Shocked I took the roses, just then seeing a card peeking in between them.
‘Welcome to Paris Elena~ Your friend Damien‘
“Damien Giovanni.” My breath hitched as my eyes widened with shock.
Unlike me who had completely forsaken him, Alex found himself obsessed with my presence thus the very next morning he ordered his secretary to find out about my whereabouts in Paris and arrange someone to keep an eye on me secretly.
To gather more information about the place I might have gone to and the people I was in contact with, Alex searched through my belongings in the house.
Upon opening my wardrobe, my husband realized that all of the precious jewelry he brought me as a gift remained untouched with most dresses still in pristine condition, only a few regular clothes that I bought with my own money from the restaurant went
missing.
After our argument Alex wanted to burn all of my items yet the untouched things made him freeze.
“Strange, a greedy woman like her…why would she leave all this?” Alex muttered under his breath rummaging through my items when suddenly a document fell out.
