Emma and Mark had just moved into a larger house, hoping it would be the perfect place for their growing family. But as Emma was cleaning one day, she made a chilling discovery—a hidden room with a two-way mirror. What she saw next would change everything.
“The house may be a bit old, but it’ll be great for the baby,” Emma said optimistically as they toured the property. “It’s a nice neighborhood. Once we fix it up, it’ll be perfect. What do you think, Mark?” she asked her husband.
Mark shrugged, less enthusiastic. “Yeah, it’s fine. We’ll take it.”
Mark wasn’t excited about the house—or the baby on the way—but Emma was determined to make the best of it. After all the paperwork was finalized, they moved in. Emma, five months pregnant, began the slow process of unpacking and cleaning. While tidying up the master bedroom, she noticed the large floor-to-ceiling mirror on the wall.

Later that evening, Emma waited in the secret room, hoping to catch a glimpse of what Mark was really up to. But before she could rethink her plan, the door slammed shut, locking her inside.
Stuck in the hidden room, she could hear Mark’s voice through the two-way mirror. “This is your place?” a woman’s voice asked. Emma’s heart sank as she pressed her face to the glass.
“Yeah, Melissa. I just moved in,” Mark responded.
“And you live here alone?” Melissa asked, moving closer to him.
Emma’s stomach twisted as she watched Mark lean in and kiss her. They quickly moved to the bed—Emma’s bed. She couldn’t bear to watch but had no choice. Her worst fears had been confirmed. Mark was cheating.
