The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 109

Chapter 109:

Ted, who was already eight years old, was surprisingly strong for his age.

Alicia felt a sharp, overwhelming pain when he hit her. Before she could recover, he hit her again. The blows carried the malice of a child who had been taught to fight dirty.

Alicia struggled to defend herself, but the other children quickly restrained her. Ted kept hitting and yelled: This is what happens to you for messing with my mother! This is what you deserve.

His aim was deliberate: he aimed at the softest areas of his body, avoiding the face and vital points. Despite the pain, Alicia managed to push one of the children away.

Ted saw it and immediately dropped the stick, grabbing a rope. In no time, he had tied her hands.

Alicia's voice became firm as she demanded, What's wrong? Let go of me.

Ted looked at her, his eyes burning with intensity. If I let you go, you will hurt my mother again. I'll make sure to kill you.

Alicia froze, her heart stopping for a moment. It was the first time I had seen such a fierce, almost terrifying expression in a child's eyes.

It was incredibly daring.

You plan to kill me Alicia struggled against the taut rope, breathing heavily. . No one has ever told you that killing is a crime. You will end up in jail.

To her surprise, Ted scoffed and replied: My mother told me that I am a boy, so nothing will happen to me if I kill you. . You didn't know.

Alicia's fear intensified as she absorbed the weight of his words. He understood the law and was using it to his advantage. It was clear that Mrs. Reyes had taught her well.

Even if Alicia survived today, she knew she would suffer. Mrs. Reyes would let Ted take the blame, knowing that the law would protect him.

As these thoughts ran through her mind, Ted suddenly pushed her into the pool.

Alicia felt her stomach drop as she lost her balance and fell. He tried to scream for help, but no sound came from his lips. Within moments, his head hit a rock. Pain coursed through his body before the world went numb.

His energy was drained and everything went dark as he lost consciousness.

His body slowly sank beneath the surface of the water. . One of the children, clearly frightened, gasped. Ted, she…

Ted looked in shock. The sound of Alicia's head hitting the rock had been so loud that it echoed throughout the yard. Now, Alicia wasn't moving in the water, and it looked like she was really gone.

I just wanted her to get in the water. He didn't know he had hit a rock. Ted stammered, his panic growing as he watched her body float upwards. Blood began to spread into the water, deepening his fear. It wasn't me! I didn't push her.

Mrs. Reyes had only told Ted to mistreat Alicia. He never meant to hurt her like that.

In a panic attack, he ran away, screaming for his mother, Mrs. Reyes. The other children, equally frightened, followed him, their shrill screams filling the air.

Caden was in the living room, talking to Randolph, when he heard the commotion outside. He looked back toward the yard and saw Ted running into Mrs. Reyes' arms.

Caden recognized the boy instantly. Ted had been the one who took Alicia's skewers during the meal. The look Ted had given her earlier suggested that he held some grudge.

Randolph, bewildered, asked, What's going on out there?

Rachel looked toward the noise, her voice nonchalant. . They are kids who are behaving badly. They may have had a scuffle, but it's nothing serious.

Caden noticed the fleeting guilt that crossed Rachel's face. He watched her carefully, but kept his thoughts to himself.

When Rachel turned her attention to the small building in the distance, a frown creased her forehead, and a flash of uncertainty passed over her expression.

Caden looked uneasily at the open grass. It was huge, but there was no sign of Alicia anywhere. An unsettling feeling came over him and made him get up from his seat.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Reyes questioned Ted in a low voice, asking him for more details.

Ted trembled, his voice barely a whisper. She's dead... She hit her head and now she's dead. Fear gripped Mrs. Reyes. His voice dropped to a whisper. She's dead

Who's dead, he asked, barely able to understand what he was hearing.

A thunderous voice cut through the tense atmosphere. Mrs. Reyes looked up in alarm as her eyes met Caden's. His face was dark with fury and the intensity of his presence was overwhelming.

Before Mrs. Reyes could speak, Ted blurted out: It wasn't me! I haven't been. His immediate reaction was to blame someone else.

Caden's suspicion deepened. It was clear that something had happened to Alicia.

Without hesitation, she grabbed Ted by the collar and began marching toward the small building.

Terrified, Mrs. Reyes stumbled behind her. his. Mr. Ward, please let Ted go!

Caden ignored her, dragging Ted to the entrance of the building.

Where's Alicia, he growled.

Ted had never felt so afraid. His mind went blank, and his body froze.

It's upstairs... in the pool, he muttered.

Which floor did Caden press on.

The second... Ted stammered.

Caden threw him to the ground. Ted screamed in pain from the fall.

Caden didn't hesitate. He ran up to the second floor, threw open the door, and saw a figure floating in the pool. His heart pounded in his chest as he ran towards her.
