The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 7:

Alicia soaked in the warmth of the bath, letting the gentle steam envelope her like a cocoon.

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

«The Yates family scandal was the talk of the town back in the day! Who would have thought Caden would come back? And now, with the name he's made for himself, he doesn't really need the inheritance, does he? So why show up? To make Joshua’s life a living hell? My God, it's like a soap opera come to life: two brothers at odds. One is your soon-to-be ex-husband, the other is your nemesis. "So who are you rooting for, Alicia?"

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

"Alice? Hey, land to Alice!"

Only then did Alice return to reality.

“Huh? Sorry, did you just say something?”

“Are you okay? You seem… distracted.” Monica's eyes narrowed in concern, gently pressing her hand against Alicia's forehead. “You're not coming down with anything, are you?”

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

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

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

Alice frowned. A sinking feeling continued to gnaw at her…

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

Just as she wrapped herself in a towel, her phone ranged on the counter.

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

He kept calling. Without hesitation, Alice blocked the number and tapped the screen with her finger.
