Liam and I had what seemed like a solid marriage, but after a miscarriage, he grew distant.

I later discovered him with my childhood best friend, Daria — half-dressed and laughing in my kitchen.

Too drained to fight, I simply told them to leave, filed for divorce, and cut ties.

He stayed with her, flaunting their relationship online while I rebuilt my life from scratch..

Two years later, while closing my restaurant, I heard a familiar voice.

Liam and Daria stood there, mocking me as if I were still struggling.

They laughed about me working “menial jobs” — until I told them I owned the place,

had designed it, hired the staff, and was fully booked for weeks.

Their smug faces froze instantly.

When they demanded a table, I refused.

The next day, a one-star review from them popped up,

calling me “bitter.” I replied publicly,

explaining I’d declined service to rude, disrespectful customers.

My regulars rallied, flooding the page with five-star reviews and praise.

A local food blogger even called it “justice served hot.” Business soared.

As for Liam and Daria, they vanished from my life again.

Now, I’m engaged to my head chef, Mark —

kind, steady, and nothing like my ex.

When I told him the story, he grinned and said they got exactly what they deserved.

I just smiled. “It’s not revenge,”

I told him. “It’s dessert.”
