My name is Liza, I’m 32 years old, and I’ve been married for seven years. We share a three-story house in Mexico City with my mother-in-law, Doña Cora. She has a reputation for being intrusive and snooping through our belongings; she always insists, “I’m only checking in case you’re missing something.”
I have never fully trusted her, especially after I realized that the two gold bracelets my mother gifted me before my wedding had vanished. When I confronted her, she simply gave me a mocking smile and replied, “There are no thieves under this roof.”

I also turned on motion alerts so I would be notified whenever someone entered the room.

Doña Cora walked into the room, glanced around carefully, and opened the closet, pulling out drawers one by one.
“I finally caught you,” I whispered to myself.
But less than twenty seconds later, my entire body went cold at what appeared on the screen.

It was also my husband.
Mark—my husband—stepped into the doorway. He scanned the hallway and then locked the door behind him.
