The Wife He Replaced chapter 21
CHAPTER 21The file was sitting on Victor's desk like it had been waiting for him just as a toddler waits for their mummy.He didn't touch it away. Didn't even look at it at first."Sir, the lab sent this in this morning, " his assistant said, standing by the door. "Do you need anything ? " He said standing beside the door Victor kept looking at his laptop. "No.Then the door closed softly behind his assistant as he left. Then the room became quiet.He leaned back slowly. Rubbed his tired face. "This is stupid " he said to himself.Finally he looked at the white and plain sealed file on his table. He tapped his fingers on the desk once. Twice.Then he picked it up. Calmly opened the seal like he was scared of the contentHe pulled out the paper. Unfolded it. His eyes scanned the words quickly at first like he didn't care.Then he read slower. Then he just stared.The result said: Not the father.Victor blinked. He read it again, again and again as if that would change the resul
The Wife He Replaced chapter 20
CHAPTER 20 Victor did not need confirmation anymore.He already knew.Rita had a child.That much had been obvious from the moment he overheard her voice days ago. Soft in a way he had never heard before.Not for him.Never for him.That was not what kept him here. It was the question that refused to leave him alone. Who is the father of Rita's child?And importantly.Why does something about Rita's child feel wrong?"Sir."Victor did not turn."Sir, you have been standing here for ten minutes."Still nothing.A quiet sigh came from behind him before footsteps moved closer."You are starting to look like a stalker. That is new."Victor finally glanced sideways."Careful Adrian Cole."Adrian Cole smirked slightly adjusting the cuffs of his suit like he had all the time in the world."You called me out here for something, " Adrian Cole said. "Not to watch your ex-wife Rita leave work like a man who lost control of his life.""Rita is not my wife.""Legally? No " Adrian Cole shrugged. ".
The Wife He Replaced Leave My Space
Chapter 19. Rita's pov I heard the door open.I didn’t turn around. Because I already knew who it was. I didn’t rush to react.I just let the silence go on.. enough to make his presence feel… pointless.“You’ve become hard to reach.”His voice. Calm. Measured. Like he hadn’t broken anything.I slowly closed the file in front of me before looking not at him but at my reflection in the glass wall.“You shouldn’t be here.”You shouldn't be barging into my office without knocking.“I knocked.”“And I didn’t answer.” That’s when I turned around.Victor stood a step inside my office completely at ease like he owned the place. Like this was another room he could walk into and take control of.That version of me is gone. “What do you want?" I asked, my tone flat.“Clarity.” I almost smiled.“Try a lawyer " I said, picking up my pen again like he was already dismissed. "That’s what they’re for.”“I’m not here for stuff.”“No?" I looked up at him now, meeting his eyes fully. "Then you’re defi
The Wife He Replaced What Refuses to Stay Buried
Chapter 18: Rita's Pov.The lawyers office smells like wood and old money. This makes sense. Everything about coming here feels like I am stepping into a past that I had sworn never to touch again.I stand by the window with my arms folded staring at the skyline that I once called home. The skyline looks the same. Cold, distant and unforgiving. This is like the man who ruined my life Victor.The lawyer says, "Miss. Rita, the documents are ready." I turn slightly. Nod at the elderly lawyer seated behind the desk. My grandmother's will is open before him. It is neat, and official.The lawyer continues, "This confirms the transfer of ownership once you sign. However there is a clause that requires a witness from the representative assigned to your case, Rita." My fingers tighten slightly at my sides because I know what this means. I already know who the witness is.I say, "I am aware." I do not need the lawyer to say Victor's name. I already know that Victor is the one who will be witne
The Wife He Replaced No Running
Chapter 17:Rita’s POVI need to avoid him. That is my plan.It is simple and clear and necessary. It is also impossible.I spent the morning doing my job making sure I did not see him. I changed my meetings. Made my conversations shorter and I left the rooms before he could come in.I thought about everything I did. I was careful. I am not scared of him. I do not want to say that I am.There is something about Victor that makes me feel like I am not in control. That is something I do not like. I have worked hard to be in control of my life.I do not want anything to change that. My assistant came to my office.“Miss. Rita, the board is waiting for you " she said.“I will be there in five minutes, " I said. I did not look up from my tablet. My voice was calm and professional.That is how I wanted it to be. My assistant waited for a second then she. Left.I let out a breath when the door closed. I had five minutes to get ready. I had five minutes to make sure I did not react when I saw
The Wife He Replaced The First Crack
Chapter 16: Victor's POVSomething felt off.I had this feeling in the back of my mind for days. At first it was easy to ignore.. Tonight it wouldn't go away.It kept pushing. Getting sharper. I had to think about it. I sat back in my chair. Tapped my fingers on my desk. I stared out the window at the city lights.Rita. Just thinking about her felt... Weird now."Shes hiding something " I said to myself.I knew it. I just didn't know what. Then I heard a knock. The door opened."Sir?" someone said. I didn't turn around. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. "What is it Daniel?"Daniel came in with some files. "The files you requested sir." I looked at them for a second. They were Rita's records.Her work history. Travel logs. Business connections. Everything looked clean.Too clean. I let out a breath. "Leave it."Daniel hesitated. "Do you need anything "I thought for a moment."If someone disappears for five years what do you expect to find?" I asked. There was silence.
