I got home and the house was strangely quiet. Stepping into the living room, I noticed no one was there, but I could hear faint voices coming from deeper within the house.
A strange feeling crawled across my skin. It was the sensation of trouble brewing—a feeling I knew all too well.
'Well, damn. Let's find out what the fuck is happening.'
I walked deeper into the house and soon realized the voices were coming from the room I shared with my wife, Aleena.
I pushed the door open, and the moment I stepped inside, I saw everyone gathered around the bed. What made my heart race was the unfamiliar face standing among those surrounding it.
"Brother-in-law, you're back just in time," Maya said with a worried expression. When I looked over at Theodore and Tiriana, neither of them wore their usual smiles.
Lying on the bed was Aleena, fast asleep with a damp towel resting on her forehead. I could sense her breathing clearly, easing my worry a little.
