Surprising my Boyfriend with My Wedding Without Him

“Mom, about what Dad said years ago… I’ve decided to go through with it. Tell him to arrange the marriage.”

I ended the call, and the music flooded back in. Audrey’s birthday party was still in full swing.

Audrey—the girl I once saved from bullies, who I thought was my best friend.

Jared, my boyfriend, and Jackson, my closest childhood friend, changed the moment Audrey entered our lives. Suddenly, she was their everything. They laughed with her, cared for her… and eventually, they told me they loved her. Right to my face.
