I Renovated My Boyfriend’s Wedding Home,Only to Find the Bride Was My Best Friend

Four years together, and my boyfriend Merlin Fisher never brought up marriage, never once took me to meet his family.

The day before I planned to sit him down and settle it, my design studio landed a big job.

A full-floor unit in an upscale building.

The client, a woman old enough to be my mother, was practically glowing.

"This is going to be a marital home. No budget limit—as long as my son and daughter-in-law are happy."

"I bought this place for him a couple of years ago. Just been waiting for him to get married."

I smiled and made the right noises as she dug out her phone.
