When I traveled to visit my sister, excited to meet her fiancé, nothing prepared me for the shock awaiting me at her doorstep. Secrets from my past collided with her future, and I had to choose: protect her happiness or risk our bond to expose the truth. Some decisions change everything.
They came to bury a husband, a father, and a friend. Instead, they uncovered the life he hid for years. At one funeral, two families collided, and a storm of betrayal, anger, and broken promises changed everything they thought they knew.
I thought my mother-in-law was just overbearing. But when she stole the spotlight at our gender reveal, I realized she would do anything to stay at the center of our lives. I wanted space. She refused to give it. Then I discovered her biggest secret—and regret hit her harder than she imagined.
Just after my boyfriend proposed, I was on cloud nine. I couldn’t wait to share the news with everyone, but my best friend was silent. Then, in the dead of night, my phone rang. Her voice was a whisper, but her words hit me as she said: “Don’t trust him.” Suddenly, my perfect world started to crack.
