Kevin and Tania’s faces kept flashing before my eyes. I wanted to confirm my

suspicion, but my inner self vehemently denied it. There was no way I could

accept this truth. This can’t be true!

Kevin loved me. From the moment we met and got to know each other, to

falling in love and finally building our family with our three adorable children,

he had always showered me with affection. We had

er argued over the

past ten years, and his tender love had only strengthened my faith in him.

How could he possibly betray me? No, that’s impossible!

That being said, it wouldn’t make sense to accuse Tania either. I didn’t even

know her before she came to our house. There was no grudge between us

from the past or present, and she was definitely one of the highest–paid

professionals in her field.

seemed to be a competent and organized person. After graduating from

high school, she entered the profession and became an accomplished

housekeeper.

When I hired her, Kevin seemed somewhat unimpressed. He even asked me

privately, “Don’t you think she’s too young for the job? Can we trust her?”

“Does her age make her unreliable? She’s not only attractive but also skilled

at her job! She’s an accomplished housekeeper, you know. You’re being

overly cautious,” I replied. I even teased him, saying, “If anyone should be

worried, it’s me!”

He gently pinched my cheek and replied, “What are you thinking? Stop

worrying about such nonsense!” Then, he embraced me and playfully nibbled

on my earlobe, saying reassuringly, “Alright, as long as you’re comfortable

company every day. I’m just concerned that she’s young and might not stay

for long. In that case, we’ll have to replace a replacement soon. That would be

troublesome!”

To our surprise, Tania turned out to be very dedicated to her job. It had been

almost eight years since she started working for us! As far as I could

remember, we had gotten along well during these past eight years, and I

treated her like a sister. How could she possibly betray me? Besides, if she

were behind this, Kevin would have noticed that I wasn’t feeling right after

taking the medicine. He would have asked if it worked, and he would not

have… I couldn’t even bear to think about it.

I wasn’t sure if it was because I hadn’t taken the medicine or if the cat’s

condition had alarmed me, but one thing was certain–I wasn’t in my usual

lethargic state. Like a spirit awakened from confusion, I was unusually alert.

Every cell in my body was on edge, and I was extremely agitated.

Fear prevented me from closing my eyes. The night seemed endless, but

what chilled me even more was that no one came to check on mo, nor did

anyone ask if I had eaten.

I had to face the truth. In the past, I had been sleeping alone every day, with

no one caring about me. It seemed that Kevin didn’t care as much about me

as he appeared to. That night, for example, the care I had expected from him

was absent. Could he have become accustomed to my constant lethargy?

As the day slowly dawned, Ria, who had been sleeping deeply under the

blanket, gradually woke up. At first, its gaze was unfocused, and it weakly

meowed a couple of times. Then, after a while, it started moving its limbs. A

moment later, it stretched vigorously and rolled over, nestling against me

with its limbs tucked under its body. It returned to its original sleeping

Its state was eerily similar to how I felt every time I woke up, which deepened

my suspicions. Feeling utterly helpless, I pulled it to my chest, burying my

face in its soft fur while silently shedding tears. I didn’t understand why this

was happening. Who could be doing this to me?

After a long time, I looked up and gritted my teeth, telling myself I couldn’t just

sit around waiting for something terrible to happen. I had to replace out the truth!

With that decision, I realized I needed to be careful not to raise suspicions. I

had to continue pretending to sleep. First and foremost, I had to figure out

who had given me the medicine and their motive.

With these thoughts in mind, I clung to hope, wanting to believe that it was

Tania who did this. Perhaps, that would make it easier for me to accept

reality. However, life had a way of delivering a quick and harsh reality check. It

hurt so much that it seared through my bones, and the truth was much

crueler than I had imagined.
