Love doesn’t always survive the bill.
Daniel believed in saving, planning, and building a secure future—one step at a time. But when he proposed to Sophia, love met luxury, and everything changed.
Daniel thought he was making the ultimate gesture of love. He emptied his savings, maxed out his credit cards, and signed loan papers he barely read—all to give Sophia the dream wedding she demanded. One day of glitz, glamor, and carefully staged perfection. One day to prove he was enough.
But when the music stopped and the guests went home, reality came knocking—with interest.
As unpaid bills stack like dominoes and collection calls become a daily soundtrack, Daniel begins to unravel. Sophia, once the center of his world, turns distant, irritable, and entitled. She wanted a fairy tale—what she got was a husband sinking beneath debt and doubt. Every conversation becomes a battle. Every touch feels colder.
Then one night, she’s gone.
No note. No goodbye. Just silence—and a stack of final notices on the kitchen table.
Now Daniel must confront the truth: Did he sacrifice everything for a woman who was never in it for love? Or did the pressure of perfection destroy something that was real?
Happily Never After is a haunting, emotionally charged tale of deception, financial ruin, and the terrifying moment a man realizes the cost of love… might just be his sanity.
