Woman Installs Hidden Cameras after Realizing Someone Has Been Taking Showers in Her House And She Discovered The Unusual – Inspiring Story

Marie McGovern had been happily married for twelve years and if anyone had told her that she’d be suspicious of her husband Gary and rig up cameras to spy on him, she would have laughed at them.

But that was before Marie found a lavender-scented shower gel in her bathroom and a chamomile shampoo that promised to put gold shimmers in blond hair. Marie was a brunette, and she hated lavender…

Who had used the shower in the master bathroom? Marie was tempted to interrogate Gary, but she decided to bide her time and see if it happened again.

A few days later, when she came home, she found the bathroom filled with the scent of lavender. Whoever SHE was had been there again!

Marie was furious and she called her best friend Louise. “Listen, Marie,” Louise said. “Don’t go off on Gary without proof. I think you should put in some nanny cams and get some footage of him in the act. That way, if worse comes to worst, you have ammunition for the divorce!”

Trust is the cornerstone of marriage.

“Divorce!” whispered Marie as she hung up the phone and looked over at her little son Peter who was crawling on the rug after a red and blue ball. Then she placed her hand on her baby bump where her second child slumbered.

“Do I want a divorce?” she asked herself. Then she imagined Gary in the shower with a blond, and rage filled her heart.

The next morning, bright and early, she headed for YourHome Security, a shop in the local mall that sold all kinds of alarms, cameras, and everything and anything related to security, and picked out three tiny cameras that she could hide around the house.

She set one up in the hallway, another in the sitting room, and didn’t put one in the bathroom because the tech at YourHome had told her the moisture in the air would damage the camera and fog up the lens.

Then she waited, and it was another week before she caught the tell-tale scent of lavender in the air that told her Gary had brought his hussy into her home again. Immediately, she accessed the cameras’ footage through her iPhone.

Camera #1 caught Gary walking in with a petite blond with her hair up in a ponytail and scruffy blue jeans. She looked very young, at least 10 years younger than Marie. “So that is what he wants?” Marie commented to herself bitterly. “Youth!”

Marie watched as Gary gestured soundlessly to the blond and she smiled up at him adoringly. Then the blond stood on tip-toe and kissed Gary on the cheek. Marie switched off before she saw any progression in their intimacy. She wasn’t ready for that.

What she was ready for was the truth. She packed a bag for herself and a bag for little Peter and booked herself a room at a local hotel. Then she waited for her cheating, lying husband to come home.

Gary walked in with his usual tender smile, and he immediately reached out for Marie to give her a hug and a kiss, but she turned her face away. “Marie?” Gary asked worriedly. “Are you OK, baby?”

“I’m fine,” Marie said coldly. “How are you? Did you have a nice afternoon?”

Gary looked at her oddly. “Yes I did!” he answered. “What’s the matter with you?”

“Maybe I don’t like being cheated on, Gary,” Marie responded. “That’s what’s the matter with me.”

“Cheat?” gasped Gary. “I’d never cheat on you!”

That was when Marie lost her cool completely. “NEVER?” she screamed. “I put up cameras Gary! I saw you bring in your little blond bimbo! I know EVERYTHING!”

Gary was shaking his head. “Please Marie,” he cried. “It’s not what you think!”

But Marie wasn’t listening anymore, she was moving fast. She grabbed the bags in one hand and Pete with the other and dragged them all to the front door.

Pete was screaming and Gary was shouting but Marie just piled her son and the luggage into the car and drove off. She wiped her tears and glanced at the rearview mirror. Gary was standing in the middle of the road looking absolutely devastated.

“Serves him right!” she cried. “CHEATER!”

“Mommy?” asked Pete from his seat in the back. “Mommy where are we going? Why are you mad at daddy'”

“Listen, Pete,” Marie said, forcing a smile onto her ice-cold lips. “You and I are going for a little holiday just you and me, OK? This is a really cool place and we can eat waffles in bed…”

Pete giggled and bounced up and down as much as the seat belt allowed him to. “Promise? Waffles in bed? WITH SYRUP?”

“Yes…” Marie answered smiling. “Anything you want little man!”

Marie kept her smile in place until Pete finally fell asleep on the big double bed, his little mouth smeared with sticky syrup and with a smear of powdered sugar across his little nose. Marie tucked him in and tears filled her eyes.

When the phone rang, Marie saw that it was Gary and she simply turned off the sound. She didn’t want to listen to his lame excuses and whining protests. She just wanted to stop hurting.

The next morning, she dropped Pete off at nursery school and when she walked back to her car she saw Gary standing there. “Marie,” he said. “I’m not giving up until you hear me out. I want you to meet the woman I took home.”

Marie stared at Gary coldly. “So you admit you took a woman into our home?”

“Yes, I did,” Gary replied. “But you need to meet her to understand why.”

Reluctantly, Marie followed Gary to the center of town, close to where Gary’s company had its offices. There in a dingy alleyway, Gary introduced her to the ‘other woman.’ The blond looked skeletal rather than slim, and her eyes were enormous and frightened, not flirty.

“Marie,” Gary said in a gentle voice. “This is Mandy. She’s homeless and so I let her take a hot shower at our place once a week. She’s 18 and her mother abandoned her. She’s too old for foster care, and no one will help her.”

“Oh,” gasped Marie. “I see…” Marie felt a flush of shame tint her cheeks. “Hey there Mandy,” she said as gently as Gary. “I’m Marie. Listen, we need a full-time live-in babysitter for our son Pete — he is four — and for the new baby too… so how would you like to try out for the job?”

Mandy was overwhelmed and started crying. That night she slept safe and warm in the McGoverns’ spare bedroom. Marie apologized to Gary for her mistake and he swore that he loved her to the moon and back…and beyond the stars!
