Chapter 0002

The next morning, after spending yet another night at the hospital because Anne's pain had kept her from letting him leave, Dylan was finally on his way to the office.

As they approached an intersection, he suddenly instructed the driver, "Take me to Bayview Heights."

He had been wearing the same clothes for two days and needed a change.

Otherwise, he wasn't too keen on returning to that place.

Upon arriving at the villa, instead of the warm welcome he might have expected, he was met with an eerie silence and a chilling sight on the living room table—a divorce agreement!

Dylan's gaze lingered on the signed divorce papers and the keys resting on top.

With an unreadable expression, he paused for a moment before turning and heading upstairs.

This was his first time entering Suzy's room.

They usually lived separate lives, like oil and water, never mixing.

The room was as clean and orderly as he expected.

Over the past three years, she had personally taken care of his every need.

It was hard to deny that in some ways, she had been a competent wife...

Realizing his thoughts, Dylan's brows furrowed, and he stepped forward to open her wardrobe. Clothes and jewelry, everything related to the Wright family were still there.

Just as she had written in the divorce papers, she had left without taking anything, leaving with nothing but the clothes on her back.

So, her cries of impending death that day, were they all just an act?

He sneered. “Suzy, I'm curious to see what game you're playing this time.”

His phone rang.

Pulling it from his pocket and seeing the caller ID, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes—a feeling he might not have even noticed himself.

"What is it?"

On the other end, his assistant sounded particularly anxious, "Sir, Miss Wheeler has had an accident!" His brow tightened immediately. “I'm on my way!”
