After catching my fiancé cheating with my best friend just weeks before our wedding, I felt humiliated and broken. In a moment of anger and desperation, I swore I would never let myself be that vulnerable again. That same night, after dinner alone, I called a taxi and ended up sharing my heartbreak with the driver, Adam. What started as small talk quickly turned into something more daring when I joked about marrying someone unexpected just to shock my ex—and Adam didn’t laugh it off.
The next day, Adam called and asked if I was serious. Still reeling from betrayal, I decided to go through with it. We had a quick civil ceremony, my friends as witnesses, and I even wore the wedding dress meant for my ex. I posted a single photo online, which sent my ex into a jealous frenzy. What I thought would be a short-lived act of revenge surprisingly felt freeing, and Adam’s calm presence made me feel more at ease than I had in years.
But the real shock came the morning after, when Adam showed up at my door with coffee and an old photo. In it, he stood beside one of the country’s most powerful businessmen—his father. Adam revealed that driving a taxi was his way of escaping the pressure of his wealthy family and staying grounded. He wasn’t just a random cab driver—he was an heir who had been searching for someone who cared for him as a person, not his status.
What began as a reckless stunt grew into something real. Adam and I built a life together, sharing laughs, quiet dinners, and eventually welcoming a daughter who brought even more joy into our world. Looking back, marrying him to spite my ex may have started as revenge, but it turned out to be the best decision I ever made.
