Even though it was just another day, there was excitement in the house—Daniel was introducing us to his fiancée, Cindy. We prepared a special dinner, ready to celebrate. But when I met Cindy, a chill ran through me. Her face was eerily familiar from a news story about a con artist.

Trusting my instincts, I tricked Cindy into the basement and locked the door, urging my husband to call the police. Though Daniel protested, officers quickly discovered her true identity: Lisa Grant, wanted for fraud and theft in three states.

Daniel was devastated, realizing he had been deceived. The betrayal hurt deeply, but we were grateful to have uncovered the truth before more harm was done.

In the weeks that followed, Daniel slowly healed. For me, it was a powerful reminder to always trust my instincts—and that a mother’s intuition can sometimes make all the difference.
