My Young Daughter Married a Man Twice Her Age — The Truth Behind It Shattered My Assumptions

In the late afternoon, I was flipping through mail when the doorbell rang. It was Serena, my 18-year-old daughter, who announced her engagement to a 60-year-old man named Edison. Shocked, I questioned her choice, but she insisted he was supportive and wise. The next evening, I attended a dinner at Edison’s elegant villa to meet him. He was charming but evasive about his past, raising my suspicions. During dessert, I overheard a woman—Annie—confront

Edison about a bet to marry a teenager to settle debts. Determined to protect Serena, I hired a private investigator, uncovering Edison’s history of fraud and manipulation. At their engagement party, Annie exposed Edison with a video of his confession, leading to his arrest for fraud. Serena, heartbroken, leaned on me for support. Months later, she pursued fashion design in Boston, healing through her passion. I vowed to always fight for her with love and presence.
