I Saved $100K for Our Wedding,He Gave It All to HerChapter 1
I found a massive transfer on my boyfriend's phone.
$98,000. Labeled "dowry."
The recipient wasn't me, the woman who'd been with him for eight years.
The dowry we'd scrimped and saved for over four years.
He'd sent it to someone else.
And I had no idea.
In the closet sat the birthday surprise I'd gotten him. A brand-new phone, the latest model.
——
Rain hammered against the window, each drop striking the glass like a fist against my chest.
I held Marvin Whitney's phone in my hands, my whole body trembling.
Eight years together, and I'd never once gone through his phone. If he hadn't left it at home, I never would have touched it.
I never expected that one look would turn me into the kind of woman who couldn't stop scrolling.
I went through every bank account linked to his phone.
It confirmed everything. The dowry he'd transferred included $38,000 of our shared savings.
Marvin and I had been together since freshman year of college. Eight years. We'd planned to get married right after graduation.
