Collateral Wife SHE DIDN'T ABANDON ME
CHAPTER 49ZOILA'S POVThe house was at the outskirts of the city, old and lonely, almost empty but we could tell there was someone inside from the smoke coming out of the chimney. After all the digging and non-stop investigation, we ended up here, Dev and I.We had done everything we planned to do; read through the documents from the accident and gathered a list of people who were never found at the scene of the accident. We also got the names of people who were found but did not reconnect with their families. I reached out to them from the numbers in the log book and most of them confirmed that they reunited with their families on a later day, others had changed their numbers and so there was no way to reach them. Devon called the women who had been travelling with babies to find out if they had found their children after the accident or if they lost them at sea.We did everything we could, really but got nothing. My mom and Dad found out we were looking into the accident, their co

It was still quite early in the day so the restaurant wasn't filled with people, they were probably at work already.Andrew had managed to send Trisha away despite how curious she was to understand the situation and find out what was happening.

CHAPTER 51ARIANA'S POVMy hands were queasy and moist and I wiped them severally on my dress. The others had left us alone to talk so we sat, facing each other in awkward silence. We had both ordered coffee and some cake. We took a few bites in silence. I had never been this nervous in my life, not even when Jonathan had told me he still loved me years after his marriage. This was so much different. I knew I had told her that she didn't have to accept me, that she didn't have to go home with me and let me be her mother for once, but in truth, that was all I wanted and it would be devastating if she didn't want me in her life.I took a sip of my iced Americano and studied her features as I looked at her. She had similar features to mine but her smile was definitely Jonathan's. She had a dimple on both her cheeks which I didn't have. She got it from her father. Her face shape was his too. I knew this because I knew him pretty well and his face was still etched on my mind. I had forgott

CHAPTER 55ANDREW'S POVFlying an aircraft was one of the things my father taught me. He did it for the fun of it and soon, I fell in love with piloting too. Back when my father and I were close, he would bring me with him when he wanted to travel on his private plane, that way, we could practice before returning.
