The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 503:

Then, everything changed overnight.

Her father pushed her relentlessly, burying her under impossible expectations.

Harsh scoldings and constant pressure weighed heavily on her, leaving her struggling to breathe.

“You’re a disgrace, Alicia!”

“You don’t deserve to be my daughter.”

“You should just disappear!”

Alicia woke with a start, drenched in cold sweat, her limbs trembling.

The familiar fear closed in around her, suffocating her.

She instinctively reached for support, but the space beside her was empty—Caden hadn’t returned.

Tears stung her eyes, and as she wiped them away, she realized her cheeks were already wet.

A soft sob escaped her lips.

Her dog, Cade, heard her and rushed over, jumping onto the bed to nuzzle her, offering comfort.

Alicia leaned into the dog, grateful for the quiet companionship.

After a moment, she glanced at her phone and noticed several missed calls.
