Everly’s wedding night turned out to be the beginning of a wild, unexpected journey.
She thought it would be a quiet, romantic night, but her husband, Scott, had a surprise in store. That night, when she drifted off to sleep, exhausted from the day’s events, she had no idea her life was about to change.
In the middle of the night, Everly woke up to find Scott sitting beside her with a baby in his arms. Confused and shocked, she listened as Scott introduced the infant as Ella, his orphaned niece.
He explained that his estranged stepsister, Maya, had recently passed away, leaving Ella behind. Scott confessed he had found out about Ella only a few weeks before but had kept it a secret, fearing Everly might leave him if she knew.
As Scott explained, Everly felt a mix of betrayal and concern. She couldn’t believe her husband had kept such a significant secret from her, especially on their wedding day. She confronted him, asking what his plan was for Ella.
Scott admitted he didn’t have a long-term plan; he just knew he needed to care for her. This revelation left Everly feeling uncertain about their new life together. How could they start a marriage with secrets between them?
Over the next few days, Everly tried to adjust to life with Scott and Ella in his large, elegant home. Yet, doubts and questions about Scott’s past lingered. She began to wonder about Maya’s story and why Scott had never mentioned her before. She couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to Scott’s past than he was revealing.
One day, while walking on the beach with Ella, Everly met a mysterious woman who seemed to know a lot about Scott. The woman’s disdainful tone and piercing gaze hinted at hidden truths about him. She asked Everly if Ella was Scott’s daughter, sparking even more questions. After this encounter, Everly confronted Scott again, and he finally admitted the truth: Ella wasn’t his niece; she was his daughter.
This shocking news shattered Everly’s trust. She packed her belongings and left Scott’s mansion. But as she left, she found herself drawn back by Scott’s deep love for Ella. Despite the lies, she couldn’t ignore the connection Scott had with his daughter. She returned, hoping they could rebuild their trust.
Just as they began to settle into a fragile peace, Everly received an anonymous letter. It hinted that Maya might not be the only secret Scott was hiding. Determined to find answers, Everly followed the letter’s instructions and met a woman at a café who claimed to be Scott’s ex-wife. She revealed that Scott was dangerous, and that Maya had died trying to expose his secrets. Everly was warned to be cautious and to keep her discoveries hidden from Scott.
Days later, Everly discovered she was pregnant. Haunted by the ex-wife’s warning that Scott only wanted a male heir for some sinister purpose, she made the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy. Scott’s anger when he found out was terrifying, and just as he was about to lash out, the police arrived with the ex-wife, Amanda, by their side.
But in an unexpected twist, the entire story turned out to be a scene from a film. Everly and Scott were actors, filming a short movie together that had been inspired by a humorous moment on their actual wedding night.
