My son Ethan had always been cautious in love, so when he excitedly introduced Vanessa, I was hopeful. She charmed us all at our first dinner, showing genuine interest in my husband’s woodworking and fitting perfectly into our family. Within months, they were engaged, and we happily gave Vanessa $27,000 to plan the wedding herself.

Vanessa threw herself into the preparations, sharing plans and ideas with infectious enthusiasm. Ethan trusted her completely, relieved to let her handle every detail. But two days before the big day, Vanessa disappeared. Calls went unanswered, and the venue and vendors denied any bookings under her name. Panic set in.

When Ethan checked their joint wedding account, we discovered Vanessa had spent all the money on designer clothes, luxury cars, and expensive gadgets—not a single wedding expense. We rushed to her apartment, only to find it empty. The landlord said she’d moved out the day before.

Then came a call from Officer Collins. Vanessa, it turned out, was a con artist with a trail of broken engagements and stolen money across three states. She had been arrested trying to flee the country. Though devastated, we found some relief in the truth.

Months of investigations followed. Officer Collins treated Ethan with kindness, helping him heal. Slowly, Ethan began to smile again.

A year later, Ethan found love anew—with Collins herself. No games, no lies—just honesty and patience. Sometimes karma clears the way for what’s truly meant to be.
