I’m Nikki, and I have a story to share about how karma sometimes needs a little nudge. One routine night turned into the perfect opportunity for revenge when I spotted my ex-fiancé, Mark, dining with another woman at an exclusive restaurant.
Five years ago, Mark called off our engagement, saying I “wasn’t good enough” after his promotion. He wanted someone more cultured. Though it hurt, I moved on.
Fast forward to last Saturday: Mark, now 35 and still single, was at a new restaurant. I seized the moment to play a prank. I had the waiter deliver a bottle of champagne with a note that read, “To Mark, who always settles for second best.” His date looked puzzled as Mark’s face turned red.
Knowing he’s allergic to appetizers, I sent one over with a message, “Just a reminder of what you can’t have.” Mark struggled to explain this to his increasingly annoyed date.
For the final act, I called my friend Sarah. She walked over and loudly asked, “How’s your fiancée? Did she finally agree to an open relationship?” Clara, Mark’s date, was horrified and stormed out.
I couldn’t resist approaching Mark’s table with a sweet smile. “Hello, Mark. I guess I wasn’t so ‘not good enough’ after all.” Then, I triumphantly walked out of the restaurant.
A few days later, I learned that Clara and Mark had broken up. Sometimes, getting even is indeed satisfying—especially with a bit of humiliation involved. Thanks for reading!
