His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 76

Chapter 76

Day 1:

1 dialled Sophia for what I think would be the hundredth time since I retrieved my phone from Lily. She wasn’t home but she’d left my phone with one of her housekeepers, in case I turn up for it. I didn’t understand why she wouldn’t tell me about my phone, but I didn’t have the time to. I needed to find my wife.

The divorce papers, they weren’t supposed to be made today. They were made six months ago when we signed our first contract. All I wanted was to get rid of her, so I’d asked my lawyer to serve her the papers when our six months end.

Which happened to be the day she was returning, the day I didn’t have my phone, the day she came home to my absence and saw the papers waiting for her.

But how could she leave?

How could she not have enough faith that after all these months, we were real?

I was going to find her and chain her to me, that was for sure..

I ended up at her hometown with hope in my heart that shattered the moment I saw her grandfather’s house with a huge lock on it.

If she hadn’t come here, where was she?

There had been no transactions on my card.

Where was she?

My phone buzzed in my pocket. “Any word on Luna?” ask Peter as soon as I answer.

“The CCTV footage saw her leaving with Mrs. Whitlock from the back door, which is why even her personal security didn’t see her leave.” Peter confirmed what I already knew. “I contacted Luna’s friends, but no one has heard anything from her.”
