When He Married My Savior in Secret (Freda Lane) novel Chapter 10

Cyril hesitated for a moment, but eventually chose Freda. He stroked Jolie’s hair to comfort her. “My sweet baby girl,– I’m just gonna check on her real quick and then I’ll be right back to my sweetie.”

“Cyril…” Jolie grabbed onto his shirt, looking at him with desperate eyes.

“Be my good girl and wait for me, okay?” There was a hint of barely perceptible irritation beneath Cyril’s gentle

tone.

Jolie reluctantly let go, seething with hatred for Freda inside while still speaking up for her. “Cyril, promise me you won’t be mean to her.”

“Silly girl, worry about yourself. I’ll be back soon.”

Cyril rushed back to the mansion, feeling inexplicably panicked the entire drive, as if something important was slipping away from his life.

Cyril ran to check the study. Everything there was untouched too.

His heart plummeted. He called Freda repeatedly, but her phone stayed off.

He dialed his assistant. “My wife is missing. Find her. I want answers within the hour.”

Something occurred to Cyril, and he quickly opened the safe. Freda’s documents were gone, including that fake

marriage certificate.

Could it be…

Cyril didn’t dare think the worst. He stumbled downstairs, but when he reached the last step, he froze completely.

On the wall that used to be covered with their photos, two lines were written:

[Cyril, you once said that anyone who betrays true love should swallow ten thousand needles. Do you remember?]
