Tonight should have been full of celebration. I pictured our families gathered around candlelit tables, toasting us ready for our big day. But as I look out at the crystal-clear waters of Sorrento, I know my dream wedding has turned into a nightmare.

Everyone said our love story was a whirlwind, that I was too quick to say yes. My mother questions why Tom has controlled so much of the day, why he needed everything to be a surprise. But I trusted him. Until tonight.

Clutching my engagement ring, tears streaming down my face, I think back to the single woman at the side of the pool and her strange fascination with Tom’s daughter, Lily. The expression on Tom’s face seeing her for the first time. The secret he has just revealed which I’m unsure we can survive.

With hours until the wedding, I have to make a choice. Tom’s lie could destroy us both. But he’s not the only one keeping a past lie hidden for the sake of happily-ever-after. By the end of the night with both our secrets laid bare, can we still say ‘I do’?
