All Chapters of The Wife He Never Knew : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Violetta could not let it go.She had seen Evelyn Miller with her own eyes.She had stood less than five feet away from her, studied her face and heard her voice. The resemblance to Shirley had been too strong to dismiss, yet Evelyn had denied knowing who Shirley was with such ease that Violetta had left the office questioning herself.For the next several days, she tried to find an answer.She searched Evelyn's name and she searched E.M. Jewelries.She searched old business records and industry articles.But there was nothing.Evelyn Miller's private life was almost impossible to trace.Her business history was there for anyone to see. E.M. Jewelries had grown fast, and Evelyn had built a name for herself within five years. There were interviews about the company, articles about its success and endless photographs of its jewelry.There was almost nothing about Evelyn herself.No old photographs, no family history and no information about where she had lived before establishing the

Damien drove away furious.He gripped the steering wheel as Evelyn's house disappeared behind him.The kiss should have been the only thing on his mind.For a few seconds, it had been.He could still feel her lips against his. He could still remember the way her fingers had curled into his shirt and how she had kissed him back instead of pushing him away.Then that man had stepped outside.Damien's jaw tightened.Who the hell was he?The man had come from inside Evelyn's house. He hadn't looked surprised to see her standing outside with Damien. If anything, he had looked irritated.Damien's mind immediately went where he didn't want it to.‘Was he Evelyn's husband or her boyfriend…perhaps, someone she lived with?’The thought made his grip tighten.He reached for his phone and called his detective. The detective answered after the second ring.“Hello, Mr. Schrett.”“Stop the investigation immediately.”There was a brief silence.“Sir?”“Stop looking into Evelyn Miller.”The detective

In a few days, everything seemed to be crumbling in on Damien. Evelyn didn't reply to any of his texts nor his calls. She pushed all official meetings that would put her in direct contact with Damien to her assistant to handle. On the other hand, Violetta was pumped about the wedding. She kept nagging Damien to inform Theodore about their marriage but he never obliged. Until one day, Violetta went behind Damien's back and called Theodore. She told him that she and Damien had something to tell him and framed it to Damien as though they had been invited to lunch. They arrived in time for lunch at a fancy restaurant. He had his suspicions when Violetta called him earlier that day but he wanted to be sure of what they had to say. In the early minutes, they sat to discuss business. But that didn't last for long because Theodore never really liked Violetta. He had his doubts about her and Damien being together and that got to him. Violetta did not wait for dessert.Damien had bar

It was a still night when Damien arrived at Violetta's place. He had a gift placed in a fancy flowery bag. “You're late.” Her tone was even but she wasn't upset. “I had to make a stop before coming.” “Where?” “Doesn't matter. I got you to this.” He dropped the gift on the table. It was a small box. Her eyes widened in amusement. Damien barely got her gifts in a long while. She took it out of the bag and shook it vigorously. “Is this what I think it is?” “You should open it.” She did as he said and the excitement on her face doubled. “Wow”, Violetta yelled. She threw her arms around Damien instantly.“I love this.”Damien forced a smile. He watched Violetta admire the gift and his mind cast back to earlier in the day. Roughly around 2:00 pm, right after speaking to Violetta on the phone, he picked up his keys for a drive. He had no specific location in mind but all he knew was he wanted to cool his brain. Just then, he saw one of E.M. Jewelries' stores.He almost drove

Violetta stayed in the reception area.She had already been there for forty five minutes, but she did not complain. She had almost walked away twice, but something kept pulling her back to the question that had been bothering her since she arrived.‘Who was Peter and what was his connection with Evelyn?’She had seen him at Evelyn's mansion before. Now she had seen him here too.There was clearly more to their relationship than Evelyn wanted her to know…perhaps more than Evelyn anyone at all to know. When the secretary finally appeared at the door, Violetta stood.“Ms. Miller can see you now.”“Thank you.”She walked into Evelyn's office.Evelyn was seated behind her desk, going through a file. She looked up when Violetta entered.“You waited for forty five minutes…impressive.”“Mm”, Violetta sighed.“So what did you come for?”Violetta smiled and took the seat opposite her.“I originally came here for a specific purpose, but something else caught my attention.”Evelyn already knew w
