The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 1254:

Laney froze in shock, unable to move as she watched Kira land in a crumpled heap at the bottom of the staircase.

A pool of blood began to form around Kira’s motionless body. Laney’s breath caught in her throat, her mind racing. She hadn’t meant for this to happen.

Before Laney could react, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed through the hallway. Cliff appeared at the top of the stairs, his chest heaving as he took in the scene. His shoe landed inches from Kira’s lifeless figure, his gaze locking onto Laney.

Laney had never faced anything like this before.

Kira lay motionless, her blood pooling on the floor, an image that gripped Laney with paralyzing fear.

Laney’s legs felt weak, threatening to give way beneath her.
