My Ex-Husband Invited Me to His Wedding, so I Hired an Actor as My Plus-One
Adam looked apologetic and resorted to the fake apology voice he used to use on me, “I am sorry. I just wanted her to see that we were happy.”
“Is that what was more important? Us getting married should be enough. Does she have to know you are happy? Are you not over her?” the bride spiraled as Adrian and I looked on. A few guests were also listening in.
“No, no, that’s not it,” Adam struggled to explain himself, “I love you, and you are enough. I just…”
“Just selfish and caring about you only as usual,” I chimed in, glad to see that Adam had not changed.
The bride turned his attention to us, “And what are you doing with my ex-fiancé?”
Adrian pulled me closer by the waist as I replied, “Oh, you mean my boyfriend. We also just wanted you two to see that we are happy.”
“This is crazy,” the bride murmured.
She directed her steaming anger towards Adam, “Look at the drama that you invited to our wedding. And for what? Just to satisfy your ego.”
As more guests gathered to listen to the drama, I realized I had accomplished what I came to do here. This was not even a celebration of love. It was just my ex-husband showcasing his selfish nature to a larger audience.
