At first, it was small things.
Melissa and Daniel began spending time together while helping plan the wedding. They said they were organizing surprises for me, handling decorations, coordinating music. I trusted them completely. Why wouldn’t I?
But the whispers started before the truth did.
One afternoon, a mutual friend pulled me aside.
“I think you should talk to Daniel,” she said gently.
My stomach tightened.
A week later, Daniel sat across from me at our kitchen table, his hands trembling.
“I didn’t mean for this to happen,” he said quietly.
I remember the room feeling suddenly too small.
Melissa and Daniel had fallen in love.
Two months later, they were married.
I didn’t attend the wedding.
