When Xavier brought home his fiancée, Danielle, I was excited—until I saw her face. I recognized her instantly. A few months ago, my friend Margaret showed me a photo of a woman who scammed her son—took his money and vanished. And now she was standing in my living room.

I tried to stay calm, even served dinner. But my mind raced. I was sure it was her. I whispered my suspicions to my husband Nathan, then lured Danielle to the basement under the pretense of picking wine—and locked her inside.

Xavier was furious. “She’s not a scammer!” he insisted. But I called Margaret, got the photo, and showed it to them. The resemblance was uncanny. Then the police arrived… and I was proven wrong.

Danielle wasn’t the scammer. The real con artist was blonde and brown-eyed. Danielle? Natural black hair and blue eyes. Even the officers confirmed it.

Embarrassed, I apologized. Danielle laughed. “Well, at least I got the good wine,” she joked.

Eventually, I saw the truth—she loved Xavier deeply. She even made their wedding cake herself.
