Wedding Night with the Richest Man in Town Took a Dark Turn When I Looked Under the Bed… And Saw THIS
My name is Clarisse, 24 years old, raised in a small town in southern Luzon. Everyone in the village buzzed with gossip when I married the richest man in the area – Mr. Leonardo Valmores, a 39-year-old real estate tycoon known all over the region. His three-story mansion stood on the highest hill in town, with a granite-paved front yard and an automatic gate that screamed wealth from miles away.
At the wedding, I heard all kinds of remarks:
– “Clarisse! Marrying Don Leo? That’s three lifetimes of good karma!”
– “Can you believe it? Only 24 and already a Señora! She made it!”
Truthfully… I won’t deny I was attracted to the money. But Leo wasn’t a bad man. He was calm, well-spoken, and so attentive. He gifted me designer perfumes, took me to the finest restaurants in Manila, and treated me like a queen.
I didn’t think I was wrong. I chose stability.
On our wedding night, I was nervous the whole afternoon. The bedroom on the third floor was prepared meticulously: dim golden lighting, soft lavender essential oils, and gentle piano music playing through the in-wall speakers.
He held me close and whispered:
– “From now on, you’re mine. Everything I have… is yours, Clarisse.”
I melted.
But just then… in the dead silence of the room… I heard a soft rustling under the wooden floor. Faint. But clear.
I paused, but Leo gently pulled me back, whispering:
– “It’s nothing. You’re overthinking.”
But the sound came again. Louder. Quicker. As if someone was moving.
I broke free from his arms and bent down near the bed. What I saw froze me in place.
Two small eyes were staring at me from under the bed.
I screamed.
Leo jumped up — not to calm me — but to kneel down, pull a little girl out from under the bed, and wrap her tightly in his arms.
– “Baby girl… Daddy’s sorry… Don’t be scared…”
I stood there, trembling, my blood cold.
– “Is that… your daughter?” I stammered.
He didn’t answer.
The little girl — around six years old, wearing a floral nightgown and hugging a teddy bear — clung to his chest.
She looked up at me, teary-eyed, and whispered:
– “She’s scary… I don’t want a new mommy…”
I collapsed onto the bed, my legs weak.
So… he had a child. And he never told me.
I began to recall the wedding — not once did anyone mention a previous wife. Everyone said: “He’s been widowed a long time. No kids.”
I screamed:
– “You told me… you’d never been married!”
He stayed silent.
The girl, still clutching him tightly, whispered in a mix of Tagalog and English:
– “Yaya said… mommy isn’t really dead…”
My heart stopped.
My breath caught.
This was just the beginning
