Becca eagerly awaited her first wedding anniversary with Ben, planning to surprise him with the news of her pregnancy. She had chosen a sentimental restaurant—the same one where they had their wedding reception—to celebrate. She arrived early, excited to share her news, but Ben never showed up. Despite her attempts to reach him, he was unreachable.
Growing anxious, Becca went home, only to find the house empty and a cryptic note on the kitchen counter: “Your grandma made me do this. Bye forever, Becca.”

Confused and distressed, Becca raced to her grandmother’s house, desperate for answers. Her grandmother revealed that she had coerced Ben into leaving by threatening him with disinheritance. She believed that Ben wasn’t the right match for Becca and had always preferred Charlie, a man her grandmother had hoped Becca would marry.
Feeling betrayed and heartbroken, Becca returned home alone, realizing that her pregnancy and marriage were now overshadowed by this devastating turn of events. She spent the night wondering if Ben would ever return and how to move forward from this betrayal.
