The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Foreman's eyes widened in disbelief. “Joshua? How could it possibly be him?”

Haynes's gaze darkened, his voice low. "Back then, Joshua was in the car with Stella when the accident happened. He was actually more seriously injured than she was. Aside from him, I can't think of anyone else who'd go this far."

Foreman paused, searching his memory. From the start, Joshua had always been something of a nuisance, but never enough to warrant much attention. Sure, the guy was easy on the eyes, but Stella was constantly surrounded by attractive men. Foreman never believed she'd fall for someone as soft as Joshua.

Besides, in every interaction Foreman had observed, it was clear that Stella was focused on her career, with no intention of jumping into a new relationship so soon after her divorce. She was known for being loyal, and there was no way she'd develop feelings for someone else this quickly.

Foreman had bigger fish to fry. With so many rivals to handle, Joshua didn't even make the list.

He turned to Haynes. "Haynie, what makes you suspect him? Sure, he might have a motive, but does he really have the means? Aren't you giving him a bit too much credit?"

Haynes's handsome features were as cold and unreadable as a winter night. "The fact that we can't dig up any real information on him—that's a problem in itself. If he's gone out of his way to hide his identity, do you really think he's incapable?”
