The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 7

Chapter 7:

Alicia soaked in the heat of the bath, letting the soft steam surround her like a cocoon.

When Monica When he found out that it was Caden who had brought Alicia back, he couldn't stop chattering, his eyes shining with excitement.

The Yates family scandal was the talk of the town at the time. ! Who would have thought Caden would come back And now, with the name he's made for himself, it's not like he needs the inheritance, right So why show up To make Joshua's life a living hell My God, it's like a soap opera come true: two feuding brothers. One is your soon-to-be ex-husband, the other is your nemesis. So who are you rooting for, Alicia

But Alicia's mind was elsewhere, and Monica's constant chatter had faded into the background.

Alicia Hey, earth to earth. Alicia!

Only then did Alicia come back to reality.

Hey, sorry, you just said something

You're fine. You seem... distracted. Monica's eyes narrowed in concern, gently pressing her hand against Alicia's forehead. You're not coming down with something, are you.

Alicia shook her head, but the fog in her mind persisted.

I'm fine, she murmured, her thoughts wandering again. It was really Caden the man from that fateful night. The smell, the way he moved, the sound of his voice... it all seemed too familiar.

He tried to remember the details of that night. The private cinema had been shrouded in shadows, the only light coming from the faint glow of the screen.

Plus, she was so absorbed in the moment that she hadn't bothered to study the man's face.

Alicia frowned. A sinking feeling continued to gnaw at her...

With a frustrated sigh, she pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind. She got out of the bathtub and dried her wet hair.

Just as she was wrapping herself in a towel, her phone rang on the counter.

She looked at the screen and frowned. Joshua, again.

He kept calling. Without hesitation, Alicia blocked the number and pressed the screen with her finger.

As soon as she left the bathroom, Alicia found Monica by the window. Just as Monica was about to draw the curtains, Alicia saw Joshua's car pulling away from the entrance.

Look at that, Monica sneered disdainfully. What's wrong with him? Acting like he's suddenly madly in love with you after all this time.

Alicia shrugged and fell onto the bed.

Love Joshua

Just thinking about it made him want to laugh. If he really cared, he wouldn't have abandoned her in the rain.

No, she was done with him for good.

As the two girls were falling asleep, Monica sat up suddenly. in bed.

Alicia, I just remembered that the person who bought the drugs was not Joshua. After a slight pause, he continued: My father mentioned that the buyer's name was Lillian. It's the name of Joshua's secretary or something.

Alicia turned on her side and grabbed Monica's arm as if to support herself.

Her mind raced, scanning everyone. The possible Lillians related to Joshua.

There were too many, and each name was confused with the next, so it was impossible to know who it was.

But there was one thing I knew : Joshua had never told anyone about their wedding anniversary. Only someone close, someone really important, would know such a secret.

That woman, whom he protected so fiercely.

Alicia's lips pressed into a thin line as she whispered: Thank you, Monica. You have been a great help. For tonight, let's try to rest.

She exhaled softly, knowing that she needed a good night's sleep if she wanted to get revenge on those who had wronged her.

The next morning, her phone rang with a call. from an unknown number.

Mrs. Bennett, we found what you were looking for, but you'll have to claim it yourself. I'll send you the address shortly.

Alicia's first instinct was to be on her guard, lest this was a scam.

However, as she glanced at the screen from his phone, he changed his mind. The number was luxury and no scammer would spend money on that.

What exactly are you talking about, he asked carefully.

About her wedding ring.

Oh.

His thoughts immediately returned to the man from that night.

His heart leaped into his throat.

The interlocutor abruptly hung up on him and, within seconds, Then he received a text message with the address.

He was cut off breath as you read the words Blizzard Building.

The Blizzard Building was owned by the founder of Crest Group, a high-tech company known around the world for its cloud robots and high-tech microchips. His mind was spinning. Who the hell had she slept with that night?

Bewildered, Alicia checked the address again and her eyes widened at the last detail: the address specified the CEO's office.

My God.

That same day, on the way to the Blizzard building, Alicia quickly consulted the list of Crest Group shareholders. Hmm... They all had foreign-sounding names, each of them over fifty years old.

Foreigners...

No wonder the man's member had been so... huge.

Dazed, Alicia stroked her flushed cheeks, feeling a whirlwind of emotions.

Standing before the imposing and elegant logo of the Blizzard building, Alicia couldn't shake the surreal feeling that came over her. took over

It was a trap

His thoughts turned dark, one disturbing possibility after another creeping into his mind.

As a precaution, he grabbed some self-defense items before crossing the entrance.

Just as she crossed the lobby and entered the elevator, a car stopped behind her. The car door opened and Lilliana got out followed by Joshua.

She grabbed his hand tightly, her face marked with worry.

Joshua, you can really handle this< /p>

Since returning to the country, Caden had acquired several entertainment companies, one of which Lilliana had invested in.

As a rising pop star, his career was thrown into disarray. when Caden unexpectedly intervened.

Joshua's eyes They stood fixed on the imposing building in front of me, their expressions unreadable.

Caden's problems with me are personal. If you get involved in this, you'll only tarnish your own name. Don't worry, I'll talk to him. I'll talk to him.

Lilliana clung to him, her big eyes filled with tears.

Please, Joshua! You have to help me. I have worked very hard to get to where I am today.

I said don't worry. I'll take care of it. He gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, though his gaze never left the building.

Meanwhile, Alicia stood outside the CEO's office, her path blocked by the high-tech security system.

The red light flashed above her and the robotic voice warned her of an unauthorized intrusion.

Hank appeared at her side, his face cold as a stone.

Mrs. Bennett, hand over the items.
