The Wife You Shouldn't Have Lost 039
“You’re welcome, Miss Layla. I’ve been waiting for you,” the waitress said, grinning from ear to ear.Layla wasn’t surprised that she had been expected. Seeing that Sophia had already assigned someone to wait for her, it only showed how desperate she was for this meeting. But for what exactly?She returned the smile without a word and turned on her heels. The waitress led her to a room and stopped.“She’s inside, waiting for you.”Layla nodded and reached for the doorknob, pushing it open.There she was—seated, casually eating. She didn’t even bother to look up, continuing as if Layla hadn’t entered.Layla knew better than to wait for an invitation. She stepped in without hesitation, unbothered and unafraid of whatever this meeting might bring. It was time that Sophia was put in her place.Part of her believed that if Sophia had never been in the picture, things might have been different; she might have had a better relationship with her son. But because of her, nothing had gone in he

The moment Layla arrived at the office, she headed straight to inspect the work done the previous day. The construction company had done a thorough job, so clean that nothing hinted at the damage, unless you already knew what had happened.Satisfied, she returned to her office and settled into her chair, giving it a slow twirl.A few minutes later, one of her employees walked in with her coffee and placed it gently on the desk.“Thank you. You can go,” Layla said, reaching for the cup.She lifted it halfway, then paused.The woman hadn’t moved.Layla set the cup back down, her gaze sharpening as it settled on her. “I said you can leave. Why are you still standing?”The woman didn’t respond.Her fingers twisted into the fabric of her clothes, pulling it tight. A thin line of sweat slipped from her temple, trailing slowly down her face.“Ma… it’s…” Her voice faltered, her grip tightening as more sweat gathered along her forehead.Layla’s eyes flicked briefly to the air conditioner. She

It hadn’t been more than twenty-four hours, and they had already found him. Joshua was good with things like this, which was why he didn’t hesitate to leave it to him. They left Adrian’s house and urged the others to go home, informing them that there was something they needed to attend to. Ethan was the one who drove them home, while his brother, Joshua, took their father to the location where they were holding the suspect. As they arrived, they could hear cries and the sound of whips cutting through the air. He was already being punished, which Joshua didn’t remember authorizing. “He’s being punished?” Harthwore asked. “Yes. But I didn’t instruct them to do it.” “Maybe he’s refusing to admit it. That should be the only reason they’re whipping him.” Joshua said nothing further and led him through the building until they reached the room. The men halted their flogging immediately, stepping aside to make way for Harthwore. “You’re sure he’s the one?” That was the first question

“What do you mean the gunshot was aimed at someone?” Ryan asked as he fixed his friend’s injury. Adrian was exhausted by his questions and didn’t bother responding. The pain from the shattered glass sent sharp signals through his head, making it difficult for him to keep his eyes open, and Ryan’s talking only worsened it. Ryan pulled away after stitching his wound. He dropped the aid box and sat down next to him. “I’ll give you some drugs. Make sure you don’t skip them.” “Can I have them now? Maybe it will help with the pain.” Ryan excused himself to get the drugs. Just before he returned, there was a knock on the door. As soon as Adrian looked up, his father was already making his way inside. He scurried toward him, pulling him into a hug. “I’m glad you’re okay.” Adrian simply allowed it. His father didn’t get to hug him that often, and today, he chose to stay in his embrace. He was still wrapped in the hug when his stepmother marched into the room, and suddenly, the atmosphe

“We can find him within twenty-four hours. It shouldn’t take longer than that,” Joshua said to his father as he watched the clip he had been given. His tone was firm, filled with anger and determination to get his hands on the man.“Go ahead. I want him found. He needs to tell us who he’s working for.”Joshua nodded and placed a call, issuing instructions from where he stood.Harthwore’s mind wasn’t at ease. He wasn’t convinced by what they had seen—the sunglasses alone proved there was more to it.If the glasses didn’t belong to any of the employees, then the man in the footage had to be the owner.He might not have been wearing them, but they were connected to him. Perhaps he had taken them out and forgotten to put them back.After a few minutes, Joshua finished giving detailed instructions and ended the call, turning back to his father.“I’ll forward the clip to them. By dawn, we should have something on him.”His father nodded as Joshua proceeded to send the footage to his team. T

The sound of items shattering on the floor made the maids rush out from the kitchen into the living room. They froze, staring at the destruction their boss had just caused.Glassware and flour jars lay scattered everywhere. They grew nervous and didn’t dare move any closer, afraid of getting hurt.She had never been kind to any of them, and no one was willing to risk approaching her now."What should we do?""I don’t know. But I’m not the one going over there to stop her. Look at how aggressive she is.""But what could be making her act this way? She doesn’t look normal."They fell silent, until one of them shifted her gaze to the television in front of them. She pointed toward it—Layla’s picture filled the screen."That… the news—that’s it," she said, connecting the dots."She’s moved on and has her own family. Why is she still obsessed with her?"She shrugged, glancing at the others. "They’ve been scheming a lot, and it’s all because of Miss Layla.""I must admit, I was shocked when

The fire had already been extinguished by the security personnel even before the firefighters arrived. They had wasted no time after alerting the family and the firefighters, doing everything they could to minimize the damage.The family arrived at the scene, the smell of smoke filling their noses.

It had been a long night for the Harthwore family. Both couples couldn’t bring themselves to sleep after what they had witnessed the previous day. When they got home, Layla hadn’t said a word about it, and they hadn’t asked if she knew Ashley was married to her ex-husband.To make matters worse, sh

Father! You made it." Ashley rose from her chair with excitement, hurrying to pull him into a hug. “I was just asking about you from Mother.” “I had to attend a meeting, and I’m just coming from there,” he responded, his gaze settling on Nolan, who didn’t immediately meet his eyes. Layla had no is

Natasha didn’t know that Nolan was the one she had been married to all this time. She knows her daughter's story with him, but she had never imagined Ashley to be the woman who led to the separation of her daughter's marriage. She glanced at her daughter, who had a smile on her face, and it only
