My heart stopped when I opened my husband’s drawer the day after moving in

Eleanor’s wedding to George resembled the one from the movies. The venue, the gown, the reception… everything was perfect. The day was more than anything she had ever wished for.

She knew he was the one the moment she first laid eyes on him and it didn’t take long before he popped the question. She accepted his marriage proposal with a resounding “yes.”

Eleanor felt that George rushed the things between them, but she was convinced he did that because he was in love with her as much as she was with him.

Following the wedding, Eleanor moved in with George and his family. He, his parents, and his younger siblings lived in a huge mansion with plenty of rooms and an enormous garden filled with flowers.

Life felt good.

On the first morning in her new home, Eleanor woke up early because she wanted to prepare breakfast for the family. She entered the kitchen and asked from the maid, Tina, to help her get all the ingredients she needed. Tina, however, didn’t seem like a friendly lady. She took some eggs out of the fridge and handed them to Eleanor, telling her to hurry up with the breakfast because the family wanted it ready when they get downstairs.

Tina’s starring made Eleanor uncomfortable. It was obvious she didn’t like her, but Eleanor didn’t pay much attention because no matter what the maid thought of her, she was there to stay.

At one moment, Eleanor reached for her phone, but it wasn’t on the kitchen counter where she had put it.

When she asked Tina if she had seen it, she said she hadn’t and fled the kitchen.

Tina’s behavior was rather strange, and it became even stranger when Eleanor noticed her phone on the stool on which Tina was sitting. When she took it, she noticed a message on the screen that read, “Check your husband’s drawer. The top left one, specifically. Then RUN!

Eleanor’s heart started pounding. Was George keeping a secret from her?

At first, she ignored Tina’s message and continued preparing the breakfast, but once the entire family was downstairs and started eating, she went back to the room and opened the drawer. Inside, there was a stack of letters. They were all written by George to someone named Elena.

It was obvious she was someone he was deeply in love with because each of the words written in them spoke volumes about his affection for that woman. What was really strange was that the last letter was sent shortly after he and Eleanor started dating. Under the stack of letters, there was an ultrasound image. Was this woman expecting George’s child?

Eleanor experienced a rollercoaster of emotions. As she was trying to collect herself, she heard Tina’s voice.

“Eleanor, I thought you deserved to know the truth,” she said in a soft voice. “Elena is my sister. She and George met two years ago, when she and I were hired to clean this house.”

Apparently, George fell for Elena the moment he met her and the two started seeing each other. He wanted to marry her and envisioned a future with her, but everything changed when he learned the child she was carrying had Down Syndrome.

From that moment on, he cut all ties with her.

Elena didn’t want anything from George, she just wanted his wife to see what kind of person he was, that’s why she asked from Tina to give the letters to Eleanor.

Devastated and utterly heartbroken, Eleanor went to the kitchen and told George’s parents about his child, asking them if they knew they had a grandson.

His parents were shocked. They had no idea George was dating someone and that the woman had given birth to a child with Down Syndrome.

They needed time to process the information because they were totally overwhelmed by the discovery and by their son’s decision to abandon Elena and his child.

Eleanor moved in with her sister the following day, and over the course of a few weeks, she was told that George’s parents disowned him.

They got in touch with Elena and met their grandchild. What’s most, they left him with no money and redirected his inheritance to support Elena and her baby. Eleanor, who divorced George, was also given assets by her former in-laws.

She sold most of them and bought herself a tiny apartment. With the rest, she started a foundation for children with Down Syndrome and put Tina in charge of it.
