Alex, a wealthy young heir, made a heartless bet with his friends: charm and marry Milena — the kind, fuller-figured daughter of a rich tycoon — just for laughs. If he succeeded, they’d each owe him $100,000.

Milena, unaware of the cruel game, fell for his attention and kindness. When he proposed, she believed it was real love. The wedding was lavish, filled with high society and whispers of curiosity.

But at the altar, just as Alex began his vows, Milena calmly pulled her hand away.

“I can’t do this,” she said, her voice steady. “I know about the bet. The lies. I thought you saw me… but I was just a game to you.”

Gasps filled the room. Her father stood and ordered Alex out — escorted by security, still holding the bouquet.

Milena turned to the guests, tears in her eyes, and declared, “I was supposed to say ‘I do.’ Instead, I said ‘I won’t.’ I chose myself.”

The room, once stunned, erupted in applause.
