THE DIVORCE GAMBIT From Dumped Wife to CEO's Forever novel Chapter 111

Perhaps no one could truly understand what Keira was feeling right now.

She was heartbroken.

Utterly devastated.

At her age, all she ever wanted was to see her family gathered around her, to enjoy the warmth of children and grandchildren.

But what did she have?

Her only son lay bedridden, trapped in an unresponsive body, unable to care for himself.

Her daughter-in-law had vanished without a trace.

And her only granddaughter—no one even knew if she was alive.

How many nights had Keira woken from troubled dreams, her pillow soaked with the tears she'd cried in the darkness?

Seeing her old friend in such pain, Irene's eyes turned red as well. She squeezed Keira's hand. "We'll find her. I promise you, Keira, we'll bring Freya back."

Keira nodded, her voice weary. "I hope so."

She wiped her eyes and forced a small smile. "But let's not dwell on this, Irene. You've come all the way to the capital—promise me you'll stay with me for a few days, at least."

"I wish I could, but work at the institute is hectic right now. I can only stay for three days this time," Irene replied with a gentle smile. "But once things settle down, I'll come back and spend more time with you."

"Don't you dare lie to me," Keira chided, looking at Irene with a half-serious frown.

Irene laughed. "When have I ever lied to you? You know, it's been ages since you visited Silverhaven. Next time, why don't you come with me? I've met a remarkable young woman there—bright, talented, and skilled in traditional medicine. She might even help with your headaches. I'm sure you'd adore her."

"Is that so?" Keira asked, curiosity piqued.

Irene nodded earnestly. "Absolutely. Honestly, I owe her my life. Just last Wednesday, I suffered a sudden heart attack and collapsed in the street. If it weren't for her quick thinking, I'd be ashes by now."

Keira's concern deepened hearing how close her friend had come to death. "She saved your life? Then I must meet her myself!"

She was eager to see if Caitlin was really as wonderful as Irene claimed.
