In every family, there are at least some secrets among the members. Some are small and insignificant, some are so damned that they can tear a family apart...
When Sara becomes more and more suspicious of what her husband Mark is doing behind her back, she crosses all previous Establish boundaries and look for the evidence needed to prove her suspicion.
But when she finally saw a photo that seemed to give her all the answers she needed, she was shocked by the incredible reality and had no choice but to file for a divorce immediately...
Sara grabbed a crumpled piece of paper on which Mark wrote his computer password. She didn't want things to develop to this point, but she felt that she had no choice. She has to see what is on these photos, and then...
After some searching, Sara found the folder she was looking for. She took a deep breath and opened it. A burst of surprise and confusion hit her. This was beyond her expectation. She clicked on one of the photos, and then she suddenly saw...
She couldn't believe it. She never thought that Mark had this ability. How could he do this to their family? ! Tears started to flow down her face...
But in order to better understand Sara’s extreme reaction, some background story is needed...
At first glance, the Miller family seems to be one A relatively normal American family consists of Mark and Sara and their two young children. However, although the family looks normal now,But they are definitely not always like this. A lot of things that no one knows happened under the surface...
Salah has been with Mark since the age of 15, so the couple seems to have grown up together. After they met, they got very close really quickly, for good reason...
Sarah first met Mark when she and a few friends went to an old warehouse to hang out. There are many young people squatting. This is a local place. There are often parties under the surveillance of the police, so it is very popular in the small town.
By then, Mark himself had only lived in the warehouse for a few weeks. When Sara arrived with her friends and some other people, he was very quiet at first and did not look for contact information. He sat alone outside the building most of the night.
Other squatters who have lived longer in the warehouse told Sara and her friends that this has been the case since he got there. They don’t like his anti-social behavior, but they won’t send away a 16-year-old boy who has nowhere to go. interest. His appearance and mysterious expression seemed to really attract her. She felt that she could not look away from him and moved
Sara decided to take Mark away from the group to see if he would become more talkative in one-on-one. The warehouse is huge, so they have a lot of space to hang out and talk around. And Sarah was not disappointed by her move.
When there were only two of them, Mark quickly let go of his shy expression. He seemed to be really interested in Sarah. They had a pleasant and long conversation, and Mark did not reveal much about himself. But he did give Sara some information...
Obviously,Mark moved to this small town from somewhere in the county seat and did not intend to go back. But he did not want to say why this was, nor did he want to say where he came from. At that time, Sarah didn't ask much, but maybe she should...
When Sara got home, she couldn't stop thinking about Mark. He didn't leave her heart for several days, and wanted to see him again as soon as possible. They started seeing each other often and soon fell in love. But it turns out that this is far from a perfect relationship...
Sara eventually even took Mark home to meet her family, and her parents soon fell in love with this shy but well-mannered young man. But when Mark explained his situation and knew what must be done to help him, they were caught off guard.
Sara's parents don't like the idea of a 16-year-old boy and a lot of strangers squatting in an old warehouse. After much deliberation, Sara convinced them that she really loves Mark. They made a big decision to save Mark from a dangerous situation...
They brought Mark into their home and became Mark When Sara lived with her parents, their relationship really began to develop. Soon after moving in, Mark got a part-time job and was able to go to photography school. What he has always dreamed of doing.
About 3 years later, he finally got a degree in photography. Sara’s parents gave him a great camera. With it, he quickly found a lot of freelance photographer jobs and built it for himself good reputation.
He started to make more and more money, and it didn't take long for the couple to be able to afford the down payment for a small apartment, where they could live and start building lives together. For this young couple, everything seems great. But is this really the case?
In the next few years, the couple slowly built their lives,But there are still some things that are starting to bother Sara. Sara has been in trouble from seeing Mark for the first time to today...
When she was with Mark for many years, but he still kept his past very secret, which made Sara worry more and more. What can he hide from her, and what makes it difficult for him to speak?
Sara has repeatedly asked him to tell her more, but always encounters the same reluctant response. Mark claims that he no longer has a family and it is too painful to talk about everything. He just wants to forget all this...
At this moment, Sarah has just accepted reality. Mark has been like this since she knew Mark, and he may never change. Fortunately, this kind of concealment is one of the few flaws in Mark's eyes, and she can bear it. At least until now...
When the couple was in love for about 7 years, they had their first child, and now they have another child, and they decided to get married. Sarah hopes that she can finally meet some of Mark's family at the wedding...
However, perhaps not surprising to Sara but absolutely disappointing, Mark only invited his friends to the wedding. And when she knew him, there were only friends he knew. Before he moved to this city at the age of 16, no one there knew Mark.
But in general, this did not really bother Sara. With or without his family, they all held a grand wedding, and in general, they had a pretty good time together. Not only emotionally or romantically, but also financially. Mark has taken an important step in his career.
All the time in the past, Mark graduated to become a photographer. His reputation is growing. Now he has many wealthy clients who are willing to pay handsomely for his services. It's also helpful,Mark is very willing to make "any" type of photos...
Sara is of course happy for Mark personally, but also believes that this success means that money will never become a problem for a growing family. But in some aspects of Mark’s work, Sara is dissatisfied with the more he does...
The first thing is that Mark often flies all over the country to work, which means he may leave. For a few days, let Sara take their son and later young daughter alone. Sara was a full-time mother at the time, so she could cope, but it became more and more difficult for her to miss Mark often.
The most important thing is that Sara is not satisfied with the photos Mark made at that time. Most of his tasks are rather unremarkable, such as major sports events or taking photos with models. But the nature of some other photography jobs is very different...
Over the years, Mark has received many tasks. He takes photos for magazines. These photos may be classified as more dangerous. Sara has seen some of these photos, and she can't help feeling a little uncomfortable with Mark taking these photos.
Sara feels jealous of all this, sometimes even a little insecure. She always hears stories about what might happen between photographers and their models. She knows that Mark is not like that, but still finds it difficult to shake this possibility...
But even if Sara's worries did not disappear, she felt that these worries were not serious enough for her to complain to Mark. The compensation for these photos is usually very good, for her, the positive side far outweighs the negative side. Moreover, she still trusts Mark...
There are two children in the family, and she cannot work because she has to take care of them, which means that they can't refuse the task because she doesn't like this kind of photos. This is especially true after something very unfortunate happened a day later...
just like she does every week,Sara is shopping for weekly groceries and other things that have caught her attention in the supermarket. When she went to pay, she knew she had spent a lot more money than usual, but she still didn't expect this to happen at the cashier...
When she tried to pay, her card refused. The machine stated that the cause of this situation was "insufficient funds." Sara was stunned. This had never happened before, and she knew that there must be enough money on the card. She tried a few more times, but nothing changed.
Sara had to put the cart with the groceries away and decided to call the bank and ask for an explanation. They quickly checked the records and found that in the morning, all the money in their consumer accounts had been withdrawn. Then he was withdrawn by Mark, without explaining the reason...
Mark is currently in one of his frequent business trips, so Sarah immediately called him to ask for an explanation. Mark told her that he discovered a good investment opportunity after talking to some people during the photo shoot, and he needed cash soon before others beat him.
The only way he can get the money fast enough is to withdraw it from their spending account. He has ordered some money to be transferred back from their savings account, but it has not yet passed. A good explanation, but it still makes Sara feel strange...
Mark has never shown interest in investing before. They have always had money, but Mark doesn't want to be busy with it all the time, and Sarah doesn't know how she manages such things. In addition, this "investment" is also strange...
Mark can only tell Sara that this is a very early stage start-up company, and the public knows very little about it. Mark stated that this means that the company does not have any information published online or elsewhere. This sounded a lot of alarms for Sarah...
After this moment,Sarah became more wary of what Mark told her. The lost money will be the beginning of many other strange events, and these discoveries make Sara more suspicious and worried about Mark's actions.
Sara began to notice that some of Mark's travel stories did not add up. He always tells her that he has flown all over the country and has almost never been to the same place. But when Sarah "coincidentally" supervised Mark's flight history, she noticed that he went to a specific airport very frequently. Why did he lie about this matter?
Does he have a customer that Mark does not want Sara to know? But what is special about that customer? Or maybe something else happened? Maybe something completely unrelated to photography...
More and more things started to happen. When Mark was really at home, he seemed to be less interested in romance or doing other things with Sarah. Although this used to be one of the first things he thought of when he came home from a long trip...
At first, Sara thought it might just be part of a long-term relationship. But when she talked about this with some of her friends, they seemed to be more worried. The only explanation they could come up with was that Sara was most afraid of...
As Sara was almost completely worried and doubted by her Engulfed, what happened seemed to push her to the edge. It seems that what links all the information she has found so far has left her with only one explanation...
Late at night, when Mark was on a business trip again, the phone at home rang. But when Sara went to answer and said her name, the call was immediately disconnected by the caller. Sarah thought it was weird, and quickly wrote down the strange number.
after trying to call back the number multiple times and disconnecting before each second ringing,Sara took the phone number and went to Google to search to see if she could find more information about who called her at this time of the night. An amazing discovery...
Sara soon discovered that she could not track the exact number because it did not appear in any searches she performed. But when she found out, the area code matched the city where Mark often flies! This is Sarah’s last straw...
She has always emphasized the need to respect Mark’s privacy as much as possible, but this is enough. There are too many red flags and she must find out what happened. So Sara went to the only place she could think of where she could get the answer...
Sara tried to log in to Mark's home computer. It has a password that Mark has never revealed to her. He might think Sara didn't know, but she found a crumpled piece of paper on the ground a few months ago with it written on it.
She turned on the computer and immediately faced countless neatly arranged folders filled with pictures. For a moment, Sara was overwhelmed by the loud volume, but then she calmed down. She knows exactly where to start looking...
Sara saves the recently updated list and Mark's flight history in her phone, and starts searching for photos of Mark a few days after traveling to a city he frequently visits. Sarah received a call from the same city the night before. But Sara was surprised by her discovery...
From old to new, Sara could not find any photos of these specific periods. Sara knows that the first thing Mark will do after returning from work is to put the new photos on this computer. So that must mean that he didn't take photos on these trips at all...
But then Sara finally stumbled upon a folder she was looking for.Its date is after Mark's most recent trip to the city. Sarah shaking her fingers expectantly, clicked to open the folder. She felt that she was ready to see anything. Anything is fine, but not this...
All the photos stored in the folder are Mark’s. But not only Mark alone, but also him and another family! Another wife and two children! Sara had never seen these people before and couldn't believe what she had just discovered. "This can't be true..."
She knew that Mark had something to do, but she never expected that he would have another family on the side. when? how? Why? Does the family know about her? Could this explain everything? Sara fell into a blind panic...
What Sara wants to do is face Mark and ask for an explanation. She wanted to scream at him and tell him everything she thought of him, but she couldn't. Sara must wait until he gets home the next day, because this cannot be done over the phone.
That night, Sara did not sleep for a second. The only thing she can think of is that her life is completely shattered. The man who has been devoted to her for more than seven years has a double life. She knew she had to leave Mark and file for a divorce...
The next evening, when Marks came home, Sara was waiting for him. She made sure that the children were with one of her friends that day. She didn't want them to be here. They shouldn't have seen their parents like this...
Since Mark had no idea what Sara had found, he faced everything as soon as he stepped into the house. He tried to convince her that she was wrong and he could explain it, but Sara knew nothing about it. She was blinded by her anger.
She and the children’s bags have been packed. Mark was told that Sara would file for divorce in the morning.When she walked towards the front door, Mark hesitated for a few seconds, but then he shouted something that made Sara stop completely...
"I have a twin brother," Mark shouted. Sara turned around, her first reaction was to be even more angry, and Mark dared to use this absurd excuse. But then he claimed that he could prove it, and called up the exact photo on the phone, pointing to the man’s hand...
The man in the photo was obviously missing a finger, which was the first time Sarah saw it. At that time, it did not attract her attention. Is it possible that Mark is telling the truth? The two calmed down a bit, sat down, and Mark began to explain everything...
It turns out that Mark actually had a twin brother named Eric, who was caused by an accident with a lawn mower when he was very young. And lost the finger. Mark has never told Sara about him before, and there are good reasons...
When the brothers grew up, Eric was different from Mark himself. It turned out that it was not so-called "straight and narrow". Loyal supporter. He has been in trouble since he was a child, which means that brothers often clashed. But Eric is not the only one to behave like this...
Mark’s parents are also involved in many practices that will never see the light. From a very young age, Mark knew that he had to stay away from his family to avoid becoming like them. He left with only one backpack when he was 16 years old. Looking for a new life.
In the years after Mark severed ties with his family, Eric's condition went from bad to worse, and he was finally put in jail a few months ago. He was accused of being a repeat offender and sentenced to 5 years in prison.
Eric saw this as a time for self-reflection and decided to change his life. He knew that there was only one person who could help him solve this problem, and that was Mark. He called him from prison,After much deliberation, Mark agreed to help.
Mark had to ask him to help Eric keep secret, because he still didn't want Sara to know his family in any form or form. He was afraid that she would take the initiative to contact them. The missing money was used to pay Eric's bail and help him stand up again.
After his brother was released on bail, Mark visited Eric several times to see how he was doing, and further helped him to adapt to a better life and get rid of the bad road Eric had taken before. All the efforts Mark put in for this soon began to pay off.
In just a few weeks after being released, Eric got a job as a garbage worker. Not only that, he also met a woman who made him fall in love. The woman was divorced and already had two children of her own, which proved that Eric needed their presence.
During Mark’s recent trip to see his brother, he decided to take a photo with Eric and his new family. Sara received a call from Eric the night before, and she wanted to ask Mark if he could send him a specific photo. But Eric obviously drank and forgot that he shouldn't call home.
Sara has difficulty processing all the information she obtains. But Mark seemed to have evidence for everything he claimed. Now there is only one thing Sara has to do; she must see Eric. Finally, she is going to meet the people of Mark's family...
The much-anticipated meeting went quite smoothly. Mark and Eric are very sorry to keep all this secret, although Sara must still be upset about it, but she does understand. She thinks it may be correct that Mark thinks she will try to seek contact.
Mark and Sara promised that they will no longer keep each other’s secrets, and in the next few months,The two families actually started to establish a good relationship. The photo of Sarah who nearly filed for a divorce is now hanging in a prominent place in Eric's living room.
