My wife and boyfriend have a birthday, let me prepare a gift, and I said Don't worry, I promise you both love
Sounds like a great idea. My wife, Emily, is everything in my life, and her best friend, Tom, is also our mutual friend. The three of us often go out to eat, watch movies, and have quality time together. But there was one thing that made me feel a little uneasy – Tom's attitude towards my wife sometimes struck me a little strange.
I'm not sure if it's just a delusion on my part, but Tom is always especially attentive to Emily whenever we go out together. He would pour her wine, pull out a chair for her, and even when we were talking to each other, his eyes would always be on her. I tried to convince myself that it was just a friendly gesture, but I always had some doubts in my mind.
But now is not the time to think about that. After all, it's Tom's birthday, and we're getting a special surprise party in the works for him. I discussed with Emily that we were going to give him a custom handmade leather wallet because we knew he had always wanted one.
On party day, everything is ready to go. Emily and I couldn't wait for Tom to arrive. When he walked in the door, we immediately greeted him and congratulated him on his happy birthday. I noticed that his eyes flickered brightly when he saw my wife, but I chose to ignore that.
The party went on very well. We drank, ate food, chatted and laughed. However, when I was about to take out the gift, I found that my wallet was missing. I searched the whole room, but it was like it was gone. I felt a panic in my heart and I didn't know what to do.
Just as I was feeling hopeless, I saw a corner of Tom's pocket with the edge of the leather exposed. My heart sank to the bottom all at once. I couldn't believe that he had stolen our gifts. I felt angry and heartbroken. I've always thought of him as a good friend, but I didn't expect him to do such a thing.
I decided to confront him on the spot. I walked up to him, opened his pocket, and pulled out my wallet. His face flushed with explanation. But I've heard enough excuses. I shouted at him, "Do you think I don't know? You stole our gifts! What do you think? ”
Tom's expression began to grow sly. He told me that he didn't really steal the present, but wanted to surprise Emily in a special way. He claimed that he knew she had always wanted a handmade leather purse, so he wanted to secretly buy it and give it to her. I didn't know if I should trust him, but the anger in my heart began to fade slowly.
However, just then, a scream broke the silence of the room. We turned our heads and saw Emily standing there, pointing to a bag on the ground. When I got closer, I couldn't believe my eyes.
What was in the bag turned out to be a knife.
I remembered that Emily had told me a few days ago that she had found a knife at Tom's house, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. However, now it seems, everything has become clear. I understood Tom's true intentions. He wasn't there to surprise Emily, but he had a darker purpose.
I lunged at Tom and pushed him to the ground. He struggled to escape, but I grabbed him and said to him, "What the hell are you trying to do?" Why did you bring a knife to our party? ”
Tom's eyes began to grow wild. He told me that he had always loved Emily and that I was just a being who stood in his way. He said he wanted to get rid of me and be with Emily and live happily ever after. I couldn't believe my ears when I heard those words.
Just then, the police vehicle stopped at our door. I don't know who called the police, but I felt relieved. I immediately handed Tom over to the ** and explained everything to them. I felt a tremendous sense of relief knowing that Emily and I were finally out of this nightmare.
After the party, Emily and I sat quietly on the couch. I hugged her and told her everything was going to be okay. Although we have experienced a terrible event, I know that our love will allow us to overcome everything. I held her hand tightly and vowed never to let anyone hurt us.
Since that day, I have learned to appreciate everything I have more. I know that every moment in life is precious, and all I have to do is cherish it. I will always love my wife and protect her forever.
We had a rough time, but our relationship became stronger. Emily and I decided to move to a new city and start a new life. We leave the shadows of the past behind and welcome the sunshine of the future.
However, just when we thought it was all over, a shocking piece of news shattered our silence. I received an anonymous letter telling me that Tom hadn't given up. He's been released from prison, and he's vowed to find us and make us pay.
I felt a wave of uneasiness creeping through me. I know that we have to take action to protect ourselves. Emily and I decided to file a police report to ** and strengthen our home security measures. We are no longer as naïve about the world as we used to be, and we know that we must always be vigilant.
A few months passed, and our lives were back on track. We gradually forget the fears of the past and begin to enjoy the beauty of life. However, on an ordinary weekend afternoon, I received a ** that made me instantly break out in a cold sweat.
* On the other end of the spectrum was an unfamiliar voice telling me he was Tom. He said he had found our address and that he was already waiting outside our house. I felt a panic and I didn't know what to do.
I told Emily right away, and we decided to run away right away. We didn't have time to pack our bags, we just rushed out. We drove out of the city as fast as we could. I could feel Tom's shadow chasing us all the time, but I knew that as long as we were together, we could beat it all.
We found a remote town and started a new life. We changed our names, we changed our appearances, and we tried to get rid of everything that was in the past. However, I know that Tom will never stop chasing us. We must always be vigilant and always ready to respond to his attacks.
I don't know what challenges the future will bring, but I know that as long as Emily and I are together, we can overcome everything. Our love will make us invincible and fearless. I held her hand tightly and swore I would never let her be hurt.
Our story may be over, but our journey has only just begun. I believe that whatever challenges the future brings, we will face them bravely and forever.
