The Wife He Replaced CHAPTER 43
CHAPTER 43Victor's pov My legs felt like they were stuck in the mud. I stood by the glass door of the diner, water dripping from my jacket and making a puddle on the floor. I was breathing hard. I could barely get any air. Everything around me just stopped. The noise from the neon sign and the rain outside just disappeared.I could not look away from the corner booth. That is where Rita was. She was pressed against the seat, her eyes wide with fear. She looked at me like I was a stranger like I was someone who was going to hurt her. She was shaking a lot.Then my eyes moved to the little girl sleeping next to her. The pink blanket had slipped down. The light from the diner was shining right on her face. I felt a pain in my chest like someone had punched me.It was like looking at a picture of myself when I was a kid. She had dark curly hair like me. She had the jawline as me, the one my mom always said I got from my family. Even the way she slept with her lips parted was like me whe

CHAPTER 42 Rita's pov The kitchen was really dark. I could not see my hands. The silence in the penthouse was so loud it hurt my ears. My heart was beating fast. It felt like someone was hitting my ribs with a hammer. I was holding Aria tightly against my chest. She was. Had her arms around my neck."Mommy, " Aria said quietly. Her voice was full of tears. "I am scared. Why did the lights go out?""It is okay baby, " I said. I tried to sound calm. "It is a storm outside. The lights will come on. I promise."Maya was moving around on the floor near the kitchen island. I heard her shoes scrape against the wood. Then I saw a yellow light. She had found her flashlight. The light was moving around the room. It showed how scared Maya was. Her face was pale. She had deep lines on her forehead."The phone is dead Rita, " Maya said. Her voice was shaking. "There is no service. No signal. Nothing. Ethan's system is not working either. The security panel is completely black."I felt sweat on t

CHAPTER 41Victor's povThe rain was coming down hard pouring down on the built skyscraper like a million tiny drums. The metal frame. Groaned in the wind the only sound in the empty dark space. I did not care about the rain. I did not care about the mud over the floor. My blood was racing, hot and angry like a fire burning out of control. I had been following Raymond's signal. It had led me straight to this abandoned yard. I was not leaving until I got some answers.Through the light I saw Ethan standing near a wooden desk packing up his leather briefcase. He thought he was alone and that he had hidden her away perfectly.. I knew better. "Ethan!" I shouted, my voice cutting through the sound of the rain like a knife.Ethan jumped, spinning around fast. His hand hit the desk knocking a metal flashlight to the ground with a clang. When he saw my face his eyes went wide with fear. He quickly got control of himself. He glared at me, his jaw clenching hard. I could see the muscles in his

CHAPTER 40Kate's pov The cheap yellow wallpaper in the motel room was peeling at the corners. It smelled of cigarettes and sour bleach. I sat on the edge of the mattress. My legs were curled tight against my chest. The springs inside the bed groaned loudly every time I moved. This place was disgusting. It was a hole on the edge of the city. A million miles away from the luxury penthouse and the velvet sheets I deserved.My hands were shaking much. I could barely hold my phone. On the cracked laminate table to the bed sat my laptop. The screen was still glowing white. It showed the confirmation page of my offshore bank account.*Transfer Complete: $4,500,000.*I had taken the money from Victor's account. I did it before Adrian Cole and his security dogs blocked the hospital exits. I had to run down the laundry chute in the basement. I had to escape them. My expensive silk blouse was torn at the shoulder. My palms were. Bloody. I got hurt scrambling through the gravel parking lot in t

CHAPTER 39Rita's pov The kitchen inside the penthouse was huge, cold and entirely made of marble. It looked beautiful like a picture in a magazine. It did not feel like a home. It felt like a museum. I stood in front of the stainless steel stove staring down at a pan of boiling pasta. My hands were shaking a lot and the metal spoon kept clicking against the side of the pot.I was trying hard to breathe normally. Every muscle in my back was tight aching from the fear that had been pressing down on me for hours. Every time the refrigerator made a clicking sound my heart jumped into my throat."Is it almost ready Mommy?" a small sweet voice asked from the kitchen island.I forced a loving smile onto my lips and turned around to look at my daughter. Aria was sitting on a barstool, her small legs swinging back and forth in the air. Her long dark curls were a little messy. She was wearing her favorite oversized yellow pajama shirt. She looked so innocent. She looked untouched by the man w

CHAPTER 38Victor's Pov I stepped inside the entrance hall of my home slamming the big wooden front door shut behind me. The sound echoed through the quiet house like a loud bang. The marble floors under my shoes felt cold. The air inside the house felt thick and heavy like a tomb.My chest was. Falling fast. My hands were clenched into fists at my sides, my knuckles hurting from how hard I was squeezing them. The signed confession from Anna was burning a hole inside my jacket pocket. Every word she wrote down was like a knife twisting in my gut.Kate had done it. She had stolen five years of my life. She had turned me into a monster who threw his pregnant wife out into the freezing rain."Kate!" I shouted into the house. My voice cracked, raw with a mix of anger and deep painful sadness. "Kate! Get down here now!"No one answered. The only sound was the ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner of the big hallway. The house staff was completely gone and sent away hours on my or
