The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 807:

Alicia didn’t respond. She finished writing, placed the last card face down in a small box, and quickly paid with her bank card. The owner’s eyes widened at the amount. Alicia gave a polite nod of thanks and left.

The owner suddenly remembered something important she had forgotten to say, but by then, Alicia was already too far away to hear.

When Alicia returned to her apartment, a message from Corey awaited her: “Tomorrow morning’s flight is at eight. Don’t let me down.” She placed her phone aside, sinking into the solitude of her living room.

Their relationship had always been an exchange—beginning and ending wrapped in transactions. In this apartment, they had shared so much, giving in to each other’s desires freely, stripped of time, place, and pretense. They had laid bare not just their bodies but their souls.

Caden’s voice seemed to echo around her as if he were still there.

“You really like me, huh?”

“Don’t worry. I’m here for you, no matter what happens to Yolanda today.”
