Falling in love with Dean felt perfect—until his mother, Martha, turned my life upside down. She never thought I was good enough and made it her mission to prove it.
From the moment we met, she compared me to Dean’s ex-wife, Kate, who had cheated on him with his cousin. Despite that betrayal, Martha still adored her and schemed to push me out of Dean’s life.
One evening, she crashed our date night, demanding his attention. Dean stood by me, but her meddling escalated. Days later, she ambushed me at home, smugly revealing that Kate was with Dean, hoping for a second chance. Furious, I rushed to Martha’s house—just in time to see Kate kiss Dean.
My heart sank, but to my relief, Dean pushed her away in disgust. When he saw me, he didn’t hesitate—he chose me.
We returned home, where Dean finally confronted Martha. “You’ve crossed every line. If you can’t accept Alice, we’re done.”
Martha raged, blaming me, but Dean stood firm. He asked her to leave, choosing the future we were building together over her toxic control.
As the door slammed behind her, I asked, “Are you sure?”
Dean took my hand. “When it comes to us, I have no doubts.”
At that moment, I knew—love was enough.
