Hey there, I’m Nikki, and I have a tale about how karma sometimes needs a little nudge. It all started when I saw my ex-fiancé at a fancy restaurant with another woman. What was meant to be an ordinary night out for me turned into the perfect chance for sweet revenge.
Let me give you some background first. About five years ago, I was engaged to a guy named Mark. We had been together for three years, and I was head-over-heels in love with him. You know the kind—the kind where you can’t picture your life without that special someone.

Mark seemed to feel the same way and always reassured me of his love. We were neck-deep in wedding plans, and I was ecstatic to start our new life together until, out of nowhere, he ended it. Yes, you heard that right. He broke up with me.
His reason? I apparently “wasn’t good enough for him.” He had just gotten a big promotion and decided that I didn’t fit his new image. Completely absurd, right?

He said he needed someone more polished, someone posh—basically, someone who wasn’t me. According to him, I lacked ambition and drive, and he wanted a partner who met his new “high standards.” This crushed me. I was devastated, drowning in self-pity for months.
Putting myself back together was a herculean task. Everywhere I looked, I saw reminders of Mark, of us, and our time together. The pain lingered, and so did the memories.

Fast forward to now: I’m 35, happily single, and excelling in my career. Last Saturday, I decided to treat myself to a meal at a swanky new restaurant in town.
As I approached the entrance, who else did I see inside? None other than Mark! He was laughing and dining with some stunning woman, looking as smug as ever.

I knew I couldn’t let this moment slip by. I had to warn her about him in a way he’d never foresee. Fueled by anger and inspiration, I stepped into the restaurant.
Calling over a waiter, I donned a sweet smile and asked, “Could you do me a favor? See that man at that table? That’s my ex-fiancé. Could you help me execute a little prank?”

The waiter’s eyes twinkled with mischief. “What did you have in mind?” he asked, intrigued.
“First, let’s send over a bottle of your most expensive champagne with a note,” I suggested, already feeling a thrill.
He nodded. “What should the note say?”
“To Mark, who always settles for second best,” I replied, grinning. The waiter chuckled and went off to set the plan in motion.

From my table, I savored the moment as the waiter presented the bottle and the note to Mark. His face turned crimson, and his date looked utterly confused. I watched him trying to explain, but she didn’t seem convinced.
For my next move, I upped the ante. Calling the waiter over once more, I said, “Now, let’s send them an appetizer—something he’s highly allergic to. And another note.”

The waiter raised an eyebrow but didn’t question me. “What should this note say?”
“Just a reminder of what you can’t have,” I said, feeling wicked. He nodded and carried out my request.
The appetizer arrived, and from the look on their faces, my plan was succeeding beyond my wildest dreams. The woman went from confused to irritated, while Mark appeared on the brink of losing his calm.

For the grand finale, I needed backup. Quickly, I phoned my friend Sarah, who lived nearby. “Sarah, can you come to the new restaurant downtown? I need you for a little revenge scenario.”
Sarah made it within 20 minutes, just as Mark seemed ready to crack. She approached their table, pretending to recognize him.

“Oh my God, Mark!” she exclaimed loudly. “Haven’t seen you since that dating seminar last month. How’s your fiancée? Did she agree to the open relationship?”
The whole restaurant went silent. His date looked horrified. “What is she talking about, Mark?” she demanded.

Mark stammered, trying to explain, but the damage was beyond repair. “Clara, it’s not what it sounds like,” he blurted out. “She’s just joking.”
Clara’s eyes narrowed. “A joke? About an open relationship? Really?” She grabbed her purse and stood up. “I can’t believe I wasted my time on you.”

She stormed out while Mark stood there, red-faced and furious. I couldn’t resist one final jab. Walking over, I sweetly said, “Hi Mark. Guess I wasn’t so ‘not good enough’ after all, huh?” His jaw dropped, but no words came out.
Feeling triumphant, I left the restaurant, my heart racing but light with victory. Outside, I took a deep breath of the crisp night air, feeling freer than I had in years.

Days later, a mutual friend told me that Clara had dumped Mark that same night. He’s been trying to figure out what went wrong ever since. Meanwhile, I’ve moved forward, happier than ever.

And that’s my story. Revenge can be oh-so-sweet, especially when it comes with a side of delicious humiliation. Don’t you agree? Thanks for reading!
Much like Nikki, Phoebe’s picture-perfect life was shattered by a shocking discovery. But instead of letting anger consume her, she decided to reclaim her freedom and future, all while her husband remained oblivious to her scheme.

Deception, betrayal, and a meticulously crafted revenge plot are the heart of my story. I thought I knew my husband until I discovered his online antics. Little did he know, his secret affairs were about to become the key to my freedom.
The day my friend sent me a link to my husband’s Tinder profile, my heart plummeted. Dexter, my husband of ten years, was out there posing as a single man, swiping left and right. Fury, confusion, and betrayal hit me like a freight train.

In the days that followed, my anger turned cold and calculating. A confrontation wouldn’t solve anything, especially since I had no financial independence after years of homemaking.
I needed a plan. I created a fake Tinder account with photos of a random woman—let’s call her Leah. Setting up was easy, but I was nervous about adding Dexter’s profile.
