The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 139

Chapter 139:

Alicia squeezed the doorknob tightly as she turned to look at him, her expression fierce. Who are you to end this? I haven't broken any rules!

Why are you leaving then? Caden asked, with a flat voice. The contract specifies that you cannot refuse certain requests.

But it also requires consent, Alicia countered.

You owe me what you skipped last night, she declared. If you're going to go back on your promise, then don't expect from me the same thing I received from Randolph yesterday. Her fingers tightened even more around the doorknob, almost creaking under the pressure.

Now it was clear: Caden was threatening her.

What was the reason for this sudden change?

How important is this breakfast to you, he asked, his patience running out. Or you are bothered by my visit yesterday to the Yates mansion.

His face was still a mask of indifference. Exactly. You shouldn't have gone to the Yates mansion.

Why not The agreement doesn't require your permission for me to join others or stay outside, right.

You're free to stay with Whoever you want, except Joshua, he stated coldly.

Alicia opened her mouth to respond, but he cut her off. Remember our purpose here. Your actions horrify me.

Alicia choked out the words.

What was the point of explaining it to her? I would even consider her version. I had already labeled her guilty.

Her resolve faltered. He began to seriously think about terminating the agreement. With one last look, she opened the door and stepped out.

The door closed behind her, the sound echoing through the room, a sharp reminder that Caden had been struck by her defiance.

He stayed there, enduring the cold that came from the hallway, rooted to the spot. Her face slowly darkened.

Despite her lack of skills, Alicia's temper was fierce, and thinking about it only made her headache worse. Taking a deep breath, he turned around and headed to the shower. At dawn, he felt the weight of the situation pressing on him.

Georgia noticed Alicia's absence and, fearing the intervention of Joshua or the authorities, decided to go out alone to look for her.

As soon as she came out, someone covered her mouth and nose with their hand from behind and dragged her to a shadowy corner.

A burly man stood in front of her, his hand firm. Stay still. I have not come to hurt you or rob you. I just want to ask you something.

Georgia, older and easily frightened, trembled uncontrollably.

The man hit her in the face, and she immediately fell silent, her body recoiling. in shock. His mouth filled with blood and some of his teeth became loose. He sank to the ground, clutching his head as his hands shook.

Who was here last night, the man asked.

Georgia's mind reeled as she carefully considered his words. The man's impatience was palpable. Speak!, he barked.

Hesitantly, Georgia murmured: I don't know….

You work for the family and you have no idea, he challenged her, with a sharp and threatening tone. Be honest!

Without warning, he hit her again, knocking out a tooth. Tears filled her eyes and agony twisted inside her. A lady from a prominent family and Alicia…, she blurted out in pain.

The man quickly took out his phone. Madam, are you listening to me, he asked, bringing the phone to her ear.

Lilliana's voice was heard clearly: What exactly was Alicia doing there?

The man repeated the question to her. Georgia, who, struggling to maintain coherence, managed to tell the story. However, she preferred not to implicate her employer, placing all the blame on Alicia.

Lilliana's anger momentarily turned into laughter. His suspicions were confirmed. Let her go, he ordered coldly. Keep a close eye on Alicia from now on and keep me informed.

Meanwhile, Alicia, after leaving the apartment, sought refuge in a hotel. Exhausted physically and mentally, she fell asleep immediately, her body longing for rest.

She slept throughout the day, plagued by strange and disturbing dreams.

When she woke up, the darkness of the room increased his feeling of tiredness. She felt exhausted, her body ached in places she hadn't noticed before. Sitting on the bed, she rubbed her sore but not incapacitating foot.

Intending to invite Monica to dinner, Alicia's plans were interrupted by an incoming call from an unknown number.

She answered, and the voice on the other end was instantly familiar.

Mrs. Bennett, it's me.

Alicia was caught off guard, but she recovered quickly. Miss Mendoza

Gina's soft laugh came through the line. Let's keep it casual. Call me Gina.
