The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 13:

That song - its melody, its heartfelt lyrics, the soulful voice behind it - had captivated the world in an instant. Thanks to that song, Lilliana became an overnight sensation.

For a moment, it seemed like she was just beginning her rise to stardom. But who could have predicted that it would be the peak of her fame? Since then, her career has stagnated and she has taken a backseat.

With an indifferent look, Caden said, “You’ll find out soon enough.”

Wasting no time, Alicia tried to arrange a meeting with Joshua to finalize the divorce.

It was hours before Joshua finally responded,

"I'll see you tonight at nine. Let's talk at home."

At nine o'clock at night, Alicia returned to the marital home.

As soon as I opened the door, I found something unexpected.

A pair of women's shoes lay carelessly in the entrance, as if the landlady had kicked them off in a fit of rage. Alice's gaze darted into the room.

A man's suit and a woman's dress were scattered messily on the floor, suggesting that something intimate had happened not long ago. His eyes moved upward and fell on the partially open door of the second-floor bedroom.

From inside, she could hear the sound of labored breathing, undoubtedly Joshua's.

Alice smiled with satisfaction, not losing sight of the irony of the situation.

“Amazing,” she thought wryly. “Just a couple of months pregnant and already back to such reckless abandonment.”

Moments later, her phone rang with a message from Joshua.

"Where are you?

Alice exhaled deeply, preparing herself for what was coming, and went back inside.

Joshua was already waiting in the living room, sitting as if nothing had happened.

His eyes, still glassy with the remnants of desire, scanned her with a calculated air, as if gauging her reaction.
