Ava and Ethan’s instant connection sparks a whirlwind romance with dreamy dates and heartfelt conversations. Three months later, Ethan proposes, and Ava is over the moon. But as their wedding approaches, an unexpected revelation threatens to shatter their fairytale love.
On a warm spring day, I met Ethan at my favorite coffee shop. We both reached for the same copy of “Pride and Prejudice.” He smiled, “Looks like we have the same taste in books.” I giggled, “You can have it.” He suggested, “How about we share it? Over coffee, perhaps?” That afternoon, we bonded over books and coffee, and I was smitten.
Three months later, Ethan proposed at the same coffee shop. As the sun set, he said, “Ava, you’ve brought so much joy into my life in such a short time. Will you marry me?” I nodded, “Yes, yes, a thousand times, yes!” We planned a small, intimate wedding by the lake.
At the pre-wedding party, Ethan’s sister revealed the truth. “Ethan needed to marry within six months to get his inheritance.” Devastated, I checked his phone and found messages mocking me: “Just a few more months and the inheritance is mine.”
On our wedding day, I exposed the truth. “This wedding was never about love for you, Ethan. It was about money.” I walked away from the altar, reclaiming my worth and beginning my journey of healing and self-discovery.
