After my boyfriend Michael Foster and I agreed on the amount of the betrothal gift for the ninth time, his childhood friend Emily Carter came to him again, asking for a loan. Not a penny more, not a penny less, exactly 33,000 dollars. She'd borrowed it nine times, and our wedding had been postponed nine times. But this time, I didn't back down. I stared him down and asked, "Are you going to marry me or not?" Michael was quiet for a long time, but finally, he asked for the money back. So I forgave him again. But the night before our wedding, Emily posted something on her social media. [I'm obsessed with my 33,000-dollar diamond ring! My childhood friend spoils me the most!] I froze, then pulled out the money Michael had brought back and checked it carefully. The next second, the counterfeit bills slipped from my hand and hit the floor. I knew it. Our relationship was over for good.
