My dad had an affair with my fiancée right before our wedding. I acted normal until we reached the altar. And when it came to «I do»… My action stunned everyone ….

The legal proceedings were handled efficiently by Rebecca Stone, who had prepared for this exact scenario. Since the marriage had never been legally completed, there were no divorce proceedings necessary between Megan and me.

However, there were financial matters to resolve.

I had paid for most of the wedding expenses, including the venue, catering, and honeymoon reservations. While I couldn’t recover all of the money, Rebecca was able to negotiate settlements that covered a significant portion of my losses.

More importantly, Rebecca helped me protect my assets and ensure that Megan had no legal claim to any of my property or savings.

The prenuptial agreement we had signed was ironclad, but since the marriage never occurred, it was essentially meaningless anyway. What mattered was that I was completely free to start over without any financial entanglements.

The aftermath wasn’t easy, but it was cleaner than I had expected.

I took two weeks off from work to process everything that had happened and to deal with the media attention. My company was incredibly supportive, with my boss David telling me that he admired how I had handled the situation.

You showed real character, he said.

Austin offered me a senior director position with a substantial salary increase and the chance to work on cutting-edge artificial intelligence projects…
