Dave never thought he had to resort to something this drastic. Invading someone’s privacy went against his morals, but he didn’t trust his wife anymore. Not after the way she treated him. They always had an amazing relationship, but things had turned for the worse lately.
But what Dave sees on the camera changes his life forever…
Dave grew more and more suspicious of his wife, Noa’s behavior. She had been so loving towards him for most of their relationship, but now she started to act differently. Dave would have never guessed the reason why.
He had gone to extreme lengths to spy on his wife. Dave had hung security camera’s through the house without his wife's knowledge. But he didn’t fully support his own decision. So he had put off looking at the cameras until his wife did this…
Noa had lied to Dave. She had bought her car behind his back so she could travel to work independently. But Dave knew that wasn’t the real reason. He couldn’t take all the suspicion anymore, so he looked at the camera footage.
But what will Dave see in the footage? And why did Noa feel like she had to lie to Dave?
Dave and his wife, Noa, have been together for five years. They met at a work convention and instantly clicked. They got married after only three months of dating, but it felt right to them. But Dave would have never expected his marriage to go like this.
Noa works as an accountant at the same law firm as Dave. They travel to work together, eat lunch together and travel home together. Not many people could handle seeing their spouse in a work environment and at home, but Dave and Noa loved it. At least for now.
Dave and Noa plan fun date nights on the weekends. They go to dinner, the movies, or even skating together. Every weekend one of them would take responsibility for planning something. Dave had already planned everything for the upcoming weekend. And it was only Monday.
The reason why Dave had already planned everything was that he had to go on a short work trip tomorrow. It would only be two nights, from Tuesday until Thursday, but he wanted to plan everything in advance. He knew that was necessary because he didn’t want distractions during work. But it didn’t go as he planned.
During his work trip, Dave got a strange phone call. It was from an unknown number. He normally ignores those calls, but he got a strange feeling about this one. Noah didn’t respond to his texts at the normal speed she usually does, and Dave wondered if something could be wrong.
But it wasn't a normal call when he picked up the phone. He waited for someone to start talking, but it stayed quiet. He heard something in the distance but couldn’t determine what it was. He hung up the call, thinking it was probably a butt dial. But it happened three more times that night. Dave decided to call Noa and got an unexpected response.
She picked up the phone as if nothing was wrong. She didn’t respond angrily or confused. Dave thought that he probably imagined it, so he didn’t think much of it from then. But deep down, he knew that something was off. Luckily, his work trip was over soon.
He came home, and they went on to have an amazing weekend together. But Dave couldn’t forget about the strange calls. They had stopped after he called Noa, and he couldn’t shake the feeling of the two being connected. And there was more to be suspicious about for Dave.
And during their weekend together, Noa started to act a little distant. She had to walk away a few times to answer a phone call, which she normally never did. It wasn’t much, but Dave did notice it. He could not let go of the feeling that something was off. But why didn't Noa share it with Dave?
When he asked Noa about it, she said that she was planning a surprise for him. Dave was surprised but didn’t want to pry. He wasn’t sure why he felt the way he felt, but he wanted to trust his wife. After all, she had never done anything to lose his trust. They had been happy together for years now.
So he decided he wouldn’t ask her anymore about the situation. They enjoyed the rest of the weekend together and were getting ready to start work tomorrow when she delivered some strange news. Dave wished he had followed his gut instead of using his head.
Noa told Dave that she was taking some time off from work. She said she wanted to focus on herself and go to a spa to relax and meditate. Dave looked at his wife with a confused look, and before he could say anything, her attitude changed for the worst. Dave had not seen coming this coming at all.
She started acting angry toward Dave. Telling him that she needed some time for herself but that it had nothing to do with him. She gave a lot of mixed signals, but Dave felt like she wanted to make sure Dave didn’t feel put to the side.
Dave embraced his wife and told her it was alright. She had every right to take some time off. He hid his true feelings about the situation because he didn’t want to upset his wife even more, but it wouldn't take long for them to come out.
Monday came, and Dave went to work on his own. Noa had packed her bag and went out the door at the same time. She took a cab to the spa so Dave could take the car. He felt unsure about his wife being all alone for three days. What if she left him? It could be a possibility, given how angry she became the other day.
When Dave came home, the house felt eerily empty. He wasn’t used to being alone and cooking for himself. So he ordered food instead. He kept going over the reasoned changes in his wife's behavior. Had it something to do with him? Dave had to know, so he came up with a plan.
He didn’t want to be that guy, but he felt like he needed to be sure of his wife being honest with him. Dave had a friend who worked as a security guard, and he lent him a few cameras. The only thing Dave had to do was hide them so his wife wouldn’t notice them.
Dave took the next day off work to install everything. Noa would be home tomorrow from her getaway to the spa. He wanted everything to be installed in time. Dave was able to see almost everything in the house on his phone. And now the waiting game has begun.
