On our wedding night, I hesitated to be intimate with Scott, preferring conversation and rest. Hours later, I awoke to find him kneeling by the bed with a baby, claiming she was his orphaned niece, Ella.
Confused, I learned Scott had hidden Ella’s existence from me, fearing I’d leave. Despite my anger, we took her home, but secrets about Ella’s mother and Scott’s past haunted me.
When Scott left urgently one day, I discovered a photo suggesting he had lied about his relationship with Ella’s mother. Confronted, he confessed to meeting her in secret and helping her.
Months later, I found evidence of Scott’s previous marriage and a chilling note hinting at more secrets. Meeting his ex-wife, Amanda, revealed Scott’s involvement with a dangerous cult.
Pregnant with Scott’s child, I staged a miscarriage to expose his violent nature. Police intervened, arresting him for assault and murder.
In the aftermath, I found solace in caring for Ella, knowing the truth had set us free. As I tended to her, I realized the chaotic journey had been part of a film project, a testament to the power of storytelling and love.
