Brittany thought her 14th wedding anniversary dinner would revive the love lost over the years. At a romantic restaurant, her husband James surprised her with a box—not jewelry, but expensive utensils. Disappointed but hopeful, she awaited her favorite dish.
Instead, the waiter brought a salad Brittany hadn’t ordered, whispering, “There’s a surprise inside—from your husband.” Inside the greens lay a diamond ring.
Tears filled Brittany’s eyes until James returned, pale and defensive. The ring wasn’t for her—it was for the waiter’s girlfriend, Chloe. James had been cheating.
The waiter revealed Chloe didn’t know about Brittany. James’s lies unraveled; he’d given rings to multiple women.
That night, Brittany’s world shattered—but so did the mask of her marriage.
