Claire thought she found her fairytale ending with Alex — until a simple phone call shattered everything. When Alex forgot to hang up, Claire overheard him and his mother plotting to steal her inherited lake house. “She thinks I’m her knight in shining armor. Honestly, it’s almost too easy,” Alex laughed.
Instead of confronting him immediately, Claire stayed silent and contacted a lawyer. She discovered that marrying Alex could make her inheritance vulnerable. When Alex later handed her a suspicious prenup, Claire smiled and agreed to sign on their wedding day — but had other plans.
During the ceremony, Claire stunned guests by playing the secretly recorded call. Gasps filled the air as Alex’s voice revealed their true intentions. Calmly, Claire exposed their fraud, dropped the prenup, and declared, “There’s not going to be a wedding.”
Claire left the venue free and empowered. Later, she sent Alex a framed photo of the lake house with a note: “You’ll never see it again.” Sometimes, the princess saves herself — and finds her own happily ever after.
