Stop the wedding!” I yelled, bursting into the venue.
I shoved the papers into my mother’s hands. As she read them, her hands trembled. Then, she covered her face.
“Casey…” she whispered. “These debts… they’re because of you.”
Aaron stepped forward. “Your mom told me you’ve always dreamed of owning a restaurant. We were buying one for you with the wedding money.”
He sighed. “We had to finalize the purchase earlier than planned. I didn’t have enough funds, so I covered the difference. That’s why there’s debt.”
Shame flooded me. “Please forgive me,” I murmured. “And you too, Aaron. I was too harsh.”
Aaron’s voice remained steady. “Casey, take your seat so we can continue the ceremony.”
I hesitated, then slowly nodded. My legs felt weak as I walked toward the back. The weight of my mistake pressed down on me.
