“T-That's a lie,” Cassandra stuttered. “You can't make an accusation like that without evidence!”

“And who said I didn't have evidence?” Evelyn countered. “All this while I've been in the States, I had been investigating the case of my miscarriage. At first, I believed it had just happened naturally, but it turns out the truth was way uglier than that.”

Pulling out her phone, she hit the play button on a recording where Cassandra's voice filled the room.

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   STAY ALIVE IN THERE

    ChaseAfter Will left Adrian's house taking Carter as a hostage, Scarlett picked up her phone and called an ambulance for Oliver. “Hang in there, Oliver,” Evelyn said, in tears as the paramedics helped him onto the stretcher in the back of the ambulance. “Don't... cry for me, Evelyn,” he said, coughing up blood in between. “I don't want you to cry for me. I'm going to be—” Another cough. “... alright.” Watching the ambulance pull out of the driveway, I dragged my feet against the ground toward the front door, but Adrian's hand landed heavily on my shoulder, halting my tracks. “Where do you think you're going?” he asked. “To see Ryker for one last time,” I said, without looking back. “Aren't you going to flaunt how correct your assumption was?” “What good does being correct do? We need to come up with a plan to get Ryker out of this situation and save my kids.” “What plan, Adrian?!” I snapped, spinning around and snapping at him. “You were clearly left with a choice. Doing other

    ChaseAlthough she didn't say a word, I could feel Evelyn's eyes on me.“What do you want to say?“ I asked, my gaze fixed on Carter from afar, who was waiting for Will to arrive at the café according to our plan. “I can feel you boring a hole in my face. Out with it.““I wanted to apologize.“My head snapped towards her. “For what?““I was wrong about Ryker's boss. You made the right choice.““You weren't wrong,“ I corrected. “Involving Carter put Ryker at risk of losing his job, but it was a selfish decision I was ready to make. I just want him to come home.“Reaching for my shoulders, she gently patted them. “He will.“Looking over my shoulder towards the counter, I spotted Oliver ordering two cups of coffee.“So, you and Oliver, huh? Is it serious?“ I asked.“I hope not. We only slept together for the first time yesterday because I thought that would get him to leave me alone, but he still follows me around like a lost puppy.““Aren't you going to consider giving him a chance?““Ei

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   CARTER IS A CARER

    Chase “Damn man, that's a lot to take in,” Oliver admitted after I gave him a rundown summary of everything happening. “But still, do you think showing up at Will's front door is the best option here after stating that cuckoo CSO is his father? Showing you there will ruin your whole 'playing dumb' narrative.”Now that Oliver spelled that out loud, my entire plan sounded like a bunch of bull. “Call Will outside or something,” I argued. “After the shitty trick he pulled on me and Ryker? I doubt he would run to me at the slightest call. But there is someone he would die for.” I arched a brow. “Who?” “Our boss, Carter,” Oliver revealed without hesitation. “I think we should involve him.” “I'm against that idea,” Evelyn said, suddenly speaking up. “I agree that Oliver said some things this morning that make sense, but that suggestion earlier isn't one of them.” “Chase needs someone to call out Will. Who would be better suited for that than Carter?” Oliver asked. She crossed her arm

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   NO MORE TEARS LEFT TO CRY

    Chase“Isn't that your uncle, Adrian?“ I asked, unable to tear my gaze away from the figure. “What's his name again? George?“ “Yes, that's him.“ Watching Nathan walk through the front door, I leaned back against the car seat. “Now, what?“ Adrian drummed his fingers against the wheel for several seconds before speaking up. “Listen to me, Chase. You're not going to like my ideas, but it's pretty late, so for now, I need you to go home and have a long night’s rest. I'll take things from here.“ I jerked forward. “What? You want me to rest when my husband is holed up in a cell for a crime he didn't commit?“ “Nathan and my uncle are working together on this. A Gance and a Hartley, do you know what that means?“ he asked. “It means, if we act rashly without any evidence, they'll call our bluff. We need to connect the dots first. It might be easy to get rid of Nathan because he's not a first-time offender, but he's not the target; Uncle George is. Unless we take him out, George is just g

    Chase“For now, act like you know nothing. Adrian and I will do the most we can to get you out of there,” I said. “I have to go now. My one minute is up.” I placed a quick kiss on Ryker's lips before leaving and heading back to Kevin's office as if nothing had happened, but unfortunately for me, Kevin had returned before I could. “You were away for quite some time, Mr. Jenkins,” Kevin said. “I saw your absence as an opportunity to use the restroom. What? Are you going to reprimand my action?” I asked. Kevin blinked. “I simply made a statement.” That was a disgusting lie. He was suspicious of my absence. Too bad he wasn't going to get anything out of either us or that corrupt guard. “Adrian, let's go.” Kevin arched his brow. “You're leaving just like that?” “You're not planning on releasing my husband anytime soon, so I don't see the point of hovering around this station any longer,” I replied, deadpan. “Have a good night, Mr. Smith.” With that said, we strolled out of the sta

    Chase“Is it true? Did someone pay you off, you crazy fucker?“ I asked.“Watch your language with me, Chase Jenkins. I'm an officer of the law,“ Kevin defended, retracting his hand from Adrian's grip. He added, “Also, Mr. Hartley, I would prefer if you don't make false accusations against me.““Then prove me wrong,“ Adrian countered. “Which head officer can confirm your position?“He didn't hesitate. “Officer Landon.“The firmness in his response made me wonder if Adrian's suspicion had been wrong. But then again, if there was even an iota of hope that this officer was a corrupt CSO, I was willing to cling to it like a lifeline for Ryker's sake.“Landon Deury?“ Adrian asked.“Yes.“He remained silent for a while before speaking up. “Then I apologize for the misunderstanding my actions caused. I was not informed that a new officer was added under Deury's team.“Kevin's shoulders slumped. “That's not a problem, Mr. Hartley. People make mistakes.“Pulling Fletcher up, he added, “Give me
