When Ezra snapped a selfie with her mom at the mall, she never expected to uncover her neighbor’s dark secret. The photo revealed more than just smiles, exposing a truth that would change everything Ezra thought she knew about her next-door neighbor, Jerry.
I never thought a selfie would lead me to the darkest secret of my seemingly perfect neighbor.
But before I tell you about that life-changing selfie, let me share a bit of the backstory.

So, my husband, Bernard, and I moved into our new house exactly two years and four days ago. Yes, I remember the exact date because it was our second anniversary, and we were super excited to start a new chapter of our lives in this cozy little space.
Initially, we loved everything about this new neighborhood. The greenery, the calm environment, and the welcoming demeanor of our next-door neighbors, Jerry and Lola.

I remember the day we moved in, Bernard and I stood in our new garden, taking it all in.
“Can you believe this is our home now?” I asked, grinning from ear to ear.
Bernard wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close. “It’s perfect, honey. Just look at those trees, and how quiet it is.”
“I know! And did you see how friendly everyone seems? That couple next door even waved at us.”

“Yeah, Jerry and Lola, right? They seem nice. I think we’re going to love it here,” Bernard said, kissing the top of my head.
I nodded, feeling content. “I have a good feeling about this place. It’s exactly what we wanted.”
Little did we know that our seemingly nice neighbors would turn out to be super annoying. We got to see their real faces a few months after we moved in.
Bernard used to work from home before he found this amazing job at an office near our place.
