Freya was thrilled to begin her new life with George after moving into his family’s beautiful estate, which felt like something out of a fairy tale.
The place was grand and enchanting, but soon after she arrived, something unexpected happened. Valerie, the maid, who had been quiet and somewhat cold towards Freya, gave her a strange look. Freya didn’t think much of it at first, but things changed later when Valerie secretly sent her a message. It was short, but alarming. The message told Freya to check George’s drawer, specifically the top left one, and then to run.
Freya was confused and frightened by the message, but curiosity got the better of her. She went to George’s drawer, her heart racing, and opened it. Inside, she found something she didn’t expect: a bundle of love letters.
These letters weren’t for her; they were written by George to a woman named Elena. The words revealed a past relationship that had been very serious. George had loved Elena deeply and even made plans for their future together. What was most shocking to Freya was the date on the final letter—it was written just three days before George had proposed to her.
In addition to the letters, Freya found a key. Unsure of what it opened, she followed her instincts and used it to unlock a door that led to a dusty attic. In the attic, Freya uncovered even more secrets. There were photos of George and Elena everywhere. One of the most heartbreaking discoveries was an ultrasound image of their unborn child.
While Freya was still processing this, Valerie approached her again. This time, Valerie shared even more shocking information. Elena was her sister.
Valerie explained that George had abandoned Elena when he found out that their baby would be born with Down syndrome. George saw the child as a burden and chose to walk away from them, leaving Elena heartbroken. Valerie also mentioned that the attic had been George’s favorite room in the house.
Freya, with Valerie’s support, confronted George’s family. When George’s father demanded the truth, George remained silent. His silence was enough to confirm the terrible truth. The fallout within the family was immediate and severe. George was disinherited, and the money that was supposed to go to him was instead given to Elena and her child to support them.
Freya, deeply hurt but determined to move on, was granted a divorce. She also received some of the assets that had been meant for George. Using this money, Freya decided to create something positive out of her painful experience.
She started a foundation for children with disabilities. Valerie helped her run it, and George’s mother even supported the cause. Despite everything that had happened, Freya found a way to turn her heartbreak into a mission to help others, making something good come from a terrible discovery.
