Chapter 1: You Are Not for Him

"You are not for him!"Betty froze.The words had come so sharply that for a moment, she wondered whether she had heard them correctly.Across the grand living room, Freddie's mother stood with her arms folded, her expensive pearl necklace resting against the neckline of her cream blouse. Her expression was calm, almost pleasant, but there was nothing pleasant about the way she looked at Betty.Betty glanced down at the engagement ring on her finger."I beg your pardon?"Moms stepped closer."You heard me. You are not the woman I want for my son."Betty swallowed. She had spent the entire afternoon choosing what to wear for this visit. She had even bought a small box of chocolates because Freddie had told her his mother loved them.Now the box sat untouched on the coffee table between them."Freddie loves me," Betty said quietly.Moms gave a short, humorless laugh."Freddie loves many things. That doesn't mean he knows what's good for him.""He's not a child."The words escaped before

Chapter 2: The Message

Betty had barely reached the front gate when her phone vibrated.She ignored it.Freddie was still inside the mansion, trying to calm his mother. Betty could picture him standing in that grand living room, shoulders tense, caught between the woman who raised him and the woman he wanted to marry.She hated that he had to choose.But she hated even more that Moms had made it feel like a choice at all.Her phone vibrated again.Betty stopped beside the car and glanced at the screen.Unknown NumberReturn the ring before you embarrass yourself.For a moment, the words blurred.She read them again, hoping she had misunderstood. The message was short, cold, and certain as if whoever had sent it knew Betty would eventually surrender.Her fingers tightened around the phone.She could block the number. She could pretend it meant nothing. She could show Freddie and let him deal with it.Instead, she typed:I’m not returning anything. Freddie gave me this ring because he loves me.She hesitated,

Chapter 3: The Woman Before Betty

Betty knew the evening would be uncomfortable before she even arrived.Freddie had told her his aunt was hosting a family dinner, and his mother expected them both to attend. He had offered to make an excuse, but Betty refused. She didn’t want their relationship to become something they hid whenever Moms was unhappy.Besides, she wanted to meet the family on her own terms.“You don’t have to stay long,” Freddie said as they walked toward the house.Betty glanced at him. “You’ve said that three times.”“I’m trying to make sure you’re okay.”“I’m fine. I’m just wondering whether your mother will pretend I don’t exist or introduce me as the woman who ruined her life.”Freddie gave a reluctant laugh. “She wouldn’t say that.”“You sound very sure.”He stopped at the front door and turned toward her. “I know she’s difficult. I know she’s been unfair to you. But I want you to know that I’m not going to let her decide what happens between us.”Betty searched his face. She could see how much h

Chapter 4: The Wedding She Cancelled

Freddie barely slept.Every time he closed his eyes, he saw the message from the woman he had dated years ago. He had kept it because he never understood why she left so suddenly. At the time, his mother had told him the woman was unreliable and had decided to end things.He had believed her.Now Betty’s questions had opened a door he had spent years keeping shut.At six in the morning, his phone rang.“Freddie,” Moms said, “I need you to come home.”He sat up in bed. “It’s too early.”“I have something important to discuss with you.”“Can it wait?”“No.”He rubbed his face. “Mom, I told you Betty and I need space.”“This has nothing to do with Betty.”Freddie knew that was a lie.“I’ll come by later,” he said, and ended the call before she could argue.He dressed, made coffee, and drove to his mother’s house. The moment he entered, he saw a stack of wedding invitations on the dining table. Several envelopes had already been opened. A folder lay beside them, filled with notes and prin

Chapter 5: A Rumor at the Office

Betty arrived at work on Monday determined to put the weekend behind her.She had spent too much time thinking about Freddie’s mother, the unknown messages, and the woman from Freddie’s past. She wanted a normal day, one where she could finish her assignments without wondering who was watching her or what trouble might come next.For the first few hours, she almost managed it.Then her colleague, Nora, appeared beside her desk with a concerned look.“Betty, can I ask you something?”Betty glanced up from her computer. “Of course.”“Are you and Freddie getting married?”Betty smiled, though Nora’s tone made her uneasy. “Yes. We’re engaged.”Nora shifted her weight. “I heard something, and I didn’t want to believe it.”“What did you hear?”“That you pressured him into proposing.”Betty’s smile disappeared. “What?”Nora lowered her voice. “Someone said Freddie’s family doesn’t approve. They said you’ve been pushing him to get married because he’s wealthy.”Betty stared at her.The rumor

Chapter 6: The Woman Who Left

Freddie’s words left Betty staring at him.“Who?”He looked at the email again, as if the sender’s name might appear if he waited long enough. It was the same unknown address that had sent the message about the woman from his past.“I don’t know for certain,” he said. “But I have a feeling.”“Is it the woman you dated?”Freddie nodded.Betty moved her laptop closer. “Then we should read it.”“Betty, I don’t want you dragged into this.”“I’m already in it. Someone is sending me messages about our relationship, and now they’re bringing up your past. I need to understand what’s happening.”Freddie hesitated. Then he sat beside her.“Open it.”The email contained only a few lines.Betty,You deserve to know that Freddie’s mother was not the only reason I left. I tried to tell him the truth, but he wouldn’t listen. I’m sorry I stayed silent for so long.If you want to understand what happened, ask Freddie why he never came looking for me.—LauraBetty read it twice.“Laura,” she said. “Tha

Chapter 7: A Meeting in the Rain

Freddie chose a quiet café near the city center for his meeting with Laura.He arrived twenty minutes early and took a table beside the window. Rain had begun to fall, blurring the traffic outside. He watched people hurry past with bags over their heads and umbrellas held low.He had imagined seeing Laura again many times. In some versions, she was angry. In others, she was relieved. He had even imagined her telling him she had never stopped loving him.Now that the meeting was real, he could barely think of what to say.The bell above the café door rang.Laura stepped inside.She looked older, of course. Her hair was shorter, and she wore a simple grey coat. But Freddie recognized her immediately. She paused when she saw him, then walked over.“Hello, Freddie.”He stood. “Laura.”They didn’t hug.Laura sat down and placed her bag beside her chair. Freddie called for two coffees, but she shook her head.“Just water, please.”He waited until the waiter left.“Thank you for agreeing to

Chapter 8: The Call She Feared

Moms held the phone against her ear, unable to answer.She knew that voice. She had spent years telling herself she would never hear it again.“Are you there?” the man asked.“What do you want?”“I want to speak to my son.”Moms looked toward the front door, as if Freddie might return and save her from the conversation. “You have no right to call him your son after all these years.”“He is my son.”“You left us.”“I know.”The simple answer unsettled her more than an argument would have.“Then why are you calling now?” she asked.“Because I heard he’s getting married.”Moms’s throat tightened. “Who told you that?”“That doesn’t matter. I want to meet him.”“No.”“Moms, I’m not asking your permission.”She stood abruptly. “You don’t get to come back after all this time and act as if nothing happened.”“I’m not acting as if nothing happened. I know I made mistakes. But Freddie deserves to hear the truth from me.”Moms’s eyes fell on the old photograph lying on the table. Freddie was a

Chapter 9: The Truth Between Them

Betty was waiting outside her apartment when Freddie arrived.She had called him twice that afternoon, but he had been unable to answer. When he finally sent a message saying he was coming over, she knew he had met his father.She opened the door before he could knock.“How did it go?”Freddie stepped inside and set his keys on the table. “I don’t know.”Betty closed the door. “That bad?”“Not bad. Just… strange.” He rubbed his face. “I’ve spent years thinking my father didn’t want me. Now he says he tried to stay in my life.”“What do you believe?”Freddie looked at her. “I believe he made mistakes. I believe my mother made mistakes, too. But I don’t know how much of what I remember is the truth.”Betty led him to the sofa. He sat beside her, still carrying the tension of the meeting.“Did he say why he left?” she asked.“They were unhappy. He says Mom thought he wanted to take me away from her. He admits he should have fought harder to remain in my life.”Betty listened without inte

Chapter 10: What Moms Found

Moms had never liked uncertainty.She preferred knowing where Freddie was, who he spent time with, and what plans he had made. When he was younger, she had called his school whenever he stayed late. When he started working, she made sure she knew his colleagues. Even after he moved into his own apartment, he still called her almost every day.That was how she liked things.But lately, Freddie had stopped sharing details of his life with her. He no longer told her when he was going out or asked for her opinion before making decisions. Worse, he had started questioning the stories she had told him.And Betty was at the center of it all.Moms picked up her phone and called the woman she had hired.“Have you found anything about Betty?”“I have some information,” the woman replied. “But I would rather explain it in person.”“Come to the house this afternoon.”“I'll be there.”Moms ended the call and sat back in her chair. She wanted to know everything about Betty before the woman became e
