The Wife He Replaced chapter 27
CHAPTER 27Rita's povAs soon as Ethan asked I looked down. He was asking about Victor."What really happened between you and Victor?" My chest started to feel tight.The question I had been trying to avoid.Not just from Ethan. From myself too.Talking about it would be like reopening wounds. Wounds I had spent years trying to bury.To be honest some days I wasn't even sure if they had fully healed. The office suddenly felt quite.I leaned back in my chair. Tried to laugh but it came out awkward."It's a long story, " I said. Ethan didn't. Even blink. He just kept watching me like he already knew the answer was important."Okay, give me the short version then, " he said softly.I looked out the window. People were moving normally on the streets. My heart was beating faster for no reason.Maybe there was a reason. Victors words from earlier were stuck in my chest."Whoring around again." I pressed my lips together tightly."He's a nightmare I don't want to remember, " I said quietly.

CHAPTER 26Rita’s POVI walked away before he could see how much his words hurt me.My heels clicked on the marble floor fast and really hard but I did not slow down. If I stopped moving I knew I would lose it there in the lobby.I did not want to cry in front of Victor Vale.Not again.Not ever again.The elevator doors. I stepped inside really quickly. The second the doors closed I could finally breathe again."What just happened..." I whispered to myself.My chest hurt a lot. It was not a little hurt.It was the kind of hurt that feels like it is inside your ribs and it spreads slowly until it is hard to breathe.Whoring around with guys like I did before.I closed my eyes tight.God. Out of all the things he could have said...He said that. My fingers shook a little at my sides.I hated that he still had this effect on me. I really hated it. It has been five years.Five whole years.I survived things other than Victor's words. I survived leaving New York by myself. I survived bein

CHAPTER 25Victor’s POVI walked out of the building. My chest felt like it was burning.Everything was getting on my nerves.The noise, the people, my own thoughts.I pressed the elevator button hard while Rita's face kept playing in my head.I remembered her smile from earlier. The way she stood beside Ethan laughing like everything was fine.Like nothing had ever happened.Like she didn't just disappear for years. Come back with another man's kid. I pressed the elevator door then stepped inside Soon as the doors closed I rubbed my face roughly."What's wrong with me?" I said to myself.I already got the answers I wanted. The kid isn't mine so why am I still so angry?I leaned my head back against the elevator wall. Closed my eyes for a second.Then I heard Rita's voice in my head again soft and calm saying " morning Mr Victor".Like we were strangers, like we never hurt each other before.My chest got tight. I cursed under my breath.I pulled out my phone. Told my driver to bring

CHAPTER 24Rita's POVI woke up feeling really tired. Not a little tired. The kind that feels heavy in your chest and won't go away.My head hurt from not sleeping and my eyes still felt sore from staying up late talking to Aria on video call.She talked nonstop at night. About school.About her cartoon. About how she misses me already even though we talk every day.Me?I spent the call pretending everything was okay.Pretending New York wasn't overwhelming me.Pretending Victor Vale wasn't getting harder to deal with every day.I gripped the steering wheel as traffic moved slowly ahead of me.The city looked the same. I hated how quickly old memories came here.Every street reminded me of something.Every building felt familiar. I shouldn't have come back. It was too late now.By the time I reached the office building I was already running late.People moved in and out of the lobby while security greeted employees near the entrance.I adjusted my blazer. Headed inside.The second I s

CHAPTER 23Kate's povI did not sleep at all. Not for one minute.Every time I close my eyes I hear his voice again.“Yes make sure the results comes out soon”Those words kept going over and over in my head like they were poison.I sat on the edge of the bed staring into the darkness while Victor slept beside me like nothing was wrong.His breathing was calm and steady but mine was not.My heart would not slow down as I was thinking, what if Victor knew?What if somebody talked? What if the lab made a mistake?I grabbed my phone. I checked the time.It was 2:43 a.m. I had already called Anna four times. She did not answer.That scared me more than anything. Anna always answered my calls. Always.I got up quietly. walked to the bathroom before Victor could notice that I was shaking.The second the door shut behind me I dialed Anna's number again.It. Rang, but she did not answer. It went to voicemail. "Damn it.". I called again. She still did not answer.My chest felt tight. "Pick

CHAPTER 22Kate's povI had a feeling the moment Victor stopped paying attention to me upstairs.Victor Vale never ignored me, not completely.On his bad days he would always come back to me.He would touch my waist. Ask me a question and I could see it in his eyes when I spoke.Lately his mind was somewhere else.Rather it was with someone else.Rita.Just thinking about her name made me angry.It had been five years. She still had this effect on him.It was not right.I walked out of Victor's office with my purse on my shoulder, my heels clicking on the marble floor.The building was quiet now most staff had gone home.Victor was not inside.I frowned."Where did he go now?" I said to myself.I pulled out my phone to text him. Something told me not to.So I went to the parking area downstairs.Then I saw his car and the engine was off. The headlights were off.Victor was sitting inside alone still.I slowed down my steps.From where I stood I could see the side of his face through t
