Often, people take the phrase “in sickness and in health” for granted. When Stacey realized this was the case, she made a decision that would change her life for the better while also teaching someone a valuable lesson.
Christopher met Stacey just after graduating college, and the two hit it off. They shared an interest in gaming and spent much of their free time together. Stacey, a fun-loving Southern beauty, had a secret. She came from a wealthy family, and her father owned a chain of jewelry stores.
Due to her casual, tomboy style, Stacey could keep this from people as she didn’t want to be treated differently. “Trust me, once they have a slice, they’ll go for the whole pie,” her father, Darren, would tell her. For six months, she didn’t mention her background to Chris.
One day, Chris surprised Stacey by proposing to her by a lake, using his late grandmother’s ring. Stacey accepted, but after talking to her dad, she wanted to ensure that Chris’ heart was in the right place.
“Do you think he found out?” she asked her father.
Darren suggested that Stacey test him to find out if he was genuine.

“Chris, I’ve been in a terrible car accident. I’ve been in the hospital for two days and can’t feel my legs. The doctors say that I’ve been paralyzed from the waist down,” Stacey said to Chris. She was lying to him and was completely fine.
There was a few seconds of awkward silence before Chris replied, “Oh my goodness. I’m so sorry, babe. Once I’m back in town, I’ll come and see you right away.” There was a coldness about Chris’ response that made Stacey worry. After the call, she decided to give him the benefit of the doubt until he returned.
Perhaps he was just in shock and didn’t know how to react. But in the days that followed, Chris broke his promise. He didn’t return her text messages or check in on her. Stacey realized this was very strange for someone who was under the belief that their fiancée was paralyzed.

Even when she tried to call his phone, Chris wouldn’t pick up. Days turned to weeks without a word from Chris. I’ll confront him when he’s back and get the truth, Stacey thought. But when Chris was due to...
