Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1151

He didn't keep anything from her. "Keaton said Callum's been out of touch for over a month."

Elysia looked genuinely surprised.

"No way, just the other day he was texting me."

Yeah...

Tarquin thought for a moment before handing his phone to Elysia.

"Give Callum a call, pretend you're asking about Winona."

"Alright!"

Elysia dialed the number. Callum's phone was ringing, but no one picked up. However, just like last time, Callum quickly texted back:

[Bad timing, I'm busy again. Is it urgent?]

Tarquin frowned and coached Elysia to reply, [Yes, it's urgent.]

Callum: [Then text me. I can't talk right now, but I can message back.]

Tarquin's frown deepened. As they exchanged messages, it became clear: the person texting wasn't Callum!

Tarquin's expression darkened. Who was pretending to be Callum, and why only reach out to Elysia?

Callum and Elysia...

Suddenly, a thought struck Tarquin. Winona! The only connection between Callum and Elysia was Winona. All their conversations revolved around her.

Tarquin was gripped by a sense of foreboding.

He looked at Elysia, his expression complex and unreadable.

Elysia sensed something was off and asked, furrowing her brow, "What's going on?"

Before Tarquin could respond, Keaton's call came through.

Keaton was firm, "One hundred percent sure!"

Tarquin remained silent.

Keaton continued, "I discreetly contacted Winona's film crew. They confirmed they were filming in secret, but Winona wasn't the lead actress."

"The crew said they had just arrived in the mountains and hadn't started filming yet when Winona's manager canceled her contract, paying a hefty penalty."

"The reason given was Winona had personal issues, mental health struggles, and couldn't continue."

"The manager asked the crew not to announce the cancellation, so Winona could take time to recover."

"So, the public still thinks she's filming in secret."

Tarquin's expression was grave. The manager had quietly handled Winona's contract termination. But the manager's body was found overseas.

So where on earth was Winona now?
