I had a secret ability I never told anyone about. Whenever I was intimate with my boyfriend, I saw what he had been doing exactly one hour earlier. In the past, the glimpses had always been filled with love. I saw him standing in the rain, patiently waiting in line to buy my favorite muffins. I saw him gripping a small ring box with sweaty hands, nervously rehearsing his proposal again and again. Because of those moments, I believed that Eugene Shaw loved me with all his heart. Three days before our wedding, everything changed. The instant his lips met mine, a vision flashed before my eyes. In a dim lounge, he had Jeannie Rogers, my best friend, pressed against the door. Tears streamed down Jeannie’s face as she pushed weakly against his chest. "We cannot keep doing this. "Melissa paid for my education. She did everything for me. She has been nothing but good to me. "If she ever finds out, it will destroy her." Eugene did not answer. He lowered his head and kissed her. His voice sounded rough and unfamiliar. "She will never know. "And I am marrying her in three days. "Think of this as one last mistake." The vision vanished as quickly as it appeared. Back in reality, Eugene still held me in his arms. He brushed his hand across my cheek, his eyes warm with affection. "Melissa, we are almost married. "Are you happy?" I looked into his loving eyes and smiled faintly. The love I had seen in those visions had been real. His betrayal had been real as well. After seven years together, our story ended here.

Afterward, that wedding became the talk of everyone who attended.The Shaw family officially announced that the wedding was canceled, and the reception was called off as well.That very afternoon, Eugene’s mother arranged for every wedding gift the guests brought to be returned one by one. She never tried to make excuses for Eugene. Instead, she spent every phone call apologizing over and over."This is all our fault."We are truly sorry for putting everyone through this."I later heard that when Eugene got home, his father slapped him hard across the face. It was not because the wedding fell apart, but because several business partners saw the video.By that very night, they already canceled projects that were on the verge of being finalized. To everyone else, Eugene had always been the perfect gentleman. Kind. Steady. Respectable. Now, however, whenever people mentioned his name, the first thing that came to mind was the video of him with the maid of honor in the bridal suite

Eugene’s face turned even paler.Real panic finally set in.He stumbled toward me in a desperate rush."Melissa, I can explain. It is not what you think between me and Jeannie."I was just under too much stress before the wedding. I just..."I cut him off."Eugene. You do not have to explain."His eyes instantly reddened."No... that is not it."Melissa, I really did love you."For the first time, I fell silent.I looked at him."You did love me?"Eugene, listen to what you just said. Even you know that is all in the past."It was as if someone wrapped a hand around his throat. Not another word came out. I turned to face the audience, where the ballroom was filled with relatives, friends, and people who once knew my mother. Raising the microphone, I spoke in a calm, steady voice."This wedding is canceled. I am sorry everyone came here for nothing today."However, I will not apologize for exposing this farce, because I was not the one who betrayed someone."I was not t

Jeannie’s tears spilled down her face. She stumbled toward me and stopped right in front of me."Melissa, it is not what you think. I did not mean for any of this to happen."I never wanted to hurt you."I looked down at her."You did not mean to?"You showed up at my house wearing a spaghetti‑strap nightgown and used my bath towel. Was that an accident too?"You put on the veil my mother left me and got intimate with my groom in the bridal suite. Was that an accident as well?"With every sentence I spoke, Jeannie’s face grew paler. Her mouth opened and closed, yet no words came out.Eugene finally rushed back onto the stage and reached for my arm."Melissa, calm down. We have shown enough. Let us go downstairs and talk."I shook his hand off."Talk downstairs?"When you held her in that room, did you think about talking downstairs?"When you pinned the veil my mother left me beneath your bodies, did you think about talking downstairs?"Eugene froze.His eyes turned red,

The moment the words left my mouth, the ballroom fell silent.Eugene stood beside me, a slight frown forming between his brows."Melissa?"I did not look at him. I continued speaking into the microphone."I want to thank Eugene."For making me realize, on the very day of our wedding, who he truly wanted to marry."And I want to thank Jeannie."For teaching me that after paying for her education, supporting her living expenses, and loving her like my own little sister, all I received in return was an ungrateful traitor."The ballroom erupted with shocked whispers.Jeannie’s face turned ghostly pale as she shot to her feet."Melissa, what are you talking about?"This is your wedding with Eugene. Stop joking around."I looked straight at her."A joke?"Jeannie, are you not the one who loves jokes the most? Then today’s joke should be your favorite."I turned to the wedding planner."Play it."The lights on the giant screen went dark.A second later, the video appeared.
