Layla’s Perfect Goodbye
Layla thought her simple courthouse wedding to Derek was enough—until his family dismissed it as “not real”
and treated her like a placeholder. Despite her efforts, they excluded and mocked her, and Derek never stood up for her.
After overhearing his mother and sister belittling her again, Layla stopped trying—and started planning.
She invited everyone to a lavish “wedding reception” at a beautiful estate, complete with string quartet
and floating candles. But when she took the mic, she revealed the truth: this wasn’t a celebration—it was a goodbye.
Servers handed out envelopes. Inside? Divorce papers.
“This estate? It’s mine. My name? You never asked. But I never needed your approval to matter,” Layla said.
“Since I was never treated like a real wife… I no longer need a real husband.”
