I CAME HOME EARLY AND CAUGHT MY FIANCÉ ON HIS KNEES IN FRONT OF MY MOM — I HID TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH

With our wedding just a week away, I was stretched to my limits—work, last-minute prep, and trying to stay sane. Patrick and I were staying with my parents to save up for the big day.

That afternoon, feeling unwell, I left work early and entered through the side door… only to hear sobs from the living room. My heart raced as I peeked in. Patrick was on his knees, crying and begging, while my mom stood silently.

Then she spoke, calm and menacing:
“Fine. I won’t say anything—but only if you agree to ONE condition.”

Patrick pleaded, his voice breaking. My stomach dropped. I had to know. I stepped forward. “Don’t do what?” I demanded, trembling.
