Patricia stared at the man standing in the doorway.

"Bethwel?"

Inspector Bethwel Kanda stepped inside and closed the door behind him.

His face was serious.

He placed the file on Daniel's desk.

"I think you should see this before anyone else does."

Patricia looked down at the cover.

The date was still staring back at her.

She swallowed.

"What is it?"

"An old internal record."

"About my father?"

"Yes."

Patricia pulled the file toward her.

Bethwel remained standing.

She opened it.

    Patricia stared at the envelope.The second disappearance happened after you became the heir.She read the sentence again.Then a third time."What does that mean?"Alex didn't answer immediately.He was still staring at the envelope."Where did you say this was?""On the dining table.""And you didn't see anyone?""No."Alex turned toward the front door.Still locked.The windows were shut.Nothing appeared disturbed.Whoever had left the envelope had either entered without being noticed or had found another way inside.Patricia's voice broke the silence."You know something."Alex looked at her."I know enough to be concerned.""That's not an answer.""No."She stepped closer."Then give me one."Alex lowered his voice."I think Daniel may have disappeared twice."Patricia frowned."How can a person disappear twice?""By disappearing once publicly and another time secretly."She looked back at the envelope."Then which one did everyone know about?""The first.""And the second?""So

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 131: The Man Who Said Nothing

    The man captured at the quarry did not speak.Not when the officers found him.Not when they brought him to the station.Not even when Bethwel sat across from him for nearly an hour.He simply stared at the table.His face carried no expression.Bethwel placed the evidence bag containing the old key on the table."Do you know what this opens?"Nothing.Bethwel waited."You were at the storage building."Silence."You ran when the police arrived."Nothing."You were not alone."The man's eyes moved slightly.It was the first reaction Bethwel had seen.Bethwel noticed.He leaned forward."Where is the other man?"The prisoner looked at him.For several seconds, their eyes remained locked.Then the man smiled.It wasn't a nervous smile.It was almost pitying.Bethwel leaned back."What is funny?"The man lowered his eyes.Still nothing.Bethwel stood."Take him back."The officers came in.As they led the man away, Bethwel looked at the key again.There was something unusual about it.It

    The vehicle moved through the darkness without its headlights for several seconds.Alex noticed the mistake immediately."Why are the lights off?"Patricia looked at him."What?"He switched them back on."Nothing."But his eyes remained on the road behind them.They had barely left the compound, yet Alex had already checked the mirrors three times.Patricia noticed."Someone is following us?""I don't know.""You just said nothing.""I don't want to alarm you unnecessarily."She gave him a sharp look."After everything we've discovered, I think we're past unnecessary alarm."Alex almost smiled."Fair enough."He took a different road.Then another.Patricia watched him carefully."Where are we going?""Back to the quarry.""Because of the symbol?""Yes."She held her handbag tightly."Do you think Glen was there?""I think somebody wanted us to believe he was."Patricia frowned."That's different.""Very."The silence that followed was heavy.Neither wanted to say what they were thin

  • The Wife He Betrayed   Chapter 129: The Photograph

    Patricia did not sleep.She lay on her side, facing away from Alex, with her eyes open.The photograph was still in her mind.Glen.Alive.Standing beside a wall bearing the word WAORE.She had seen the picture only for a few seconds, but that was enough.She could still remember his face.The slight tilt of his head.The expression he always wore when someone took a photograph without warning.Her son.She slowly turned toward Alex.He was asleep.Or at least he appeared to be.Patricia wondered how long he had possessed the photograph.And why he had never shown it to her.Her first instinct was anger.Her second was fear.But beneath both was something stronger.Hope.If Alex had a recent photograph of Glen, then perhaps he wasn't simply chasing rumours.Perhaps he had actually found him.Patricia closed her eyes.For the first time in days, she allowed herself to imagine Glen walking through the front door.She imagined Faith running toward him.She imagined herself holding him so

    Alex remained motionless beside the tunnel.The piece of paper felt strangely light between his fingers.Yet the sentence written on it seemed heavier than anything he had carried all night.You are looking for Glen in the wrong place.He read it again.There was no signature.No threat.No explanation.Only nine words.Someone knew what he was doing.More importantly, someone knew what he was looking for.Alex looked toward the mouth of the tunnel.The security camera remained fixed on the same angle.A blind spot.He suddenly understood why.It wasn't necessarily meant to hide someone entering the tunnel.It could have been meant to hide someone leaving it.He stepped backward.His phone vibrated.Bethwel.Alex answered."Tell me."Bethwel's voice was low."The name I mentioned.""Yes.""I've been checking further.""And?""It doesn't appear only in Daniel's file."Alex became still."Where else?""Property records. An old company transaction. And one other document.""What document

    Patricia barely slept.Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the photograph.Alex.Smiling.Holding another woman.The image had burned itself into her memory.By dawn, the rain had stopped, leaving Nakuru wrapped in a blanket of mist. The cool morning air drifted through the cracked kitchen wind

    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.
