A clip of my boyfriend proposing to his assistant became an internet sensation, leading the trending lists. People were calling it the most heartwarming and moving scene they'd ever witnessed.
The assistant even shared a touching message online: "I've been waiting for you for so long, and I'm thrilled I never gave up hope. Mr. Stone, I look forward to spending the rest of my days with you."
The comment section was filled with excitement: "I'm captivated! The boss and the assistant—they're the most adorable couple ever!"
I didn't shed tears or yell. I simply closed the webpage and went to find my boyfriend for clarification.
That's when I overheard him chatting with a friend.
"What choice did I have? If I don't wed her, her relatives will make her settle for someone she doesn't care for."
"But what about Natalie? She's your real girlfriend. Aren't you worried she'll be upset?"
"So what if she's upset? Natalie's been with me for seven years. She can't walk away now."
Fast forward to our wedding day.
Yes, our wedding day.
On that same day, he was getting married to his assistant, while I was walking down the aisle with another man.
Our wedding vehicles passed each other on the road.
When we swapped bouquets with the brides from the other car as part of the custom, he glimpsed me through the window.
The instant he saw me in my bridal gown, his composure completely crumbled.

The Double-Crossed Bride's Revenge Wedding

Austin and I were celebrating our wedding, surrounded by influential guests my parents had carefully selected over the years. I had no desire to become the subject of embarrassing gossip or to spoil the event my parents had eagerly anticipated for so long.


I signaled Austin to summon security. They swiftly removed Zachary from the premises without hesitation.


The brief disturbance didn't disrupt the rest of the ceremony.


The remainder of the day unfolded smoothly, and by the time we'd finished the traditional rituals and bid farewell to our guests, it felt nearly perfect.


As the final guests departed, I turned to Austin.


"Would you mind if I took a moment to address what just occurred? I need to speak with him and bring this to a proper conclusion."


Austin didn't waver. His confidence in me was unwavering.


"Of course," he replied, his tone composed yet filled with subtle support. "Just be cautious. If you need me, simply call. I'll be waiting right here."
