While My Husband Worked, My Father-in-Law Showed Me the Bathroom Floor Littered with Tiles, Cement, and a Plastic Bag

My husband was at work when my father-in-law pulled me aside and said he needed to show me something in the bathroom.

When I stepped inside, the floor was covered in shattered tile, chunks of cement, and a torn plastic bag lying among the debris.

We were alone in the house. My husband had left for work earlier, and I’d been doing chores when a rough hand suddenly gripped my shoulder.

“Where’s your husband?” a hoarse voice asked behind me.

I spun around. My father-in-law stood there—pale, trembling.

“At work,” I said, confused. “What’s wrong?”

“Go to the bathroom,” he said quietly. “I found something… I think it belongs to your husband.”

My stomach dropped.

“He’s… cheating on me?” I asked in a whisper.

For illustration purposes only

“No,” he replied gravely. “But you should see for yourself.”

I walked to the bathroom—and froze.

The wall beside the sink had been smashed open. Pieces of plaster and broken tile covered the floor. Amid the dust sat a clear plastic bag.

My father-in-law said nothing, just gestured toward it.

I knelt, my hands shaking, and lifted the bag. The seal came undone with a faint snap.

Inside was—

Heavy iron. Not jewelry. Not money. A weapon.

“Oh my God,” I breathed. “Is this… your son’s?”

He nodded, lines of worry deepening across his face.

“Yes. And that’s not the worst part.”

“Explain,” I demanded. “Why would he have a gun? What does this mean?”

He exhaled deeply and sank onto the edge of the bathtub, as though his legs could no longer hold him.

“He’s in deep debt,” he said. “I’ve suspected for some time that he’s been hiding things from us. Then, about a month ago, a man came to me and said, ‘If your son doesn’t complete the task, your whole family will pay. His wife, his parents, his children—none of you will have peace.’

A chill spread through me.

“What task?” I whispered.

He lowered his gaze.

“He’s been forced to do something for them. Something so serious I can’t even bring myself to say it aloud. If he refuses, they’ll destroy everything he loves.”

I sank to the cold tile floor, stunned.

“How did they even know it was hidden in the wall?” I asked.

My father-in-law looked at me, his eyes hollow with exhaustion.

“Because they told me,” he said quietly. “They knew everything—where he keeps the weapons, where he hides money, even when you go shopping. They wanted me to understand: nothing is hidden from them.”

The silence that followed was suffocating.

For illustration purposes only

I could barely form the next words. “So what do we do?”

He clenched his fists, jaw tight.

“We have two choices,” he said. “Stay silent and let him finish it… or try to find a way out ourselves. But remember—if they suspect anything, it’ll be the end of all of us.”
