Freya’s journey into her married life with George began with the promise of love and happiness but quickly unraveled into a web of deception and betrayal. When she moves into George’s family home, she is greeted by the opulence of the surroundings, unaware of the secrets lurking beneath the surface. An ominous warning from the maid Valerie hinted at a hidden truth that threatened to shatter Freya’s newfound wedded bliss.
As Freya navigated the complexities of her new role in the household, she couldn’t shake the sense of uneasiness that accompanied Valeria’s icy demeanor. Her suspicions are heightened when a cryptic message on her phone leads her to discover George’s hidden drawer, revealing a pile of letters addressed to another woman, Elena. With each revelation, Freya’s world crumbled, exposing the facade of her marriage to George.
When Freya was ready to start her married life, she moved into her husband George’s family home.
But their vows were about to fall apart when the maid Valerie told Frey about George’s secret existence.
After the wedding, I moved into my husband’s family home, which looked like something out of a fantasy book. It was decorated all around with flowers, arches, fountains, and lofty ceilings.
Before we left for our honeymoon in the South of France, George wanted me to move in and settle down.
However, nothing was as it seemed.
The maid Valerie gave me a look from day one that said, “You don’t belong here.” I tried to ignore it because I was here. That will be Valeria’s problem.
After a few days of settling in, I made my new family breakfast. I was prepared for a big splash because the house was huge and George’s younger brother and sister still lived there.
Valerie washed the countertops and stood with me in the kitchen watching everything I did. I felt uncomfortable with her. My phone was missing as I reached across the table to find it so I could look up different egg recipes.
“Did you see my phone?” Believing it was on the table in front of Valeria, I asked.
Valerie shook her head and glanced at me.
“I’d rush breakfast if I were you,” she remarked icily. “The family expects it on the table before they come down.
Valerie left the kitchen as I finished my breakfast as per her suggestion.
After a while, I discovered my phone on the chair Valerie had just left. However, the text displayed on the screen completely changed my view:
Check your husband’s drawer. especially the one on the top left. Then screw!
Heart pounding, I headed to our bedroom as the cautionary tale replayed in my mind. Valerie put away the things we had thrown on the floor the night before and made the bed while I was out.
I felt a wave of fear wash over me and stopped before pulling out the drawer. When I opened it, I had no idea what would happen. I had no idea what secrets George was hiding from me.
Inside I discovered an antique key and a stack of letters tied with fading ribbon. My husband wrote the letters that were addressed to Elena.
I read every letter as I sat on our bed; they were all about the future and the love that George had promised to someone else.
With each syllable, my heart broke a little more. The last letter was a farewell; according to the date, it was written three days before George’s proposal to me.
What about the key?
“Do you know what the key is for?” When I noticed that nothing would fit in our room, I just asked Ivy, George’s younger sister.
She looked at the key and remarked, “Oh, I think it’s in the attic,” George loved that room, so it must be that way. I don’t know why, but it always felt so gloomy and draughty. It’s been years since I’ve been there.”
I reached the attic and saw that it was just as drafty and dark as Ivy had described.
But the moment I turned on the light, my blood froze in my veins.
The walls of the room were lined with pictures of my husband and a woman who looked like Elena. Their love was evident in every image, radiating from the paper.
It was making fun of me. It made fun of our union.
It made fun of every emotion I felt for George.
Before my knees gave out, I sat down in the lone chair in the room and observed my surroundings. At that moment, my gaze happened to land on the ultrasound that was mounted on the wall below the picture of George and Elena dancing in the courtyard.
George and Elena were expecting a baby. They were, of course.
How he could keep this from me for so long baffled me.
It was one thing to know the truth about Elena, but to hide the child from me?
That was simply unthinkable.
As I went through each picture, I couldn’t help but wonder how George could leave Elena while she was carrying his child.
A small voice asked, “Freya?” from the door.
“Valerie,” I said, suddenly realizing I shouldn’t have been there.
She said, “You shouldn’t have found out this way,” in a compassionate whisper.
“Did you know about it?” unsure how to approach her, I asked.
She nodded slowly.
I’m Elena’s sister. She believed you should know the truth. I cleaned up this morning and put the letters she gave me in George’s drawer.’
“And the child?” I asked, shaking a little.
Valerie told me about Elena while leaning against the wall. Elena was invited by Valerie to help clean up two years ago when the family organized their annual Christmas party.
“They clicked instantly. They fell in love afterward. However, George refused to communicate with Elena after she learned about the child and his illness.”
According to Valerie, George was ready to marry Elena out of love, but when he learned that the child had Down syndrome, he considered them a burden.
“He assured Elena that he would intercede for her and help his family see that she was more than just a housewife.
However, circumstances have changed.”
We all continued together into the living room where George was nowhere to be found and the family was resting. I told his parents about the attic with photos and letters.
Valerie informed them of Elena’s pregnancy.
When we finished, George entered the living room, making it clear that he had heard someone else’s speech.
His father asked, staring at my husband, “Is it true?”
George was silent, which was a damning admission.
Family feuds broke out fairly quickly. George’s inheritance was frozen and was now being used to help Elena and her unborn child.
and I?
George didn’t even bother to fight for his divorce; he was too damaged to fight for it. I was granted a divorce. Using the funds earmarked for George, my in-laws gave me a fresh start.
To make sure that the foundation I laid for Elena’s baby was a real victory, I sold some of them. foundation serving children with disabilities. Valerie is currently in charge of it with the help of Georg’s mother, who disowned her son as soon as she found out about the baby.
How would you answer if you were me?
Here’s another story for you: Elena works as a maid in a big house. The lord and owner of the estate falls in love with Elena after some unexpected events, but what can Elena do when so many obstacles stand in the way of her finding true love?
The conclusion of Freya’s harrowing ordeal reveals a tale of betrayal, heartbreak, and ultimately redemption. When she uncovers her husband George’s deception, her world shatters, revealing a facade of love built on a foundation of lies.

The fallout from Freya’s discovery took its toll on Georg’s family, leading to a showdown that saw his inheritance redirected to Elena and her child. In a remarkable show of solidarity, Freya’s relatives decided to stand by Elena’s side, disowning their son in favor of supporting those he had harmed.
As Freya embarked on a new chapter in her life, she found solace in giving back to those in need.
