Chapter 19 - Chapter 18 Cadmus

I tried to ignore my mother's pleas to look for her. At that time I couldn't bear to even think about her.

But I couldn't see what that could be. Diana had never mentioned anything dark in her past, and though she didn't like talking about her family, I'd just assumed that they'd had a rocky relationship like so many others do. I knew her dad was dead and had been for a while, but she never spoke of her mom or any siblings, so I got the impression that she was all alone in the world.

That had only made me want to love and protect her even more, and I'd gone out of my way to be all that she'd ever need. Mom had treated her like the daughter she never had, something that was very surprising for my staunch mother, who tends to keep everyone except family and her closest friends at arm's length.

But from the very start, she'd taken to Diana, something that had pleased me immensely. After Diana left, mom had been almost as hurt as I was, but she'd been afraid as well, constantly pestering me to call the police or hire an investigator. She'd been convinced since day one that something had happened to my wife, now ex.

When I had seen the the divorce papers I thought that someone had kidnapped my wife and was trying to get back to me by doing it but when I saw that she had really left me without any reason I couldn't bear it . I still don't know why she divorced me.

this question has always haunted me .
