“Dad, I saw Mom at school today…” my son said in a clear voice. 😯

When Liam, seven years old, said these words, I felt the ground give way beneath my feet. He was standing in the kitchen, his schoolbag slightly open, a serious look on his face. It wasn’t his wrinkled uniform that troubled me, but what he had just stated: he had seen his mother at school.

Emily, my wife, was supposed to have been dead for over two years.

I knelt down to meet his gaze. “What did you just say?” He replied without hesitation: “I saw Mom. She was wearing a blue dress. She told me not to tell you… but that she would come to get me soon.”

A shiver ran through me. I reminded him that Mom was “in heaven.” He lowered his eyes but insisted: “She looked real. She smiled like in the picture in your room.”

That night, unable to sleep, I reopened file number 2379-AD. A sealed coffin. No autopsy. Just an DNA test on a charred body. And suddenly, a chilling doubt crept in: what if Emily had never died?

The next day, I decided to get to the bottom of it. I waited in front of Liam’s school. At 10:15, she appeared. A woman with auburn hair, dressed in a navy blue coat, walked along the yard. Her walk, her face… it was Emily. But when I crossed the street, she had disappeared.

Later, Liam took my hand and led me behind the school, near a small enclosed garden. “She was here, Dad,” he whispered. “She said she loves me… and that she misses me.” Then, after a moment of hesitation, he added: “She also told me not to trust Mr. Ellis.”

Mr. Ellis. The school principal.

At that moment, everything suddenly became clear: the sealed coffin, the body never identified, the inconsistencies ignored… Emily hadn’t disappeared by accident. She had been silenced. But not completely.

I confronted Mr. Ellis, but his calm didn’t deceive me. He denied any involvement. Furious and convinced, I contacted a private detective.

Three days later, he confirmed what I feared: Emily had never been registered at the morgue, and an isolated property belonging to Ellis seemed to house someone who matched her description.

I went there and found her alive. Thin, exhausted, but very much there. She explained that she had discovered embezzlement schemes orchestrated by Ellis and that an attempted murder had been disguised as an accident.

To protect us, she had disappeared and gathered evidence against him.

Thanks to her courage and the authorities, Ellis was arrested. The day Emily returned, Liam ran into her arms. After years of secrets, our broken family finally regained the warmth and unity it had lost.
