78-year-old Iris thought she was witnessing a joyous milestone as her 50-year-old daughter, Eliza, was set to marry the love of her life, Daniel. However, when she saw Daniel and bridesmaid Melissa slipping into a bathroom together, what she witnessed there drove her to rush to her daughter with a heart-shattering revelation.
Iris had planned to give Daniel her late husband’s diamond cufflinks, but she found herself chasing after him. To her surprise, she saw him whispering to Melissa, and curiosity got the best of her. Following them discreetly, Iris witnessed the unthinkable: Daniel and Melissa were in a compromising position in the bathroom.
“I can’t wait anymore, babe,” Daniel tugged at Melissa’s waist.
“Not now, darling. If someone finds out, our plans will be ruined,” Melissa replied.
Overwhelmed with shock and heartbreak, Iris realized Daniel and Melissa were plotting against her daughter. She knew she had to act fast.
When Iris finally reached Eliza to warn her, the MC announced a special performance by the bride. Eliza sang a heartfelt love song to Daniel, oblivious to his betrayal. The crowd applauded, and Daniel embraced her, deepening Iris’s despair.
Iris tried to talk to Eliza, but the moment passed too quickly. She watched helplessly as the wedding continued, knowing that revealing the truth at that moment would break her daughter’s heart. Determined, she devised a plan to expose Daniel.
On the Monday after the wedding, Iris feigned illness to lure Eliza back home, where she knew Daniel and Melissa would meet. Her suspicions were confirmed when she saw Melissa’s car in the driveway. Iris called Eliza, urging her to return home urgently.

“Daniel and Melissa? He’s always been sweet and nice to me…how did I not have a clue about this affair?” Eliza questioned.
Daniel cleverly manipulated the situation, showing Eliza keys to a new home he claimed was a surprise. Eliza, swayed by his explanation, struggled to reconcile her love for Daniel with her mother’s warnings.
Eliza’s refusal to see the truth forced Iris to take drastic measures. She contacted her lawyer to change her will, leaving everything to charity and freezing Eliza’s bank accounts. Eliza, feeling betrayed by her mother’s actions, severed ties with Iris, declaring she no longer had a daughter.
The following weeks were grueling for Iris as she underwent heart surgery. Her attempts to reach out to Eliza went unanswered, deepening her heartbreak. However, Iris’s persistence eventually paid off when Eliza arrived at her doorstep, broken and tearful.
“I’m sorry, Mom…I should’ve listened to you. You were right about him!” Eliza sobbed.
