Priest Asks Bride to Step Aside as Groom Proposes to Her Sister—Her Reaction Stuns Everyone
Finally, Phoebe reached for her own phone.
“If they won’t pick up, maybe they’re stupid enough to post something.
People like Stephanie can’t resist an audience.”
Clara leaned closer, her stomach twisting as Phoebe typed.
Within seconds, her friend’s eyes went wide.
“Oh my God…”
She turned the screen toward Clara.
There it was—Stephanie’s profile, glowing with fresh updates.
Photos from the wedding venue, bright and polished, as if nothing had gone wrong.
Stephanie in her gown.
Liam at her side.
Captions filled with hearts and glittering emojis.
Clara’s hand flew to her mouth, a sob tearing loose.
“No…” she whispered.
Phoebe scrolled lower, her face paling.
“She’s already calling it her wedding day. Look.”
Another photo showed Liam’s arm wrapped around Stephanie’s waist, his smile faint but unmistakable.
The caption read:
Dreams really do come true.
Her mother gasped, covering her mouth in shock.
“How could she—after everything?”
Her father’s fists clenched, his voice low and tight.
“This isn’t just betrayal. This is spectacle. She wants everyone to see it.”
Clara shook her head, trembling.
Every image felt like a blade twisting deeper, every word a taunt.
“She’s rubbing it in my face,” she whispered.
“They both are.”
Phoebe put the phone down sharply, her own voice trembling with anger.
“Then we have to find out why, Clara. Because this doesn’t add up.
Not the way he looked, not the way he acted.”
“Something’s wrong here.”
Clara wiped her tears with the back of her hand, her breathing ragged.
“I can’t live with this,” she said suddenly, her voice cutting through the silence.
“I can’t just sit here while they pretend this is normal. I need answers.”
Phoebe leaned forward, her eyes fierce.
“Then we’ll find them. Together.”
