I have been married to Alex for five years. During the first year of our marriage, we lived at his parents’ house. But then, we bought our own apartment, and since then, we’ve been living separately.
However, throughout all this time, my mother-in-law continued to visit us, always unannounced. Every time she came over, she brought small boxes for my husband.
After receiving them, he would always retreat to his room for some time. He never told me what was inside. At first, I respected his space, but over time, my curiosity got the better of me. I was desperate to find out what was inside.
One day, when my mother-in-law came over, I noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense. I even heard her clearly say that I should never know what was in the boxes. That’s when I decided it was time to find out more.
This time, I had to discover what was inside those mysterious boxes. What I found out left me deeply shocked…
I had finally decided to snoop around, to uncover what my husband was hiding so jealously.
The next day, while he was at the gym, I seized the opportunity.
I took the small box he had received a few days ago, wondering what it could possibly contain.
When I opened it, my heart tightened.
Inside were several photos… but not photos of us, not of a happy marriage.
No, there were pictures of a child, a little boy with bright eyes.
He seemed familiar, but I couldn’t place him.
I studied the photos from every angle.
Then, a wave of terror hit me when I realized that the child in the pictures looked a lot like Alex.
That’s when everything started to fall into place in my mind.
Alex had a child, and that explained everything.
The way he would retreat to his room, his silence, the secret visits from my mother-in-law.
It all made sense now, but why had he kept the truth from me?
