My spouse disappeared from our home on the day I discovered a suitcase full of cash in our attic.

Lily’s hands were shaking as she looked at the positive pregnancy test, her heart fluttering with delight. She and Graham were finally going to become parents, something they had been dreaming for for years. Lily began organizing their home for their impending baby, envisioning nurseries and baby showers, as she was overcome with excitement.

When Lily started sorting through the attic to prepare room for the nursery, she came upon something that would completely upend and unnerve her.

Lily, her pulse thumping with every step, braved the rickety steps to the attic, holding tight to her flashlight. She made her way through the dimly lighted room, her eyes darting over the forgotten treasures hidden away in cardboard boxes and ancient trunks while dusty cobwebs swayed in the rafters.

Among these artifacts, Lily noticed an old suitcase tucked away in a corner. She lifted the lid out of curiosity, and as she took a peek at what was within, her breath froze in her throat.

Her shocked eyes were met by stacks of cash, all neatly secured with rubber bands. Lily felt the weight of the finding bearing down on her as she counted the crisp dollars, her mind racing with astonishment.

She was left with a lot of questions as she attempted to understand the significance of the money-filled bag concealed in their attic. Was Graham up to any illegal activities? How could they have accumulated so much wealth?

Lily emerged from the attic, her hands trembling from the shock of what she had found. Fearing that there might be secrets hidden behind their seemingly ideal life, she addressed Graham.

Lily had no idea that her discovery would set off a chain of events that would shake their marriage to its foundation, revealing long-kept secrets and posing impossible challenges.
