I Unexpectedly Encountered My Fiancé’s ‘Twin Brother’ — Discovering the Reality Led Me to End Our Engagement

When Lucy meets Alex, she thinks that she has finally found the love of her life. But after she blows her tire, a chance trip to the auto repair shop leaves her stunned. There, she finds a man who looks identical to her fiancé. What else is Alex hiding from her?

“Lucy, tell me everything,” my sister said when I showed up at her house looking for a shoulder to cry on.

“Make me some tea and give me some cookies, and I’ll tell you everything,” I said.

“Coming right up!” she exclaimed, running to the kitchen.

“There is no twin brother, is there?” I demanded.

“No, there isn’t,” he said, looking down.

“Why lie? Why lie about everything?” I asked, wanting to throw my cup of tea at him.

After a moment of silence, he finally looked at me, his eyes pleading.

“I wanted to be someone you could be proud of. I knew about your family’s wealth and connections, and I thought… I thought if I seemed successful, you’d actually want a chance with me. That you’d never see me as just a mechanic.”

I was at a loss for words. A part of me wanted to understand, to find some reason that would make this all make sense. But another part, a larger part, felt an overwhelming sense of betrayal.

This wasn’t just a harmless lie. No, this was a fundamental betrayal of trust.

“I can’t do this,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “I can’t marry someone who built our relationship on lies.”

Alex reached out to touch my hand, but I pulled away.

“Please, give me a chance to make it right,” he pleaded.

But there was no making it right. It was over. With a heavy heart, I took off the engagement ring and placed it on the table.

“I think you should return your mother’s ring to her,” I said sadly.

“Oh, Lu,” Mia said when I told her the whole story. “I’m really sorry that you had to go through this.”

I smiled at her with tears in my eyes.

“Well, at least you know exactly how it feels,” I said. “So that makes me feel better.”

Mia laughed and hugged me.

“Look, it has to get better than these deceitful men. We’ll find the good ones soon.”

I nodded and sat back against the couch.

What would you have done?
