Anya always hoped her mother, Alla, would find love again — but not with Arthur, the charming yet shady younger man she planned to marry. One morning, Anya overheard Arthur flirting with another woman on the phone while her mother was at work. When Anya told Alla the truth, her mother refused to believe it and accused Anya of jealousy.

Devastated, Anya turned to her friend Petya for help. Together, they devised a plan to expose Arthur’s infidelity: planting a hidden camera and gathering video evidence of his secret meetings and deceitful comments. As the wedding day approached, they edited the footage into one undeniable video.

During the reception, Anya took the stage and played the clip. Gasps echoed through the room as guests watched Arthur kissing another woman and bragging about exploiting Alla for money. Anya fled, humiliated — but her mother soon followed, tearful but grateful. “You saved me,” she told Anya.

In the days that followed, they turned the failed wedding into a celebration of freedom. The community gathered, Arthur vanished from their lives, and Anya finally saw her mother laugh again. The truth hurt — but it also healed. And for the first time, they faced the future as equals, strong and unafraid.
