Antotexted Janelle: “Since we're having a baby, let's get married soon. We'll have a small wedding now. My
family thinks it’s best since you're pregnant and shouldn't stress. Next year, after the baby’s born, we can have
a big one.”
Janelle took the bait and replied with a heart emoji.
“Gotcha,” Antowhispered with a smirk.
The “small” wedding turned out to be quite the event.
The Kaufman family’s suburban estate, usually kept for special occasions, was buzzing on Saturday night.
All of Antonio’s friends were invited. Chatter and laughter about the night's events filled the venue.
“Hey, | heard Mr. Kaufman is getting hitched, but where's his family?” one asked.
“You didn’t hear? He's doing all this for the bride. He had a big fallout with his family over the marriage. After
tonight, the Kaufman family will have to accept her, whether they like it or not,” another replied.
“What a move! Who's the lucky girl?”

As she surveyed the room, a thought tugged at her. “Where is Antonio’s family? It’s all young people here.” The
sight of the exquisite bouquets, however, soothed her unease.
Janelle knew Antowould marry her. Grace didn’t stand a chance against her.
The wedding was about to start. A few friends whisked Janelle away to the dressing room, keen to touch up her
makeup.
“No need,” she said. “Antothinks makeup isn’t good for the baby, so the artist only did a light one for me.”
“True,” one friend agreed. “Our Nellie is already stunning. No makeup needed.”
Janelle was over the moon. “Next year, I'll wear a custom wedding gown!”
“Absolutely! You have no idea how envious everyone is. This is Antowe're talking about-they probably never
even get to see him much,” another remarked.
Janelle grinned ear to ear, already picturing her dream come
true.
The ceremony started, but Antowas nowhere to be found.
At first, Janelle kept her cool, but as the whispers grew, her smile faded.
The background music suddenly cut off, and the large screen behind Janelle cto life.
“Hello, everyone. I'm Antonio,” his voice echoed through the speakers. “Thank you all for coming to our
wedding.”

“Janelle, please open it,” Antonio’s voice urged.
Excited, she reached out with shaky hands and opened the box. Inside was a massive diamond ring. The crowd
went wild.
“That's a Graff diamond, top of the line!” one yelled.
“Whoa, isn’t that a diamond just for royalty? Antomust really love her!” someone exclaimed, recognizing the
ring.
The envious whispers only made Janelle feel even more smug. “Nellie, will you marry me?” Antonio's voice
boomed.
The venue erupted into cheers and applause.
“Yes,” Janelle said. She turned around, her eyes welling up with tears of joy as she saw him on the screen.
She had no idea why Antowas using the kit instead of being here in person. She just anticipated the next
surprise.
Janelle covered her mouth, trying to keep it together.
But then, on the screen, Antonio's face twisted into a smirk. “But no, | don’t want to marry you.”
