Heads turned.
Laura stood.
Shock rippled through the guests.
“I saw you with her the day you asked for more time,” I said. “I followed her. She told me everything.”
“It’s not—” he turned on Laura. “You ruined everything.”
She walked forward. “I told you to get a job, Jack. You thought this would be easier.”
I slipped the ring off and placed it in his pocket.
Then I faced the room. “This wedding is off.”
I stepped down and picked up Diana.
“Mom? Was that the plan?”
I exhaled softly. “Yes, baby. But everything is okay now.”
And it was—because the only person who truly mattered was safe in my arms.
Maybe I would find love again.
But next time, I wouldn’t be so easily charmed—or deceived.
