The Tradition That Excluded Layla
Layla’s husband, Tom, has followed an annual tradition for years – a family vacation that she isn’t part of. Despite being married for twelve years, Layla has never been invited to join in the island getaway.
Asking the Hard Questions
After years of exclusion, Layla finally confronts Tom, asking why she isn’t included. His response? He lies and blames his mother for the decision.
“Why don’t you cancel this trip and we can go on holiday with the kids instead?” Layla suggests, hoping for a change.
“Why would I do that?” Tom replies. “The kids are too young, it would be chaotic. When they’re older, we can talk about family holidays with them.”
“And me?” Layla asks. “Are you sure your mom won’t mind?”
Uncovering the Family Secret
Determined to understand the real reason behind her exclusion, Layla starts her own investigation. With her mother-in-law’s help, they uncover a shocking family secret, one that threatens to tear the family apart.
