Chapter 2: The Confession He Never Meant Me to Find

Part 2 — continued from the comments ⬇️
My hands were shaking.
I read the first paragraph again.
Then again.
Hoping I had misunderstood.
I hadn't.
The letter wasn't a love letter.
It was a confession.
He had written it the night before our wedding — and he had never meant for me to find it.
*"There's something I never told you,"* it began.
*"Something I should have said before things went this far.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know how."*
I sat down on the floor right there in the hallway.
My mind went straight to his mother.
Her cold eyes at that dinner.
The way she had asked him if he was "sure." Had she known something I didn't?
I heard the front door open.
He was home early.
I looked down at the letter in my hands, then back up at the hallway.
He hadn't seen me yet.
And in that moment, I realized — whatever was written on the next page was going to change everything I thought I knew about our marriage.

What did the letter say — and did he know she found it?
