The day I found a bag full of cash in our attic, my spouse vanished from our house.
Lily’s heart was fluttering with delight as she gazed at the positive pregnancy test, her hands quivering. She and Graham had been dreaming about being parents for years, and now their dream was finally going to come true. Excited about their forthcoming kid, Lily started setting up their home, picturing nurseries and baby showers.
Lily would find something that would totally unsettle and upset her as she began organizing the attic to make way for the nursery.
With her heart pounding with each stride, Lily climbed the rickety stairs leading to the attic while clinging to her flashlight. Dusty cobwebs fluttered in the ceiling as she moved into the poorly lit room, her eyes darting over the forgotten treasures stashed away in cardboard boxes and old trunks.
Lily spotted an old suitcase stuffed in a corner among these antiquities. Curious, she raised the lid and took a glimpse at what was within, her breath freezing in her throat.
Stacks of cash, all neatly fastened with rubber bands, met her horrified eyes. As Lily counted the crisp dollars, she felt the weight of the discovery crushing down on her, her mind whirling with shock.
She was left wondering a lot as she tried to figure out the significance of the bag full of cash hidden in their attic. Was Graham involved in any criminal activity? How in the world could they have amassed such wealth?
Shaking with shock at what she had discovered, Lily came out of the attic. She spoke to Graham out of concern that their seemingly perfect lives might be hiding some secrets.
Lily had no idea that what she had discovered would start a series of events that would upend their marriage by exposing long-kept secrets and presenting impossibly difficult problems.
