When I married Michael, my childhood sweetheart, I thought I had found my happily ever after. I had no idea that when we got married, a dark family secret would come to light that would put our love and devotion to each other to the test.
It all began when Michael and I got back in touch after being apart for years. As kids, we explored our hometown together and told each other our darkest secrets. It became more than just a friendship as we talked about old times. Michael asked me to marry him before I knew it, and I gladly said yes.
Our wedding day was lovely and sunny, and we were surrounded by family and friends. But as we said our vows, I couldn’t get rid of the thought that something wasn’t right. Marianne, Michael’s mother, seemed especially cold and distant, and her smile didn’t seem real.
Strange things began to happen as we got used to our new life together. We had a lot of bad luck with our business, and I began to suspect that someone was trying to hurt me. Michael was helpful, but I could tell he was getting tense.
The truth started to come out when I came across a shocking conversation between Michael’s parents. Marianne had been changing things to make it look like our marriage was cursed, and she used her own crazy reasoning to support her actions.
It felt like the world had turned upside down. Why did Michael’s mom treat us this way? I told Michael the truth, and we both agreed that we would go to his folks and demand it.
The argument was tense and intense, and Marianne’s mask finally came off. Michael’s dad finally got the guts to stand up to her after being involved in her plans.
We were free from the bad relationship that had been affecting Michael’s family for a long time. I felt relieved and free. We had faced the evil head-on, and it made our love stronger.
Michael took my hand. He looked at me with eyes that were both sad and thankful. “I’m so sorry for everything,” he said really quietly.
I gave him a comforting squeeze on the hand. “All right, Michael. We’re free now. That’s the most important thing.
