Over the Past Few Months, I Noticed That My Husband Had Become Strangely Close to Our 12-Year-Old Daughter. He Even Started Taking Her to the Bathroom and Locking the Door From the Inside. One Day, I Found My Daughter Lying in Bed, Pale and Exhausted. There Were Small Bloodstains on Her Sheets. But When I Secretly Approached the Locked Door the Next Evening and Heard My Husband’s Words, I Froze in Horror…

Then he turned toward me.

“Margaret, I’ll take care of this.”

“No! This time, you’re going to explain everything.”

He lowered his voice.

“Please. Not in front of her.”

I couldn’t sleep that night.

Terrible possibilities kept racing through my mind. I tried to remember whether Emily had ever said something important that I had failed to notice.

The next morning, I found an opportunity to speak to her alone.

“Emily, do you feel safe with Daddy?”

She looked at me in surprise.

“Yes, Mommy.”

“Has he ever made you do anything you didn’t want to do?”

“No! Why would you ask that?”

I hugged her tightly.

But my fear wouldn’t disappear.

The following evening, Robert once again accompanied Emily to the bathroom.

This time, I decided to listen secretly.

At first, I heard running water.

Then, suddenly, Emily let out a piercing scream.

“AAAHHH! DADDY! IT HURTS!”
