While I Slept, His Family Business Collapsed

Synopsis

My husband's childhood friend was getting married, and he brought his first love along; they served as the best man and bridesmaid. On social media, everyone said they were "a perfect match in looks but sadly not meant to be." I stared at my phone for three minutes. Then I turned off the light. I went to sleep. When I woke up the next day, I had ninety-eight missed calls on my phone. The latest message read: [Honey, my parents found out. They're flying over. Please don't turn off your phone, okay?] Wait—I just went to sleep. How was the Sinclair family about to collapse?
