Everything was supposed to be perfect. After months of planning, Emily finally married the love of her life, Jake. The ceremony was beautiful, and the reception was filled with laughter and joy. But nothing could have prepared her for what happened on their wedding night.
As they entered their honeymoon suite, Emily was ready for a romantic evening. Instead, Jake excused himself and disappeared into the bathroom. Minutes turned into an hour. Concerned, she knocked on the door.
“Jake, are you okay?” she asked.
The door swung open, and there he stood—wearing sweatpants, eating a burger.
“Sorry, Em, I got so hungry. Also, the guys are downstairs at the hotel bar. I promised I’d meet them for a drink. You don’t mind, right?”
Emily stood frozen. Her husband had chosen a night out with his friends over their first night as a married couple.
It was in that moment she realized—was Jake truly the man she thought he was?
