My Mother-in-Law Booked the Adjacent Room During Our Honeymoon – She Aimed to Disrupt Our Trip, but Fate Had Other Plans

While I knew that my mother-in-law hated me, I was not prepared for her to hijack our honeymoon. But what she did during our trip was much worse. Luckily, karma wasn’t far behind… I just didn’t think we’d have to call the police.

You know how they say your wedding day is supposed to be the happiest day of your life?

Well, mine started out that way, but it quickly turned into a nightmare, thanks to my new mother-in-law, Eleanor.

I stood at the altar and gazed into my fiancé Jake’s warm brown eyes as we exchanged vows. The lavish venue sparkled around us, as well as the faces of our friends and family.

But not hers.

As we sealed our union with a kiss, I caught sight of Eleanor’s pinched expression over Jake’s shoulder. If looks could kill, I’d have dropped dead right there in my designer wedding gown.

I knew she didn’t approve of us because Jake and I were from two different worlds. I came from old money, the kind that will never run out.

On the other hand, Eleanor was a single mother who had many jobs over the years to support her son.

I admired her for it, but she thought Jake would never be happy with someone like me or with our family.

“I now pronounce you husband and wife!” the officiant declared, distracting me from my thoughts, and the room erupted in cheers and applause.

Several hours later, the reception was in full swing when Eleanor clinked her glass for the toast. I squeezed Jake’s hand under the table and braced myself.

This wouldn’t be good.

“To my son, Jake,” Eleanor began, and I could recognize the fake sweetness in her voice. “And to his… bride, Amelia.”

Jake tensed beside me.

“Jake, darling, I always knew you’d find someone… special.” Eleanor’s eyes narrowed as they landed on me. “Though I must say, I never expected you to marry quite so… far above your status.”

There she goes, I thought as my cheeks burned.

“I just hope Amelia knows what she’s getting into, marrying a man who grew up with so little. But I’m sure her family’s money will smooth over any… rough patches.”

Several guests gasped, and I gritted my teeth as Eleanor raised her glass. “To the happy couple. May your love be as enduring as Amelia’s trust fund.”

“I’m so sorry, Ames. I had no idea she’d –” Jake said as soon as his mother sat back down, but I stopped him with a kiss.

“It’s okay. Let’s just focus on us, alright?”

He nodded, but I could see the worry in his eyes. Fortunately, the rest of the wedding was unforgettable because we ignored that horrible woman.

But Eleanor… was just getting started.
