My husband, Grant, planned a romantic trip to London to save our troubled marriage, but something felt wrong the moment we reached Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. As we entered security, I noticed him watching my suitcase far too closely while his young assistant, Layla, quietly stood behind us on the same flight. Grant acted calm, but I caught the small smile on his face when a police dog entered our security lane. That single expression told me he expected something terrible to happen to me.

The night before, I had secretly watched Grant cut open my suitcase and hide a locked metal case inside it while he thought I was asleep. After he returned to bed, I removed the case, opened it, and discovered drugs and a flash drive filled with fake evidence designed to frame me for crimes I never committed. Instead of calling the police, I quietly placed the case inside Layla’s travel bag. The security dog walked past me… then suddenly stopped beside Layla’s luggage.
