Billionaire’s Ex-wife : Craving You

Chapter 116

DAVID

PRESENT TIME

I found myself alone at home, the music playing softly in the background, contemplating why things weren’t unfolding as I had meticulously planned. The frustration was annoying the heck out of me.

As I continued to mull over my thoughts, the unexpected sound of the doorbell pierced the quiet of the house. I reluctantly left the comfort of the sofa, hoping it was Hazel, a welcome presence. To my dismay, the sight that met me was not Hazel, but someone entirely unexpected and, truth be told, unwelcome. “What are you doing here, June?” I asked, genuinely puzzled as to why she was in Seattle.

June brushed past me and made herself at home, seating herself on the sofa as if it were her own. “It was you, right?” she questioned, her tone confrontational. Her unatinounced presence had caught me off guard, and I wasn’t exactly thrilled to see her.

I took a seat beside her on the sofa, crossing my legs in a composed manner. “What are you talking about?” I inquired, feigning ignorance.

June scoffed at my response. “Don’t play dumb, David. I know you were the one behind the abduction of the little girl,” she accused, shaking her head in disapproval as she leaned forward to pick up a wine bottle, taking a direct swig from it. “Aren’t you even curious about why I’m here in Seattle?”

I couldn’t help but answer her question with a hint of indifference. “Are you going to answer my question?” I asked, my tone portraying my lack of enthusiasm. In all honesty, I wasn’t particularly interested in her reasons for being in Seattle. “The sooner you do, the sooner you leave my house, right?”
