My Fiancé Always Took My Side Against His Mother – Until He Forgot to Hang Up and I Realized It Was Their Plan All Along

I thought I was marrying my knight in shining armor—until one call changed everything. When Alex forgot to hang up, I overheard him and his mother laughing cruelly, plotting behind my back. Their plan? Devastating. But I’m not the fool they think I am.

For four years, Alex was everything I wanted—loving, protective, and always defending me from his difficult mother, Martha. She never hid her disdain, mocking my style and career. Yet, Alex reassured me, whispering, *“You’re the love of my life.”* I believed him.

Then, on an ordinary Tuesday, I made a simple request: *“Can you grab milk on your way home?”* He agreed warmly, claiming to be at his mom’s. I heard the call end—except it didn’t.

Through the still-connected line, Martha asked, *“Did she buy it?”*

Alex chuckled. *“Of course. She thinks I’m her knight in shining armor. It’s almost too easy.”*

I froze. My heart pounded.

Thanks to my freelance work, I had a call recording app. Without thinking, I hit record.

Then came the real gut punch.
