When Laura married Jeffrey, she felt deep down that he was the one who could complete her and her son’s life. It wasn’t long before he proposed, and she happily accepted. They tied the knot in a small, intimate ceremony, with Laura’s 16-year-old son, Ryan, standing proudly by her side, sharing in her joy. The three of them seemed like the perfect family, but after a few months, something began to feel off.
Jeffrey’s behavior toward Ryan shifted—not in any blatantly inappropriate way, but enough to make Laura uneasy. Suddenly, Jeffrey grew unusually clingy, constantly finding excuses to be in Ryan’s room, hugging him a little too long, or shutting the door behind them. At first, Laura dismissed her concerns, but as time went on, she couldn’t help but grow more paranoid.
