The Wife He Never Married 83
JUNEI shook my head. “No,” I replied but my voice came out barely above a whisper. “I’m just…” My voice disappeared. “So exhausted.”He nodded once and the understanding in his eyes made something inside me ache.“I’ll take you home.”As he reached for the door, I caught his sleeve. “My dad…” He looked back immediately. “How is he?”“He’s been doing fine.” I searched his face for any sign that he was lying. “The old man’s stronger than you think.”A shaky breath escaped me. “As long as he’s okay…” My throat tightened. “…I’ll be okay too.”He didn’t answer, instead, he simply looked at me and his hand rose slowly until both palms cradled my face, his thumbs brushing lightly beneath my eyes.There was so much in his gaze that I couldn’t name from relief to fear to affection to gratitude.He leaned closer, instinctively, I stopped him. “My breath probably smells terrible.”For the first time all day, the corner of his mouth lifted. “June, baby. I'm only going to say this once. I don’t g

JUNEThe click of the handcuffs unlocking echoed through the interrogation room louder than it should have and for a second, I simply stared at my wrists. Finally, thank God. The metal fell away, leaving behind angry red marks that circled my skin like bruised bracelets, I rubbed them instinctively, my fingers trembling as feeling slowly returned.Across from me, the commissioner remained standing, his expression wasn’t warm, but it wasn’t accusing anymore either. “You can go.”Just like that with no apology or explanation, just… go. For days, it had felt like these walls would become my entire world. The cold gray room, the buzzing fluorescent lights overhead, the smell of stale coffee and disinfectant that had seeped into everything, even into me but I was free yet my legs didn’t move immediately because freedom felt strangely unfamiliar.One of the officers stepped forward and placed a clear plastic bag on the table, inside were my belongings.“My things?”He nodded and I reached

DANTE“Diane made me do it and I… I needed money.” She covered her face. “And she was offering so much for me to keep an eye on June. I did just as I was instructed to do.”I remained perfectly still. “Is that why you also stole her research?”She nodded, unable to look at me, lowering her hands again.“I thought…” Another shaky breath. “…I thought I could just look the other way.”Her tears finally spilled over and guilt covered every inch of her face, but I didn’t give a fuck about that, she did what she did and now June is being blamed for it. “You made my wife upset,” I let out, my voice as calm as I could muster. “She spent another night behind bars because of you and she fucking cried because of you.” I held her gaze without blinking. “You don’t get to apologize and walk away from that, you’re definitely going to pay for it.”She nodded almost immediately. “Okay.” Her voice was small. “First,” I spoke again, “get your phone, go on Instagram and do a live video. I want you to t

DANTEBy the time Raphael parked outside the small duplex, the knot in my chest had tightened into something almost unbearable.The neighborhood was quiet… too quiet even though children rode bicycles farther down the street while an elderly woman watered flowers on her porch, completely unaware that a few doors away sat someone who might hold the answers that had turned June’s life upside down.I looked up at the modest cream-colored house to see that the curtains were drawn, but one car was parked outside, which meant that someone was home.Raphael shut the laptop. “This is the address.”I nodded once. “Let’s go.”Raphael had texted Enzo the address and he walked over to us as we stepped out of our own car. Enzo rolled his shoulders beside me. “I’ve been sitting in cars all day.”Raphael glanced at him. “Try acting like a civilized human being for five minutes.”Enzo looked offended. “But I always do.”“No, you don’t.” Raphael deadpanned. “You convince yourself that you do.”“Can y

DANTEEveryone looked to see that the woman wore a distinctive bracelet around her right wrist, it was silver, thick and impossible to miss.I turned toward Raphael. “June doesn’t own anything like that.”He nodded slowly. “She hasn’t worn jewelry except—”“Her engagement ring.” The words left my mouth instantly. “She’s worn it every day.”Raphael zoomed in and the bracelet became clearer but there was no ring on her fingers. “I’ll see if we can identify whoever this is.”“Be fast about it.”The detective suddenly pushed back his chair.“That’s enough.” His tone hardened. “I’ll take it from here, this is my job not yours.”I looked at him but I didn’t answer him, instead I turned toward the chief.“If the investigation had already answered these questions…” I gestured toward the frozen screen. “…we wouldn’t be sitting here.”The chief’s expression remained unreadable, then he finally spoke.“Detective.” The man looked over. “I expect cooperation.” A brief silence followed. “You’ll wor

DANTEI stood beneath a wall of cameras and microphones pointed toward my face as reporters called out questions over one another until every word blended into meaningless noise.The detective looked pleased, not openly because he was smarter than that but I had spent my entire life reading people. His shoulders were too relaxed, his answers came too easily and he wasn’t investigating anymore, he was selling a story.Raphael stepped beside me, tablet tucked beneath one arm.“Everyone,” he said calmly, his voice somehow cutting through the chaos without needing to rise. “Before conclusions are made, there are several facts the public deserves to know.”The detective’s jaw tightened but Raphael finished explaining to the reporters and whoever was watching.The cameras immediately turned toward him and I folded my arms across my chest.“Now everyone knows something else.” Every head turned back to me. “The child’s mother isn’t beyond scrutiny either, she is far from being a saint.”The d

JUNEThe first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was Rick.He was asleep on his stomach, one arm stretched across my side of the bed like even in sleep he expected to find me there. Morning light spilled through the curtains, soft gold sliding over his bare shoulders, over the silver strands beginn

DANTE“Send me everything you can find out on what Angelo has been up to lately. I want to know what that fucker plans to do next before he does it.” I whispered to Enzo as he took a seat next to me.He nodded, pouring himself a drink and I lifted a brow.“Are you…”“Listening? Of course, I am boss

JUNEWhen I returned home, my father didn’t say I told you so and that alone nearly broke me again. The moment I stepped through the gates with my suitcase in hand, he walked toward me without hesitation and pulled me into his arms.I cried like something inside me had finally shattered beyond repa

JUNEI pushed the front door open slowly and stepped inside the house that had once felt like the safest place in the world. Now it felt unfamiliar and cold, like I was walking through a stranger’s life.The silence pressed against my ears as I dropped my bag beside the couch and stood there starin
