It\u2019s a nice neighborhood. We need to fix it up, and it\u2019ll be perfect. What do you think, Mark?\u201d Emma asked her husband while the realtor smiled at them. \u201cYeah, I guess it\u2019s fine. It\u2019s a good deal. We\u2019ll take it,\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark said. He wasn\u2019t particularly excited about it, but at least Emma wouldn\u2019t keep nagging about moving to a bigger place. Mark was also less than pleased about his coming child, but that was another issue. They moved in a month later after all the paperwork had gone through. Emma started unpacking and cleaning slowly throughout the house because she was 5 months pregnant and needed to take things slow. She began with the master bedroom, where she had fallen in love with the mounted mirror on the wall. It was huge and reached the floor. She had never seen something like it before. It\u2019s almost like a doorway, Emma thought. But it needed a good scrub, so she got to work. Suddenly, she noticed a little nub on the side of the mirror and pulled it. \u201cOH!\u201d she almost screamed. The mirror opened. \u201cIt IS a doorway!\u201d she said out loud. \u201cThis is crazy!\u201d The previous owner had actually mounted the mirror into a discreet doorway. We would have never discovered this! It\u2019s like a movie! she thought. The realtor had not informed them about it either. But Emma needed to check it out. She opened the door a bit and used her phone\u2019s flashlight to see inside. It was tiny, and there was a chair in the corner. But then she looked at the back of the door and noticed the other side of a two-way mirror. Whoever built this house must have wanted to spy on the people in the master bedroom. That\u2019s odd and creepy, she thought. Then Emma had an idea. Mark had been so distant since she got pregnant. Her intuition told her that something was going on. It was time to find out. So she called him at work. \u201cHey, honey. Listen, I\u2019m going to my mom\u2019s house tonight. She wants to have a girls\u2019 night. I might stay over. Is that ok?\u201d Emma asked sweetly. \u201cYeah, yeah, cool,\u201d Mark said and hung up. He normally got home at 5 p.m., so Emma went into the secret room a few minutes before. Oh, I forgot my phone, she thought. Bam! The door slammed in her face before she could go out, and she had no idea how to open it from the inside. \u201cI\u2019m an idiot,\u201d she said out loud. But there was nothing Emma could do until Mark got home. So she sat on the chair and waited. Suddenly, Emma heard his voice, but there was another person with him. \u201cThis is your house?\u201d a female voice asked. Emma got closer to the two-way mirror, hoping to see who was talking. Then Mark and the woman entered the master bedroom. \u201cYeah, Melissa. I hope you don\u2019t mind. I just moved in,\u201d Mark answered. \u201cAnd you live alone in this big place?\u201d the woman asked. \u201cI\u2019ve always dreamed of getting a big house and starting a family. But I haven\u2019t found the love of my life yet. That could be you, you know,\u201d Mark added as he moved closer to the woman. She smiled at him while Emma\u2019s heart broke into a million pieces. They started kissing and moved things to the bed. He\u2019s cheating on our bed, Emma thought. I can\u2019t believe this! She closed her eyes and tried not to hear what was happening. Later, Mark got up and left the bedroom. Melissa stayed in bed, browsing through her phone. Then Emma heard Mark\u2019s voice but couldn\u2019t see him. \u201cListen, baby. I\u2019m going to get us some pizza. Deliveries take too long this time of night. It\u2019s better to pick it up. I\u2019ll be right back,\u201d he told her and left. In spite of what she was feeling, Emma knew she needed to call out to Melissa, or she would be trapped in the room forever. So she started yelling, \u201cMelissa! Melissa! Melissa!\u201d Melissa turned around trying to figure out where the voice was coming from, scared. \u201cWho\u2019s there? Where are you?\u201d she yelled at nothing. \u201cMelissa, my name is Emma. I\u2019m Mark\u2019s wife. Please, I\u2019m stuck behind the mirror. Can you help me? There\u2019s a nub on the side, the mirror is a doorway. Please help me,\u201d Emma explained. Melissa rushed to the mirror and opened it. Emma got out and looked at Melissa with tears in her eyes. \u201cYou\u2019re really his wife?\u201d Melissa asked, still in shock. \u201cDid he lock you in there?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m his wife. But no, he didn\u2019t lock me in. I got locked in accidentally,\u201d Emma said and explained everything. \u201cI can\u2019t believe this jerk is married! He even fooled me into giving him some of my clients. The paperwork is already done,\u201d Melissa continued. \u201cI take it you\u2019re his colleague at work? Listen, I have an idea if you\u2019re willing to help me,\u201d Emma started. Melissa agreed immediately, as Mark had fooled her into becoming \u201cthe other woman.\u201d Emma wanted to divorce her husband, but Mark would never do it because her father was rich. He wanted her family\u2019s money. But Melissa was the key to getting those papers signed. \u201cDo you still have more clients he wants?\u201d Emma asked her. \u201cYes. There\u2019s one he has wanted for a while, but I always said no,\u201d Melissa revealed. \u201cOk, can you pretend that everything is ok for now? Then I\u2019m going to give you my divorce papers soon. Would you get him to sign them?\u201d Emma asked. \u201cOf course, I can! I\u2019ll do anything to make this up to you. I hate cheaters, and he just turned out to be one. And you\u2019re pregnant, no less!\u201d Melissa added angrily. A month later, Emma and Mark were having dinner at home as if nothing had happened. Meanwhile, Emma already knew that Melissa managed to trick him. But it was time to reveal it. \u201cDid anything important happen at work today, honey?\u201d Emma asked coyly and smiled. \u201cNo, nothing. Same old, same old,\u201d Mark said dismissively. \u201cIs that right?\u201d Melissa said, opening the backdoor to the kitchen and stepping in. Mark\u2019s face paled. \u201cWhat? Melissa, what are you doing at my house? This is completely inappropriate! I\u2019m going to report you to HR. Emma, this is my colleague,\u201d Mark scrambled for words at Melissa\u2019s sudden appearance. \u201cActually, Mark, I invited Melissa over. She has some documents to give me. Documents that you signed today, in fact,\u201d Emma explained. Melissa reached into her purse and gave her the papers. \u201cWhat? What are you doing? What\u2019s going on?\u201d Mark questioned, confused and agitated. \u201cWhat am I doing? Getting a divorce. You just signed them today. Isn\u2019t it awesome? Ah, and before you get any ideas. Don\u2019t try to fight it. Because we have an iron-clad prenup, and you can\u2019t afford a lawyer on your salary,\u201d Emma revealed. \u201cNow, get your things out. This is not your home anymore,\u201d Melissa added. Both women smiled at each other. Mark couldn\u2019t fight it and was forced to leave. Emma and Melissa formed a great friendship afterward. She was by Emma\u2019s side when her baby was born. \u201cThis is Adeline Melissa. Addie, say hi to your Auntie,\u201d Emma said, looking at her friend while Melissa beamed.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>wants to witness. \u201cThis house might be a bit old, but it\u2019ll be great for our child.
