He Married Me Without Touching Me — Then I Found a Hidden Room With Another Woman…

From the outside, our marriage looked like a dream.

People admired us.
Our wedding was elegant—simple, tasteful, yet undeniably expensive—hosted in a secluded heritage villa in Udaipur. He was refined, soft-spoken, and wealthy. Arjun was the kind of man every mother prayed for her daughter. And me? I was the quiet girl who thought she’d won the lottery of life.

But behind the smiling photos and designer sarees, something wasn’t right.

We had been married for four months, and not once had he touched me.

Not even on our wedding night.

At first, I thought he was just being respectful.
“I want us to build emotional closeness before anything physical,” he whispered, brushing my cheek with the back of his hand.

I blushed.
Naïve.
Hopeful.

But weeks turned into months. And nothing changed.

No kisses.
No lingering stares.
No intimacy.
Just short, courteous conversations, occasional dinners, and cold, untouched bedsheets.

I began questioning myself.
Had I done something wrong?
Was I not attractive enough?

He traveled constantly. Always “urgent board meetings” in Mumbai or “policy summits” in Hyderabad. When he was home, he kept to himself—always locking the third room on the upper floor, the one room I was strictly told never to enter.

“It’s just storage,” he once said, with a too-tight smile. “Dusty and dangerous. Full of old stuff.”

But silence breeds curiosity.

And curiosity screams the loudest when your heart is filled with unanswered questions.

One rainy Saturday afternoon, while he was away on another mysterious business trip, I decided to deep-clean the house. From top to bottom. Anything to distract me from the storm inside my head—my loneliness, my restlessness, and the growing question that haunted me:

“Why did he marry me?”

I stood in front of the locked door.

My heart beat wildly.

I knew where he kept the spare keys. I’d once caught a glimpse when he left the drawer open.

With trembling fingers, I opened the drawer.

I took the key.

The lock clicked.

Dust swirled around me as the door creaked open.

The room was dark. Cold. No windows.

At first glance, it seemed abandoned—just dusty boxes, rolled-up rugs, and an old teakwood almirah pressed against the far wall.

But something was off.

The almirah had no dust.

I stepped closer.

Touched it.

It moved.

There was a faint breeze.

Behind it… a second door.

Hidden.

My hands trembled as I turned the knob.

And what I saw next made every part of me freeze.

A bed.

A woman.

Alive.

She lay unconscious—or asleep—hooked up to some kind of IV drip. A ceiling fan hummed above her. A heart monitor blinked softly in green. The air was heavy with the smell of antiseptic… and fear.

I stood frozen.

I looked around.

Personal things.

Clothes. A hairbrush. Bottled lotion. A bindi box.

A photo on the wall.

Her and Arjun.

Smiling.

My jaw dropped.

She looked like me.

Same height.
Same complexion.
Same soft, quiet face.

She could’ve been my twin.

I gasped.

And then—her eyes opened.

Dry, cracked lips moved.

She whispered:

“Did he marry you too?
