Just After My Boyfriend Proposed, My Best Friend Called in the Middle of the Night and Whispered, ‘Don’t Trust Him’
When Jake got down on one knee and proposed, my heart swelled with joy. I had been dreaming of this moment for so long, and as I slipped the sparkling ring onto my finger, everything felt perfect. We celebrated with dinner, laughter, and a toast to our future. But later that night, as I lay in bed replaying the magical moment, my phone buzzed. It was my best friend, Lisa, calling at an odd hour. I hesitated before answering, but the urgency in her whisper sent chills down my spine—”Don’t trust him.”
My heart pounded as I asked Lisa what she meant, but she wouldn’t say much over the phone. “Meet me tomorrow. It’s important,” she insisted before hanging up. Sleep evaded me as doubt crept into my mind. Jake had always been loving and supportive—why would Lisa say something like this? I needed answers, but part of me didn’t want to hear anything that could shatter my happiness. Still, I knew Lisa wouldn’t call without a reason.
The next day, I met Lisa at our favorite café, anxiety twisting in my stomach. She looked serious, her usual warmth replaced with concern. Taking a deep breath, she revealed shocking news—Jake had a past he never mentioned. He had been engaged before, and his fiancée had mysteriously vanished. The case remained unsolved, but there were whispers, suspicions that never led to anything concrete. My hands trembled as I processed her words. Could the man I loved be hiding something so dark? As I left the café, my mind swirled with emotions—fear, disbelief, and a deep sadness. I wanted to confront Jake, to demand the truth, but what if Lisa was right? What if I had just agreed to marry someone with a terrible secret? The fairytale proposal that had once filled me with joy now felt like the beginning of a nightmare.
