Under The Same Roof : A Tale of Secrets and Deception: The Suspense Era, #1

By Evelyn SK Blake

Under the Same Roof: A Tale of Secrets and Deception

Arati, a traditional homemaker, found herself increasingly agitated by her tenants, Pramila and Ritesh, a modern young couple living downstairs. Disapproving of Pramila's decision to work outside the home, Arati engaged in subtle acts of sabotage, all while maintaining a facade of sweetness.

Pramila and Ritesh, despite suspecting Arati's underhanded actions, remained polite and endured the passive-aggressive behavior. Arati's resentment grew, fueled by her belief that household chores should be a woman's duty, a belief she upheld throughout her 36-year marriage to Mr. Shekhar Roy, who never shared in domestic work.

As tensions escalated, Arati's actions became increasingly malicious. Eventually, Pramila and Ritesh decided they could no longer tolerate the hostile environment and moved out, much to Arati's relief. A new, more traditional family moved in, bringing temporary peace to Arati's life.

However, an accident left Arati injured, and Mr. Roy hired a young girl named Papia to assist with household chores. Initially, Arati appreciated Papia's help, but her paranoia and control issues soon resurfaced, leading to conflict. One night, in a fit of rage, Arati lashed out at Mr. Roy, believing she had killed him. She hastily attempted to conceal the evidence, unaware of the truth.

The story unfolds as the true extent of Arati's actions and their repercussions come to light, revealing the hidden dynamics and secrets that lay behind closed doors.
