Husband you’ve abandoned me. Fine, I’ll focus on raising my son

Chapter 282: Another dead end

I looked up at the house before me. I was at one of the new apartments that Edward either acquired or rented out at some point for whatever reason.

There were several police cars not he scene already and searching through tithe e place. As I near the entrance the group of three police men talking looked my way.

“Good morning, Mr Acland,” One of them greeted me.

“We think we found something sir,” one of the police men on the sc. “We have found several secret chambers and hidden passages underneath the house that we will begin going through and searching today.”

“Okay,” I allowed them to continue as we walked to the house entrance.

“The place used to be an old mine of all the other properties this one is showing the most promise he told me.

I inspected the house common rooms with the officer/

I opened my email and was met with a message from an unknown email number. the same as the email I was sent by the

’Only five days left Keith. Better have the paperwork signed and ready.’ The email read.

My eyes widened immediately and I widened in horror as I quickly read through the

“I want you to trace where this email came from now!” I ordered one of the men.

“Yes, sir,” he replied and got straight to it. I followed them as he brought back a laptop and sat down at one of the tables in the dining room. Immediately he began tracing

I watched him as he worked anxiously waiting.

It was around an hour later when I received an update on the sender of the email.

the email was sent by the same anonymous sender who sent the ,”

I looked up and kicked the table nearby. The men all shook and looked at me in concern.

Diana and Edward were really taking a piss now. The taunting had gone too far. He was really challenging me. Telling me do you think you can actually find your son… Diana I will kill you when I get my hands on you.

I would take him up on his challenge.

Unfortunately the only thing I could do was continue investigating him. Since he refused to talk I would prove that I wouldn’t let him win.

I stayed with men as we went through the property and searched for the items.

We searched and looked under every door, bookshelf for any secret passages.

Just as the police had searched in every other one of his properties. We found nothing and I found myself feeling tired.

Later that day when I returned home it was so late in the night past midnight.

I couldn’t see Jasmine. It was late.

I wasn’t going to sleep anyway.

I feel like Edward was doing this on purpose. I thought to myself. He hired and rented out several properties to slow us down and would end up in an unfruitful back and forth that led no where.

The following morning I didn’t I didn’t get to see jasmine before I left again.

I couldn’t tell her about the email I had receive the day before. It would only stress her out more. She already stressed about Anthony as it is.

I was lucky she didn’t try to fight it when I refused for her to come with me this week. She usually puts up a fight when she wants to do something I suppose now that she was starting to fall for me that was going to change .

Upon arriving at my estate later that evening I decided I would greet Jasmine first after not having seen her for almost two days now.

I got out the car in estate driveway and entered the mansion. In the foyer I was met as usually by a servant waiting for me and two guards by the entrance.

“Where’s my wife?” I asked on of the men as the maid took my bag, and suit jacket from me.

“She’s in her room, sir,” he informed me.

I then went to the second floor and walked over to her room. When I reached her door and knowing she was probably working, without knocking I entered her room.

My eyes immediately landed on her as I walked in. Just as I had suspected I found her in her seating area writing and working.

Papers were scattered all over the table of her seating area. I knew she was trying to figure out her suspicions about Edward.

I admired her dedication. However, I didn’t want her to worry herself. If only I did my part well she wouldn’t have to be working. I could only imagine what I would see written all over papers once I reached the table.

She immediately looked at me as soon as I walked towards her. She quickly looked down at her papers then back at me.

“Hey, Jasmine,’ I started as I stood right in front of her. She wore joggers and a tank top, her hair was loose and fell past her shoulders.

She then stood up from the couch and knocked over some the papers she was working on.

“Do you need some help? I offered as I looked down at the papers on the floor. I was about to bend down and help her pick up the papers. She was even stepping on the papers.

However, I was taken by surprise when Jasmine raised her hands and grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me down.

“Jasmine?” I asked, taken aback as I met her eyes wondering what she was doing. She then smashed her lips into mine.

My eyes widened in shock and my body froze. What in the world? Was I imagining this? Was this real? It only lasted a moment, a couple of seconds before she piled

“Sorry was that so sudden?” She asked me. “I was just so worried since I hand’t seen you for a while.”

My expression crumbled as I found my hands tightening around her and kissed her again.
