“June, I know you’ve loved me with all your heart these past five years. Don’t worry—our wedding will still take place next month, just as planned.”
Reassured, June’s expression softened.
“Then I want you to promise me—don’t go looking for Ashley anymore. Once we’re married, I’ll give you a child and we’ll live a happy life as a family of three…”
With that sweet dream in her mind, June drifted off to sleep in Fletcher’s arms.
But as soon as she fell asleep, Fletcher’s eyes flickered with thought.
He gently moved her off him, got up and went downstairs.
Dialing his assistant’s number, he said, “You said the hotel housekeeper was using Ashley’s phone?”
The next day, Fletcher received the complete information on the hotel housekeeper.
“Zoey Stone. Female. Thirty-two years old…” The assistant read from the file, his tone cautious.
Fletcher’s brow tightened with every detail.
“We ran a thorough check, sir. As far as we can tell, this woman– Zoey has no connection to Ashley. Honestly, I doubt they even know each other.”
His expression didn’t change. Fingers tapped lightly on the desk. “Okay. You can go.”
From that day forward, Fletcher’s attention began to settle more and more on Zoey.
