The Lingering Kiss of Farewell Novel

She held out her phone and showed Marilyn a picture she’d found of the woman. “She’s also deceased from what I can tell. She died years ago. She was married to some billionaire out here, Calvin Reeves, owner of C.R. Technology. No wonder everyone is staring at you.” Marilyn was reading an obituary notice for…

“Looks an awful lot like Marrin,” he muttered as he stared at her photo. “I know, but she’s not,” Wil stated. “She’s been writing books for 10 years. That’s before Marrin went missing. Before you divorced her, you can actually google the woman, and see her first books when they were published everything both online…

She sighed. He closed his eyes and wondered if it was time to out the truth of the situation; that he’d divorced Marrin only to have her disappear. But he’d kept that to himself. Only three people knew other than the judge that had approved the divorce. “It’s not her,” he repeated himself, and didn’t…

He was already ticked off. “Is that important?” Calvin asked. “Just Anabell, she misses me.” he smiled and got up. “Did she get to meet that author she likes?” Calvin asked him. “Mm, she did, signed her book a second time as well.” Wil nodded with a smile. “Get a pic with her, isn’t that…
