From the moment Megan accused me of stealing her engagement ring, I felt the walls closing in. She paraded her fake outrage in front of everyone, even managing to plant seeds of doubt in my husband’s mind. When her fiancé finally admitted to my husband that she had taken the ring to upgrade it, I thought the nightmare was over. But before he could surprise her, Megan made a desperate move so outrageous it left him no choice but to call off the wedding.
As I walked into the family room, everyone’s eyes were fixed on me. Megan was sitting there, with a smirk on her face. “Has anyone seen my engagement ring?” she asked loudly, making sure everybody heard. I could feel the tension in the air as conversations stopped and everyone waited to see how I would respond to her obvious ploy.
