After Emma moved into a bigger house with Mark, she noticed something strange while she was cleaning. There was a two-way mirror in the secret room, but she saw something no one wanted to see.
“Despite its age, this house will be ideal for our child, the surroundings are pleasant.
Once we get this sorted, it will be flawless. Mark, what do you think? The realtor asked Emma’s husband with a smile on his face.
Yes, I think it’s fine. It’s a fantastic offer. We’ll take it,” Mark mumbled. Even if he wasn’t too thrilled about it, at least Emma wouldn’t be pestering him to move into a bigger apartment. Mark wasn’t exactly thrilled about the baby he was expecting, but that was another story.
A month after completing all the paperwork, they moved in. Emma had to take things carefully because she was five months pregnant, so she started unpacking and cleaning the whole house one by one.
She started in the master bedroom, where the mirror on the wall caught her heart. It reached the floor and was huge. It was unlike anything she had ever seen. Emma almost mistook it for a door.
But she went to work and scrubbed everything thoroughly. She held out a small spike that she suddenly saw on the side of the mirror. “O!” she almost dropped it. The mirror opened. She exclaimed, “It’s the door!” “That’s crazy!”
The mirror was actually installed in the hidden entrance by the previous owner. Without it, we would never have found out! It looks like a movie, she exclaimed. Not even the realtor told them about it. However, Emma had to investigate.
She opened the door a little and peered in with the light on her phone. There was a chair in the corner of the small space. But then she noticed the opposite side of the two-way mirror as she turned to face the back of the door.
It seems that whoever built this house intended to eavesdrop on the occupants of the master bedroom.
That seems strange and scary, she thought. Emma then thought of something. Mark has become incredibly reserved since she became pregnant. According to her instincts, she sensed that something was wrong. Now was the time to learn. So she called him at work.
“Hi, love. I’m heading to my mom’s tonight, listen. She’s hoping to go to a girl’s night out. Maybe I should stay here. Is that okay?” Emma asked politely.
“Yeah, that’s great,” Mark replied before hanging up.
Emma entered the hidden chamber a few minutes early as he usually returned home at five o’clock. She thought: No, I forgot my phone.
Ms!
Before she could get out, the door closed in her face and she had no idea how to open it from the inside. She said, “I’m an idiot,” out loud. But until Mark came home, Emma had no choice but to wait. She waited while sitting on the chair.
Emma could hear his voice clearly, but it was accompanied by someone else. A female voice said, “Is this your house?” Emma walked over to the two-way mirror, trying to figure out who was talking. The woman and Mark then went into the master bedroom.
“Yes, Melissa. I hope it’s okay. I just moved in recently,” Mark said.
The woman said, “And you live alone in this big place?”
“I’ve always wanted to start a family and buy a big house. But I haven’t met my true love yet. You know, it could be you,” Mark continued, walking up to the woman. Emma’s heart shattered into a million pieces as she smiled at him.
They took their things to bed and started kissing. Emma thought He’s cheating on our bed. This is incredible! She tried not to hear what was happening as she closed her eyes. Mark later got up and left the bedroom. Melissa sat up on the bed and looked at her phone.
Then Emma didn’t see Mark, but she heard his voice. “Hey, honey, listen. I’ll get us pizza. It’s late for delivery at this time of night. You better get it.” He told her, “I’ll be right back.” and left
Emma felt she had to call Melissa despite her feelings or she would be stuck in the room indefinitely.
And so she started screaming, “Melissa! Melissa!
Melissa!”
Frightened, Melissa turned to try to find the source of the voice.
“Who is present? She shouted, “Where are you?” to nothing.
“My name is Emma, Melissa. My name is Mark’s wife. I am trapped behind the mirror, please.”
Can you please help me? The mirror is the entrance to the door and there is a protrusion on the side. Please help me,” Emma said.
Melissa hurried to open the mirror.
Emma got out of the car and gave Melissa a tearful look. “Are you really his wife?” Melissa asked, still taken aback. “Did he lock you in there?”
“My name is his husband. No, but he didn’t restrict me. Emma said, “I locked myself in there by accident,” and went into detail.
“That moron’s marriage is so unbelievable! I even gave him a few of my clients after he tricked me. “The paperwork was done,” Melissa said.
“I assume you work with him as a colleague?
Emma began, “Listen, if you’re willing to help me, I have an idea.” Melissa immediately agreed as Mark had tricked her into thinking she was “the other woman”.
Emma’s father’s estate prevented Mark from divorcing her even if Emma wanted to. He coveted her family’s wealth. However, Melissa was helpful in signing these documents. “Do you have any other clients he wants?” Emma asked.
Really. He looked at him for a while, but I always turned him down,” Melissa revealed.
“Okay, could you please act like nothing’s going on right now? Then I’ll give you my divorce papers in a moment. Could you have him sign them?” Emma asked.
“Of course I can! I’ll stop at nothing to make it up to you. He looks like a cheat and I hate people who cheat. Not to mention you’re pregnant!” Melissa continued angrily.
Emma and Mark were having dinner at home a month later, acting as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Emma was well aware that Melissa had cheated on him. Still, it was time to show off. “Did anything important happen at work today honey?” Emma grinned and asked slyly.
“No, not at all. Same old, same old,” Mark remarked indignantly.
“Is that so?” Melissa remarked as she entered the kitchen through the back door.
Mark’s expression paled.
“What? What are you doing at my place, Melissa? That’s out of place! I’ll let HR know about you. This is my colleague Emma.” Mark was at a loss for words when Melissa appeared out of nowhere.
“Mark, to be honest, I invited Melissa over. She has to give me some papers.”
The documents you signed today, actually,” Emma clarified. Melissa handed her the documents and reached into her purse.
“What? How are you spending your time? What’s going on?” Mark was confused, angry, and asking questions.
“What am I doing? I’m divorcing someone. You signed them today. Isn’t that fantastic?”
Yes, and just to clear your mind. Try not to contradict it. Emma revealed, “Because you can’t afford a lawyer on your salary and we have an iron ex-wife.”
“Now take off your things. This isn’t your house anymore,” Melissa said. The two women exchanged a smile.
Mark was forced to leave because he was unable to resist. After that, Emma and Melissa became very close friends. She was at Emma’s side when the baby was born. That person is Adeline Melissa. Say hello to your aunt, Addie,” Emma replied, glancing at her friend as Melissa smirked.
