Chapter 81
Pichard lost track of how long he sat there feeling miserable. His eyes flew open as he realized something
June loved him. He could win her back. He just needed to find her and win her back. It was easy
He pulled out his phone and called Lucas again 1
“Lucas.” He said firmly, standing from where he sat “Find her now Use all means possible. Contact every connection we have private investigators, social media analysts, airport officials. I want her found now. Do you hear me?”
“Who are we talking about April? Lucas asked with confusion in his voice
Richard growled “No, of course not! I’m talking about June
There was a small pause “But I thought you wanted her out of the way to claim April for yourself” Lucas said slowly
Richard faltered, as he remembered their discussions from a few days ago. He had boldly claimed that all he cared about was April, but now he wasn’t so sure 1
“Are you stupid, Lucas? June is divorcing me! If we don’t handle this carefully, it could ruin me–ruin us, our business, reputation, and my father will kill me Richard snapped
“Find her!” He barked into the phone with a tone of anger.
“Got it start right away, Lucas responded quickly!
Richard ended the call and began making some calls also. With his father’s influence and money, he could make anything happen.!!
He was on a call when the door burst open, and April stormed in. Her hair was disheveled, and she clutched a bundle of papers in her trembling hands. Her face was pale, her eyes were wide with panic!
“Richard!” she shrieked, holding up the papers. “He divorced me! Killian divorced me!“X
“What?” Richard blinked at her in confusion.
April thrust the papers at him. “Killian. He divorced me, Richard! He cleared out our entire place–everything–and put the house up for sale. I just found out! My clothes, my jewelry, everything is gone!”
Richard scanned the papers in April’s hands. Divorce papers, just like the ones June had left for him. Tears streamed down April’s face as she continued speaking.
“He didn’t even confront me! No warning. No chance to explain! As if he had already been planning for it for a while! I’m pregnant for goodness sake!” She wept
Richard realized that it was exactly the same thing with June. She had left him the same way. When had she found out? Were the two of them working together? Richard asked himself.X
call.
Just then, Richard’s phone rang again. It was Lucas. His eyes widened. He must have news about June. Richard quickly picked the
“Tell me you have found her, Lucas”
“L…I think you should turn on the news.” Lucas said slowly with a foreboding tone that caused Richard’s heart to race in his chest. The last time Lucas had told him to check the news, it hadn’t ended well.
He shakily picked up the remote and turned on the TV. His mouth gaped open as he stared at the screen in shock.
Kilkan had his arm around June with a smile on his face as he waved to the press. Richard stared at June as she smiled at Killian, placing a kiss on his cheeks.
-Italian Bilbonaire, Killian Romano announces his divorce to April Winslow, and announces his engagement to June Winslow, former wife of Richard Thome-
“What?” April shrieked in outrage as she stared at the screen. “Engagement?”
Richard blinked several times. Maybe he was hallucinating. How had that happen? Killian and June? As far as he knew, June and Killian had barely interacted with each other!
Realization struck him, and he chuckled, shaking his head.
“Why are you laughing, Richard? Is anything about this funny? My sister has stolen my husband!” She shrieked.
Richard smirked smugly, “Relax April, June is just trying to get my attention, to make me feel jealous. Don’t worry. s fake. I think it’s the same thing with Killian. They’re trying to get our attention.”
He placed his phone back to his ear. “Where are they?” he asked, staring at June on the screen with a small smile on his lips.)
“Italy” Lucas replied.
“Okay, thank you,” Richard said, disconnecting the call.
“What is going on, Richie? April asked, holding on to his arm.
“You and I know that Killian and June have nothing to do with each other. They’ve barely interacted with each other, so how did they get married? This is just a ploy to make us feel jealous,”
“So, are you ready to go on a road trip to Italy to get our spouses back?” Richard asked.!!
Apni looked hesitant for a moment, so Richard stepped closer to her, wrapping his arms around her waist. “Come on, it’ll just be like one of our vacations.” He said softly, pulling her close to him.
“What will happen to us, Richard? When we get them back, are we done?” April asked, looking up at him
Richard gave her a small smile, rubbing her cheek gently with his thumb. “You and I can never be done. We’ll lay low for a while, let
