LOGINI was a wedding planner, and I personally designed my husband's wedding to his mistress. I had been with Victor for five years. Three of those years were swallowed by the pandemic. The remaining two were spent married, pregnant, and raising a child. The wedding I had always dreamed of existed only as "next time" whenever it came out of his mouth, until the day I received a new wedding planning request. The client was a young woman, her eyes curved with laughter, her smile bright and full of hope. "This is the venue my boyfriend chose himself," she said softly. "He insisted the wedding had to be held here." I took the file from her, and my gaze stopped on the venue name. The church in Clairmont. The very church I had mentioned to my husband countless times, the place I had dreamed of more than anything else. I was just about to smile and marvel at how someone in this world shared my taste so perfectly when the groom's name leapt into view. Victor Langford. My fingers froze on the page. Across from me, the girl was still wrapped in her happiness. She added gently, "We've only been together for two months, but he said he wants to give me the best wedding possible." I curved my lips into a smile and fixed my eyes on that familiar face—the man I had lived with for five years. After all this time, the day I planned Victor's wedding had finally arrived. Too bad the bride wasn't me.

His life does not need your stain."Victor looked as if he had been struck by lightning. The color drained from his face in an instant.Watching his despair, it suddenly occurred to me that he still had no idea what his so-called true love really was."Still, since you're being so devoted in your repentance, I'll share a piece of news with you. Anna confessed to everything. From the very beginning, she got close to you for your money. Oh, and that child of hers…"I paused on purpose, watching his expression tighten with sudden panic, then spoke slowly. "Based on the timeline and some chat records she carelessly left behind, the child wasn't yours at all.""That's impossible! You're lying!" Victor jerked his head up, his eyes bloodshot, as if he might break through the glass. "She loves me! She did all tha
When she found me, her face looked waxy and sallow, but her eyes burned with a reckless ferocity."Vanessa, it was you! You ruined everything!" she screamed. "You destroyed my wedding, my baby, my future!"She jabbed a finger at me, her voice sharp and shrill.I stirred the coffee in my cup at an unhurried pace, then looked up at her. "I ruined you? Wasn't it your own choice to break into someone else's marriage, betray your duties as a nurse, and hurt an innocent infant?"Anna let out a cold laugh. The fake innocence and shy sweetness she once wore like a mask were gone. What remained was raw jealousy and naked hatred."Yes! I did it on purpose. So what?" she snapped. "I recognized you a long time ago. I knew who you were the day I walked into your studio."I lowered my eyes and smiled faintly. Just as I'd expected.She stepped closer, lowering her voice, though it couldn't hide the madness underneath."Why? Why did he say he loved me, yet still couldn't bring himself to divor
My best friend looked at me, worry flickering in her eyes. "Vanessa, once you submit this, Victor won't be facing a light sentence. Are you sure? This could affect your son's future security clearances or any jobs requiring background checks."I took the file bag from her—heavy, almost as if it carried the weight of all the years of deceit.I gazed out the window at the bright sunlight, drew a deep breath, and let it out slowly."My mind's made up," I said, my voice steady. "My son will inherit wealth and a trust fund that most people can't even dream of in a lifetime. He doesn't need a father with a ruined name to give him any so-called love or connections."My friend nodded silently, offering no more objections.That afternoon, every piece of evidence against Victor was neatly submitted to the authorities.…Meanwhile, Anna, delayed in getting medical care, lost the baby.On the plane, Victor sat slumped, exhausted and brooding, replaying the chaos of the wedding and the mess
The photos laid everything bare—exactly how Victor and Anna had used my two-month-old baby as a living practice prop.Victor's face went pale. He couldn't force out another plea for mercy.Olivia stared at the images, disbelief widening her eyes. She had sided with her son because Anna was pregnant, but she had genuinely loved this long-awaited grandson.She spun on Victor, her voice sharp and shrill. "Victor! Is this real? How could you do this to your own child?"Her whole body shook with rage, yet she couldn't bring herself to hit her son.Then she saw Anna. All her fury and misplaced blame finally found an outlet.She charged the stage, where Anna was still trembling, and slapped her hard across the face."Was this your idea? You vile woman! How could you use my grandson as your practice prop? I'll beat you to death, you heartless monster!""Ah!" Caught off guard, Anna stumbled sideways, screaming.Only then did Victor snap out of his panic. Seeing Anna being hit, he rushe
