When I first met Sam, I knew he was the one. Our love was perfect, and even his parents seemed to accept me despite their upper-class status. Wealth never mattered to me; I was determined to be an independent woman and make my own money.
The only drawback was their tough and sometimes nasty characters, especially towards serving people. Though it bothered me, they promised to tone it down, and I believed them.
The wedding day was a dream, and we were the happiest couple.
Two days later, we hosted a dinner for my in-laws, and I took charge of cooking and serving everything. As they arrived, they presented us with a bottle of wine and a set of cooking utensils.
Nice, I thought. Little did I know that this was just the beginning.
While Sam engaged his dad in a work-related discussion, I took the chicken from the oven. That’s when my mother-in-law, Janine, dropped a bombshell, asking, “Do you wanna serve this for our lunch? It looks really bad and smells the same.”
I was stunned, unsure how to react. At that moment, my father-in-law joined us, and she immediately switched to a sweet tone, praising my cooking. The sudden change left me perplexed.
Confused by her behavior, I wondered if something was wrong. Was there an underlying problem? The next day, she invited me to their home. I anticipated an apology, but she requested help with ironing and organizing clothes due to supposed back pain.
As the shocking footage played out for everyone to see, a collective gasp filled the room, especially Sam and my father-in-law. When unexpecting Janine entered the dining room, all the guests there looked at her with disgust. She couldn’t get why, and then Sam said:
“We saw everything that was happening in the kitchen. All your words were heard, Mom.”
The projection vividly exposed Janine’s true colors, and the family was forced to confront the reality of her actions. She started yelling that I provoked her and it’s all not true, but Sam took a stand and kicked her out of our home. His father, fed up with her actions, later asked for a divorce. The shocking revelation turned out to be the last straw in their strained relationship.
