When I met Antoine, I never imagined our love story would uncover dark family secrets. During a visit to his parents’ idyllic French countryside home, a shocking dinner conversation changed our lives. I overheard his parents, Pierre and Marie, discussing a secret hidden in Antoine’s childhood room. “We must ensure she doesn’t discover our secret,” Marie said.
I urged Antoine to check under his bed, where he found a locked wooden box containing a journal revealing that his biological mother wasn’t Marie, but a woman who had an affair with his father. This journal also mentioned a hidden inheritance meant for Antoine. Together, we decided to keep this discovery quiet and plan our next steps carefully. Despite the overwhelming revelation, we knew our love and determination would help us face whatever challenges lay ahead.
