My Father Burst Into the Church and Shouted, ‘The Wedding Is Canceled!’ – I Went Pale When I Learned Why…
As the ceremony began, I scanned the crowd for my father, but he was gone. My brow furrowed, but I tried to push the worry aside and focus on Kevin’s warm eyes. This was our moment—nothing could ruin it.
Just as Kevin was about to say, “I do,” the church doors slammed open with a bang. My father stormed down the aisle, rage contorting his face. “Stop the wedding!” he shouted. “You don’t know who this man really is!”
Gasps rippled through the crowd. My face burned with embarrassment. “Dad, what are you doing?” I whispered harshly.
Kevin squeezed my hand, trying to stay calm. “Mr. Matthews, this must be a misunderstanding.”
“Shut up!” my father roared. He turned to me, his eyes frantic. “Esther, this man is a fraud. He’s been lying to you from the start!”
I shook my head in disbelief. “That’s ridiculous. Kevin loves me.”
“He’s using you for your money!” Dad shouted. “He’s done this before—targeting vulnerable women like you. It was all a setup, honey.”
Kevin’s face turned pale. “Esther, baby, don’t listen to him. You know our love is real.”
I looked between them, my mind spinning. “Dad, you can’t just make accusations like this. Where’s your proof?”
With a cruel smile, Dad clapped his hands, and a waiter appeared with a cup. “This is boiling water,” Dad said, turning to Kevin. “I’ll pour it on his legs, and we’ll see the truth.”
Before anyone could react, Dad threw the water at Kevin’s legs. Kevin yelped—and then, to everyone’s shock, stood up. His legs were perfectly healthy.
The church fell into stunned silence. My heart dropped as I realized the depth of Kevin’s deception.
