Nothing hurts more than discovering the man you're about to marry has been lying to your face for months-hours before you walk down the aisle. One minute, I'm laughing with my bridesmaids, trying on the white dress that cost more than my first car, dreaming about forever. The next minute, my phone lights up with screenshots I was never meant to see. Naked. Moaning someone else's name. The same man who whispered, "You're my everything" just last night. He swears it was a mistake. He drops to his knees, tears in his eyes, begging me to believe him. But how do you forgive a betrayal that shatters your entire future in one brutal second? I'm supposed to be the blushing bride. Instead, I'm the girl holding proof that the love of my life sold our forever for a few nights of pleasure. And the worst part? He's not the only one keeping secrets. My best friend knows more than she's letting on. My family is hiding something darker. And the mysterious groomsman who's been watching me all week... he looks at me like he already knows exactly how this story ends. They think I'll still say, "I do." They have no idea I'm about to burn this wedding to the ground. But what if the biggest lie... isn't his?
