“What the hell is going on here?” she shouted.
The couple sprang apart.
“We’re not doing anything!” Daniel said stupidly. “We’re discussing work.”
“I saw them in the bathroom yesterday, too,” I said. “They were… together. They want your money, honey. Daniel is going to divorce you and take the money.”
“But… what?” she gasped.
“Do you really want to believe your mother?” Daniel asked.
“Of course,” Eliza said. “She’s everything to me. And you’re stupid. And pathetic. And you won’t get anything. I changed the prenup, Daniel. You get nothing for cheating.”
And like that, my child had to put herself together after the betrayal of her best friend and her husband.
Weddings are often framed as the happiest day of a person’s life, but they can also reveal unexpected truths. These stories remind us that love, though beautiful, isn’t always easy. It requires honesty, respect, and the courage to confront uncomfortable truths. Because in the end, it’s better to face the storm and emerge stronger than to live a lie.
