I was the best man at my baby sister’s wedding, and her groom, Lucas, had been my best friend since childhood. As we stood at the altar waiting for her to arrive, Lucas looked unusually pale—fidgeting, swallowing hard, barely able to stand still. I assumed it was nerves… until I glanced at his hand and froze.
Just then, my sister began walking down the aisle. My heart slammed in my chest as I realized what I was seeing. Without thinking, I blurted out, “WAIT! THIS WEDDING CAN’T GO ON!” The room went dead silent. Everyone stared at me in shock as I turned to Lucas and said, “Show them your hand.” And in that moment, the truth he’d been hiding was about to unravel everything.
