With each revelation, Laura’s resolve hardened. She wasn’t going to be the pitiful widow living under a shroud of lies. Instead, she would confront Daniel on her terms, exposing his deceit. Her mind worked over the possibilities, and soon, a plan began to take shape—a plan to turn Daniel’s deception into a trap of his own making.

Laura reached out to Daniel’s closest friends, organizing a memorial service to celebrate his life. It was an audacious move, but one she believed was necessary. Everyone, including Daniel, needed to see just how far she was willing to go to call him out. Invitations were sent, a venue was booked, and Laura stood resolute in her decision. She kept the details vague enough to intrigue, knowing that Daniel’s curiosity—or arrogance—would likely get the better of him.
