There were dozens of messages.
Not from another man.
Not from someone having an affair.
Instead, they were conversations with Melissa’s older sister.
The messages centered around one secret.
Melissa had been experiencing severe chest discomfort for months.
Doctors had recommended additional heart testing.
One specialist strongly advised postponing the wedding until they understood what was happening.
Melissa refused.
“I’ve waited too long for happiness,” one message read.
“I won’t let fear steal this from me.”
David’s heart sank.
She had hidden everything.
Not because she wanted to deceive him…
But because she feared he would cancel the honeymoon and spend every moment worrying.
⸻
David immediately confronted her.
Melissa burst into tears.
She admitted everything.
The chest pain.
The fatigue.
The appointments.
