When Paige’s sister steals her fiancé, betrayal isn’t enough, she wants to flaunt her little victory. One year later, an invitation arrives. Erica is getting married to the man she took, and she wants Paige to watch. But what Erica doesn’t know is that Paige has a plan. And before the night is over, the bride’s perfect day will be in ruins.
My sister Erica had everything handed to her on a silver platter. The youngest, the favorite — our parents spoiled her while I had to fight for everything. They paid for her college, bought her a car at 18, and never missed her recitals. Me? I had to earn a scholarship and work long hours. They even skipped my graduation because Erica had a sore throat.
Yet somehow, she still envied me. My independence, career, and most of all, my relationship.
When I introduced my fiancé, Stan, she stayed close to him, laughing too hard, brushing against him “accidentally.” Then one night, I came home early… and found them together.
Stan froze. But Erica? She smirked, “I WON.”
A month later, our wedding was canceled. They no longer had to sneak around — they were officially a couple.
I left town, trying to put it all behind me.
But a year later, an invitation arrived.
They weren’t just getting married — they wanted me to see it. To witness their victory.
But there was one thing Erica didn’t know…
And as she stood at the altar, basking in her moment of triumph, I just smiled — because in a few minutes, her entire world was about to crumble.
As I reached the laptop hooked up to the projector, I plugged in my flash drive. A few clicks, a steadying breath, and then…
Stan’s voice boomed through the hall.
“Please, don’t go!”
On the massive screen, a video from my bedroom played. Stan sat on the bed, desperately trying to justify what had happened between him and my sister.
“Erica means nothing to me, Paige! Nothing!” he pleaded. “She was a mistake! You’re the one I love—I messed up!”
The footage shifted. Erica and Stan sneaking into my house. Tiptoeing into my bedroom, thinking I was still at work.
Erica sprawled on my bed, laughing.
“She’ll never find out…” she murmured.
Stan chuckled. “Paige who?”
Gasps rippled through the crowd. Erica turned pale, her hands trembling.
Before she could lash out, another voice cut through the air.
Jack stepped forward, his black vest snug over a crisp white shirt. His piercing blue eyes met mine. Then, without hesitation, he dropped to one knee.
“I’ve waited long enough to do this, Paige.” His voice was steady, sure. “Will you marry me?”
Erica choked on her own breath. “Paige! Are you kidding me? Now?! At my wedding?!”
I grinned, feeling a year’s worth of pain melt away.
“Yes!” I said, steady and sure. “Yes, Jack! I will!”
Erica’s face contorted with fury.
“This is my day!” she shrieked, stomping so hard her chair toppled over.
I turned to her, smiling sweetly.
“Oh, sweetheart,” I said, voice laced with honey. “You stole my fiancé and my wedding. I just returned the favor and stole the spotlight.”
With Jack’s hand in mine, I walked out, leaving my sister behind—stunned, seething, and absolutely wrecked.
