The Woman From Hell

It was already two o'clock in the middle of the night when the plane landed at Whaldorf City Airport.

After bidding Don goodbye, I drove back to the villa.

I threaded lightly to the bed, afraid of waking Theo. I touched the bed and it was cold.

Feeling that something was wrong, I turned on the bedside lamp.

There was no one in bed. Did Theo not come back tonight?

He was not here, so I did not need to tiptoe around. I grabbed my pajamas, washed up, and fell asleep.

When I went downstairs the next day, Caroline saw me and was surprised. "Madam, when did you come back?" "Last night. By the way, Theo didn't come back last night. Has he not been home the past few days?" I asked. Caroline frowned as if thinking back before she replied, "Only yesterday. The sir called home and said that he would be working overtime the entire night and that I did not need to prepare him dinner."

Working overtime the entire night?

Did he have some big project?

I frowned and replied, "I see."

After breakfast, I went to the company.

Shannon pulled me to the side as soon as I entered the office. She looked at me with a heavy expression before pulling me to my seat and having me sit down. "Wanda, you asked me to follow Theo to determine his schedule before you left for Salt City. I did it," she said earnestly.

"What did you find?" I knew that Shannon must have found out something judging from her tone.
