However, Mo’s parents had been more thoughtful than they realized. Mo’s mom, Debbie, calmly revealed that the deed to the apartment was in Mo’s name alone, thanks to her parents covering most of the down payment and ensuring she was protected with a prenup. Barbara and Alex were stunned when Mo handed Alex the legal papers, revealing that he had no ownership of the apartment. Mo had been smart enough to anticipate this kind of betrayal and had ensured her assets were secure.

The confrontation was tense. Alex tried to justify his actions, but Mo’s father stood firm, criticizing Alex for letting his mother control his marriage. Mo, with her parents’ unwavering support, turned the tables. Alex and Barbara were forced to leave, their plans thwarted.A week later, Alex met Mo for coffee, desperate to make amends. He apologized for his actions, but Mo made it clear that his betrayal was unforgivable. She pointed out that love couldn’t fix the disrespect he had shown her, especially when he had sided with his mother without even consulting her. Mo, hurt and betrayed, ended their marriage that day, choosing to move on with her life, while Alex was left to reflect on his foolishness.
