The Maid Was His Missing Wife
Chapter 2: The Wife Who Disappeared
After Alexander revealed Claire's identity, the entire hotel changed.
The employees who once ignored Claire suddenly treated her differently.
But Claire hated it.
She did not want sympathy.
She did not want people looking at her because of Alexander's name.
She had spent two years trying to build a life without him.
And she did not want to return to the world that destroyed her.
Later that night, Alexander found her outside the employee entrance.
"Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
Claire looked at him quietly.
"Would you have believed me?"
Alexander had no answer.
Because the truth was complicated.
Two years ago, Claire was not a hotel cleaner.
She was Alexander's wife.
The woman who stood beside him when he built his first company.
The woman who believed in him when nobody else did.
But everything changed after Alexander's father died.
The family company was suddenly at risk.
Alexander became obsessed with protecting the business.
And someone used that moment to destroy their marriage.
Victoria.
She was not just a wealthy woman.
She was the daughter of one of Alexander's biggest investors.
She convinced everyone that Claire was only interested in money.
She created fake evidence.
She made Alexander believe Claire betrayed him.
And the worst part...
Claire never defended herself.
Because she discovered something even more painful.
She was pregnant.
And someone had threatened her unborn child.
So Claire disappeared.
She left everything behind.
Including Alexander.
Now, standing in front of him again, she finally asked the question she had carried for two years.
"Did you ever believe I betrayed you?"
Alexander looked away.
The answer hurt.
Because once...
He did.
"I was wrong."
Claire smiled sadly.
"Being wrong doesn't erase what happened."
Before Alexander could respond, his phone rang.
It was his assistant.
"Mr. Whitmore, we found something about the documents from two years ago."
Alexander became serious.
"What documents?"
The assistant hesitated.
"The ones that proved Claire betrayed you."
A pause.
"They were fake."
Alexander's face changed.
Because that meant one thing.
Someone destroyed his marriage on purpose.
And that person was still close to him.
