Rebecca finally let out a big sigh of relief. She could breathe again at last. The truth was now out in the open. They had mocked her, called her crazy. Everyone, including her closest friends and family, had spoken about her behind her back. But now they knew the truth. The shock and surprise on their faces was the best revenge she could have hoped for.
As she held Dean’s hands, their eyes met in a silent conversation. He had known all along why she was marrying him and had stood by her side through everything. But he was the only one. Everyone else had gradually turned their backs on her.
They snickered behind her back, questioning what she saw in him. To them, he was just a homeless man living on the streets. Meanwhile, she was young, beautiful, and always the life of the party. Moreover, he was almost 20 years older! They had labeled it disgusting and ridiculous, but now, when they found out why they were together, they fell silent. No one had seen this coming…
Since she was young, Rebecca had a soft spot for the homeless and poor. Even as a student, she tried to help those less fortunate, sharing her lunches and lending a listening ear. Her kindness wasn’t just a passing phase; it grew with her. What she didn’t expect was how her small acts of generosity would lead to something much bigger.
When Rebecca first met Dean, it was the first day of summer break. After a grueling semester, Rebecca and her friend Nikki were soaking up the final afternoon together, ready to take a well-deserved break. They meandered through the town’s streets, eager to leave thoughts of school behind. However, what she didn’t expect was that in the next few weeks, something else would be on her mind.
Rebecca was a beautiful girl who had always been one of the popular types at school. She was always surrounded by a wide circle of friends, her laughter and beauty drawing people in. Despite this, Rebecca’s love life was a roller coaster of fleeting relationships. Boys lined up, eager for a chance to be with one of the most stunning girls around.
But this kind of attention didn’t make her happy. She often went out with athletes who liked to show her off, saying things like, “Look at my beautiful girlfriend,” and “Isn’t she gorgeous?” They took her to parties where everyone looked at them. It felt nice to be noticed, but in the back of her head she knew these relationships weren’t meaningful.
