The woman they tried to bury Chapter Sixteen- A GIRLS TRIP
John POVI heard a faint creak by the door. Tricia’s room was just across from mine. Instinctively, I got up from my desk and stepped into the hallway—just in time to see her quietly shutting her door.“Where the hell have you been?” I said, my voice sharper than I intended.She froze, startled. Slowly, she stepped back out. Her lips parted, but no words came. I rubbed a hand loosely over my arm, trying to stay calm. She kept her head down, avoiding my eyes.“This isn’t the first time. Or the second. Or the third,” I said, my voice rising with each word. “What the hell is wrong with you?”My anger was bubbling, slow and steady. It just didn’t make any sense. If she couldn’t pick David up from school, the least she could do was call.“I’m sorry,” she muttered. “I had a spa appointment this evening. It was supposed to last two hours, and then I planned to head straight to pick up David. But I… I fell asleep after the treatment.”She stepped closer, but disappointment was already heavy o

I glanced at my watch. 12:20 p.m.Not a great first impression.I was supposed to meet with the private investigator Kim had recommended. She spoke highly of him—said he was the best. We’d agreed on noon. It had been over thirty minutes, and I was still sitting alone in this café, nursing a second cup of coffee just to avoid looking like the awkward woman staring into space with nothing on her table.“Sorry I’m late,” a voice said from behind me.I looked up as a man approached and slid into the seat across from me.He looked… off. Not what I expected at all. Thin-framed, with a checkered shirt buttoned too high, round glasses that magnified his eyes a little too much, and a bag clutched tightly to his side. He looked like someone who belonged in a library, not tailing suspects.“I’m Benny Clark. The private investigator,” he said, extending his hand. I shook it cautiously.“Olivia Davis. Nice to meet you.”He kept adjusting his glasses, twitchy and fidgety, like the seat had pins.“S
The woman they tried to bury Chapter Fourteen- I LIKE YOU
“Mmm, this steak though.”I popped the last bite into my mouth and closed my eyes, letting it melt on my tongue. It was perfectly seasoned, tender enough to fall apart without effort. It deserved silence, reverence even.“You’re such a foodie,” Robert said, grinning at me across the table, his eyes crinkling at the corners.I opened one eye and smirked. “Can you blame me?”Honestly, food was one of the few things that still brought me joy—predictable, uncomplicated joy. I was just thankful for the metabolism I’d been blessed with. No matter how much I indulged, my figure stayed relatively untouched—curvy where it needed to be, slim where it counted.The waiter came by to clear our plates. As I watched him gather the dishes, I felt the weight of someone’s eyes on me. I turned my head slightly—and sure enough, Robert was looking straight at me.Not just a glance. A gaze. One that lingered.He didn’t look away when our eyes met. Didn’t even blink. There was something about the way he sta
The woman they tried to bury Chapter Thirteen- He Must Never Know
Chapter 12 – John“Why was she wearing your coat?” Tricia snapped the moment she got into the car. I’d been expecting this—had seen it simmering in her eyes back in Livia’s office—but she’d kept herself in check then, probably to avoid confirming any whispers about our marriage. Now that we were alone, she didn’t hold back.“Tricia, don’t start,” I said calmly, opening the driver’s door. She threw herself into her seat with a dramatic huff.“Stop saying that!” she barked. “Why the hell was she wearing your coat, John?” She twisted her body toward me, hands on her hips, like she was ready for war.“Because she was cold, alright? That’s it. She was freezing, and I—”“Oh wow,” she interrupted. “I didn’t know you were a Cold Patrol officer now. What, she doesn’t own a coat? That stupid bitch probably left her brain behind too.”“Don’t talk about her like that,” I said, my tone low and warning.Truth was, I wasn’t even comfortable giving Olivia the coat in the first place—not because I did

That bitch.From the moment she stepped into my life, the darkness she carried was impossible to ignore. I could feel it, crawling under my skin. I know she conspired with my mother-in-law to get me out of the picture, and John? He was too blind to see it. And now he’s married to her. What an idiot. He has no idea who he’s living with, no clue what she’s capable of just to get what she wants.But I’ll make them pay. Fate brought me back here for a reason. To get my revenge.A subtle knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Rob walked in, a smile stretched across his face like nothing in the world could shake it.“Hey, you,” I said, adjusting in my seat as he stepped closer.“Can I?” he asked, gesturing to the chair across from me.“Of course,” I replied with a scoff.He leaned in, those intense dark blue eyes flickering with something unreadable. They made me slightly uneasy—nervous, even. Then he smiled again.“How’s your first day going?”Oh boy. Where do I begin?It started

The day hadn’t started cold, and for that reason, I left the house without my coat. I figured I’d be fine in just my brown shirt and a pair of black pants—minimal but decent. Besides, the sun was out when I stepped out of my apartment. But by noon, the cold had crept in—slow at first, then sharp and biting. A not-so-subtle reminder that winter was knocking, uninvited and early.“You’re shivering,” John said, breaking the silence between us. He was seated across from me in my office, papers spread across the desk between us like a protective wall. It was our first official day working together, and up until that moment, it had been—surprisingly—smooth.He had come into my office not long after I arrived, greeted me politely, and handed over some paperwork relating to the company’s expansion into the American pharmaceutical market. He spoke with clarity, walking me through the complexities I didn’t quite grasp yet, pointing out what trends to look for, which regulations to note, how th
