The moment the woman introduced herself and told her who she was, it was as if Emma’s life fell apart. She thought back about all the good times she’d had with David. From the moment they started dating to the moment he got down on one knee to ask her to marry him. He had always been so sweet to her. She remembered him promising her a life filled with love, honesty, and commitment. But now, as she listened to the woman on the other end of the line, she realized that he had been lying to her all along.
Emma’s hands trembled as she held the phone to her ear. She wanted to ask the woman more questions, but her throat felt dry, and her voice failed her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she slowly put the phone down, realizing that her dream of a perfect wedding and a perfect life with David was over.
