Her Husband's Secret Affair novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Where is everyone?” she muttered, glancing around.

The lunch bag in Sophie’s hand felt heavier than usual as she walked into her husband’s office. She had been excited to surprise him, imagining how he would feel when she handed him his favorite meal.

But instead of the usual hum of activity, the office was eerily quiet. His chair was empty, and even his secretary was nowhere to be found.

With a frown, she stepped out and headed for the receptionist downstairs. The young woman behind the desk smiled brightly as Sophie approached.

“Good afternoon, Mrs. Kelvin! How can I help you?”

“Do you know where my husband is? Or his secretary? His office is empty,” Sophie asked, her voice calm but tinged with curiosity.

The receptionist hesitated for a moment. “Oh, um, Mr. Kelvin rushed Miss Brenda to the hospital. I think it was an emergency.”

Sophie’s heart skipped a beat. “Which hospital?”

“St. Mary’s. The family hospital.”

“Thank you,” Sophie said briskly, already heading out the door.

Her thoughts raced as she drove to the hospital.
