My son brought the bride home – as soon as I saw her face, I knew her name and not only…

When my son, Xavier, introduced his fiancée, I was thrilled—until I recognized her.

Xavier had always been private about his relationships, so I was surprised when he announced he had met the perfect woman and proposed after just three months. We prepared everything to welcome Cindy, excited to meet our future daughter-in-law.

But the moment I saw her, my heart dropped. She looked exactly like the woman my friend Margaret had warned us about—a con artist who had scammed her son out of a fortune before vanishing.

Panic took over. I had to protect Xavier. Thinking fast, I led Cindy to the cellar, locked the door, and ran to my husband. “Nathan, call the police!”

Xavier was stunned. “Mom, what are you doing?”

When the police arrived, Cindy stayed calm. Smiling, she said, “Mrs. Fitzpatrick, I’m not that woman. She ruined my life too.”

An officer confirmed her story. The real scammer had fled to Mexico—Cindy just happened to look like her.

Embarrassed, I apologized. To my surprise, Cindy laughed and hugged me. “At least this will be a great story for the future!”
