Jim’s world had been shattered when he lost his wife, Karen, leaving him to raise their daughter Amy on his own. For years, he didn’t believe he could ever feel happiness again. But when he met Emily, hope slowly crept back into his life. After a few years of dating, Jim proposed, believing Emily would be a perfect addition to their family. Amy, just nine years old, had welcomed Emily with open arms, and Jim thought everything would be perfect.

However, as their wedding approached, Emily’s insecurities surfaced. On the big day, Jim overheard Emily’s bridesmaids discussing a plan to lock Amy in the dressing room—Emily couldn’t bear seeing Karen’s likeness in Amy’s eyes. Jim was livid. He couldn’t believe Emily would scheme to hurt his daughter, the very heart of his world.

Right there, at the altar, Jim called off the wedding in front of everyone, declaring, “No one will ever come between us, sweetheart.”

The next day, over breakfast, Amy asked if Jim was sure he made the right decision. Without hesitation, Jim replied, “Yes, darling. You are my happiness.” And with that, he knew he had done right by his daughter, ensuring that love and loyalty would always come first.
