Lily believes Mark wants to sell their cherished home to make room for their future family. But a cryptic message from his ex-girlfriend leads her to the attic, and her world turns upside down as she learns the real reason behind his push to move.
“We need more space if we want to start a family, Lily,” Mark said. “This place is too small.”
Sitting on the porch swing, I thought about our cozy home, a gift from my parents. But Mark painted a picture of a larger house, a nursery, and a backyard for our children. Reluctantly, I agreed to sell.
As we packed, an unknown number texted me, “I’m happy Mark finally confessed. You deserve the truth.” It was Claire, his ex, telling me to check the attic.
In the attic, I found documents revealing Mark’s huge debts and failed business. He hadn’t wanted a bigger house for our future; he needed money to pay off debts. Heartbroken, I confronted him and left, knowing I deserved better.
