. My mom even suggested that Lauren should be the bride, as the wedding was already paid for. I walked out of their house, feeling abandoned and betrayed by everyone.When the wedding day arrived, I wasn’t invited, but I decided to attend anyway. I didn’t plan to cause a scene; I just wanted to stand up during the “objections” part and let everyone know Ethan was my fiancé first. But when I arrived at the venue, everything was off. There was no music, no joy—only police officers. Ethan had been caught trying to flee the city.

It turned out Ethan was a con artist. He had been scamming multiple women, stealing wedding gifts, deposits, and money. My sister, now abandoned at the altar, was left devastated while my parents were in shock.As I stood there, watching the chaos unfold, I felt a small smile creep across my face. Justice had been served. The man who had broken my heart was now on the run, and Lauren was left to pick up the pieces.A year later, I’m about to marry someone else—Officer Matt, the kind man who had supported me through the aftermath. Life has a funny way of working out, and I’ve learned that sometimes, the best revenge is simply moving on and finding happiness in unexpected places.
