Chapter 6: Not Your Ex-Husband

Agata’s P.O.V

“Leave me alone!” I was about to swing the pan when a strong arm grabbed my hand.

“Wow, calm down, lady!” an unfamiliar man voice was heard and I snapped back to my senses. It was not Edward nor any of his man.

It was a complete stranger. A man who looked like he was in his late twenties, blonde hair, blue eyes and a pale skin that looked almost translucent.

After realizing he was not related to Edward whatsoever, I gasped in embarrassment.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry, I thought you were someone else.” I apologized and he gently released my hand.

“It’s fine, it’s not the first time I almost got hit by a woman.” He joked before reaching out his hand.

“I’m William, I’m Belinda’s son who lives at the end of the floor, near the elevator over there.” He explained.

“Oh, you’re her son. I’m Agata, the new tenant here.” I shook his hand, still feeling slightly guilty over what happened.

“Yes, I know. My mom called me earlier and asked me to check in on you. She said there’s a pregnant lady who just moved in and she might need some help, so here I am.” He explained.

“Thank you, but for the moment, I am settled, I think.” I told him.

“Okay, well, if you ever need me, you have my number and I will also be over there. If I am at home, you are free to knock on my door at any time.” He told me.

I did not know if he was just doing it because his mother told him to or he was just a nice person, but I had a good feeling about this man and smiled.

“Sure, I will remember that.”

Edward’s P.O.V

“Sir, she’s not here. She never landed in London.” Darren hesitantly came to me.

“What do you mean she never landed in London?” I asked him.

“The flight attendants who were on the plane that day confirmed she never board the plane to begin with. It means she’s still in the U.S.”

Hearing this, my blood began to boil. I rose from my seat and grabbed a piece of pen from the table and threw it to Darren’s face.

“You idiot! You should have confirmed everything since the beginning! You made me fly over to London for nothing!” I yelled at him.

“I’m sorry, sir, it was a complete overlook from my side.”

I ran my hand through my hair in frustration and bit my tongue. She fooled me.

Agata, that woman, she completely fooled me. She was nowhere to be found in London. I hired multiple agencies to look for her there and it was all for nothing.

“Edward!” I heard a woman’s voice. I turned my head around, expecting it to be Agata, but it wasn’t her. It was Veronica.

“Veronica, what are you doing here in London?” I asked her.

“You have not contacted me for two whole days. So, I asked your assistant and he said you’re in London. I had to come here and check on you.” She reached out her hand to touch my face and gently caressed it.

“Are you okay? You look exhausted.” She asked me, worried.

“I am fine. I’m sorry I left you just like that back then. I was panicking.”

“It’s fine, I am already over that. But you need to tell me what’s happening.” Knowing Veronica, I was not convinced she was actually over that. But I did not have any time or mental space to overthink it.

“Agata, she ran away and she brought my son with her.” Hearing this, a brief smile flashed across her face. Even though she quickly covered it with a sympathetic look, I could tell she was smiling.

“I see, well, you already planned on divorcing her anyway. If you can’t find her, we’ll just find someone else to have your child.” Veronica placed her hand on my chest again.

“Sperm insemination is a thing, you know. We’ll just pay someone to carry your child for nine months and name the child your heir.” She suggested.

While her suggestion made sense, it was not making me feel better. I removed her hands from my cheek.

“Veronica, you should go back first. I have some business to do with Darren.” I told her. Veronica was in shock with my disinterest.

Before she could say anything, I walked away and approached Darren who was standing near the car.

“Call the embassy of every country just in case she booked a secret flight also hire private investigators in Europe and US.” I pressed my hand on Darren’s shoulder firmly.

“I don’t care whatever it takes, you must find a way to bring her back.”
