All Chapters of Craving My Ex-Wife : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

For a few seconds, I couldn’t say anything.Bryan’s question kept ringing in my head. “Why do so many people suddenly seem interested in Bruno?”I stared at him, trying to figure out what he knew and, more importantly, what he didn’t know.“I don’t understand what you’re trying to say,” I finally said.Bryan didn’t take his eyes off me. “You understand perfectly, Lily. Don’t try to play dumb now.”“No, I don’t understand anything, Bryan. I’m as confused as you are.”“You’re hiding something, Lily. I can feel it.” He said.My heart pounded. “I already told you everything I know.”“Then why did you look scared when I mentioned Evelyn?” He demanded.“I wasn’t scared, I was only…stunned.”“You were scared. Stop lying to me.” He added.I stood up from the couch. “I think you’re reading too much into everything.”Bryan stepped closer. “Lily, stop lying to me.”I forced myself to meet his eyes. “Yes?”“What did Evelyn say to you?” He asked.I opened my mouth, but before I could answer, my ph

The house was unusually quiet without Lily around.I sat alone in my late stepmother’s study, surrounded by boxes I hadn’t opened in years.Dust covered almost everything and tere were old books, a bunch of photographs, receipts of things she had bought, letters she wrote and ones that were written to her, documents I had never bothered to look through.I had spent most of my life avoiding this room.There were too many memories here which made me remember my childhood, many things connected to a woman who had been part of my life for years before she died.I dragged another box toward me and opened it.I checked and found nothing useful. “Why did I even bother coming here.” I muttered to myself. I sighed and leaned back in the chair.I wasn’t even sure what I was looking for.Maybe I just needed something to occupy my mind.After everything that had happened with Lily, my thoughts had become impossible to control.She was hiding something.I just knew it. She tried hiding it but her

“Ma’am, the man you asked me to investigate has changed his location again.” I stared at my investigator through the phone, struggling to keep my frustration under control.“He changed his location to where?” I asked.“That’s the problem. We haven’t been able to establish that yet. The last address we traced him to was empty when my men arrived.” She responded.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.Of course, nothing could ever be straightforward when it came to finding my mother.First, the investigator had shown me a photograph of a man I vaguely recognized. Now, that same man had seemingly vanished into thin air, taking whatever answers he possessed with him.I had spent the past few days trying to remember where I had seen his face and had examined the photograph so many times that I could practically picture every detail of it without looking.Still, nothing came to mind.“Keep looking,” I instructed. “I don’t care how long it takes or how many people you have to speak to. Fi

I was getting tired of being the person everyone forgot about.It has gotten out of hand and I’m so sick of it. A lot is going on and I don’t even know what’s actually happening anymore.From figuring out Evelyn’s pregnancy to her suddenly showing up willingly, being in communication with Bryan, a man she so much hates and still trying to find her mum. Now, it has gotten to her being the heir to Helena’s estates and the company?This can’t be. It definitely can’t happen on my watch, I’ve sacrificed so much to be here and she’s going to take it just like that? Absolutely not! Even if it takes me forever, I’ll take back what’s mine back. Evelyn and her endless problems never ceased and Bryan suddenly decided that whatever had happened years ago was worth digging up, as if he had nothing better to do with his time. Now, even the people who were supposed to be helping me had started asking questions I couldn’t answer.And Bruno?Bruno had disappeared completely.I threw my phone onto th

I had read Evelyn’s message six times, and it still annoyed me. It has been the same messages over and over again. “If you have anything concerning the inheritance, please direct it to my lawyer. I have already told you that I have other priorities.”That was all she had sent me the previous evening after I tried calling her for the third time.I couldn’t even blame her for being rude to me or anyone associated with me because I had given her enough reasons to distrust me, and showing up at her shop with Lily beside me hadn’t exactly helped matters. Still, I couldn’t understand how she managed to shut me out so easily. We were married for years, I mean..that should still make her reconsider her decisions but no, she has turned out to be the most adamant person ever.I thought Lily was stubborn but I’m wrong now, because Evelyn has turned out to be the most stubborn person I’ve ever met.Most people would have jumped at the chance to become the controlling shareholder of Kingsley Hold
