Determined to unmask their deceit and seek justice, Hazel embarks on a relentless quest to gather irrefutable evidence. But can this resolute mother unveil the truth and reclaim her daughter’s shattered dreams?
“I can’t believe this,” I muttered, staring at my laptop screen.
The kitchen around me in my Australian home felt colder as I looked at the photos of Jinny’s wedding.
I had always imagined her big day to be a grand affair, but what I saw broke my heart.
Jinny’s wedding was held in a shabby café with plastic tables, and she wore a tacky dress that didn’t suit her at all.
I buried my face in my palms, feeling a mix of anger and sadness. How could this happen?
I had saved up so much money to give Jinny a beautiful wedding. This was not what I had planned for her.
Suddenly, my phone buzzed on the table, and I picked it up, seeing a message from an old friend in the States.
I needed to talk to someone, so I called her.
“Hello, Hazel! How are you feeling?” she asked.
“I’m not great, Jane,” I replied. “I just saw the pictures from Jinny’s wedding, and it’s awful. They had it in a rundown café, and she wore this horrible dress. I gave them money for a beautiful wedding, Jane. What happened?”
