I’m Lily, a 28-year-old private event planner, and I was in charge of organizing a lavish wedding for Vanessa, a wealthy 38-year-old fashion heiress. After months of preparation, the big day finally arrived. Vanessa was marrying a businessman named Eric, whom I’d never met since Vanessa handled all the planning herself, saying Eric was too busy to participate.
When the groom’s limousine pulled up, I was stunned—it was Daniel, my ex-fiancé who vanished six months ago, leaving me heartbroken and financially ruined. He didn’t recognize me and acted like a perfect gentleman, wearing a different name, Eric.
Six months earlier, Daniel and I had planned our own wedding, but he ran off after draining our bank accounts, leaving me devastated. I reported the theft to the police, but because he had power of attorney, it was complicated to pursue.
Now, seeing him at Vanessa’s wedding, I couldn’t stay silent. I confronted him in front of the guests, accusing him of deception, but he denied everything. The police chief, who happened to be Vanessa’s brother, defended Eric and asked me to leave.
Determined to stop Daniel from hurting Vanessa, I disguised myself as Vanessa’s long-lost grandmother “Linda” with the help of a makeup artist. I attended the wedding, gained Vanessa’s trust, and revealed a fake heirloom diamond to expose Daniel’s true nature.
When Daniel tried to steal the diamond during a blackout, I struck him down. The police chief arrested him, and Vanessa realized I’d been protecting her all along.
A week later, Vanessa thanked me and offered me a job as her personal assistant, opening the door to a hopeful new chapter.
