A Different Husband Every Night (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 91

I couldn’t sleep. Whenever I closed my eyes, I saw Mother. And inevitably, right behind her, black hands rising from hell would wrap around me.

Nightmares were always silent. Even my own horrifying screams were swallowed by darkness, and I remained quiet every time.
