Every evening, he personally prepared my favorite warm drink.
“Drink it, sweetheart. You’ll feel better,” he would say.
Sometimes he even sat across from me and waited until I had completely emptied my cup.
At first, I considered it an act of love.
Until one evening, I returned to the kitchen unexpectedly and saw him adding something from a small, dark bottle to my drink.
Daniel noticed me and immediately slipped the bottle into his pocket.
“What did you just put in there?” I asked.
He smiled.
“Nothing, sweetheart. Just a special flavoring.”
But his hands were trembling.
From that day on, I began to feel afraid.
For several weeks, I had been waking up feeling weak and dizzy. Sometimes I slept so deeply that I didn’t even hear my alarm clock.
One night, I woke up and noticed Daniel standing beside our bed.
He was holding his phone.He was whispering to someone.
