Megan has always been the golden child, the perfect sister. She's got it all: the dream house, the handsome fiancé, the thriving career... And me? I've always been her shadow. But NOT this time. This time, I walked in on the arm of Zack. He wasn't exactly "Prince Charming," but he was reliable, responsible… and, more importantly, he worked for me.
My mom was thrilled with him, and Megan? Oh, she was fuming. For once, I had the upper hand, and it felt like a RARE TRIUMPH! The evening was going smoothly until I spotted Megan whispering to her fiancé in the corner. Curious, I moved closer, and what I heard stopped me in my tracks: "Mom said she'd leave her inheritance to the first one of us who GOT MARRIED!"
So, Mom's turning our lives into some kind of twisted race to the altar? Fine. If a wedding is what she wants, then I'm ready to give her just that. I handed Zack a ring, and the next day, the show began.
Zack announced our engagement in front of everyone, dropping to one knee. Mom clapped her hands with excitement, but then I caught Megan's smirk—that smug, triumphant look in her eyes!
Before I could fully process what was happening, Mom rushed over, practically glowing. "You know," she said, "I've been saving something VERY SPECIAL for this day..." and handed me a box. As soon as I opened it, the room filled with gasps.👇
