The Years Between Signing and Seeing novel Chapter 253

As she slept, tears streamed down her cheeks while she pleaded in her dreams.

That night, his wedding night, he didn't sleep at all.

For many nights after, Suzie continued to have the same nightmares. Sometimes she would jolt awake, her tear-stained face filled with fear upon seeing him. Once the fear subsided, she would gently ask him why he wasn't sleeping.

Eventually, he used the excuse of being busy with work to move into the study or spend his nights at the office.

It was only that one night, when he had been drinking, that he and Suzie had truly been intimate. That might have also been the night he somehow broke the necklace she wore. He remembered Martha telling him how frantic Suzie had been, spending days running around, trying to find a professional designer to fix it.

Suzie’s desperate words in her sleep and that 'LOVE' necklace she treasured like her own life became thorns lodged in his heart.

From that point on, Jamie began to investigate.

He chased down every possible lead, first suspecting Oliver, then an old classmate of Suzie's whose mother was gravely ill.

But he found no concrete evidence.

Partly because of what Richard had told him, he had initially tried to slowly build his trust in Suzie.

But then he received an email containing photos of her with another man, tumbling in the sheets of a hotel room. The timeline matched perfectly with the period she had been frequently going out.

He was on the verge of madness.

He wanted to find the man in the photos and tear him limb from limb.

He even considered locking Suzie up in the Baylor Manor and never letting her out again.

After several nights of agonizing turmoil, he proposed a divorce.
