Tessa and Ryan decided to be married after two years of courtship. On one occasion, Ryan gave Tessa a sealed box and told her to open it only if he couldn’t make it to their wedding.
At first, Tessa hardly noticed the box and almost forgot it was there. But when everyone else had come on the wedding day, Ryan was nowhere to be found.
Tessa attempted to call him, thinking he was just being late, but he did not answer. As the minutes passed, anxiety grew and uncertainty began to seep in. It was then that she remembered the box. She rushed home to quickly open it.
She was really taken aback by what she found within… 
When Tessa opened the package, she found multiple photos, a birth certificate, and a letter.
She learned that Ryan was already married and had a child.
He said that he could no longer live a double life and that he still loved his wife.
His feelings for Tessa were different.
Tessa took a deep breath and told the guests that the wedding would have to be canceled despite being shocked by this realization.
In front of her guests, she declared the cancelation of the wedding.
She didn’t have to say anything to convey the anguish in her eyes.
Despite her wounded heart, Tessa stood there with a silent strength in her eyes, ready to move past the grief and start over.
She vowed never to let others to dictate her dreams again and decided to live for herself going ahead.
