She was happy. She was contented. She was satisfied. She was happy with her life. Finally, the dream of having a family on her own finally happened. She was glad about it. She was happy. And so was her husband. Their love created a miracle they always wanted in their life. They had a baby daughter. She was in cloud nine. She couldn't wish for anything more. In all honesty, she deserved it, she deserved it for being a good person. A good human being. She gave for the poor, helped people. Her simple wish of becoming a mother finally came to her and she was so happy about that. Top it off with a loving husband. Who took care of her everyday, who cared for her everyday, who loved her so much. She was in paradise with her family.

But despite all the joy, there is one thing that is creeping her. The door to her husband's room that is always locked. Nobody else could enter except for Donovan. There was one time she tried to enter but she was caught by Donovan who was totally mad about it. And ever since then, he also kept his room locked. Not even her could enter the room. Ever since then, she never laid a hand on that door. But one night, she decided to go for a little adventure. She had her husband's room key, and unlocked the room and finally the misterious door came into view. She then finally decided to open the misterious door. Not knowing that was her terrible mistake.

What do you think happened next?

Did she survive?

Did she die?

Did she find out about Donovan's long hidden secret?

Maybe?

Maybe not?

Nothing lasts forever they say.

Not even secrets.

(Margaret's POV)

She opened her eyes and signed softly. She felt his arms around her waist as he breathed softly. She smiled softly and slowly looked at him. There he was, Donovan. Her loving husband. He probably came home late last night. She could already tell. She slowly turned her body towards him. Fingers caressing his soft cheek. He squirmed softly and he held her hand and placed a gentle kiss on her palm. Then slowly opening his eyes. Revealing his beautiful green eyes. She smiled softly and he smiled back.

Margaret: Goodmorning.

Donovan: Morning baby.

She smiled softly and kissed his lips. After a few seconds, they pulled away. She leaned even closer to Donovan. He wrapped his arms around her tightly and kissed her head. Caressing her soft hair. She smiled softly. Caressing his bare chest.

Margaret: Did you come home late last night?

Donovan: *Sighs* Yeah. I had to finish some things at the office.

Margaret: You work too much.

Donovan: I like it.

Margaret: Staying late at night isn't.

Donovan: Yeah I know. Gosh today I have a meeting with a client.

Margaret: What time?

Donovan: Around three o'clock this afternoon.

Margaret: Well you got plenty of time.

Donovan: Yeah. But I'm afraid I have to go to the office today. I still have some things left to do. Gotta finish it before the deadline.

Margaret: Okay. But not too much okay? What do you want for lunch? I'll cook lunch for you.

Donovan: Something rather simple. I don't wanna bother you.

Margaret: Baby it's fine. It's the least I could do for you.

Donovan: Thanks love.

Margaret: Sure.
