<\/p>\nWhen 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 fianc\u00e9. What else is Alex hiding from her?<\/p>\n
\u201cLucy, tell me everything,\u201d my sister said when I showed up at her house looking for a shoulder to cry on.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake me some tea and give me some cookies, and I\u2019ll tell you everything,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n
\u201cComing right up!\u201d she exclaimed, running to the kitchen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no twin brother, is there?\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, there isn\u2019t,\u201d he said, looking down.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy lie? Why lie about everything?\u201d I asked, wanting to throw my cup of tea at him.<\/p>\n
After a moment of silence, he finally looked at me, his eyes pleading.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted to be someone you could be proud of. I knew about your family\u2019s wealth and connections, and I thought\u2026 I thought if I seemed successful, you\u2019d actually want a chance with me. That you\u2019d never see me as just a mechanic.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t just a harmless lie. No, this was a fundamental betrayal of trust.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2019t do this,\u201d I said, my voice barely above a whisper. \u201cI can\u2019t marry someone who built our relationship on lies.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alex reached out to touch my hand, but I pulled away.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease, give me a chance to make it right,\u201d he pleaded.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think you should return your mother\u2019s ring to her,\u201d I said sadly.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Lu,\u201d Mia said when I told her the whole story. \u201cI\u2019m really sorry that you had to go through this.\u201d<\/p>\n
I smiled at her with tears in my eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, at least you know exactly how it feels,\u201d I said. \u201cSo that makes me feel better.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mia laughed and hugged me.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, it has to get better than these deceitful men. We\u2019ll find the good ones soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded and sat back against the couch.<\/p>\n
What would you have done?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
