Lisa decides to surprise her boyfriend, Max, only to find herself at the doorstep of his wife, Kate. The two women become allies to seek revenge on Max, but as their plan unfolds, Lisa finds herself stuck in yet another web of deception.

As the sun set over the city, Lisa, a 28-year-old lawyer, emerged from her office to find her fiancé, Max, waiting by his car with a bouquet. Though just three months old, their relationship was already deep, and they were set to tie the knot soon.

“These are for you,” Max smiled, handing Lisa the flowers.

“Thank you!

They’re beautiful,” Lisa responded, her eyes lighting up.

As they settled in his car, Max turned to Lisa, his eyes glinting with pride and affection. “Let me see the engagement ring again,” he said with a playful tone. “I want to see how well it suits you.”

As Lisa extended her hand, Max noticed an antique ring on one of her fingers.

“What’s this other ring?” he asked.

“It’s a family heirloom,” Lisa explained.

“Looks very expensive,” he said as they drove away.

Lisa nodded, a hint of pride in her voice. “Yes, it’s valuable but precious to me as a memory.”

Max then revealed his father was hospitalized and needed an expensive surgery.

He confessed his funds were tied up in a startup, leaving him unable to afford the surgery. He was a businessman and invested in innovative startups.

“How much do you need? Maybe I can help?” Lisa asked.

“Everything included…

$50,000.”

Lisa hesitated. “I… don’t have that kind of money.”

“Weren’t you saving up for a house?

I’ll repay you once I get the money from the startup.”

Lisa bit her lip, considering. “I’ll think about it. I’m sure we can find a solution to gather such a large amount.”

Max nodded, a grateful smile on his face.

“Alright, thank you.”

Suddenly, Max’s phone rang, and he answered. As he ended the call, he said it was his housekeeper informing him of a flood in his basement. He expressed regret to Lisa, “I’m sorry, but I have to go handle this.

I can’t attend dinner with your parents.”

Lisa felt a mix of understanding and disappointment. “I know it’s important, but I’m still sad about you missing the dinner. How about tomorrow?

We can reschedule.”

Max looked apologetic. “I’m truly sorry, Lisa. This was unexpected.

It will take longer, so I don’t think I’ll be able to make time tomorrow.”
