For 3 years of marriage, she was not allowed to touch her husband even once, until one day she opened the camera in her mother-in-law’s room and was shocked to see the shocking truth. Married for 3 years without touching her husband even once, until one day she turned on the camera in her mother-in-law’s room and was shocked to see the shocking truth
Elena Carter, 29 years old, has been married for three years to Michael Reynolds, a quiet, successful and seemingly perfect man. They live in a two-story old house in the suburbs of Salem, Massachusetts, with his mother-in-law, Margaret.
But Elena’s three years of marriage were three years of absolute coldness. Michael never hugged his wife, never kissed her, never got close. Every time she tried to step closer, he just whispered:
“I’m just tired, Elena.
Maybe tomorrow.”
That “tomorrow” lasted for three years. The strange thing was, every night, Michael disappeared from the bedroom. He said he went downstairs to work or slept in the living room so as “not to disturb” Elena.
Margaret always smiled meaningfully:
“You know, Michael often comes to my room to check if I take my medicine regularly. He’s very good.”
Their old house always had a strange atmosphere – warm on the outside but with a creepy feeling hidden inside. Margaret’s room – room 204 on the second floor – was always locked whenever she went out.
Elena once asked her husband:
“Have you ever seen anything special in my room?”
Michael just replied softly:
“It’s just her personal space. Don’t go there.”
But since installing a security camera in the house, Elena began to notice a strange habit: every two hours or so, her mother-in-law would call Michael into her room. Each time, the door would stay closed for 15–20 minutes.
When he came out, he looked tired, his eyes were empty, as if he had just fallen from another world. One night, when Michael went down to the garage, Elena curiously opened the security camera app on her phone – the system Margaret had asked to install herself. The camera in her mother-in-law’s room was only for “health monitoring,” but what she saw made her blood run cold.
The screen showed Margaret sitting in a chair across from Michael, the light dim, the walls covered with faded family photos. Her voice was low and steady…“Tell me again, Michael. What do you remember from that night?”
Michael sat still, his voice trembling:
“The fire… Dad screaming… you holding the candle…”
“No,” she interrupted, her voice hissing.
