Saving Fiancé from Stalker

My sister got engaged, and I posted a congratulatory video on Instagram.

A friend who always said she'd never marry saw it and messaged me:

“Is the guy Niko Andrews from City Hospital?”

"Taller than six foot, 27 years old?"

"From a long line of doctors, and worth millions?"

I was about to ask how she knew these details when her next message popped up:

"Is the ceremony over yet? You’ve got to stop them!"

"Hand him over to me; I want him!"

==============================

I chuckled at her message and replied:

"Don't be ridiculous; it's my sister's big day."

No sooner had I sent it than my phone rang, her voice urgent.

"Who's joking? I'm serious!"

"Quick, give me the address; I'm coming over!"

"You need to stop them, don't let it happen!"

I hesitated, my smile freezing.

"Are you... serious?"

She's three years older than me, 34. She's always claimed she'd never marry or have kids. I thought she was joking initially, but while I got married and had kids, she stayed single. When my child was running around and she was still single, I realized she meant it. Her stance was unwavering.

Yet now...

After years of certainty, she suddenly wants to steal my sister’s fiancé. I can’t wrap my head around it, let alone agree with it. I hoped she'd burst out laughing and say,

"Gotcha! You totally fell for it!"

But no. Her high-pitched voice sliced through the silence.

"I'm dead serious! I've been eyeing him for months!"

"I got sick a month ago and ended up at the hospital where he attended to me."

"A star doctor from a great family, and easy on the eyes—exactly my type."

"After my appointment, I left him my contact info."

"I was inviting him to pursue me."

She paused, frustration seeping through her words.

"But that jerk never added me!"

"And not only did he ignore me, he got engaged to your sister behind my back!"

Her breath grew ragged with emotion.

"Don’t let them go through with it; this man is destined for me!"

She never mentioned any of this before, and hearing it now, it’s clear she doesn’t have a leg to stand on. She and my almost brother-in-law are practically strangers.

My mind scrambled before I tried reasoning with her.

"They’ve been dating for over two years; their relationship's solid."

"He won’t add you, and the engagement can’t be stopped. Please, take it easy..."

She cut me off sharply.

"Solid, my foot!"

"Your sister’s just a young girl with none of my qualities. She isn’t worthy of Niko!"

"Niko's only with her because he hadn’t met me!"

"They want to get engaged and keep up this charade? Not happening; I’ll put a stop to it!"

"Cut the nonsense and send me the address; I’m already hailing a cab!"

The fog in my brain started to lift, and I frowned.

My sister graduated from Cambridge, works at a top corporation, earning over 4,000 pounds monthly. Her fiancé pursued her, not the other way around.

Unworthy, fooled...

What rubbish!

My sister is more than a match for my future brother-in-law!

She used to be rational, but today she's acting out of character.

I replied, my voice firm.

"My sister’s not as bad as you make her out to be! She and my future brother-in-law are perfect together!"

"I won't give you the address; don’t even think about coming!"

I was about to hang up when she shouted.

"Aadhya Lawrence, don’t you dare!"

"This is about my future happiness! If you block me from marriage, we’re finished!"

"Send me the address, right now! Don’t make me regret it!"

Unbelievable!

Just because he's your type doesn't mean you're his.

You haven't even swapped contact info; you're not even acquaintances.

There's no basis for happiness or marriage.

I ended the call abruptly, leaving her to cool off.
