A Lifetime With You

A Lifetime With You Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Somewhere abroad.

Damien’s efforts to track down Beth had been unfruitful. He came close several times, but that evil woman always managed to slip through his fingers. He paused and thought carefully about the possibility of someone abetting Beth. Perhaps she had friends in high positions. “Go and check on Enrico, see if he is doing anything out of the ordinary,” Damien ordered his men. “Sir, you’ve had us watch Enrico right from the beginning, but he doesn’t seem to be doing anything suspicious.” “None at all?”

Damien’s heart leaped.

Maybe he was overthinking it after all. Enrico had no obvious connection to Beth, so there was no concrete reason to suspect that he was the one who helped her from the shadows all along. Damien knew his own brother well, that he would never lift a finger if there was nothing to be gained from it. “Assign two of your men to continue the search here. If they manage to catch Beth Nagel, extradite her to the country at once,” Damien ordered. He had been abroad for a few days now with nothing to show for it. Damien could not afford to linger too long because there were pressing matters that needed his attention back at home.

His phone rang at this point.

The international call was from Ava.

“What’s the matter?” He asked. There was a short silence on the other end, then followed by Ava’s hoarse voice, “Damien, I need you. When are you coming home?” He was taken aback. He then glanced at the time before he answered her, “Tomorrow.” “Alright, I’ll be waiting for you.” Then she hung up. Indeed, some things couldn’t be disclosed over the phone. Though it might be even more difficult to convey them face-to-face.

The next morning.

Damien boarded the earliest flight back to the country and rushed home as soon as he disembarked.
