Unveiled: The Survivor's Triumph

Chapter 257

Chapter 257 Afraid of Separation

I finally tracked down Emily. And guess what? Faris was there too, with his leg all bandaged up.

Emily slapped Richard hard. She was beyond pissed, and after what Richard spilled last night, it hit me just how trapped and powerless Emily had felt through all this mess.

At that moment, I wasn't really questioning much. My heart was too busy being scared out of its mind at the thought of losing her.

All I felt was relief. But deep down, I was beating myself up. I was a lousy husband. I didn't protect her, and she kept getting hurt because of it.

The mountain road was cleared, but still pretty slick. I carried her down.

We didn't say much on the way. Later, Emily broke the silence, telling me there was nothing going on between her and Faris.

Honestly, that wasn't even on my mind. I was quiet because I was terrified.

I kept losing Emily and then finding her again. What if one day I couldn't find her? That thought scared the hell out of me.

I wondered, 'With all the secrets between us, what if they come out one day? Would Emily leave me then?'

When Victor threw a welcome dinner for Richard, Emily didn't go, and I didn't push her because, to be honest, I didn't want to go either.

At the dinner, Linda wouldn't stop talking. Even though hardly anyone was responding, she was still super animated. She was clearly thrilled about Richard being out.

I wasn't feeling it. I left early.

Emily went to Sophie's place. Later, she called and said she was staying there for the night.

The next morning, Emily called again, saying Sophie's kid was missing.

I didn't expect Richard to just take the kid home. I figured Linda was behind it.

Sophie was devastated. She'd do anything to get her kid back. So, I helped her call the cops. It seemed like the only move.

I knew what Linda was up to. She wanted to use the kid to make Sophie give up on Richard.

I couldn't stand irresponsible guys. I even wondered if Richard was really Victor's son. But now, I had no doubt. They were so alike. Richard had definitely inherited Victor's cold and ruthless streak. After things settled, Richard took off on his motorcycle, the engine roaring like crazy.
