My husband banned me from entering one room in our house, and I could not stop crying when I saw what was there.
A Forbidden Room Reveals a Hidden Past
Alexis’ parents’ bakery struggled as they failed to adapt to new trends. To improve their situation, they arranged a marriage for Alexis to a wealthy man named Robert, whom she had never met.
Robert was wealthy but cold, and their lavish wedding felt distant. “I’m looking forward to being married. But I’m not sure what I’m doing,” Robert confessed to Alexis, showing a rare moment of vulnerability.
After the wedding, the couple moved into Robert’s mansion. He proudly showed her around, declaring, “Now, Alexis, this house belongs to you too.” However, he forbade her from entering the attic.
Curiosity got the best of Alexis. When Robert was away, she went to the attic and found it filled with childhood memories: toys, postcards, photographs, and letters between a young Robert and his soldier father. When Robert caught her, he was upset. “How dare you enter this place?” he said, feeling betrayed.
Alexis pleaded, “I just want to know you, Robert.” This led Robert to open up about his stern father and lonely childhood. Sharing this pain transformed their relationship, making Robert more open and warm.
Years later, the attic, once a storeroom of painful memories, became a cozy reading nook, filled with the laughter of their daughter, April.
