One night Nick left his phone on the sink while he showered. Messages lit up the screen.
The photos and texts Nick and Lori had been exchanging removed the last of my doubts — my fiancé was cheating on me with my own sister.
But that wasn’t even the worst part.
One afternoon I was at my parents’ house when a message preview from Lori appeared on Mom’s iPad.
What do we do if Andrea freaks out?
Mom was in the bathroom, and the device wasn’t locked. I opened the message.
Then I saw the reply that changed something in me forever.
She won’t. She’s always been too soft to fight back.
I stared at the words until they blurred.
My own mother was part of it.
I took a screenshot and sent it to myself before deleting the evidence. The three of them were in for a very big surprise on the wedding day.
The church looked beautiful on the wedding day. The flowers, the decorations… everything was perfect.
Tears filled my eyes knowing it was all a lie, but I wiped them away. I needed everything in place for my own surprise.
What I didn’t realize was how completely Lori and Nick intended to betray me.
I entered the bridal suite to get ready for “my wedding.”
But my gown was gone.
