Kristi looked after a wealthy, affectionate business couple. The next day, she was shocked to see the same man engaged to her mother. Kristi felt she had to act but didn\u2019t know what she would unleash.<\/p>\n
Kristi, dressed in her flight attendant costume, gracefully strolled the aisle in business class.<\/p>\n
She stopped at a couple enjoying their privacy by the window. The woman\u2019s eyes lit up like the 4th of July when the man in a sharply tailored suit delivered a little velvet box.<\/p>\n
A delicate necklace caught his eye, its stones throwing prismatic colors across their chairs. Kristi paused her rounds as her eyes expanded.<\/p>\n
\u201cMay I, my gorgeous Isabella?\u201d he whispered, excited. She nodded, blushing, as she lifted her hair for him to clasp the necklace.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a lovely shade of lipstick,\u201d she replied, smiling at Kristi.<\/p>\n
Kristi stroked her lips, flustered. She stammered, \u201cThank you, it\u2019s my favorite,\u201d embarrassed by being discovered snooping.<\/p>\n
Man smiled at Kristi and gave her a large gratuity. He gratefully thanked them for making the flight special.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s my joy. Enjoy your journey together,\u201d Kristi said, her heart fluttering as she walked on, remembering the couple\u2019s delight.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Kristi vowed to see her mother on her one weekend day off. Once there, the older woman took her arm and introduced her to Edwin, her new fianc\u00e9.<\/p>\n
Except he was the aircraft passenger who gave a younger woman a magnificent diamond jewelry. Her sh..o.ck froze her, but she controlled her expression.<\/p>\n
Hi Kristi, nice to meet you. Edwin remarked calmly, offering his hand as if they had never met, \u201cYour mother has told me so much about you.\u201d<\/p>\n
She timidly said, \u201cNice to meet you too,\u201d for her mother.<\/p>\n
Edwin then took over the kitchen and cooked like a pro. \u201cIt\u2019s my way of showing care,\u201d he said, serving plates easily.<\/p>\n
Edwin told anecdotes from his trips while they ate, but when Kristi delved deeper, he simply responded vaguely.<\/p>\n
It made matters worse, but she didn\u2019t know what to tell her mother. Can she be wrong about him?<\/p>\n
Kristi took her mother outside after supper to clear her head.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
A fresh terrace air was just what she needed before asking harsh questions. \u201cWhat do you know about Edwin, Mom?\u201d Kristi inquired attentively.<\/p>\n
He\u2019s great. A diamond tycoon\u2019s millionaire son. He showed me such a glamorous life,\u201d her mother said, beaming. \u201cJust a few days until our wedding!\u201d<\/p>\n
Kristi insisted, \u201cMom, I know this is going to sound strange, but I swear I saw him on a recent flight with another woman, now suddenly he\u2019s with you and getting married.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her mother frowned. \u201cWhy lie? Aren\u2019t you glad for me? My Edwin adores me. You don\u2019t want me with another man after your father\u2019s death.\u201d<\/p>\n
Not that! Doesn\u2019t his rapid motion seem odd? Kristi argued.<\/p>\n
\u201cOdd? It\u2019s romantic. You\u2019re too young to comprehend. Mother shook her head. Edwin is about love.<\/p>\n
Kristi sighed. \u201cPlease consider, Mom. He may be crook. He resembles Casanova in his plane act.<\/p>\n
\u201cScammer? Kristi, that\u2019s crazy. Good dude Edwin!\u201d her mother defended.<\/p>\n
Kristi urgently tried to explain, \u201cI just don\u2019t want to see you lose everything to a man we barely know.\u201d<\/p>\n
Edwin arrived with beverages at that moment.\u201cLadies, let\u2019s celebrate,\u201d he remarked happily, and Kristi\u2019s mother excused herself.<\/p>\n
Kristi frowned at Edwin when they were alone and couldn\u2019t hold back.<\/p>\n
She asked, \u201cHow can you manipulate my mother\u2019s feelings?\u201d describing what he did on the plane.<\/p>\n
A smile fell from Edwin. I only want your mother\u2019s happiness, Kristi. No need for hostility.\u201d<\/p>\n
She mocked and drank over him. You think you\u2019re smart, but I see through you. She vowed not to let you damage my mother. You\u2019re fake!<\/p>\n
Edwin\u2019s orange slice was still leaking when her mother appeared, bulging her eyes. \u201cHow could Kristi? I apologize, Edwin.<\/p>\n
Edwin comforted her. It\u2019s OK. This shouldn\u2019t ruin our evening.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kristi frowned as her mother treated the scammer and understood she would never win that night. She knew she had to prove Edwin\u2019s true nature to save her mother.<\/p>\n
It would take time.<\/p>\n
She recalled a crucial event from the flight, where she saw Edwin and Isabella.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Kristi gathered her courage outside the airline office before entering. A friendly employee met her at the front desk. \u201cGood morning! How may I help today?<\/p>\n
\u201cI need my last flight\u2019s passenger list. \u201cIt\u2019s important,\u201d Kristi stammered.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s private. Why do you need it? The agent questioned, frowning.<\/p>\n
Kristi responded, \u201cA passenger left something valuable,\u201d trying to mask her uneasiness. Let me help return it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, I can\u2019t show you the list, but I can help if you give me more details,\u201d the agent told Kristi, escorting her to a private office.<\/p>\n
Kristi told passengers that Isabella misplaced her jewelry and was talking about it as they disembarked.<\/p>\n
The operator said the Lost & Found department received Isabella\u2019s missing item report and found the jewelry.<\/p>\n
Could I give it back to her? It may imply more from a flight passenger, Kristi wondered.<\/p>\n
Kristi received Isabella\u2019s jewelry and contact info after signing a release. She called the mysterious woman to meet in a hotel lobby the next day.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Kristi was immediately recognized by Isabella, the woman Edwin was friendly with on her last journey, in a gorgeous hotel coffee shop.<\/p>\n
Are you the flight attendant from my last trip? Surprised, Isabella asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was me. The world is small.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kristi immediately told her about Edwin, her concerns, and everything else. The dissatisfied girl frowned.<\/p>\n
\u201cI sensed trouble. For an emergency, Edwin requested a significant sum. Isabella leaning back and crossing her arms said, \u201cI trusted him, and I\u2019m supposed to meet him soon to give him it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kristi said that was their chance to expose him. We can build up a trap for him. We\u2019ll videotape everything. She wanted to disguise herself so he wouldn\u2019t recognize me.<\/p>\n
Isabella agreed, and they spent an hour planning their strategy, considering every aspect and Edwin\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n
Kristi left the coffee shop scared yet determined. They would save her mother together.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Twirling her wine glass, Isabella waited in a darkly lit fancy restaurant to meet Edwin and pay him the money he requested.<\/p>\n
Kristi, disguised as a waitress, observed Edwin confidently welcome Isabella from across the room.<\/p>\n
\u201cIsabella, my dear, sorry to keep you waiting,\u201d he sat.<\/p>\n
Isabella played along well when Kristi took their order and suggested red wine to celebrate.<\/p>\n
\u201cExcellent choice,\u201d Edwin said, watching Isabella. Walking hurriedly, Kristi delivered the wine, her heart thumping.<\/p>\n
Edwin responded, \u201cThat\u2019ll be all, thank you,\u201d gazing momentarily at Kristi. It wasn\u2019t enough to recognize her. He suddenly focused on his date.<\/p>\n
Isabella recommended giving him jewelry instead of money as they sipped wine as he had given her diamonds.<\/p>\n
Edwin showed her luxury clothes and Cartier and Rolex watches on his phone, intrigued.<\/p>\n
Once his phone was on the table, Kristi sensed her chance. When she feigned to replenish their wine glasses, she poured on Edwin\u2019s shirt.<\/p>\n
Damn it! Jumping in anger, he said, \u201cMy shirt!\u201d<\/p>\n
Edwin, it\u2019s an accident. Let\u2019s not fight,\u201d Isabella told him, nodding to Kristi.<\/p>\n
Kristi apologised profusely and ran off to get club soda and napkins.<\/p>\n
She ran to the restroom to check Edwin\u2019s unlocked phone after swapping it with a decoy during the hubbub.<\/p>\n
Kristi found Edwin\u2019s dating page and seductive messages like those he sent her mother after a few minutes.<\/p>\n
Not the definitive proof she wanted, but disturbing. As a last resort, Kristi typed a message to trap Edwin.<\/p>\n
She was startled by a knock. \u201cI know you have my phone! Come out!\u201d Edwin yelled outdoors.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m calling the police!\u201d he shouted.<\/p>\n
Kristi stood, phone in hand, pulse racing. She opened the stall door to a heated standoff with Edwin. Kristi dodged his phone grab.<\/p>\n
With her back against the cold restroom wall, she warned, \u201cStay back!\u201d<\/p>\n
Give me my phone or you\u2019ll regret it! Edwin cornered her, reaching out. Kristi shouted, praying for help and preparing for the worst.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Fluorescent lights glared at Kristi in a sterile police station.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re lucky Mr. Edwin hasn\u2019t pressed charges,\u201d a stern officer said, \u201cConsider this your only warning.\u201d<\/p>\n
Small-voiced Kristi nodded. \u201cI thought I was doing right.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGood intentions don\u2019t always lead to good actions,\u201d the cop said, leaving.<\/p>\n
She was disappointed when her mother rushed through the doors. \u201cKristi, this isn\u2019t the daughter I raised,\u201d she said, emotional.<\/p>\n
\u201cMom, I was trying to protect you from Edwin,\u201d Kristi said, looking down.<\/p>\n
Protect me by breaching the law? Her mother snapped. \u201cYou\u2019ve overstepped.\u201d<\/p>\n
A cop intervened. Mr. Edwin requested a restraining order. Any additional action will result in arrest.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kristi closed her eyes, but her mother didn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m done seeing you. Learn from this. Before leaving, the elderly woman bid goodbye to Kristi.<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Kristi sat at the lobby bar at the hotel where she met Isabella. Isabella slid behind her while drinking a hard drink.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was informed. I\u2019m sorry,\u201d she sighed, touching the bar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks,\u201d Kristi half-smiled. \u201cBut before everything went down, I changed Edwin\u2019s dating site password.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s brilliant,\u201d Isabella said, curious. \u201cWe can use that. We should warn other women.\u201d<\/p>\n
They chuckled as Kristi entered onto Edwin\u2019s dating profile and wrote multiple messages to alert his targets.<\/p>\n
Watch out for Edwin. He\u2019s not who he claims. Protect your heart and wallet, Kristi typed carefully.<\/p>\n
As they saw how far this man would go to defraud women, their laughter turned to stillness.<\/p>\n
Isabella gripped Kristi\u2019s hand and closed her laptop late at night.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd remember, tonight is just the beginning. Edwin has no idea what awaits him. The wedding will be unforgettable!\u201d<\/p>\n
***<\/p>\n
Edwin, dressed in a black tuxedo, prepared to marry Kristi\u2019s mother at the city chapel as the rising sun illuminated it.<\/p>\n
He had no idea that today was his last chance to pull off his Casanova scheme.<\/p>\n
As the ceremony began, Kristi watched from the trees, her pulse racing. A strange murmur erupted throughout the throng.<\/p>\n
One woman, then another, and many more arrived at the chapel with clicking heels. All were ladies Edwin lied to.<\/p>\n
A bright red-dressed woman shouted, \u201cScammer!\u201d She broke the ceremony\u2019s seriousness.<\/p>\n
As Edwin recognized her and others, his uncertainty turned to dread.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s a liar!\u201d exclaimed another.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou won\u2019t get away with this!\u201d added a third.<\/p>\n
The ceremony turned chaotic. One woman slammed one piece of wedding cake into Edwin\u2019s face, coating him in cream.<\/p>\n
He ran down the aisle, but a guest tripped him and he fell into a flower bed.<\/p>\n
Women swarmed, yelling accusations and using handbags, shoes, and flowers for revenge.<\/p>\n
After clearing the gathering, cops dragged a disheveled Edwin away. The chapel buzzed with quiet talks and sobs as peace returned.<\/p>\n
Kristi emerged from her hiding place as her mother left the chapel, crying. She shook her head and got in a car.<\/p>\n
Her mother was too proud to apologize. Kristi waited to let her grieve. She would ensure Edwin felt the full law in the interim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
