The Revenge That Backfired

Marie was completely speechless, suddenly feeling as if there wasn't enough air in the room.

A year earlier, consumed by rage after discovering her boyfriend's betrayal, she had turned to magic for revenge. Her punishment had been simple and cruel: transform him into the most breathtaking woman imaginable.

When Marie sent him an invitation to her own wedding, she expected nothing more than humiliation. She wanted him to see what he had lost and be forced to watch her marry someone else.

She hadn't expected this.

He arrived at the reception looking like he had stepped straight out of a dream, wearing a stunning red dress that seemed designed to command attention. Every head in the room turned as he walked through the doors, his new silhouette impossible to ignore.

And then came the smile.

There was something unmistakably familiar about that confident, almost mocking expression. He slowly raised one hand, deliberately displaying a sparkling diamond ring as if he wanted to make sure Marie noticed it.

She did.

But the biggest shock was still waiting for her.

Her brother suddenly approached, slipped an arm around the transformed woman's slender waist, and pulled her closer with an unmistakably affectionate smile.

Marie froze.

The pieces finally fell into place.

The mysterious woman her brother had been secretly dating for months... the one he had refused to introduce to the family... the one he had apparently been planning to marry...

It was Mike.

Or at least, whoever Mike had become.

Marie could barely process what she was seeing as he crossed his legs through the dramatic slit of the red dress and calmly met her eyes.

That familiar, wicked smile returned.

He leaned closer and whispered:

“Thanks for the invitation, sister-in-law. Save the date for my wedding. After all... from now on, everything stays in the family.”

Marie stared at him in horror.

Her revenge hadn't just failed.

She had accidentally turned her ex-boyfriend into her future sister-in-law.
