The car fell silent once more.
The rain continued to pour relentlessly.
Danielle let out a long breath, the suffocating tension in her chest finally easing just a fraction.
She turned her head to look at the backseat.
Alex sat there, holding a child in each arm. His back was rigidly straight, but he no longer possessed that explosive tension of a man ready to risk his life at a moment's notice.
He lowered his eyes, gazing at the two children in his arms with a somber, quiet expression.
He didn't mention going up the mountain again. He didn't mention immediately searching for that castle, nor was he blinded by the need for revenge anymore.
Alex had understood.
He remembered Raffy's words, and he etched the information that there was a castle deep in the woods firmly into his mind.
But at the same time, he remembered something else—
He wasn't alone right now.
He couldn't afford to be reckless anymore.
The storm was too brutal, the terrain too treacherous, and his children and wife were right here with him.
No matter how crucial the clues were, they were nothing compared to the people beside him.
Alex slowly raised his eyes, meeting Danielle's gaze in the rearview mirror.
His eyes were calm. The agitation and desperation were gone, replaced by a settled, unwavering certainty.
He spoke softly, his voice low but clear enough to reach Danielle's ears.
"Drive."
"Let's head back to the hotel first."
"We'll come back when the rain stops and everything is arranged."
Danielle looked at him and gave a gentle nod.
This time, he would make sure his family was safe, get everything in order, and then take his steps forward—steady and unrelenting.
Through the rearview mirror, Danielle quietly watched the man holding their children, his eyes filled with a quiet resolve.
Perhaps the relentless storm that had weighed him down for far too long was finally coming to an end.
-

Alex stepped out first, opening an umbrella to shield Danielle and the kids as they hurried into the hotel lobby.

Even so, Danielle could still sense an invisible coil of tension wrapped tightly around Alex, one that had never truly unspooled.

But his eyes remained razor-sharp, like a predator constantly on alert for incoming danger.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
