My Husband Doesn't Know I Can See Again

The Annoying PIN Code

It's only been six months since I lost my sight, and it feels like a lot has changed in this house. From new people to the decorations inside. I've observed every inch of the house. Many decorations and placements of items have been altered. According to Auntie Yara, this is all Lyka's doing. I wonder, what right does she have in this house? She's just a stranger with the title of a friend. She shouldn't be meddling with the contents of my house.

I also observe how Dina and Sari work. Quite good. So far, they are quick in cleaning the house. They even take turns doing the gardening tasks.

The backyard, which used to be my favorite spot, still looks beautiful and well-maintained. They say Sari and Dina take care of it. Thankfully. There's no harm in continuing to employ them in this house.

In this garden, I invited Auntie Yara to talk privately. The situation is safe. Two spies are also under control. So now, Auntie Yara doesn't need to worry about being with me for a long time.

"Auntie, now tell me, what has happened here while I was blind? Does Lyka often visit the house? And how is my husband's and Lyka's behavior? Do they often act intimately like that behind my back?"

I'm sure Auntie Yara knows everything. What makes me wonder is why she kept quiet without telling me all this? Strange. It's very odd if she is indeed on my side.

I saw Auntie Yara take a deep breath and exhale sharply before starting to speak.

"Just like you saw yesterday. That's how they are. I didn't expect Mr. Harry to betray you. And Lyka too. Truly evil. She's like a snake in the grass. I only found out about this three months ago, Ma'am," Auntie Yara replied.

"Are you sure, Auntie Yara? Then, does Lyka often stay here without my knowledge? And why did you keep quiet, never telling me all this?" I pressed her further.

Auntie Yara nodded, confirming Lyka's frequent stays in this house. Then all the stories flowed out, leaving me more astonished because it's hard to believe.

According to Auntie Yara, Lyka often went in and out of my room with Harry. They were even free to be intimate in many places in this house, especially if I was upstairs or locked myself in my room. Yes, my mood sometimes fluctuates. When I feel hopeless, I would lock myself in the room all day. But it turns out that it only freed the two parasites to have fun in this house. Auntie Yara didn't dare to tell me because she was threatened with being fired. Her fate would be the same as the three people who were fired from this house because they refused to keep quiet.

"Why didn't you just quit, like them, Auntie Yara?"

Right? That's what should have been done if she was really on my side. Instead of staying silent and letting me be a fool in my own house all this time.

"I stayed here not because I was afraid of being fired. Your family has helped me a lot, that's why I remain loyal to serve here. If I leave, who will take care of you at home? I'm sure there will be a time when I can tell you all their wickedness. Like now. I'm sure the truth will prevail, Ma'am, and good people are always protected by God."

I was moved by her words. Auntie Yara was right, if she hadn't stayed loyal by my side, who knows what would have happened. I would have been alone in a circle of wicked people.

"So, what's your plan now?" Auntie Yara asked curiously. Confused to see me just silent after hearing all her stories.

"I have one, Auntie, it's a secret," I said with a faint smile. I walked away, leaving Auntie Yara alone in the backyard.

In my mind, many plans are neatly arranged to retaliate against their betrayal. Just wait, Auntie, you'll see.

Now, the first thing I do is buy CCTV equipment and install it in strategic places inside this house. If they can hire people to spy on me and Auntie Yara, why shouldn't I retaliate with the same thing? The difference is, their method is too old-fashioned, primitive. Why hire people when there's something more practical, CCTV? Nowadays, we live in a modern era. So, use it. Machines are more capable and reliable than humans. The proof is, I could even get Dina and Sari to switch to supporting me.

I immediately bought CCTV equipment through an online order. It's difficult to leave the house in a situation like this. Especially when I'm pretending to be blind. That's even more impossible.

While waiting for the arrival of the recording equipment, I proceeded with the second plan. I tried to open the locked safe again. There's no harm in trying once more. Who knows, it might work this time. If not, I'll have to force it open.

I've been struggling in front of the metal box for half an hour, but it still won't open. It's all in vain. I still failed. I'm tired; I really should call an expert because my brain is already stuck. What numbers did Harry have in mind when he locked this thing? Strange. I've tried all the nice number combinations, from his birthday to his family's, but none fit. So, what else?

Wait, could it be Lyka's birthday?

No, I shook my head, dismissing the thought. It seems impossible that Harry would use that number as the PIN code. Could he love her so much that he changed the code from our wedding date to Lyka's birthday?

I even sat down on the floor, exhausted from standing. Alright, this is my last chance. If it's true, watch out, Harry! Your days are numbered.

I lazily pressed the six-digit number and then turned the key.

My eyes widened as I saw the metal box in front of me open.

I shook my head with a bitter smile. The safe door opened easily. While I had been struggling since last night to think of the numbers, losing sleep, it turns out the magical combination was the PIN. Well done, your choice of numbers really surprised me. But what's even more surprising is the contents of this safe. It turns out the contents are……
