Chapter 5 - The Desperate Lies
Realizing that millions of dollars in real estate were slipping through her fingers, Tiffany’s aggressive demeanor dissolved into hysterical sobbing.
She threw herself onto her knees right on the stage, grabbing the hem of Daniel’s tuxedo pants with her manicured hands.
"Daniel! My love! Please listen to me!" Tiffany wept, her mascara running in dark streaks down her face. "I was stressed! The wedding planners pushed me too far! I didn't mean to touch your mother! It was a complete accident!"
Daniel stood frozen, looking down at the woman he had just exchanged vows with hours earlier.
For eighteen months, Daniel had made excuses for Tiffany’s toxic behavior, convincing himself that she was just ambitious and passionate. But seeing his gentle mother standing on stage with a red handprint across her cheek shattered his illusion completely.
"An accident, Tiffany?" Daniel asked, his voice shaking with deep betrayal and disgust. "You called my mother useless. You humiliated her in front of everyone, and then you raised your hand against her."
"I was nervous, Daniel!" Tiffany shrieked, looking toward her parents in the front row for help. "Mom, Dad, tell him! Tell him I'm a good person!"
