Ava and Ethan’s instant connection sparks a whirlwind romance filled with dreamy dates and heartfelt conversations. Just three months later, Ethan proposes, and Ava’s over the moon. But as their wedding approaches, an unexpected revelation threatens to shatter their fairytale love.
You know those moments that feel like they’re straight out of a romance novel? That was me on a warm spring day when I met Ethan.
I was at my favorite coffee shop slash bookstore, hunting through the shelves for a new book, when our hands accidentally touched.
We both reached for the same copy of “Pride and Prejudice,” of all things. I remember looking up and just about melting into his warm, brown eyes. When he flashed me a smile that was all dimples and charm, my heart skipped a beat.
“Ethan,” I began, “when we first met, I thought I had found the love of my life. I believed in us, in the future we could have together. But today, I stand here not to marry you, but to expose the truth.”
A murmur rippled through the guests, confusion and curiosity mingling in their eyes. Ethan’s smile faltered, a flicker of panic crossing his face.
“You see, this wedding was never about love for Ethan,” I continued, my voice gaining strength. “It was about money. He needed to get married to receive his inheritance, and I was the perfect pawn in his game.”
