One week before her wedding, Amanda walks into her home early to find her fiancé,
Patrick, kneeling before her mother, sobbing. What she overhears shatters everything—lies,
betrayal, and a secret that could have ruined her life.
Now, she must decide whether to forgive the man she loves or destroy the con artist who
almost turned her life upside down. It all started as a normal morning, filled with wedding planning,
flowers, and cake decisions. But that afternoon, everything changed. Amanda walked into a
quiet house and heard sobbing, followed by her fiancé’s desperate voice begging her mother.
Hidden, she watched as Patrick kneeled before her mother, begging her to keep a secret.
Her mother’s cold response was unexpected: she was about to expose a truth about Patrick
that he had desperately tried to hide. Amanda’s mother revealed that Patrick had been
engaged before and had left his ex-fiancée at the altar, taking all her savings, including
money for their future home. Patrick denied everything, but his silence spoke louder than words.
The pieces of the past few years began to fit together—his deflection of questions about money,
his insistence on Amanda using her credit card for wedding deposits, and his reluctance to
discuss finances. Amanda realized the truth: Patrick had been planning a scam all along.
Her mother had proof. Patrick’s ex-fiancée, Noelle, had contacted her months before, providing
evidence of Patrick’s deceit. With her mother’s demand for him to leave, Patrick tried to
plead for forgiveness, but Amanda had already made her decision. Three days later, Amanda
discovered that Patrick had never even paid for her wedding dress. The reality of the betrayal
sank in—Patrick had only ever seen the wedding as another opportunity to exploit someone
else’s trust. Weeks later, Amanda met Noelle, Patrick’s ex-fiancée, in a bar. They shared
their experiences, both realizing they had been manipulated by the same man. Together,
they toasted to survival, karma, and a future free from his lies.
