Jacqueline’s in-laws never accepted her. Their disdain was evident in every forced smile and cutting remark. So when her brother-in-law, Jack, unexpectedly asked her to bake a cake for his birthday, she dared to hope—maybe this was her chance to belong.

She poured her heart into the cake, crafting every detail with care. But when she arrived at the party, hope turned to horror.

“Bon Voyage!” banners glittered. The walls were lined with photos—of Tom, her husband, with another woman. This wasn’t a birthday party. It was his farewell celebration.

Jack’s smirk cut deep. “Nice cake,” he taunted. “Fits the theme.”

Tom emerged, his mistress clinging to his arm. “We need to talk,” he muttered.

Jacqueline’s heart pounded. He had already humiliated her—now he wanted her silence?

With icy precision, she smiled, then lifted the cake and slammed it into Jack’s chest. Gasps filled the room. Buttercream splattered.

“You’re right,” she said coolly. “It was perfect for the occasion.”

Days later, a message from her best friend lit up her phone: Tom’s girlfriend posted about the party… and someone sent it to his boss.

His job? Gone. His mistress? Gone. His dreams? Shattered.

A week later, Tom texted: I made a mistake.

Jacqueline’s lips curled into a satisfied smile. She snapped a picture of her empty cake stand and replied:

All out of second chances.

For the first time in years, she felt light. Free. And she wasn’t looking back.
