My Wife Started Coming Home After 9PM with Weird Marks on Her Wrists — So I Showed up at Her Office Unannounced One Night
Jonathan grew suspicious when his wife Nara, usually punctual and present, began coming home late and appeared with red marks on her wrists. She claimed it was just work and dismissed the marks as from a hair tie — but something didn’t sit right.
One night, he dropped their daughter at her grandmother’s, then drove to Nara’s office. There, he found her behind closed blinds — unusual for her. The scene inside revealed nothing scandalous: coworkers, paperwork, and a late-night project session.
When they were alone, she finally confessed. The marks were from prototype fitness bands — part of a secret workplace wellness initiative she was helping lead. She’d volunteered as a tester, working long hours under pressure for a potential promotion. She hadn’t told Jonathan to avoid disappointing him if it failed — and because she wanted to surprise him if it succeeded.
Relieved, Jonathan apologized for not trusting her. They returned home and shared a quiet moment over grilled cheese sandwiches. Nara also shared her dream of expanding their family.
In the end, Jonathan realized she hadn’t been hiding something bad — she was simply trying to build a better future for all of them.
