The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 513:

Alicia flushed, her demeanor suddenly fragile.

She shook her head stubbornly, her voice barely a whisper.

“I did not.”

Caden’s heart raced, its rhythm echoing in Alicia’s chest like a distant drumbeat.

He didn’t want to admit it, but the moment he caught sight of Alicia in that private room, it felt as if his heart had been yanked down, awakening a fear he had never experienced before.

Terriland isn’t exactly safe for women,” Caden said, his voice firm, slightly rough, with a lingering hoarseness from their earlier intimacy.

He slipped her a small stack of cash, and following his instructions, she wrapped herself in a large towel, ruffled her hair, and gave herself a disheveled look, as if they’d just made love.

Before she left, Caden noticed her uneasy expression and called for a bodyguard to ensure she got home safely.

Once that was settled, he returned and took Alicia back to his hotel suite.

During the drive, Alicia couldn’t contain her curiosity any longer.
