I am Le – 59 years old, remarried to a husband 31 years younger than me after a fateful meeting at a yoga therapy class.
From the beginning, everyone said I was deceived , that a “young pilot” was targeting the assets left by my ex-husband after he passed away: a 5-storey house in the city center, 2 savings books, a villa by the sea. But seeing the way Viet – my new husband – took care of me little by little, I believed he was sincere.
Every night before going to bed, Viet calls me “the baby who never grows up” and then puts a glass of warm water mixed with honey and chamomile in my hand.
He also kindly tells me:
– Drink it all and sleep well. You have to drink it every night so I can feel at ease.
I felt like I had come back to life. In more than 6 years of living together, my husband had never raised his voice to me.
I thought: “Meeting Viet is a blessing for the rest of my life.”
Until one night…
That day Viet said:
– You go to sleep first. I’ll go to the kitchen and cook some beauty soup to bring to the yoga group tomorrow.
I nodded, then pretended to close my eyes. But my heart was pounding.
For some reason, a feeling arose within me – the urge to sneak up on him.
I walked softly behind my husband, hiding behind the wall next to the kitchen.
Viet took out a glass, carefully scooped up warm water, then… pulled out a small brown bottle from a drawer.
He dropped a few drops of the clear, odorless, colorless liquid into my glass.
Then he added honey and chamomile as usual.
I stood there frozen . My heart was pounding like it was going to explode.
What the hell was that thing?
I pretended to sleep and didn’t drink. The next morning, I brought the untouched glass of water to be tested.
Two days later, the results came back.
The doctor looked at me in horror:
– This is a strong sedative, if used long term will cause dependence, confusion, memory loss, even cognitive disorders…
I am stunned.
For the past 6 years… I have lived in sweetness and gentleness… but in reality, every night is a time of mental manipulation.
