The Wife I Never Met
Chapter 85

“What do you mean? Is he really Maggie’s son? But he was with Ciara just the other day”

Mark asked in confusion, he was embarrassed by how he acted when he saw Liam with Ciara the last time but also felt that it wasn’t something he should beat himself about. If Liam is Maggie’s son then he’s more like family to him.

” yes that’s because they are friends.” Wilson failed to mention that Liam and Ciara were a married couple as that would reveal his hypocrisy.

Liam saw what was happening there and also noticed the change in attitude displayed by Wilson. He did not have the energy for the two men so he turned around and left. His only mission right now was to replace his wife.

He walked back in to his car and called his friends Finnick and Matthew to his house, he could use some extra brain and pairs of hands in this search.

When he arrived he found that Matthew’s car was already parked waiting for him to come back. Both Finnick and Matthew were using the same car.

They got off the car and followed Liam in as he walked straight to his study, where they started discussing everything, they opened the camera surveillance from the time Liam left for work and saw Ciara going in to the bedroom and after some time she came out holding a full weekend bag and placed it on the couch and walked up again but this time went to the study and they could see her writing something on a piece of paper, once she was done, she walked out then went to the bedroom. Again she spent some time in there and came out wiping tears in her eyes, the piece of paper was no longer in her hands but she only had a hand bag with her. She took her weekend bag and headed out, when she reached the door she glanced at the house one last time, took a deep breath left. The camera shows her getting in to a blue branded meter taxi and driving off.

” At least she left on her own and wasn’t kidnapped.” Matthew blurted out, but Finnick gave him a nudge with his elbow as if saying ” now is not the time.”

“What? What I mean is that at least she left a letter for Liam, all we need to do is replace that letter maybe she did say where she was going.”

Speaking of the letter, Liam stood up and quickly left the office and went to his bedroom to look for the letter, with Finnick following behind and sat quietly on a sofa in the room while Liam was standing right in front of the bedside table, looking at the small black elegant box sitting on top a white paper. He ignored the box and took the piece of paper underneath.

“My Dearest Love.

Today I made the toughest decision of my life, and that is to completely leave the city. Please do not be mistaken, I love you so so much, I really do and it is because of this reason I left. I wanted to protect the people I love the most. The company is going through a lot because of me, my family is also being poisoned. It was up to me to stop all of this from happening. Wilson was right about one thing though which is ‘you will never be able to fully take care of the crisis at the company as you are more concerned about me.’ you have built a great name for yourself and I don’t want to take that away from you. I could not bring myself to watch as the company go down knowing very well that I am the reason for that.

Take this time to fix the company, take care of Wilson for me as I do not have the power to fight him.

He asked me to divorce you in exchange for the company and the lives of my loved ones, but I just couldn’t. I know I’m being selfish, running away from everything yet still denying you freedom, but it is because I love you so much that I can’t bare to cut ties with you. I have bought you a ring which is similar to the one I am wearing right now. That ring symbolizes our union and love, like I said don’t forget to celebrate our love each and every day.

You are the only man for me and will always be in my heart. Take care of everything first, don’t rush here. I have removed the tracker from the watch and changed my number but I know that with your capabilities you will be able to replace me within a day but please don’t do that. For our sake and your family’s legacy please deal with the root problem, I’ve tried my best but failed, all I can do now is dissappear and hope that you will conquer and return to me.

I Love you more than anything can describe.

Take care of yourself. “

By the time he finished reading the letter, tears had formed a glass layer on his eyes. He got even angrier with Wilson and was sure to come for him with everything he got. He slowly shifted his gaze from the letter to the small black box, then he opened it and found the most beautiful ring he had ever seen. Most probably because it was the last gift he got from his missing wife. He took out the ring and wore it on his ring finger and then smiled faintly.

‘ now everyone will know I’m a married man.’ he thought to himself, it was a pitty though that his wife wasn’t around so that he could show her off to the world. He vowed that was exactly what he will do once everything is settled.

Just then Matthew came in the bedroom rushing as if something or someone was chasing him.

Both Liam and Finnick looked at him in annoyance, he had just ruined Liam’s moment.

” Hey man, I did not mean to go through your things but you have got to see this man.”

Liam’s eyes shifted from Matthew to the brown envelope in his hand. Yes it was the same brown envelope handed to him by the doctor the last time he took Ciara to the hospital.
