They told of a rainy night when a hooded man burst into the house, handed her a heavy bundle wrapped in cloth, and said:
“Keep this, in place of your husband’s debt. But remember… this secret goes with you to the grave.”
When she opened it, she almost fainted: inside was part of a human body and an envelope stuffed with money.
The initial amount was a few hundred thousand, but over time, those people kept sending more, as a way to buy her silence. She didn’t dare spend it; she kept it all, along with that cursed “proof.” Every time she saw it, she trembled… but she couldn’t get rid of it for fear that they would “disappear” us if it came to light.
