Chapter 16

Malia stared at it, her hands trembling. There was no mistaking. This had to be Pearl. She searched the picture to see if she could find out when it was taken, there was no time stamp. 

Malia wondered why her husband had another woman's picture on his working desk. She wondered what would happen if she destroyed the picture. 

"What are you doing here?" Grant's deep voice reached her ears from behind. 

She wasn't startled, she didn't jump. She calmly shrugged her shoulders. "I thought that I was in my room," She said and turned her head to slowly glance at him from over her shoulders. "Turns out, I missed my way and ended up in yours."
