😨 My wife always put a red amulet in my pocket before I left the house, saying it would protect me. When I found out the real reason, I was shocked.
I thought our marriage was the picture of calm. Elena was a devoted, caring, and gentle wife. We lived a peaceful life — until three days ago, when everything changed.
Every morning, as usual, she would fix my collar, smooth my shirt… and seemingly by accident, slip her hand into my pocket. I used to think it was just a loving gesture, until one day I felt something strange inside — a small red amulet.
The next morning, it was there again. The same amulet. The same cold surface with barely visible symbols.
When I asked Elena, she just smiled softly and said:
— Just wear it, please. It’s important to me. This talisman will protect you.
😱😲 I laughed, thinking it was just superstition. But my laughter froze when, a few days later, I discovered its true meaning — and why Elena wanted me to keep it close to my heart․․․

A few days passed. I started to feel strange — constant fatigue, dizziness, a metallic taste in my mouth. The doctor said it might be stress, but deep down I knew — something was wrong.
One evening, coming home earlier than usual, I saw Elena in the basement. She was standing over a table with several identical red amulets, wearing rubber gloves. On the side of a glass jar was a faint inscription: “Ra”.
When she realized I was standing in the doorway, she turned pale.
— You weren’t supposed to see this… — she whispered.
I grabbed one of the amulets and felt a faint warmth coming from inside. Later, the lab confirmed: inside were particles of radium. It had been slowly poisoning me, day by day.
Elena confessed. All this time, she had been playing the role of the loving wife — but in truth, she was after my insurance and inheritance.
— I’m sorry… I didn’t think it would go this far, — she cried as they took her away.
Since then, I’ve hated everything red. Even a drop of blood in the mirror. Because it reminds me how deceptive love can be.
