Chapter 014

I barely slept that night.

Every time I closed my eyes, Kyle's words replayed in my head.

I'm trying to protect you.

How could he say that with a straight face after everything he had done to me?

I turned onto my side, pulling the blanket closer to my body.

My hand drifted toward my stomach.

"Your father is making my life so difficult already, little one," I whispered. "I hope you won't inherit his stubbornness."

A sad smile touched my lips.

I wished things were different. I wished

  • Dear Ex-husband You Can't Have Me Again    Chapter 046

    Chapter 046"Ryan Williams?"I repeated the name, hoping my father would explain why it had appeared on my mother's forwarding record.He was still staring at the document."Do you know him?" I asked."Not personally. But I know of him.""Who is he?""He's the CEO of Williams Group. They own several businesses across California, including one of the largest jewelry distribution networks in the state."I frowned."What does that have to do with Mum?""That's what I intend to find out."I looked at the document again.The forwarding instruction was brief. It stated that after my mother left the residential property, her correspondence was to be redirected to an address associated with Ryan Williams.There was no explanation.No family relationship.No description of the arrangement.Just his name."Could he be the person who collected her?" I asked.My father shook his head."Adrian said someone named Isabel collected her from the facility. This document only tells us that Ryan Williams

  • Dear Ex-husband You Can't Have Me Again    Chapter 045

    Chapter 045I couldn't stop looking at the name.Isabel Reyes.It was written clearly on the discharge authorization, beside the details of the person who had accompanied my mother from the residence.But my father had just told us that my mother was an only child.So who was Isabel?"Adrian, are you certain this is the correct document?" my father asked.Adrian nodded."It's the copy I received from Elliot's office. I didn't create it.""Then how did this woman's name end up on my wife's discharge record?""I don't know."My father picked up the document again."Look at me, Adrian. Did you ever meet this woman?""No.""Did Elliot tell you who she was?""He said she was a relative.""What kind of relative?""He didn't specify."My father let out a bitter laugh."Convenient."Adrian remained silent.I leaned forward."Did my mother sign this document herself?""Yes. Her signature appears at the bottom.""Can we see the original?""I don't have it. The receiving organization should have

  • Dear Ex-husband You Can't Have Me Again    Chapter 044

    Chapter 044I woke up with one thought in my mind.Adrian Cole.His name was on my mother's accommodation agreement, and according to the records, he had been responsible for paying for her stay.I couldn't understand why a former financial controller would take responsibility for my mother's living expenses.More importantly, I couldn't understand why he had done it without telling my father.I dressed quickly and went downstairs.My father was already in his office, speaking to Mr. Harris over the phone. When he noticed me, he ended the call."You're up early.""I couldn't sleep."He nodded toward the documents on his desk."Mr. Harris has been working on the payment records. He's found something interesting."I immediately sat down."What?"My father handed me a printed page."The account used to pay for your mother's accommodation was connected to a company that Adrian managed before leaving Reyes Financial."I examined the document."Was it his personal company?""No. It was an a

    Chapter 043I read my father's message several times.The record lists a different person as the sponsor of her accommodation.I wanted to call him immediately, but I stopped myself. He had promised we would review everything together in the morning.Still, how was I supposed to sleep knowing that someone else had been paying for my mother's accommodation?Who was this person?And why had they taken responsibility for her care without our knowledge?I picked up my phone again.Who is the sponsor?My father replied almost immediately.We haven't confirmed the identity yet. The company has only provided the name recorded on the accommodation agreement. We'll examine the document tomorrow.I stared at the screen.Please don't wait until tomorrow to tell me.There was a pause before his reply appeared.I won't hide anything from you, Selene. I promise.I put the phone down.I wanted to believe him.But promises had become difficult to trust, especially when so many people had spent years

  • Dear Ex-husband You Can't Have Me Again    Chapter 042

    Chapter 042I barely slept.The words Laura had spoken kept replaying in my head.Your mother was discharged. Someone collected her from the facility.For years, I had imagined different explanations for my mother's disappearance. Sometimes I thought she had abandoned us. Other times, I wondered whether she had become too ill to return home.But now there was a record.A date.And a person whose name we had yet to discover.I got out of bed before sunrise and went downstairs. My father was already in the sitting room, dressed and speaking with Mr. Bennett.The moment he saw me, he ended the call."Good morning.""Have you slept at all?" I asked."Not much."I sat opposite him."Did Laura send the appointment confirmation?""Yes. Mr. Bennett received it shortly after your call."He handed me a printed email.The organization had scheduled our visit for ten o'clock. They had also requested identification documents and the authorization papers we had previously submitted.I read the mess

  • Dear Ex-husband You Can't Have Me Again    Chapter 041

    Chapter 041I couldn't stop thinking about Audrey's phone call.Elliot Morgan had known my mother was transferred. He had known which facility received her, and he had instructed Kyle to direct any questions about her medical arrangements back to him.But why?What was he trying to hide?I stood near the sitting room window, watching my father speak with Mr. Bennett. The folder containing my mother's records was still on the table.For the first time, I felt as though we were getting closer to finding her.And that frightened me.What if the truth was worse than anything I had imagined?"Selene."I turned.Kyle stood a few feet away, his hands tucked into his pockets."Are you all right?"I gave a short laugh."Do I look all right?"He didn't answer immediately."I know this is difficult.""You don't know anything about how difficult this is, Kyle."His jaw tightened."You're right. I don't."I looked away.I wasn't interested in having another conversation where he tried to sound und
