Semua Bab THE HUSBAND I NEVER MARRIED : Bab 1 - Bab 9

Amelia stared at Sophie, waiting for her to laugh and admit that the entire conversation was some terrible joke. But Sophie remained silent, her fingers tightly wrapped around the cup of coffee she had barely touched.“You were at my wedding?” Amelia finally asked.Sophie nodded slowly. “Yes.”“And you never thought to mention it?”“Amelia, please. There are things you don't understand.”“Then explain them to me!” Amelia's voice rose. “I woke up this morning believing I was single. Now I have a photograph of myself wearing a wedding dress, a stranger claiming to be my husband, and my best friend telling me she attended a wedding I don't remember. What exactly am I supposed to understand?”Sophie glanced around the café before leaning closer.“You married Alexander Hayes three years ago. It wasn't a big wedding. Only a few people were invited, and you wanted everything kept private.”“Why would I keep my own wedding private?”“I don't know. You have to ask Alexander.”Amelia shook her

Amelia pushed her chair back so quickly that it scraped against the floor. Her eyes remained fixed on the man outside the café, but by the time she reached the entrance, he had disappeared into the crowd.She stepped onto the pavement and looked in both directions.Nothing.“Amelia!”Alexander's voice came from behind her. He had ended his phone call and was now approaching with a worried expression.“What happened?”“The man outside. Did you see him?”“What man?”“The one wearing a grey coat. He was standing near the window, watching me.”Alexander looked towards the street. His expression changed when she showed him the photograph from the envelope.“Where did you get this?”“Someone delivered it to my apartment last night.”He studied the picture carefully. “I know him.”Amelia turned towards him. “You do?”“I believe his name is Marcus Reed. He used to work for my company.”“Used to?”“He resigned shortly before you disappeared.”“Why?”Alexander returned the photograph to her. “I

Amelia couldn't take her eyes off Victoria.The older woman quickly locked her phone and slipped it into her handbag, but the damage was already done. Amelia had seen enough to understand that someone was warning Victoria about her.“Who sent that message?” Amelia demanded.Victoria looked away. “It doesn't concern you.”“Someone just told you to stop me from finding an original file. What file?”Alexander stepped closer to his mother. “I want an answer too.”Victoria took a deep breath. “You both need to calm down. You're making assumptions based on a message you weren't supposed to see.”“Then explain it,” Alexander replied.“I can't.”“Or you won't?”Victoria said nothing.Amelia picked up the hospital photograph and placed it inside her handbag. “I'm going to find Dr. Rachel Morgan. If she knows anything about my past, she can tell me herself.”“You shouldn't go looking for her,” Victoria warned.“Why? Are you afraid she'll tell me something?”Victoria's silence was enough to make

The apartment remained dark, and Amelia could hear the handle moving from the other side of the door. Richard quickly pulled her away from the entrance.“Stay behind me,” he whispered.“Who is out there?”“I don't know, but we need to leave.”Richard reached for his phone and switched on the flashlight. Amelia grabbed the envelope containing the photograph and followed him towards the kitchen.The knocking stopped.A moment later, someone spoke through the door.“Mr. Carter, we know you're inside. This doesn't have to become complicated.”Amelia recognised the voice.It was the same man who had delivered the mysterious envelope to her apartment.Richard froze.“You know him?” Amelia whispered.Richard nodded reluctantly. “His name is Peter. He used to work for Victoria.”“Why would someone working for Victoria be looking for you?”“I'll explain everything when we're somewhere safe.”Richard opened the kitchen door, which led to a small passage connecting the apartment to the building'
