<\/p>\nFreya was eager to start her new life as a newlywed when she moved into her husband George\u2019s ancestral home. However, when Valerie, the housemaid, hinted at George\u2019s hidden life, their marriage vows quickly began to unravel.<\/p>\n
Just off the high of our wedding, I moved into George\u2019s grand family home \u2014 a place that seemed lifted from a storybook with its towering ceilings, elegant arches, and gardens blooming with flowers. George had been keen on me settling in before we jetted off to our honeymoon in the South of France.<\/p>\n
But not all was as idyllic as it appeared. From the start, Valerie, the maid, cast glances my way that seemed to shout, \u201cYou\u2019re an outsider.\u201d Despite the chill in her gaze, I was determined to make this my new home. Valerie would just have to accept that.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A few days after moving in, I decided to prepare a big breakfast for everyone in the house, including George\u2019s younger siblings who still lived there.<\/p>\n
While I bustled around the kitchen, Valerie watched my every move with sharp eyes as she cleaned around me. Her presence made me uneasy. When I went to grab my phone to look up a recipe, it was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n
\u201cHave you seen my phone?\u201d I asked Valerie, sure it had been right there on the table.<\/p>\n
She simply shook her head without looking up.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d get breakfast ready quickly if I were you,\u201d she remarked coldly. \u201cThe family will be down soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Heeding her advice, I focused on finishing the breakfast. After she left the kitchen, I found my phone on the seat she had just vacated. But it was the message on the screen that flipped my world upside down:<\/p>\n
\u201cCheck your husband\u2019s drawer. The top left one. Then RUN!\u201d<\/p>\n
Heart racing, I hurried to our bedroom, replaying the warning in my mind. Valerie had already tidied up our room by then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
