My Fiancé's Ticking Time Bomb
The night before my wedding, I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a "Story Time" video.
The girl on screen said, "I loved a man for ten years, and three times, he almost killed me."
The first time, their relationship was exposed. His parents disapproved and forced them apart. After they broke up, she swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills, desperate to see him again.
The second time, she was pregnant with their child. Because they couldn't raise it, she was forced to have an abortion and hemorrhaged so badly she nearly died.
The third time, she heard he was getting married and was completely devastated.
Finally, she whispered, "If you don't come tomorrow, I'll see you in the next life."
In the caption, she'd tagged an account.
The moment I clicked on it, I saw a picture of my own back as I tried on my wedding dress, pinned to the top of the profile.
At the same time, my fiancé, Liam, sent me a message.
"Ava, something urgent came up. We have to postpone the wedding."
