Chapter 8 She’ll Never Come Back
The assistant hurriedly reported, “Mr. Harrington, I’ve hired hundreds of expert divers and over a thousand boatmen to search thoroughly. They started from the incident site to downstream, but still no luck.”
Kaleb’s tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed. He leaned back against the chair. He cased up as he revealed a contemptuous smirk.
“What did I say? She’s always been good at putting on an act. Enough, call everyone back. There’s no need to keep searching.”
The assistant still looked uneasy. “Even if Mrs. Harrington didn’t commit suicide, she’s still missing. What if…”
“She’s definitely hiding somewhere, throwing a tantrum. Just ignore her. Once she’s had enough, she’ll come back on her own.”
After hanging up the phone, Kaleb stared at the photo of the two of us on his desk, lost in thought.
It was taken when I was seventeen, right after a tennis match with him. The sun was shining just right, and my smile was bright.
I saw nostalgia in Kaleb’s eyes.
How ridiculous! Would he really miss our good old days?
Yet he was the very person who destroyed my bright smile.
“Kaleb!” Alena called out.
She locked the door behind her and went straight to sit on Kaleb’s lap.
Never Come Back
Kaleb tried to push her away. “Ally, stop messing around.”
”
“Kaleb, remember how many times we had sex last night? You clearly. love me, too. Why are you pushing me away?”
Pressing her chest against his arm, she whispered in his car. “This used to be Savannah’s room. Don’t you find it even more exciting?”
That shameless homewrecker! She just wouldn’t even spare the last place I called my own.
“Get out! Both of you, get out!”
I screamed with all my might, my rage boiling over, but they couldn’t hear me. They just went on.
Yet Kaleb’s eyes held no desire. I only saw a hint of wariness.
“Ally, no more. It was a one–night stand.”
“Kaleb, don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone. Besides, you didn’t lose anything. I just missed you. That’s all.”
She took his hand and pressed it to her chest. “Feel my heartbeat. My heart’s racing for you.”
But Kaleb, unlike last night, pushed her away without hesitation.
“I’m still tied up. I’m leaving.”
As he walked out, I was forced to follow.
Before leaving, I glanced back. Alena’s face looked gloomy. She looked more like a ghost than I did.
She muttered softly, “Kaleb, too bad. She will never come back.”
Chapter If She il Never Come Back
Her voice was almost inaudible, but I caught her lips forming the words.
Alena definitely had something to do with my death!
She was the one who killed me.
Like a madwoman, I lunged forward, desperate to take her life in return, but I couldn’t move more than three meters away from Kaleb.
All I could do was watch helplessly as Alena’s repulsive face faded into the distance.
Kaleb started the car.
I sat in the passenger seat, my mind racing as I watched the views outside. the window. Could the murderer be a random hitman hired by Alena?
No. Though that person had their face covered, I found their sharp eyes. familiar. I had definitely seen them before.
Last night, after I died, my consciousness detached from my body. Before I could figure out their identity, I had already appeared by Kaleb’s side.
After killing me, that person threw my wedding dress into the water. So where was my body?
I couldn’t understand. If they simply wanted to kill me, they could have disposed of my body along with the dress.
If it was for money, my wedding dress alone was worth millions. Even if they couldn’t sell it as stolen goods, they could have stripped the diamonds and sold them on the black market.
The police report stated that aside from the knife wounds, the dress was intact.
Did Alena know something?
