"So you want me to lie to your parents and take the blame for calling off the wedding?""This will destroy my relationship with my family!" she snapped."You destroyed your relationship with me. Actions have consequences."She hung up on me.An hour later, I got a text:You are going to regret this. I was trying to be nice, but if you want to play hardball, I can play hardball, too.That is when I knew I had made the right choice. The mask was finally coming off.I spent the rest of the day organizing all the evidence: screenshots of their conversations, photos, and even some calendar entries where she had scheduled "Phoenix sessions." I created a simple folder with everything organized by date.That evening, I composed an email to Bill and Carol Henderson. The subject line was: Wedding Update – Please Call Me. The message was short:Bill and Carol,I need to inform you that the wedding this Saturday is canceled. I have discovered that Lauren has been having an affair with her life coach for the past two months. I have substantial evidence of this relationship, which I am including with this email.I am sorry this happened so close to the wedding date. I understand this will result in significant financial losses, and I am truly sorry about that. Please let me know how you would like to handle informing the guests.—DylanI attached the folder with all the screenshots and hit send. Then I turned off my phone and went for a long walk.When I came back two hours later, my phone was completely insane: 63 missed calls. 47 were from Bill Henderson; the rest were split between Carol and Lauren. There were also 17 text messages from Lauren, starting with "What did you do?" and ending with "You destroyed my life, you psychopath."I ignored all of it and went to bed.The next morning, Bill called me at 7:00 a.m. I answered on the first ring."Dylan." His voice was ice-cold. "We need to talk.""Good morning, Bill.""Do you have any idea what you sent me means? Any idea at all?""It means your daughter cheated on me and I am not marrying her.""It means I am out $180,000!" he snapped. "The venue, the catering, the flowers, the band, the photographer—none of it is refundable at this point!""I understand that is frustrating. You should probably discuss that with Lauren.""Do not you dare put this on her! She made a mistake. People make mistakes."That actually made me smile. Funny how the apple does not fall far from the tree."This was not a mistake, Bill. This was an ongoing affair that she planned to continue after the wedding.""According to some text messages that could mean anything!""Did you look at the photos she sent him?"There was a long pause. "That is not the point."
