The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 158: The Woman Who Knew
Patricia stood frozen beside the cracked wall.The woman's whisper still echoed in her mind.Not yet, Patricia.Alex moved closer.“Patricia?”She didn't answer.Her eyes were fixed on the narrow passage where the black file had disappeared.Bethwel raised his flashlight.“Everyone, stay back.”Rose didn't move.She was staring at the darkness with an expression Patricia had never seen on her face before.Fear.Not suspicion.Not caution.Fear.“You know her,” Patricia said.Rose shook her head.“I know what she is capable of.”“That's not an answer.”“No.”Rose looked at Patricia.“It isn't.”Patricia stepped toward her.“Then give me one.”Rose took a slow breath.“Number One isn't the person I thought she was.”Alex frowned.“You just said she was alive.”“She is.”“Then what changed?”Rose looked toward the tunnel.“She knows us.”Patricia's heart tightened.“She knows me.”“Yes.”“How?”Rose hesitated.“Because she knew you before you knew yourself.”Patricia stared at her.“What
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 157: The Second Disappearance
Patricia stared at Rose.“She is the reason Daniel disappeared the second time?”Rose nodded slowly.Patricia looked down at the photograph again.Grace stood beside the unknown woman.Between them was a little girl.The girl's face was turned slightly away from the camera, but Patricia could still see enough to recognize something familiar.The eyes.The shape of the mouth.Something about the child unsettled her.“Who is she?” Patricia asked again.Rose's voice was barely audible.“I don't know what name she uses now.”“That isn't what I asked.”Rose looked at the photograph.“She was Number One.”Patricia's fingers tightened around it.“You said Number One wasn't a child.”“I said Number One was the person who created the list.”“And now you're telling me she was a child?”Rose closed her eyes.“Because both things can be true.”Alex stared at her.“How?”Rose looked at him.“Number One was the first child placed into the program. Years later, she became the person who continued it
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 156: The Woman Behind the Wall
Nobody moved.Patricia stared at the cracked wall.The words still seemed to hang in the air.“Number One.”Alex tightened his grip around her hand.“Stay behind me.”Patricia barely heard him.Her eyes remained on the opening.“Who is Number One?”No answer came.Bethwel raised his flashlight.“Everyone, step back.”He approached the wall carefully.The crack had widened.Behind it was darkness.Not a room.A narrow passage.Alex crouched beside the opening.“There’s air coming through.”Bethwel looked at him.“Meaning?”“Another space behind the wall.”Bethwel studied the stone.“This wasn't shown on the original building plans?”Alex shook his head.“Not the ones we have.”Rose suddenly spoke.“There were never supposed to be plans.”Patricia turned.“What do you mean?”Rose looked at the wall.“Some parts of this place were built after the quarry was abandoned.”“By Daniel?”“I don't know.”“You always say that.”Rose's face tightened.“Because sometimes I truly don't know.”Patri
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 155: The Voice in the Dark
“Don't trust Rose.”The words lingered in the darkness.Patricia could hear her own breathing.Then Alex's hand found hers.“Stay close.”A flashlight clicked on.Bethwel's beam cut through the darkness, sweeping across the walls, the shelves, and the open doorway.Nothing.No child.No person.No movement.Patricia stared toward the far end of the room.“Did you hear it?”“I heard it,” Bethwel said.Alex nodded.“So did I.”Rose remained motionless.Her face was pale.Patricia turned toward her.“You knew that voice.”Rose looked at her.“No.”“You're lying.”“I don't know who it was.”“Then why aren't you surprised?”Rose opened her mouth, but no words came.Bethwel raised a hand.“Everyone stays where they are.”He moved slowly toward the tunnel.His flashlight stopped on the floor.Small footprints marked the dust.Patricia's heart jumped.They were tiny.Bare feet.Fresh.“They weren't there before,” Alex said.Bethwel crouched.He touched the dust beside one of the prints.“Fres
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 154: Number One
Rose did not blink.Patricia held the phone between them, the anonymous message still glowing on the screen.ASK ROSE ABOUT NUMBER ONE.Alex read it over Patricia's shoulder.Bethwel's hand moved instinctively toward his radio.“Lock down the tunnel,” he ordered.The two officers behind them immediately moved to the entrance.Patricia barely noticed.Her eyes remained fixed on Rose.“What does Number One mean?”Rose said nothing.“Rose.”“I told you,” Rose whispered. “Some answers are dangerous.”Patricia stepped closer.“So are lies.”Rose looked at the photograph in Patricia's hand.For several seconds, something passed across her face.Pain.Then fear.Finally, resignation.“Number One was the first.”“The first child?”Rose nodded.Alex frowned.“We already know Patricia was Number Four. So who was Number One?”Rose looked at him.“A child who was never supposed to survive.”Bethwel's expression hardened.“That's a serious statement.”“It is.”“Then explain it.”Rose turned toward
The Wife He Betrayed Chapter 153: The Name She Was Given
The sound of the ambulance door closing echoed across the quarry.Patricia stopped walking.For a moment, she simply stared at the vehicle.Mercy was inside.Alive.Bruised.Exhausted.And somehow, everyone had almost forgotten the most obvious thing.She needed help.Patricia turned sharply.“Where is the officer who stayed with her?”A female police officer stepped forward immediately.“Here, ma'am.”Patricia looked toward the ambulance.“Is she being attended to?”“Yes. The medical officer is checking her injuries now. Inspector Kanda ordered that nobody leaves her unattended.”Patricia's shoulders dropped slightly.“Thank you.”She looked at Rose.Rose had been staring toward the ambulance too.“She's been through enough,” Patricia said quietly.Rose nodded.“She shouldn't be alone.”“She won't be.”Bethwel approached them, his expression grim.“I've assigned two officers to stay with Mercy. One will remain beside her during the medical assessment. If she needs to be taken to hosp
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 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

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'
