Megan Henley - Who Are You? - With one click she found her perfect man. And he found his perfect victim. A true story of the ultimate deception.

It was a freakishly hot day for October, so I pulled a summer dress out of hibernation for the occasion. As we first walked towards each other at the spot on the Embankment where we’d arranged to meet, a huge gust of wind made a flurry of leaves rain down from the trees, falling around Christopher and making him look like he was in a scene from a film. He threw back his head and laughed.

‘I ordered that,’ he said, ‘and the sunshine!’

He had an infectious smile and we got on immediately. He was no Brad Pitt – actually, he must have taken about 800 pictures of himself before he got the one on his dating profile – but he had a twinkle in his eye and a lovely, soft voice. We sat on the edge of the harbour for a couple of hours, our legs dangling over the side, and felt the unseasonal sun beating down on our backs. We laughed and joked over a couple of glasses of wine, and the conversation flowed freely. I decided that he was a genuinely nice guy, and I didn’t resist when he leaned in to kiss me.

Our relationship was like a dream come true. It was a novel experience to have a boyfriend who wasn’t completely skint and who washed on a regular basis. Christopher often whisked me off for weekends, if my mum was available to look after Ruby, and we started to spend as much time as possible together, which meant that he was usually at my house if he was not working. I missed him terribly while he was away but I would frequently find the postman knocking on the door to deliver surprise presents from him. It was a fairytale romance and such a contrast to the struggles of the last few years.

Finally, in every way, things seemed to be coming right for me. Life was picture perfect and I was happy to be a good girl at last.
