The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 512

Chapter 512:

Fuming, Alicia swatted his hand away, a clear warning against his wandering touch.

“Then go ahead and touch them!”

She tried to pull away, but the move only landed her back in his arms.

His grip was strong as iron.

She kicked and struggled like a wildcat.

Most women wouldn’t dare challenge him, but Caden only laughed, carrying her effortlessly toward the bathtub.

He placed her hand on his belt.

“Unbuckle it for me.

Help me with my bath.”

Alicia glared, defiant.

“I’ll throw you in instead.”

“Be my guest.

Show me what you’ve got.”

His shameless challenge made her bristle, but struggling was futile.

Before she could protest, he had her in the tub.

Alicia’s clothes were stripped away, leaving her to cling to Caden, seeking both warmth and security in his hold.

Reclining with her in the warm water, Caden held her close.

“The man I was drinking with earlier, Marlon, holds significant sway here in Terriland.

I’m working with him so that if anything ever goes south for me, he’ll have my back.”

Alicia fell silent, processing his words before finally asking, “Is it what I think it is?”

“Yes,” he replied.

Ammunition and firearms smuggling, human trafficking — every kind of illicit deal under the sun.

Alicia’s face twisted with concern.

“Why would you get involved with someone like that?”

Reading her unease, he explained, “I’m only hiring him.

I have no intention of diving into his business.

My main reason for seeking him out is because he had dealings with Corey before.

Moreover, Corey once bought something from him.”

Alicia couldn’t help but ask, “What did Corey buy?”

“I don’t plan to squeeze the truth out of him just yet.

He’s tight-lipped and wary.

If I push too hard, I’ll give myself away.” Caden effortlessly lifted her, settling her legs around his waist.

“But this trip wasn’t without its rewards.”

At least he had uncovered Corey’s weakness.

Alicia tried to keep the conversation serious, but Caden was suddenly all over her, undeterred.

It had been a while since she’d dealt with his persistence, and her cheeks flushed, though she managed a slight frown.

The water in the tub splashed wildly with their movement.

Alicia bit down on her hand, her voice muffled.

“There’s a girl outside…”

Caden’s voice was low and rough.

“I made sure she can’t hear us.”

Alicia’s brow furrowed, still doubtful.

“Do you really prefer them that young?”

Caden’s response was a bite on her shoulder, drawing a sharp gasp from her.

“Am I truly that much of a beast?” he teased.

“Marlon offered me women to test my sincerity.

I requested high school girls because they’re simple and obedient — easier to win over.”

Alicia pouted, clearly unimpressed.

After two rounds in the bathtub, Caden lifted Alicia and carried her to the mirror.

Alicia scolded him for his lack of restraint, but despite her words, she couldn’t resist him, surrendering to his every whim.

“Why did you come looking for me?” Caden asked, his tone softening as satisfaction washed over him.

“Did you miss me that much?”
