The Price of Swapping Wives: His Remorse
Shawn Hansen, Wigston's most notorious playboy, always has a thing for dazzling women. This time, his eyes are set on Carrie Myers, my fiance Harvey Anderson's close friend.
And now, he decides to marry her on the same day as my wedding.
When I go to Harvey to discuss the wedding details, I walk in on him holding Carrie and promising, "Don't worry. I'll marry you. Our churches are side by side, and with your face hidden under the veil, I'll swap you in for her. No one will ever notice."
Carrie sobbed, her voice filled with concern. "Angelina is clever. She will undoubtedly notice something is wrong."
He kisses her forehead gently and comforts her, "I'll drug her so she won't be able to think straight or resist."
Only then does she relax, yet she asks curiously, "You really don't mind letting her marry Shawn?"
Harvey thinks seriously before replying, "I love you and must marry you first. Shawn is my good friend, so even if he marries her, he wouldn't touch her. I'll bring her back once he realizes the bride has been switched. By then, the two of you can serve me together."
I can't bear to listen any longer, and I turn to leave with a broken heart.
Despite the sorrow, I am determined to become Shawn's wife.
