The Room My Husband Built Behind Our Bedroom Wall Hides His Other Life

by Michael Griffin

Sylvia Vance thought she knew every inch of her home until the sledgehammer went through the master closet wall. [HOOK] For thirty years, she was the perfect wife to Robert, a man currently lying in a coma. She managed his life, raised his children, and never asked about his business trips. She believed her patience was the glue holding their affluent life together. [SETUP] But the hidden room contains a suitcase of baby clothes that aren't hers and a burner phone that just started ringing. As Sylvia answers the call, she unravels a double life that has drained their accounts dry. Her husband didn't just have an affair; he built a structural archive of a second family he’s been supporting with Sylvia’s inheritance. [STAKES] Now she must decode the truth before Robert wakes up, or lose the only home she’s ever known to the woman on the other end of the line. [CLIFFHANGER]
