At the picturesque outdoor wedding ceremony, guests eagerly awaited the beautiful moment when Mary walked down the aisle and locked eyes with her husband-to-be, Mason. The perfect day was set against a backdrop of vibrant fall colors as loved ones came together to celebrate love and connection. However, just as the ceremony reached its emotional climax, an unexpected interruption turned the event into a scene of confusion and drama.
A disheveled woman, visibly distressed and pregnant, burst into the scene with a startling announcement. She claimed that Mason, the groom, is the father of her unborn child. The shocking claim immediately brought proceedings to a halt and clouded what should have been a joyous event. Mary, the bride, was left shocked by the revelation and her dream day turned into a nightmare right before her eyes.
A pregnant woman breaks off her wedding and introduces herself as the father of her unborn child. She collapses in labor pains at the groom’s feet and chaos ensues.
Guests eagerly awaited Mary’s walk down the aisle and the moment her eyes met her son Ryan’s at the outdoor wedding on that beautiful October day. However, the ceremony was interrupted by a loud voice before she even reached Mason, her groom.
“I object to this wedding!” As she rushed inside, a scruffy woman screamed, declaring Mason to be the father of her child.

Mary’s world began to spin as her eyes widened in horror. “What? What’s going on, Mason?”
“Mary, I don’t know her. I have no idea what she’s talking about.” Mason cried.
However, when Cindy uncovered Mason’s text messages, confusion, and hushed conversation broke out among the guests as Mary, heartbroken, read the messages.
I have no idea how to call off the wedding, honey. I don’t think we’d make a good match with her – not only is she seven years older – I want you back darling. I admire you and I honestly miss you.
Cindy broke down in tears as she revealed that she and Mason dated for two years until Mason broke up with her when she became pregnant.

Ryan rushed to Mary when she started crying. “I knew it, Mom. As far as I knew, Mason wasn’t right for you. Even though I warned you, you never paid attention.”
“No, Ryan! There’s been some miscommunication, Mary. I’m going to call the police to sort it out with her.”
Mason was about to call the police when Cindy, who was standing next to him, gave birth right at his feet. After a male visitor rushed her to the hospital, the wedding was called off.
As Mary left with her son and mother, Mason went to explain, but Mary did not hear him.
Over the next few days, Mary felt an intense sadness and a special sense of duty to care for Cindy, as she seemed to have no one else.
Mary made sure Cindy had a roof over her head shortly after she was released from the hospital with a small newborn son.
Interestingly, Ryan had a better suggestion. “I know who should be responsible for taking care of them!”
Mary and Ryan drove to the Mason mansion determinedly.
Mason smirked as Ryan moved Cindy’s suitcase into the living room and looked at him. Mason was amazed. “Take care of what’s yours. And please stay out of my mother’s life.” He barked furiously.

Mason tried to defend himself again. He tried to inform Mary that he had no idea who this “Cindy” woman was. However, his appeals were ignored.
“It’s over, Mason!” Mary began to cry. “I’m sorry we met. Don’t ever associate with me again, I hate you.”
Mason couldn’t figure out why this was happening. He contacted his friend Simon, who he felt was misunderstood and lonely, and they met in a bar while Cindy clumsily searched for a room to move into with her baby.
“I really don’t know who he is or what he wants. He refuses to talk.
God knows why, but she completely ruined my life and my marriage.”
Yes. It seems that someone really despises you.
Someone who is aware that you have…other businesses and won’t report it to the police. Simon took a drink and turned to Mason and said, “Maybe you should check her phone or something.” “There must be clues.
Mason paused to think, then nodded. So in the evening, he sneaked into Cindy’s bedroom to check her phone after she fell asleep.

However, Cindy suddenly jumped up and caught him in the act. “You could have asked me if you wanted to check my phone, Mason. He was even more confused when she handed him the access code.
Mason ran out of her room and decided to talk to Mary one more time.
He approached Mary in the parking lot of her workplace and pleaded, “Mary, please give me a chance to explain.”
But Mary was furious. She pulled out pictures of her cuddling Cindy’s baby.
“According to the caption of your post, you are enjoying a new development in your life! Get out of here!”
Mason was taken aback. He did not upload these images. Mary took off in her car as soon as he pulled out his phone and got on social media.
For illustrative purposes only
When Mason looked at the pictures, he lost them.
He ran home to face Cindy. “Yesterday you invited me to hold your baby and took a discreet picture? How on earth did you get into my social media account? Did you manage to hack it?”
“Mason, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Stop yelling at me. It wasn’t me.”
Mason grabbed her arm in frustration.
Mason, give up! You are hurting me! Please let me go!”
“After you ruined my wedding, this?
“Who sent you?”

At that moment the baby started to cry. Cindy pushed Mason aside without reply and hurried to her room.
Mason ran into Simon again later that evening.
“Man, I’m getting sick of her and her whining baby all the time. If only I could kick them out of my home. What do you know? I’m going to call the police.”
Simon remarked, “Mate, you’re not thinking clearly.” “Instead of kicking her out of your house or reporting her to the police, why don’t you play with her… and find out what she really wants from you?”
That’s what Mason did. Ever since he got home, he pretended to be polite to Cindy. “Hey honey, I’m back!” Look what I have for you.

She was shocked when Mason gave her a bunch of red roses.
“Do you find them appealing? I’m hungry, will you join me for a meal? I bought us a pizza.”
Cindy was shaken by Mason’s sudden change of attitude. But she ate in silence and did not dare to ask him anything.
Mason struck up a conversation with Cindy after dinner.
Mason kissed her shoulder and said, “You smell beautiful, baby.” “What if we let the baby sleep and in our bed we-“

“No, I can’t. Really, I’m tired. Push him away,” Cindy said, running to her room.
Mason didn’t give her a moment alone the next day. He even went to the grocery store with her to make sure she didn’t run away. He was aware that their intimacy made her uneasy and that she might run away.
Mason played sick the next day so he could spend time with her. He took her to a bridal boutique as a surprise.
“Let’s get married!” Mason suggested. “I want to start over with you and our baby!”
Cindy looked shocked. “No…” was her quick reply before pulling herself together. “I mean, I need some time to think. This is so rushed!”

Mason exclaimed, “Of course!” with pleasure. You have to think today. Baby, don’t even think about giving up because — surprise! The wedding is in two days.
Honey, I already have it all planned out. However, I want my bride to choose her ideal wedding dress first.’
*** After they got home from their supposed wedding shopping spree, Mason overheard Cindy’s phone call while she was in her bed.
When Mason and Cindy went shopping, Simon bugged Cindy’s room. Everything was prearranged by Mason and Simon.
Mason approached Cindy after learning of her escape strategy.
“Open the door, Cindy. I heard it all,” Mason insisted.

Cindy realized she had to stop lying. She let herself in and revealed everything.
She described how they had struggled financially after her husband Josh lost his job.
It happened a few weeks ago. Cindy began, “My husband and I were at preschool with our oldest child, Phoebe.
After Josh was released, Josh and Cindy were worried about their financial situation and how they would care for their children. Their debt was mounting. They were about to move out because they hadn’t paid the rent in months.
That’s when Josh got an idea.
Pretending that their daughter Phoebe required surgery, he decided to hold a fictitious fundraiser to ease their financial woes.

“Honey, remember that couple who were raising money for their son’s surgery?” Josh posed.
“Yeah, what about them?”
“Why don’t we do the same for Phoebe’s ‘surgery’?” Josh commented with a sly look.
Cindy hesitated. “We can’t deny that Phoebe needs surgery. It’s dangerous. And wrong!”
“I promise you, this is our opportunity to make a profit.
Josh convinced her to “use depressing photos of Phoebe and fictitious medical records”.
“Let’s do this for Phoebe…and for her soon-to-be-born sibling,” Josh pleaded, holding Phoebe’s stomach tenderly.
Cindy reluctantly said, “Let’s try.”
For illustrative purposes only
As soon as they started the fictitious campaign, the donations started pouring in. Although they lived a lavish lifestyle and paid off all their debts, Cindy worried that they would keep the scam going.
“How long are we going to pretend Phoebe is sick?”
One day Cindy asked Josh.
Josh comforted her, “Just a few more weeks, then we’ll post a ‘thank you’ video and move on.”
However, everything goes awry when a customer at a luxury shoe store notices and identifies Cindy and Phoebe from the shopping expedition campaign.

“Are you in Cindy?” “How’s your daughter?” The woman asked, looking at Phoebe.
Cindy lied and said, “She’s still healing.”
When the woman saw Cindy’s expensive purchases, she became suspicious.
Cindy hurriedly said, “This is for a friend,” and returned the shoes.
The woman said, “I hope your daughter gets well soon,” but she was clearly suspicious.
“I’m grateful. As the woman turned to leave, Cindy said, ‘Please consider donating.’
But when Cindy was spotted at the mall, she freaked out and rushed to inform Josh in the men’s room that their plan might be exposed.

“People are recognizing me. We could be in serious trouble,” Cindy warned Josh.
Josh comforted her by saying, “Be quiet and no one will know.” He shouted from behind the cubicle, “And what are you doing here?” “This is the men’s room! Leave immediately!”
Little did they know that someone was recording and listening to the entire exchange from the booth next to them. Ryan was the one. He also had a strategy.
“Everything I heard was heard! Get out of the stall and do as I say or I’ll call the cops,” he said.
This is the reason for Cindy’s actions. She told Mason how Ryan used blackmail to force them to crash the wedding to remove Mason from Mary’s life. “He didn’t want you around,” Cindy revealed.
For illustrative purposes only
After being taken aback, Mason agreed to follow Ryan’s plan. He had a pretty clever idea to fix everything.
Mary was worried about Mason’s impending wedding a week later. Ryan announced on social media that he and Cindy were getting married.
Ryan claimed to comfort Mary and was secretly relieved.
Ryan was surprised when his mother and grandmother decided to attend Mason’s wedding on the wedding day.
“Mom, why are we going to that moron’s wedding?” Ryan argued.
“Cindy’s behind that reason. We just put our faces forward and offer something. Mary said, ‘And you walk the bride down the aisle.’
For illustrative purposes only
Despite his reluctance, Ryan followed his family. He tried to call Cindy while they were on the road, but she didn’t answer. Since all he asked her to do was to separate Mary and Mason, he asked why she married Mason.
The family was at the church gates when Mary received the unexpected call. “Okay, I’ll be there in ten minutes…”
Ryan was supposed to go to his grandmother’s wedding because Mary had to leave for a meeting.
“Good deeds, Ryan. Mary gave the order, ‘Don’t make a scene with Mason or he’ll be made fun of,'” and left.
Finally, Ryan walked the newlyweds down the aisle. “What prevented you from fleeing with your child? How is your husband?” Ryan spoke softly to Cindy.

However, he did not get any answer to his questions and angrily escorted the bride to the altar.
“Thanks, Ryan!” Mason grabbed his wife’s hand with a smile.
Ryan grinned and felt his phone beep as he approached Grandma in the front row. Grandma, I have to take it. “I’ll be back in a minute,” he mumbled and ran out the door.
The bride and groom had already exchanged rings and wedding vows when Ryan returned moments later. Now it’s time for the nuptial kiss. Ryan was thrilled as Mason leaned over and lowered the veil.
“MOM??” Realizing he had been tricked, Ryan exclaimed. He was so angry that he considered running, but Mason’s voice over the microphone silenced his thoughts.

“You’re more than just my stepson, Ryan. You’re my son in every sense of the word.”
If I did not live up to your expectations as your father, I sincerely apologize. However, I swear I’ll try… We had no choice but to plan it with Mary.’
Mason approached Ryan, expressed his forgiveness, and offered him an envelope containing a $400,000 cash deposit. Ryan couldn’t hold back the tears.
“This is for your college… to give you every chance to pursue your goals and be successful in life. Champ, I’m here to support you every step of the way because I believe in you.”
Ryan stopped talking. He gently took Mason’s hand and pulled him into a tight hug.
