It is a sad and yet undeniable part of life, that long-standing couples will often find themselves cheating. This will always end in tears, no matter the reasoning. Putting our man in question’s heartache aside, one cannot deny that he paid her back in full for her infidelity.
An Oily Character
An Oily Character
The man named Dino, who worked on an oil rig, became committed to hatching his revenge plot. His goal was simple: punishing his unfaithful ex. Dino started suspecting her trueness when his work took him abroad. How did this all come to be?
I’ve Been Working On The Oil Rig
Dino wished to display his ex’s real soul. You could be wondering how a “humble” oil rig laborer could orchestrate all of this. It turns out that some jobs are deceptively lucrative. This was no ordinary partner, who was not going to allow anyone to mess him around, not even the supposed love of his life. This man was going to stand up for himself, and show the world that he wasn’t a pushover or a victim.
Ive Been Working On The Oil Rig
The Impressive Paycheck
Much of an oil rig worker’s costs are covered by their companies, meaning that they have plenty of cash left over to take home. The dangerous and laborious nature of the job means that oil rig workers are compensated incredibly well for their high-risk performances. There was plenty that Dino disliked about the job, but he certainly loved the money! Although the working conditions are not exactly desirable, the attached paychecks are. Dino lived a good life.
The Impressive Paycheck
Commitments
While the position is profitable, it does take one away from their home for weeks at a time. Oil rig workers will say goodbye to their families and home, and even firm earth, for long periods. Certainly, only a few select people can handle the pressures, and many oil rig employees sadly deal with the stress in wasteful ways. They will often go on shopping sprees or spend hours at bars. Thankfully, our man Dino was money clever.
Commitments
The Needed Certifications
If you decide that working on an offshore oil rig, you will need some specializations. There are plenty of skills to learn before you hop onto the helicopter. While degrees aren’t needed for this position, brains are. This is complex and involving work where the relevant staff must constantly take the utmost care. They are dealing with natural oil deposits in a dangerously concentrated form, and even the smallest mistake can lead to indescribable tragedy.
The Needed Certifications
Skills Over Textbooks
We might not need to convince you further when you learn of Dino’s role. His specialization demanded experience over qualifications. This is the type of occupation where what you learn in a textbook is only as good as how you used that knowledge in a real-life setting. They will also need a good head on their shoulders, and one that can work under immense pressure. What oil businesses seek in their employees is an obsession with details.
Skills Over Textbooks
Taking Onus
As described by his work colleagues, Dino “was a nice, quiet guy, and unlike some of the hard-partying guys on the crew, he didn’t blow his money as fast as it came.” Dino would generally turn down invitations from his work friends to go out on the night, drinking and who knows what else. He knew better than to drink his money away. He had a firm and highly disciplined code that he lived by.
Taking Onus
Putting It Away
Dino was intelligent and maintained responsibility. He earned plenty of cash, stashing as much of it as possible. Dino committed himself to a condo, covering the whole cost. Isn’t that incredible? While many white-collar workers might look down on a job like this one, Dino was earning more than many of them. But Dino wanted something that money couldn’t buy. Dino had reached a stage in his life were all that he wished for was a lifelong romance.
Putting It Away
The Search For Love
Like so many people in the world, Dino wished for a true and honest relationship with the woman of his dreams. Dino found himself quite lonesome, and when he did return home, he struggled with the silence and emptiness. He had some level of riches, with nothing to spend it on. He decided that a relationship was a worthy investment. He was under the impression that financial security was essential if he was to convince a woman to live with him.
The Search For Love
Soul Mate
But Dino was at a stage of loneliness and sadness where it seemed like any woman would do, so long as she would be good to him and love him as dearly as he did her. Sadly, Dino’s desperation led him to the kind of woman who is deceitful. While his colleagues were happy remaining as “players”, Dino was searching for his soul mate. He thought that he had it all figured out and that he was ready for a fairytale relationship.
Soul Mate
Professional Relationships
His buddies would spend long and wild nights being festive, returning to the rig the next morning to boast about their female encounters. Dino could care less about that kind of lifestyle. He wanted to find a woman to spend the rest of his life with. He thought that he could easily go out on the town with his friends and meet new women for a casual night out, but that would just make him feel worse the next day.
Professional Relationships
Out Of His Reach
Dino bided his time, assured of what he was looking for. Waiting did not seem like an issue for him when he began believing that the universe would present him with the perfect partner when he was ready. His patience paid off when he encountered a fabulous lady. The two established a healthy chemistry, and the fireworks began popping inside of Dino’s heart. All his pals could not believe that he had snatched such an attractive person!
Out Of His Reach
Sneaking Suspicions
But Dino’s friends would be far more observant than the smitten man himself. Beauty aside, his pals had nothing positive to say about this woman. For convenience’s sake, we will refer to her as Samantha. As described by Dino’s friends, she was gorgeous but had an awful attitude. Even after just a few meetings with Samantha, Dino’s friends had readily made up their minds. This was not the kind of woman that you took home to meet your parents!
Sneaking Suspicions
Dismissed
Dismissed
The way they put it; Samantha was “Centerfold hot.” In contrast, our man Dino had been described as, “a bit ordinary-looking, and kind of shy.” Although there was a discrepancy in attractiveness, perhaps his personality won her over? Many of the workers were proud to see Dino with such a stunning person. Still, many people will become incredibly suspicious when an average-looking person is with a superbly stunning one. People can’t help being judgmental, after all.
Questionable
But there was one commentator that outright disliked Samantha, more so than the other guys. One pal of Dino’s didn’t trust Samantha. He described how when he was in contact with her, Samantha “raised the hair on the back of my neck.” Suspicions aside, he did go to lengths to become better acquainted with the lady. He did not want to upset his friend Dino, and he was slightly happy that he had finally found someone.
Questionable
I Hate To Break It To You…
As hard as he tried to like Samantha, he found her to be “one of the most self-centered, attention gathering people I had ever met.” To him, she was an irredeemable and self-serving person who had no one’s happiness in mind but her own. He knew that he could not stand by and watch Dino be taken for a ride. The particularly perceptive pal was about to crack the case. He knew he had to break it to Dino appropriately.
I Hate To Break It To You
Warning Signs
It seemed like Samantha left a trail of warning signs from the get-go. “She was smart, all right” Dino’s pal mentioned, “you could tell that in 5 minutes of conversing with her. But she was devastatingly gorgeous, knew it, and was very skilled at manipulating the people around her.” Samantha seemed like the person that could hypnotize a chump in a matter of minutes before getting anything that she wanted out of them in seconds.
Warning Signs
Moving In
Moving In
The friend revealed that “Every instinct in me screamed ‘predator.’” Regardless, he had no clear evidence to convince Dino with. He could not break his suspicions and warnings to Dino by going on a hunch. That would just lead to a potentially friendship-ending argument. All that he could do was bite his tongue while Dino and Samantha’s relationship progressed alarmingly fast. They seemed to have skipped a few logical stages. Samantha then decided to join Dino in his condo, indefinitely!
Dino’s Discoveries
On the surface, Samantha and Dino’s relationship seemed idyllic. They went on beautiful dates to fancy restaurants, were playful and loving towards one another in public, and seemed completely smitten with one another. But the spell could only last for so long, and Dino would eventually break free. Inevitably, Dino would come to suspect Samantha too. Things started falling apart when he moved away for work. He couldn’t shake a negative feeling. Dino’s previously mentioned pal decided to confront him.
Dinos Discoveries
Touch And Go
Deciding to live together is a huge move for any couple. One that two people in love will only commit to after having gotten to know one another incredibly well. Sharing a property with someone takes a mutual dedication and responsibility. Such a decision can define or destroy a relationship, especially if one partner does not pull their weight or work hard. It is the increased level of intimacy which shows the truth of a partner.
Touch And Go
Patience And Understanding
In a perfect world, a couple will deal with their differences and increase their bond as persons and partners. The problems are generally restrained to several matters which can be sorted through dedication and patience. When partners able to healthily come to the table, and diplomatically try to please each other with compromises and promises, then a way forward can be found. But what happens when one partner is stubborn and selfishly ignores their other half’s needs?
Patience And Understanding
The Message Form The Bank
Things got progressively worse between Dino and Samantha, as it turned out. The distance between them didn’t help, of course, but the foundations that they had built turned out to have been placed on shaky ground. Just what was Samantha plotting while Dino was working so far away? He seemed to have no way of knowing. His pal explained that the initial serious warning sign came when Dino received an unexplainable notification from his bank account.
The Message Form The Bank
Unreliable
Dino decided that Samantha should have a credit card to pay for things while he was away. She had ‘proven’ herself to be a responsible spender, one that would not take advantage of their now shared finances and be reasonable with her purchases. He couldn’t help noticing oddities on the bank statement. Poring through the list of purchases, he saw alarmingly hefty purchases from many different shops. There was all manner of crazy transactions popping up. Just what was Samantha doing?
Unreliable
An Anxious Mind
His friend revealed, “Things were showing up inconsistently, like a $300 grocery purchase, and then another $200 grocery purchase a couple of days later.” Samantha was going on shopping spree after shopping spree. Although Dino earned well, he was not wealthy by any means, and it was clear that he would not be able to support Samantha’s extravagant lifestyle for much longer, nor did he want to. Are you starting to become as suspicious as the friend was?
An Anxious Mind
Oil Digger
“Either she was eating $500 worth of groceries a week or she was pumping cash-backs from the grocery store into her purse,” detailed the post. It seemed like Dino’s friends were well aware of what was happening in his relationship, and how he was being exploited by this strange woman. But Dino would not stay in the dark for much longer. Heartbreakingly, Dino finally caught on that his girlfriend of the time was a gold digger!
Oil Digger
Trashed
Dino carried on striving at the oil rig, plumbing the depths of the earth for minerals. All throughout, Samantha was happily lounging in his condo, burning through his hard-earned cash. While Dino was risking his life daily, breaking his back so that he could dream of a better life with Samantha, she was turning all his blood, sweat, and tears into useless and unfair purchases to break the boredom of her empty life. This was a toxic relationship.
Trashed
Never Again
Dino was, however, wiser for this experience, and we’re certain that he would not fall into this kind of trap once more. During this period, he found his mind blown when coming to the sad conclusion. Samantha’s strange behavior also made him question her loyalty to him. In his mind, if Samantha could happily break his trust financially, what other relationship rules was she willing to break? Dino was becoming paranoid and obsessive and deeply troubled.
Never Again
Chances
Dino’s mind began filling with all the heartbreaking and terrifying possibilities. Given the long stretches of time that Dino spent abroad, Samantha definitely had the long gaps needed to cheat. There was no one there to watch her. To add insult to injury, she could pay for dates with Dino’s cash. If the suspicions were correct, then there were two knives in Dino’s back! Samantha wasn’t the only running one, however, as she would soon find out…
Chances
Decision Making
The oil rig worker had finally had enough. He could no longer bear to think of what was happening behind his distant back. It was time to talk to the boss about returning home. Dino then made sure that his relief would be moved back a couple of days earlier, speeding homewards. He was incredibly anxious as he hopped on the plane. Finally, Dino was assured of his negative doubts. So, what did Dino do following his explosive confirmations?
Decision Making
Wishing It Wasn’t So
Dino possessed a strong understanding of what he would discover upon returning home. It seemed like he had everything figured out before even arriving at the scene. He wanted nothing more than to be proven wrong and that he had allowed his paranoia to spiral out of control. Of course, being stabbed in the back by a partner is a terrible thing. Tragically, there was no way around the confrontation. It was time to right the wrongs.
Wishing It Wasnt So
Deer In The Headlights
The plane landed and Dino hurried out of the plane to the luggage collection carousel. He tapped his foot impatiently as the bags finally began churning out. When Dino finally arrived, he asked the security guard of his condo’s association to follow him to witness the sordid affair. Samantha had no idea that her boyfriend was on his way, thinking he’d only return later that week. She was about to receive the shock of her life!
Deer In The Headlights
The Mature Man
Dino and his security guard escort marched towards his front door. The security guard did not know what he was about to walk in on, but Dino seemed incredibly tense. Dino was about to conclude his conspiracy theories regarding his deceitful partner. Although his relationship was about to come to a fatal end, Dino was certain that he would keep his cool. He had not come this far just to freak out and forget everything that he had planned.
The Mature Man
The Big Split
While we will never know exactly what happened as Dino and the security guard stepped in through the front door, we are certain that Dino’s worst fears were confirmed. Our account of this story comes from Dino’s close friend. “Dino was calm and collected, which was amazing, given the circumstances. Just told the guy to get out.” The stranger gathered his clothes and as much dignity as he could before scampering out. “Then he told Samantha to get out, too.”
The Big Split
Kicking Samantha Out
Dino simply passed her a hotel room key, a bit of cash for a taxi ride, and instructed her to make a swift exit. Samantha, however, went berserk, which was probably the appropriate response, given the situation. Her shock and embarrassment suddenly turned into explosive rage when she realized that her perfect, parasitical life had just gone up in flames. But she was the type of person that would walk through fire to keep her immoral position in life.
Kicking Samantha Out
Virtually Destitute
Virtually Destitute
Punishments aside, we refuse to pardon Samantha’s betrayals. Not only had she been fleecing a partner that she thought was too stupid to know any better, but she was entertaining another man in her boyfriend’s condo, all on Dino’s dime. But Samantha could not just slip away like a thief in the night. She and Dino had fused their lives, and all their property and belongings. Complicatedly, all of Samantha’s possessions were crammed into Dino’s unit.
Left Without
Left Without
Samantha knew that her whole way of life was at risk here. She quickly cooked up another manipulation strategy, but Dino was long past falling for her tricks and games. All things considered, Samantha should have opted for a more apologetic response, rather than being entitled. This was Dino’s home, and thankfully the two had not tied the knot prior to this incident, otherwise Dino would not have been able to cut her off so easily…
Hissy Fit
Samantha realized that her manipulation tactics weren’t working, so she switched to another weapon in her arsenal, pity. Dino’s friend continued describing the situation, where Samantha was, “screaming, crying apologizing, and proclaiming her love for him in one breath, and cursing him with the next.” Dino simply watched her silently and stonily. Samantha’s true character had finally been revealed, one that she had kept completely secret from Dino all this time. She had gone completely wild.
Hissy Fit
Dead Serious
The stunned security guard, who had been an unwitting witness to the whole ordeal, was finally called to action. Dino then apparently instructed the security guard who escorted him to summon the police, who then arrived at around the same moment as the locksmith did, the friend continued with. Dino was not taking the situation lightly. He was adamant that Samantha should know how severe the situation was. Even the police would be needed to take his life back.
Dead Serious
Confirmation
Samantha had never thought to add her title to the lease, so Dino had no problems confirming his ownership of his home. Samantha was then removed from Dino’s property. It had been a turbulent evening, and Dino collapsed onto his sofa with exhaustion. He felt incredibly drained but strangely satisfied. He had swiftly and expertly managed to remove the parasite from his life and home. Or so he thought. Incredibly, Samantha would reappear in Dino’s life once more!
Confirmation
Stripped Bare
Dino shattered Samantha’s world, being completely blindsided by his harsh revenge. In a second, her pampered lifestyle fell apart. Dino, of course, canceled the card he had disastrously given her. While it would take some time for him to earn back the amount of money that Samantha had drained from his account, at least his mind and heart were safe, not to mention his property and finances. As for his love life? That would be left on pause for some time…
Stripped Bare
Thrown Aside
It was time for Samantha to pay the pied piper. Dino was done caring for her, but it wasn’t like Samantha was incompetent and couldn’t work to support herself. He knew that Samantha was just lazy, and preferred to work on taking advantage of others rather than studying or applying for jobs. Dino decided to lend her a hand in that regard, out of the goodness of his heart, but she turned on him once more.
Thrown Aside
A Safe Space
There are plenty of people that will simply trash everything that a cheating ex possesses, but Dino was not about to begin throwing clothes out of the window. Dino painstakingly gathered all her property and stashed it in a storage unit. That was it for Dino, who ignored her multiple phone calls. When Samantha came crawling back to Dino’s place, he had all the pieces in place. This was going to be a quick and easy final meeting, or so he thought…
A Safe Space
Code Of Silence
Incredibly, Samantha thought that this Dino was going to forgive her and let her back into his home, even after everything that she had done to him. Samantha was under the impression that she could just waltz back in. Perhaps Dino should have been a little clearer, but Samantha was incredibly presumptious. Dino had skipped out the part about the fate of her possessions. Regrettably, their romance had ended, and she could not call Dino’s place home anymore.
Code Of Silence
Get Out Of My Life
Samantha was convinced that she was the kind of person that men cannot live without. That she could do anything to her ‘partner’, and that he would happily lap up all the abuse. Samantha would be shocked by all this news after being confronted once more, only this time, Dino was nowhere to be seen. Rather, the building employee simply, “handed her the key to the storage unit and directions on how to get there.”
Get Out Of My Life
Desperate To Return
“Then he instructed her that she was no longer welcome on the property,” Dino’s pal recounted. At this stage, we have to give kudos to the building employees for agreeing to help Dino out with such a dramatic and unusual situation. It seemed that they empathized with what he was going through. Not Samantha, however, who would not take all this lying down. She wanted to show Dino just how much pain he had caused her!
Desperate To Return
All Things Considered
Dino was not about to expose himself or his property. It was like he was a king in his castle, and Samantha was a thief trying to find a way in. But this fortress didn’t have any weaknesses in its defenses, or so Dino thought. Dino went the whole nine yards towards keeping Samantha away from his property. He protected all his assets from her grasping hands. He simply refused to ever put his faith in her again.
All Considered
Overlooking The Details
During this time, Dino believed that he was in the clear and that his personal belongings were safe and secure, regardless of where his work took him. He would carry on with his life, believing that his time with Samantha was nothing but a bad memory, and perhaps a difficultly learned lesson. He would return to the oil rig and continue living his quiet and subdued lifestyle. Shockingly, he realized that his plan was not foolproof.
Overlooking The Details
The Crown Jewel
It was halfway through a work shift that Dino’s daydreaming suddenly snapped into a vague panic. There was something that he had forgotten to protect from Samantha, but he did not know what. Firstly, he had failed to consider a vital aspect. What could it have been? His plan to keep Samantha at bay had been blindly focused on his condo. Soon after their explosive split, Dino realized that Samantha could still access a prized possession of his.
The Crown Jewel
The Car Of His Dreams
As previously discussed, Dino was not a showy person and tried to be as tight-fisted as possible. Everyone has that one luxury, however, no matter how hard they try to be modest. Beside his Condo, Dino’s other major possession was his white Chevy Monte Carlo! A couple of weeks following the big breakup, Dino rushed home following his latest job at the time with a horrid prediction in mind. He was once more hurrying home in a panic. What could be so terrible?
The Car Of His Dreams
Shattered
The nightmare had started again, and Dino knew exactly what was at risk once more. This time, it would not be a living person involved, but something still incredibly dear to his heart. When Dino rushed into his garage to check on his beloved car, he found it in shambles. Here is a detailed account of the damages: “Four flat tires, a smashed windshield, and a can of red paint had been poured over it.”
Shattered
Going Too Far
Dino had managed to seal everything off like gold in Fort Knox, except for the other most treasured possession in his life. Even if Samantha had not been involved, Dino could have made more of an effort to protect his car in general. Obviously, the attached security was poor, with Dino’s friend saying, “There was no proof, but it didn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out.” Messing with someone’s beloved car is generally a terrible idea, as Samantha would soon find out!
Going Too Far
The Reaction
The Dino that had kept a statue-like coolness during the first incident was completely different from the one now. Dino could not be calm this time. It seemed like he could tolerate being cheated on, but heaven help anyone who messed with his baby. Samantha had gone too far. Why would she try to hurt him so badly? It is because she felt like she had done nothing wrong. Dino would not take the passive approach.
The Reaction
Revenge Is A Dish…
The average person would probably have immediately sought vengeance, but despite how furious he was, Dino managed to calm himself down after a few minutes. He was a generally level-headed individual, and he was not about to rush out into the night for vengeance. Dino was the kind of person who knew that revenge was a dish best served cold, awaiting the perfect opportunity. He would wait for Samantha to feel safe, like she had gotten away with it.
Revenge Is A Dish
Stay Frosty
Dino simply carried on with life. He would fly back and forth between the oil rig, work incredibly hard and long hours, and occasionally hang out with his friends. But he had changed, as his friends remarked. He was even quieter and more reserved than general. He seemed preoccupied with some troubling thoughts, often spotted staring into space. He did not forgive Samantha; however, he was just biding his time. Eventually, the opportunity for revenge would appear.
Stay Frosty
Unforgettable
Dino simply couldn’t overlook how Samantha destroyed his vehicle, and yet he could not find the right opportunity to strike back, either. One day, after a long time had passed, Dino learned of an incredible development in Samantha’s life. It was when Dino discovered that Samantha was soon to be married that he found his opportunity. One of Dino’s friends, Nancy, informed him of the event. Nancy’s sister, called Cathy, was a good pal of Samantha’s. However, Nancy knew what kind of person Samantha truly was.
Unforgettable
The Wheels Were In Motion
Nancy briefed Dino thoroughly on the approaching wedding. In time, Nancy would become an integral part of his cunning plot. Dino was committed to raising hell on Samantha’s wedding day. Dino was lucky to have Nancy, who knew only too well how malicious the bride was. All of a sudden, Dino was part of a conspiracy against Samantha. Certainly, there were plenty of people that she had betrayed and taken advantage of that felt the same need for revenge that Dino did.
The Wheels Were In Motion
Conspirators
Although Cathy was strongly committed to Samantha, her sister Nancy knew better. Plotting against her alongside Dino was too good to resist. They were committed to turning her fairytale wedding into a nightmare. Their hearts might have been in the ‘right’ place, but if they were going to turn the villainous Samantha’s perfect day upside down, they would need to begin planning the perfect crime. Dino was no saboteur, but maybe he could learn a thing or two from Nancy…
Conspirators
Treachery
When Nancy received her invitation to Samantha’s wedding, she couldn’t help remembering how badly she treated Dino. The way that she abused such a warm and gentle person by cheating on and stealing from him was unforgivable. That is not to say that Nancy had not felt the sting of Samantha’s poison, however, but nothing compared to what Dino had been through at the femme fatale’s hands. She had cheated on him and destroyed his expensive property.
Treachery
The Scheming In Motion
Nancy and Dino spent many hours sitting together, coming up with various nefarious ways to get back at Samantha. While Nancy had seemed like the more mischievous of the two at first, she was pleasantly surprised when Dino’s own scheming powers came through, and he became the true mastermind. Dino now just had to perfect his revenge plot. After solidifying the steps to vengeance, he wrote a nameless letter, around thirty days prior to the big day.
The Scheming In Motion
Searching For Righteousness
Dino needed to make his threat real enough to shake Samantha to her foundations, but not so obvious that she knew what was coming. He then put together a small collection of symbolic and mysterious items. The envelope’s contents included a wedding dress, a ketchup sachet, and a picture of a Monte Carlo. There was also just one piece of paper with the words: “Red on White”. Finally, Dino was on track to get his justice.
Searching For Righteousness
Target On Her Back
That was when Dino began having second thoughts. This was not like him, to spend so much time plotting against someone like some kind of sociopath. That was when he remembered why he had gone down this dark road in the first place. The bride-to-be had shamelessly exploited Dino’s hard-earned income and home. Samantha simply sucked him dry. Eventually, she would stab him in the back. Dino was more than ready to settle the scores.
Target On Her Back
The Ominous Hint
He could have forgotten about the cheating – he knew that people can’t help themselves when they aren’t born with the ability to love anyone but themselves. But what Samantha did to Dino’s beloved car burned in his mind. It wasn’t about the money. Dino had car insurance, after all. There was little holding him back from paying her back in kind. Samantha probably had some idea of what was coming after that foreboding letter!
The Ominous Hint
Following Procedure
Dino had done his best to keep his plot under wraps, but Samantha was too clever to pass this off as a vague threat. Samantha was then quite aware that her opulent white wedding dress was in danger. So, what would the next phase of the daring revenge plot entail? Luckily, Dino had an inside woman. Nancy provided Dino with some intel gained from her sister, Cathy. Dino now knew where Samantha would purchase her dress from!
Following Procedure
Lady In Red
It was time to get physical with his plot. Dino knew that this next step would require his direct involvement. Dino went to the store and approached the smiling and unsuspecting clerk with a deal: one hundred dollars in return for an essential and misleading call. All he had to do was call Samantha, and tell her that they “need her to come to the shop and choose the red lace trim for her gown.”
Lady In Red
Hysterical
“Samantha showed up 20 minutes later, freaking out, and demanding to know what this was about,” Dino’s pal revealed, “The guy said he got a call from her fiancé and ordered the red lace for the dress. Samantha knew that it wasn’t the fiancé.” There was no doubt in her mind as to who was targeting her. As soon as Samantha laid eyes on the crimson she knew exactly what was happening. She began seeing red, well past the lace.
Hysterical
Stalling
What was supposed to be a joyous time, where all the attention was on her, had suddenly become a paranoia-filled test of endurance. Samantha loved attention, but this was the kind that she could live without. Samantha was hysterical throughout due to one solid reason. Certainly, she was assured that her dress would face disaster. With her wedding approaching, one can only imagine how terrified Samantha became. Every little thing seemed like a possible threat.
Stalling
Downfall
Incredibly, things didn’t end there. At this stage, Dino was too far into this plot to back out. He had changed as a person, and had become single-minded in his intent. Dino bided his time leading up to the wedding day, and thought of more ways to torture Samantha. Nancy suffered a “slip up” when she informed Cathy that Dino had a pal working in the attached wedding’s catering business. Of course, Cathy went running to Samantha with the news.
Downfall
Tactical Retreat
Samantha became hysterical once more and, “immediately deleted the pasta dishes, and had tomatoes removed from the salads in fear that Dino’s non-existent buddy might dump a plate on her.” Something as innocent as food had become lethal, as Dino continued to turn more once exciting parts of Samantha’s big day into potential weapons and traps. Dino still had some surprises in store, however. These tricks were all just appetizers before the main course and that cold, cold dish.
Tactical Retreat
His Lips Were Sealed
One of the main points of Dino’s master plan was that Samantha should grow to fear the color red. Dino ensured that a few dozen individual red-colored lipsticks were delivered to her home, all sent out of a mixture of Amazon salespeople, which were all covered with prepaid credit cards! Samantha, who failed to trace the source, but knew exactly who sent them. She spent the day in pieces, and every time that her doorbell rang, she nearly had a nervous breakdown.
His Lips Were Sealed
Unsatisfied
As if this wasn’t enough, Dino also positioned a red sharpie on Samantha’s windshield in a sneaky threat. He had become her worst nightmare, the invisible threat that stalked her and placed constant reminders of her impending doom in intimate places. When the wedding finally arrived, Samantha’s nerves were wracked, paranoid of the threat of red paint. She had good reason to be afraid. Although the pair had not crossed paths for a couple of years, Samantha could not forget how their relationship had concluded.
Unsatisfied
Vengeance Plot
Despite how menacing and cold-hearted Dino had become, he could not help but occasionally fantasize about what could have been. Samantha could have found true happiness with Dino, instead of breaking his heart and exploiting him. He secretly wished that the person that he had met was the real Samantha, that fun-loving, sweet, and charming angel. Decisively, the situation worsened when she began wrecking his car. Samantha didn’t doubt that Dino’s intelligence could be used against her.
Vengeance Plot
Daddy Steps In
Perhaps Samantha honestly believed that Dino would attack her during her wedding day, as she even approached her father for help. She instructed that “her father call Dino at work to talk him into backing off, but when Dino explained what she had done to him and his car, the father became really ticked off at Samantha.” This was a father who had called Dino in a rage. How dare anyone mess with his baby?
Daddy Steps In
Bros Before Brides
You might not think that any father would happily allow anyone to threaten their daughter, especially on her wedding day. Dino and Samantha’s father bonded over the “man code.” To put it simply, men cannot forgive those who desecrate their holy rides. It seemed like Samantha’s father was a petrol head himself and empathized with Dino, as his loyalties shifted. Regardless, just what was Dino planning for the dreaded wedding day, anyway? We’ll get to that now!
Bros Before Brides
All Alone
Somewhat chivalrously, Dino still wished for the wedding attendees to appreciate the big day. There would be no collateral damage once the fireworks went off, Dino assured himself. He only longed for Samantha’s suffering. The message continued by describing just how hysterical Samantha was during the wedding reception. She was a real-life ‘Bridezilla’, making her friends and family’s lives a painful experience. She declared that any single trace of red flowers was to be trashed.
All Alone
Monster Bride
Monster Bride
Samantha maintained a healthy distance of ten feet between her and anyone with red drinks. Samantha probably grew eyes at the back of her head in preparation for possible attacks! Her heart was racing, sweat was beginning to pour down her perfect makeup, the room began to spin. Hilariously, Dino hadn’t prepared anything… Samantha had been pushed to the edge by empty threats. All those months of anxiety, fear, and looking over her shoulder were for nothing.
Eyes Everywhere
Dino simply wished for those gathered to see how Samantha would perform, to reveal her true nature to anyone who was still under the illusion that she was a good person. His friend commented how, “He turned her into a Bridezilla, and Nancy, who was invited, kept him updated with a running commentary as the night progressed. It was legendary.” Dino sat from home having the scene described to him. The oil rig worker was grimly satisfied.
Eyes Everywhere
Samantha Goes Overboard
The psychological terror pushed Samantha into revealing herself as a hysterical and fearful individual. Her stringent rules forced all her guests to tiptoe around her so that nothing red hit her dress. The gathered were completely oblivious as to why, except for her father and a few of her friends. Some people were amused, most were horrified, and a few individuals felt like justice had been served. Her father watched as she was finally revealed to the world.
Samantha Goes Overboard
Disgraced
Samantha was so maddeningly focused on her wedding dress’s safety that she had, in the crazy process, totally shamed herself. She had put a material object before all the people that supposedly mattered the most in the world. Dino had shown them all how shallow and selfish Samantha truly was. Such embarrassment could have been avoided if she had merely kept quiet and avoided calling on her father for aid. She could have never expected that he would change sides.
Disgraced
Revelations
A calmer approach would have kept her dad in the dark about the way she treated Dino. If she had come out and revealed her wrongdoings, maybe they would have been more sympathetic, especially if she had been apologetic. Dino might have been more reluctant to ruin her life if she had expressed a genuine shame for how she treated him. Eventually, all that was destroyed was her good name. All the gathered finally saw through her.

During the wedding, Dino the mastermind could simply sit on his hands and let Samantha ironically sabotage her own wedding. The man had put months of hard work and diabolical plotting into the scheme, but it had all paid off in the world. We must give Dino credit, as this was sheer evil genius brilliance! Samantha would never be allowed to abuse or exploit anyone else, especially when one considers how viral this story went!

Wedding Crashed
Samantha quickly descended into a legitimate Bridezilla. Samantha behaved like a madwoman and provided everyone with a clearer picture of her personality. Dino sent her over the edge by barely lifting a finger. The psychological manipulation of it all was what broke her. If you ever want to take revenge on someone, take a page out of Dino’s book and do it remotely, calmly, and cleverly. You don’t always need to dig two graves when you seek vengeance!
Wedding Crashed
Better For It
A positive result of this mess was that Samantha finally experienced justice. Truthfully, this could all have been avoided if Samantha had simply appreciated and loved Dino. If she had been a more moral person, her wedding would have gone swimmingly. We are certain that she wishes she could take everything back. Sadly, her love life is truly over. Our tales of revenge don’t end here, however, except that this time it was the bride getting revenge!
Better For It
Vengeance
Sarah* was over the moon to be tying the knot with her soul mate. Sadly, moments prior to the ceremony, Sarah was informed of some shocking news. She was uncertain as to what she was supposed to do with such knowledge, quickly hatching a scheme that would allow her to turn the tables. She wasn’t about to play the victim, however, as Sarah was a fighter and was not about to let even the ‘man of her dreams ruin her life. What Sarah was given was simply awful…
Vengeance
To Begin With
Sarah couldn’t wait for her wedding to arrive, one shared with her loved ones. She had been dreaming of this moment for many years, as so many people do, and that dream finally seemed like a reality. Her social circle wished to celebrate the fairytale event with her. As is custom prior to a wedding, Sarah and her pals had big plans. They then booked into a hotel room the evening prior to the big day.
To Begin With
A Magical Conclusion
A Magical Conclusion
The Australian pair tied the knot after six years of love. Their relationship had been a loving and respectful one, where they had overcome all manner of challenges together and cherished the good times. Sarah was convinced to form the get-go that this man was her soul mate and that her prince charming had finally come to her. This fairytale took a completely unexpected turn when Sarah was blindsided by something straight out of her worst fears…
Her Cellphone Blows Up
Her Cellphone Blows Up
Sarah’s cellphone became flooded with messages and an incredible expression of adoration in general. When her smartphone later vibrated, Sarah believed it was merely better wishes from a well-meaning loved one, given that she was the talk of the town. She was struggling to manage all the well-wishers and their emotional outbursts. The notification turned out to be something far more upsetting… the type of message that a person has nightmares about but never expects to receive in real life.
Shattered Happiness
The message described broke her heart into a thousand pieces. Sarah fell to her knees upon discovering that her husband-to-be, Alex, had kept her deluded throughout their relationship. The sordid contents of the message revealed that Alex had been sharing a bed with another person. The included conversation was between him and his mistress; all the evidence which Sarah needed. Her eyes were burning as she pored over the ugly details and loving exchanges that should only have been for her.
Shattered Happiness
Heartless
The screen captures of the conversation were staring her in the face, bringing a question to her mind. It covered the bigger picture: “I wouldn’t marry him. Will you?” Sarah plowed through the exchanges, steadily realizing that the cheating had commenced months past, right up until moments prior to the wedding. For a long time now, her partner had been smiling in her face while simultaneously stabbing her in the back. How was he such a convincing actor?
Heartless
Weeping
Sarah obviously took everything to the core of her being. The hideous reality had been laid bare, there was nothing else to say. She began weeping, commenting that, “Every word was like a dagger in my heart.” Sarah was previously oblivious to her man’s infidelity. But every beautiful word, every hug and kiss, every magical date all turned into ashes. Most people would suffer a nervous breakdown if they were in Sarah’s shoes, but she was made of stronger stuff.
Weeping
Distrust
Before we continue with the story, it is important to understand why people cheat in the first place. Dr. Rowan Burckhardt discussed a couple of motivators regarding cheating in a relevant video. The doctor described the initial reason for cheating as stemming from some form of issue inside the relationship. The second one was that a betraying lover could have stopped loving their partner, or worse, did not in the first place. These people stay in a loveless relationship out of convenience or pity.
Distrust
Professional Opinion
Dr. Burckhardt begins the video by commenting on how people will act out against problems by exiting “out of the relationship” and shifting to other people, while ironically still being technically committed to their partner. The dissatisfied individual wishes for intimacy and calmness, as well as for other values desperately needed. It is true that many people will not get everything that they need out of a monogamous relationship and need more from other people.
Professional Opinion
Eye For An Eye
Returning to our story, Sarah finished reading the disturbing messages and put her phone away. She was not sure of the reasons why her man cheated, but she was certain they were inexcusable. No matter what she had done wrong, nothing could justify his actions. She then suffered from insomnia, restless over the fact that her “big day” had been paid for and the attendees were flocking in. She decided that the show had to go on.
Eye For An Eye
Plan B
Sarah now swapped commitment for revenge. She felt her broken heart turn into stone as her soul began burning with the need for revenge. She wished for Alex to understand the pain that he had caused her. Sarah desperately wanted to make an example of him, hatching a secret plot. You might think that Sarah had transformed into a Bridezilla, but she was so much more than that. She felt like she had come back from the dead for revenge!
Plan B
The Avenger
With the wedding day getting closer, Sarah was quite anxious, but not with the usual bride’s nerves. Sarah was obsessed with vengeance, and she described how “This was supposed to be the happiest day of my life.” Sarah was now aware that her perfect bond was coming to a dramatic close, for everyone’s viewing horror. She was dedicated to ruining him! Her guests were excitedly looking forwards to their friends’ wedding, while the son and daughter of the families about to be joined were over the moon.
The Avenger
Sunshiny Day
Sunrise brought with it the promise of a fabulous day. Sarah was numb to the beautiful weather, sadly, as she felt that even the brightest sun could not make its way into the darkness inside. She was filled with so much rage and misery that she was desperate for an outlet, one that she had painted a target on the back of. She was in a world of pain, worse than ever before. Sarah convinced her friends to act normally, despite knowing full well how ruined everything was.
Sunshiny Day
Clear Skies
The big day was steadily unfolding, each minute that passed causing Sarah a world of hurt. Sarah attempted to put on a happy face, struggling with the fact that her closest and most beloved friends and family would soon be blown away by her actions. Acting like an ecstatic bride-to-be was the hardest thing that Sarah had ever done, but she had to keep her composure and see it all through to the bitter end.
Clear Skies
The Disguise
Sarah’s gorgeous dress, once the gown of a lifetime, now felt more like a silly disguise. She felt like an impostor as she smiled back in the faces of all her friends and family. Regardless, she boldly strode down the aisle, knowing full well just how diabolical the seemingly dreamlike scene would become. Sarah made it to the podium, dropped her bouquet, and took her place, committed to ditching the classic vows. Instead, she had a more horrifying script in mind.
The Disguise
Hold The Petals
Finally, everyone was gathered and waiting excitedly for the ceremony to begin. Sarah strode in like a queen as the romantic music played and her ‘husband-to-be’ watched her enter with tears in his eyes. The vows were about to be exchanged. Sarah recounted that “I stood at the front of the room in my wedding dress and looked out at the excited faces of our friends and family.” She was experiencing new levels of nervousness as she whipped out her smartphone.
Hold The Petals
Full Disclosure
“My hands were shaking, but not nearly as much as my insides quivered,” Sarah described. She commenced by revealing to her guests that this union was over. The attendees were perplexed, unable to understand her words. Soft, confused muttering could be heard here and there, but the crowd was mostly stunned. Sarah commenced describing the shameful affair which her fiancé had been entertaining, not failing to flesh it out with all the little dirty details.
Full Disclosure
Information Overload
These details include various messages exchanged between her fiancé and his mistress, some of which were completely dirty. One praised his mistress’s “skills”, while another detailed how much he pined for her and just how phenomenal their “connection” was. People were gasping in shock and disgust. Some people looked like they were about to pass out, but Sarah was not going to end the show prematurely. Despite the pain, this was causing her, Sarah was committed to the exposure.
Information Overload
In All Honesty
Alex’s secret perverted affair had been laid bare. The hundreds of guests had all been intimately briefed on what this groom had done to her. Sarah had totally shamed him, as was her plan. Alex bolted past all the guests, who stared after him in stunned silence, including his family. But Sarah was not going to waste this opportunity. Despite the disastrous scene, Sarah informed the attendees that the celebration was still on and that they should still enjoy themselves.
In All Honesty
Redemption
Sarah began by saying that despite how much it killed her to do this, that there would be no wedding reception any longer. And that instead the focus would be on locating actual love and doing what is right, no matter the cost. Incredibly, the show still went on, to everyone’s enjoyment. There was still much feasting to be done, after all, and the guests partied hard. Sarah mentioned that they had, “one hell of a party.”
Redemption
Bad News Spreads Fast
Some people had been clever enough to capture Sarah’s speech and Alex’s dramatic escape with their smartphones. This woeful wedding became a viral hit in mere minutes, which comes as no surprise considering how dramatic it was. Sarah had influenced individuals across the globe when she transformed a massive upset into justice. Elle magazine put up a poll within their website, asking visitors if they would have followed in Sarah’s example. 60% of voters supported Sarah’s actions.
Bad News Spreads Fast
Courageous
Followers of “IrishCentral” supported Sarah in her bold move and her handling of the disaster. Graham Houghton even commented that she was, “A very brave woman who deserves and will certainly find someone better. I wish her luck and happiness.” Not that Sarah was going on any dates for some time to come. Will Agee continued with, “Wow! Very strong and forward-thinking of her! Honesty is the best policy with self and others! Blessing all!”.
Courageous
Famous Opinions
One individual named, “Intolerant Liberal” mentioned that this story was perfect for a Hollywood script. They believed that Hollywood would definitely be making a cheesy rom-com out of this story, starring Jennifer Anniston and Brad Pitt. It would be a legitimate tear-jerker. But how could any director conclude such a horrifying climax? This is certainly a fantastic film idea, but it should also have a happy ending! Sarah had planned the entire spectacle, well past the dramatic confrontation.

Commentary
This tale made its way far into internet culture and invited the attention of plenty of commenters who weighed in. There were plenty who gave their support to Sarah, sending encouraging wishes and prayers. Some believed that Sarah was intensely courageous for her actions. Many people debated this situation, but Sarah was always in the right, even if some people felt like she had gone way too far with her revenge. After all, there was plenty of collateral damage.
Commentary
The Next Step
One question weighed heavily on plenty of people’s minds: where would Sarah go now? Many were questioning whether she would embark on her honeymoon as a solo voyage. Alex came under scrutiny too, just where had he disappeared off to? Would Alex ever decide to repent? Alex was probably miles away from the wedding venue, perhaps checking himself into hospital for shock. But Sarah still held court, and everyone was looking to her for answers.
The Next Step
Redeemable
Sarah certainly went through a nerve-racking and exhausting experience thanks to Alex. She certainly left this ordeal with a priceless lesson in hand: she discovered that self-love and care trumped anyone else’s needs. Sometimes, you need to be a little bit selfish in life, especially when your heart is at risk. Sarah faced her fears and took care of herself when challenged. We are very proud of her! She protected herself and took back her pride.

The Road Ahead
The Road Ahead
We really do hope that Sarah locates the right person for her in time. She definitely dodged a bullet by kicking Alex out of her life, but not every guy out there is rotten, she just needs to ensure that her next partner is honest and truly loves her. Granted, she might not be looking for new love for some time, perhaps preferring to grow as an individual and independent person. There was plenty to discover in life, all on her own.
Monster Bride
The canceling of weddings by petrified grooms or brides is actually quite a common event. Cold feet can strike anyone, with matrimony being a lifetime oath and commitment. Brides are prone to temporarily lose their minds when they become too obsessed with the small details and procedure of their dream day. You cannot expect how a person will behave under so much pressure, with an eternal dedication expected from them on the table. It is a huge amount of pressure.
Monster Bride
Sorrowful Updates
One Bridezilla booted her own sister from her entourage due to her pregnancy bringing unexpected dress alterations. After years of trying, the sister had finally fallen pregnant, which the monster bride deemed an awful coincidence. She was so worried that her perfect vision would be ruined by something as phenomenal as a pregnancy that she chopped her own sister out. Perhaps marriage just sends people over the edge, and some people cannot handle the attention being moved away from them.
Sorrowful Updates
Twists And Turns
This story would end up taking some crazy and tragic twists and turns. Sadly, the sibling of the bride would end up suffering a miscarriage, meaning that the bride would be wracked with guilt, beyond her sister’s misery and pain. Amazingly, the bride welcomed her sister back into the bridal affair. Their mother, on the other hand, became so furious and disgraced upon hearing of her daughter’s meanness that she pulled out of her funding!
Twists And Turns
The Husband-not-to-be
The Monster Bride became so hysterical throughout this prolonged ordeal that her partner also ended up pulling out! He had seen how, over many months, his wife-that-will-never-be had descended into madness. He obviously wanted no part in this chaos. The lesson here is that people really need to treat others better when planning their weddings, even though they tend to bring out the worst in people. Who knows, you might just end up meeting your partner’s true side!
