The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 123: The Things We Hide
Patricia did not touch the phone.She didn't need to.The three messages were already burned into her mind.The photograph is genuine.We have confirmation.Glen was moved.She stood beside the bedside table, staring at the screen as though the words might rearrange themselves into something less painful.Behind her, Alex said nothing.She slowly turned."How long?"Alex swallowed."Patricia—""How long have you known that Glen was alive?""I didn't know for certain.""But you had a photograph.""Yes.""And you didn't tell me.""I couldn't."Her expression hardened."You could."Alex took a step toward her."I was trying to establish whether the photograph was genuine before I could tell you.""You had enough confidence to keep investigating.""Because I couldn't risk whoever has him knowing that we'd found a lead."Patricia shook her head."You've been leaving this house in the middle of the night."Alex remained silent."You've been meeting people."Still nothing."While I was sleep
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 122: The Empty Side
At 2:17 in the morning, Patricia woke up.She did not know what had disturbed her.For a few seconds, she lay still beneath the covers, listening to the silence inside the house.Then she reached across the bed.Her hand landed on cold sheets.Patricia opened her eyes.Alex was gone.She turned toward the other side of the bed.His pillow was slightly indented, but the warmth had disappeared from it.She sat up."Alex?"Nothing.She looked toward the bathroom.The door was open.The light was off.Patricia picked up her phone.No message.She stared at the time.2:17 a.m.Again.It was becoming a pattern.She couldn't remember exactly when it had started, but there had been several nights when she woke up and found Alex missing.Sometimes he returned before she woke again.Sometimes she heard the front door just before dawn.Whenever she asked, his answer was always the same."Something came up."At first, Patricia had accepted it.Their lives had become complicated.There were invest
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 121: What She Couldn't Ignore
Patricia woke before dawn.For several minutes, she remained still, staring at the ceiling.The house was quiet.Too quiet.Then she remembered.Glen.She sat upright.For weeks, she had been chasing answers about Daniel Waore, Grace, the missing notebook page and the people who seemed to have been hiding pieces of her past.But her son was still missing.Patricia reached for her phone.No message.Nothing.She opened the last photograph she had of Glen.He was smiling.A completely ordinary photograph.That was what hurt most.She touched the screen."Where are you?"Her voice broke.Faith appeared at the bedroom door."Mom?"Patricia quickly wiped her eyes."Come in."Faith climbed onto the bed."Are you okay?"Patricia hugged her."I'm fine."Faith looked at her carefully."You always say that when you're not."Patricia smiled despite herself."You're becoming too observant."Faith rested her head against her."Do you think Glen is okay?"The question hit harder than Patricia expec
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 120: A Quiet Permission
Bethwel did not go straight to Waore Holdings.He drove past it twice.The first time, he slowed near the main gate.The second time, he took the longer road behind the property.He was looking for the vehicle.It was gone.That bothered him.A person who had been careless enough to be seen repeatedly would rarely disappear the moment the police became interested unless they knew the police had noticed.Bethwel parked several streets away and called Alex."Anything?""Nothing yet.""Then don't look for the vehicle."Alex was silent."Why?""Because I think whoever was driving it wanted us to notice it."At Waore Holdings, Patricia was still thinking about Daniel's note.She had hidden it inside her handbag.She had not shown it to the trustees.Not yet.There was something about the wording that bothered her.If my daughter is ever found...Not if Patricia returns.Not if my daughter comes home.If my daughter is ever found.It sounded as though Daniel had known his child might grow u
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 119: The Man in the Background
Bethwel arrived at the station before sunrise.He had barely slept.The photograph was still in his mind.Daniel Waore.Grace.And the unidentified man standing behind them.The ring had changed everything.Not because a ring proved someone's identity.It didn't.But because Bethwel had seen the same distinctive stone in a much newer photograph.Someone connected to Daniel's past had remained somewhere within the present investigation.The question was why.He placed both photographs on his desk.Then he called Alex."Come alone."Alex arrived twenty minutes later.Bethwel handed him the photographs without explanation.Alex studied the older image first.Then the newer one."You're sure about the ring?""I wouldn't have called you if I wasn't."Alex leaned closer."Can we identify the person?""Not from these.""Then what do we know?"Bethwel pointed to the newer photograph."This was taken recently.""How recently?""Within the period we've been investigating the Waore matter."Alex
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 118: The Photograph
Patricia did not sleep.Alison's final words kept returning to her.I found something.Something connected to Daniel's first disappearance.And then the sentence that had unsettled her most:I don't think your father's first disappearance was the beginning.Patricia turned in bed and stared at the ceiling.She had spent most of her life without knowing that Daniel Waore existed as her father.Now, in the space of a few weeks, she had discovered the Waore family, a company she apparently had a legitimate claim to, two disappearances involving the man who had fathered her, and secrets that seemed to have survived longer than she had been alive.She reached for her phone.Alison still hadn't replied.Patricia typed another message.Call me when you can.She stared at it before sending.At the county police headquarters, Bethwel had made a decision.The photograph would remain confidential.For now.He placed it inside a clear evidence sleeve and examined it again.Grace stood beside Dani

Natasha did not leave the hospital.Hours passed.Dawn slowly crept over Atlanta, painting the sky in shades of pale orange and gray, but she remained seated beside Malia's bed.Her sister still hadn't regained consciousness.Every beep from the monitor felt like a countdown.To what, Natasha didn'
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 2: The Message That Changed Everything
Patricia stared at the glowing phone screen.The message refused to disappear.I miss you Then the second one.When will you tell your wife the truth?Outside, thunder rolled across the skies of Nakuru, shaking the windows of the small house.Her hands trembled.No.There had to be an explanation.
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 1: The Last Light
The Wife He BetrayedThe evening sky above Nakuru had turned the color of dying embers.From the balcony of their modest rental house in Kiamunyi Estate, Patricia Sewe stood motionless, watching the last streaks of sunlight disappear behind the distant silhouette of Menengai Crater. The cool July w
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 5: The Lies Beneath
The rest of the afternoon passed in silence.Patricia and Alison remained parked several blocks away, watching Alex's car disappear into Nakuru traffic.Neither of them spoke immediately.Both were trying to make sense of what they had witnessed.The affair was real.That much was no longer in doub
