When Paige\u2019s sister steals her fianc\u00e9, betrayal isn\u2019t enough. She wants to flaunt her small victory. A year later, an invitation arrives. Erica is getting married to the man she stole, and she wants Paige to attend the ceremony. But what Erica doesn\u2019t know is that Paige has a plan. And before the night is over, the bride\u2019s perfect day will be in ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wasn\u2019t supposed to attend this wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was evident from the sidelong glances and whispers that trailed behind me as I crossed the great hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll admit, the wedding planning was magnificent. Erica had taken the time to set the scene in shades of gold and ivory. The guests arrived in their expensive gowns and tuxedos. Everything was\u2026 magnificent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But no amount of elegance could mask the rot beneath the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn\u2019t just any wedding. It was her wedding.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erica.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"People<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My little sister. My parents\u2019 darling. The one who was given everything on a silver platter, while I had to fight for even the slightest success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now ?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had taken the only thing that was supposed to be mine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stan.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stan had been my fianc\u00e9. He had been my future. He was the man I loved and trusted, until I came home early from work one night and found them both in our bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I still remember how he froze, his face twisted with guilt. As for my sister? She only smiled, her voice dripping with smug satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI win, Paige,\u201d she said simply. \u201cCheckmate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A month later, the wedding I\u2019d spent over a year planning was canceled, with every vendor trying to keep my deposits. And what about Erica and Stan? They didn\u2019t have to hide anymore. They were finally an official couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After that, I left the city for a few weeks, moving from hotel to hotel while working remotely. I tried to put it all behind me, and I eventually did. When I was ready, I moved back in and got myself a kitten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then the invitation arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And now, a year after this whole fiasco, there I was, in the middle of their celebration, invited as nothing more than a spectator to their so-called victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bet my parents forced her to invite me. If Erica had her way, she never would have invited me. Or maybe she would have\u2026 just to cheer herself up. She was as mean as they come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But what Erica didn\u2019t know, what no one knew, was that tonight, I wasn\u2019t there to mourn my loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had come to make sure Erica would never forget what she had done to me. And with that, she would never forget the surprise I had prepared for her wedding reception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony was a blur. I stood in the back, barely listening to the officiant talk about love and devotion. Honestly, they were just words that meant nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Stan, dressed in a crisp black tuxedo, stared at Erica with an adoring look I knew was fake. She, in turn, looked at him as if she\u2019d won the greatest prize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I almost laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy it while you can, darling<\/em> , I thought, sipping my champagne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

By the time the reception began, the room was buzzing with laughter and clinking glasses. A massive screen behind the dance floor was playing a slideshow of their engagement photos, Stan lifting Erica into the air, their foreheads touching as they smiled at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, if you didn\u2019t know the story of how they met, you\u2019d think they were genuinely happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And maybe they were. Maybe that\u2019s how things were meant to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Champagne<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But I wasn\u2019t going to give in that easily. I wasn\u2019t going to let this go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should Erica be happy, especially after all the pain and betrayal I had felt?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. No chance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, their perfect little fairy tale would take a turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked through the crowd unnoticed, my elegant black dress hugging my body perfectly. I wasn\u2019t dressed like a guest. I was dressed like a rookie, and I felt confident, more confident than I had in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I walked over to the laptop connected to the projector and slid my USB drive inside. A few clicks, a deep breath, and then\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s showtime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first few seconds flew by. Guests continued to sip champagne and nibble, lost in conversation. The bride and groom made their way through the crowd, stopping to talk and hug people as they passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when Stan\u2019s voice filled the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t leave me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The video played on the giant screen, grainy images from the camera installed in my room. Stan was on the bed, his face streaked with tears. I stood on the other end of the line, listening to him try to \u201cexplain\u201d what had happened between him and my sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cErica means nothing to me, Paige! Absolutely nothing!\u201d he sobbed. \u201cShe was a mistake! I love you, Paige! I made a huge mistake!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A heavy silence fell over the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned to Erica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His face had lost all color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A shocked bride | Source: Midjourney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stan, too, remained frozen, his eyes wide. His hands clenched at his sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I wasn\u2019t finished yet.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The video was cut to show other footage. I lived in a quiet neighborhood that was often the target of burglaries, which is why I had security cameras installed everywhere and in every room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the footage showed Erica and Stan sneaking into my house together, slipping into my bedroom when they thought I was working late. Timestamp after timestamp, betrayal after betrayal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then, the final nail in the coffin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erica, lying in my bed, laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019ll never know\u2026\u201d she whispered, her voice light and breathy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPaige who?\u201d Stan said, laughing with her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Someone dropped a glass of champagne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh my God,\u201d one woman whispered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My mother looked like she was going to faint. My father\u2019s jaw clenched so hard I swore I heard his teeth grinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then it\u2019s total chaos.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erica stumbled back, her hands shaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis\u2026this isn\u2019t real!\u201d she stammered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A shocked woman | Source: Midjourney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the proof was there, shining brightly in the glare of the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDinner will be served now!\u201d she exclaimed, waving her hands in the air. \u201cEveryone sit down and enjoy!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stan turned to her, his expression turning into pure rage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cErica, you told me you went on Paige\u2019s computer and deleted the pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh?\u201d I mused, my voice dripping with mocking innocence. \u201cYou mean you knew? You knew the security cameras were going to catch you in the act?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His face turned pale, he gave himself away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guests murmured louder, judgment and disgust evident on their faces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And then, before Erica could reply, a voice cut through the tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPaige.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I turned around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack stepped forward into the crowd, his crisp white shirt visible beneath the black vest of his waiter\u2019s uniform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A month ago, when I talked to Jack about what I wanted to do, he insisted he needed to be with me. He had just stopped by after work, and the first thing he saw was my sister\u2019s wedding invitation on the table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to go to the wedding,\u201d I told him. \u201cI just don\u2019t want to be\u2026 I don\u2019t know. Jack, Erica is trouble. She\u2019s used to everything being about her. I want to teach her a lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack moved around the kitchen, chopping whatever I asked him to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen I\u2019m coming with you, Paige,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I don\u2019t want you to draw attention,\u201d I said, handing her a bowl of ramen. \u201cI don\u2019t want Erica to ruin my moment before I even get there. And if she sees you, that\u2019s exactly what she\u2019ll do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen I\u2019ll come as a waiter, if that\u2019s what it takes!\u201d he said. \u201cBut I want to be there. That way, if you need me, I\u2019ll be there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I gave in. I was estranged from my parents, and it had been a long time since I\u2019d been close to my family, so knowing Jack was there made me feel better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Jack placed his tray of champagne glasses on a table and smiled at me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His bright blue eyes met mine. They were steady and unwavering\u2026 and reassuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019d never been so grateful to see someone in my life. Even though I was surrounded by family, Jack\u2019s presence was the only thing that kept me grounded throughout the ceremony. I despised Erica and Stan, but seeing them get married warmed my heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But now? Seeing Jack?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt comforted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShall we go?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack shook his head and walked over to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gasps rippled through the crowd as he advanced toward me, each step measured and determined. Then, without hesitation, he knelt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room, already shaken by the on-screen scandal, fell into a stunned silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a small velvet box. He opened it, revealing the most breathtaking ring I had ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve waited long enough to ask you this, my love,\u201d he said, his voice strong, clear, and certain. \u201cPaige, will you marry me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A sharp intake of breath swept through the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erica let out a strangled sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre\u2026 are you kidding me right now?\u201d she shouted. \u201cPaige! Paige! What the hell is this? Now? At my wedding?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked like a deer in headlights, but she also looked like a cannon about to burst into the room, taking everything with her. For a moment, I felt bad. But overall\u2026 I felt vindicated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A screaming bride | Source: Midjourney<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I smiled, the weight of the past year lifted off my shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had stolen from the wrong man. Stan was nothing compared to Jack. Jack was everything Stan hadn\u2019t been. He was trustworthy and certain of life and his love for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stan? Stan just wanted to have fun.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But when I looked at him now, he looked heartbroken. It was as if everything bad had happened to him and the weight of it all was suffocating him. He looked at Erica, who was still angry. He even tried to reach out to her, but she pulled it away with such force that he looked shocked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would have liked to go see him. But that wasn\u2019t my problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Side<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Instead, I turned back to Jack, my chest tight with emotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes!\u201d I said, my voice unwavering. \u201cYes, Jack! I will!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room erupted. Some guests, still reeling from the scandal, were now applauding. My mother wiped away tears, not of shame this time, but of joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Erica\u2019s face twisted with pure, unfiltered rage. There was something unusual about her rage. I\u2019d never seen her so upset in my life. Erica was used to getting everything she wanted, but now, on the most important day of her life, she had lost control. There was no<\/em> joy in her actions. There was no<\/em> victory over me anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was just\u2026 anger and hurt. And disappointment. I should have felt bad, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I couldn\u2019t. I couldn\u2019t bring myself to do it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s my day!\u201d she shouted, stamping her foot and knocking over her chair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I turned to her, tilting my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, honey,\u201d I said, my voice dripping with sweetness. \u201cYou stole that jerk and my wedding from me. I just returned the favor and stole your thunder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, with Jack\u2019s hand firmly in mine, I walked out of the room, leaving my sister standing at her wedding reception, humiliated, betrayed, and hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The wedding was long behind us, but my heart was still pounding. The echoes of Erica\u2019s gasps, whispers, and screams still clung to the periphery of my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it was just Jack and me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were sitting across from each other in a tiny 24-hour diner, both absurdly overdressed for a place that served greasy fries and milkshakes in chipped glasses. My sleek black dress looked out of place against the cracked leather booth, and Jack looked like he\u2019d stepped out of a movie scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And yet, I had never felt so comfortable all evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack slid a plate of fries towards me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEat,\u201d he ordered. \u201cYou\u2019ve had a long day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s an understatement,\u201d I say, laughing, but I take a fry anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For a while we sat there, the hum of the restaurant filling the silence. It wasn\u2019t awkward, it was easy. But that was life since I\u2019d met Jack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I put down my glass and met his gaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo\u2026 how long have you been planning this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe marriage proposal?\u201d he smiled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He exhaled, leaned back against the booth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to propose to you for months, Paige. But I knew you weren\u2019t ready. Not just for marriage, but for this whole commitment thing? You needed time to heal. I wasn\u2019t going to rush things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her fingers traced patterns on the table, then picked up her milkshake again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut when I found out she invited you? That was the final straw. I wasn\u2019t going to let you stay alone while she showed it off in front of you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd did you find a job in catering, or did you sneak in?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI asked for a favor, darling,\u201d he smiled. \u201cApparently, I\u2019m fine holding a tray.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I laughed, really laughed, for the first time in a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack leaned forward, his expression much softer now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI meant every word, Paige. I love you. And I\u2019ll wait as long as you need me to. But tonight seemed like the right time to finally ask you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think,\u201d I said after a while, \u201cthat you\u2019ve chosen the perfect moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And for the first time in a long time, I felt like I had won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
