Africa was a bloodbath. He couldn't risk her life, nor could he afford to lose the gamble.
As for his feelings—it wasn't that he didn't want to offer them. It was that he didn't dare.
He slowly squeezed his eyes shut.
Stepping forward, he completely ignored her resistance and reached out to gently brush her cheek, only for her to violently flinch away.
"Don't touch me," she snapped, her eyes ablaze with defiance.
His hand hovered awkwardly in the air for a long moment before he slowly lowered it.
"Bring her back," he ordered darkly.
This time, none of his men hesitated.
Two enforcers stepped up, boxing her in with absolute, undeniable finality.
Staring at this terrifyingly stubborn man, reading the cryptic, maddening obsession in his dark eyes, another wave of suffocating heartbreak washed over her, drowning out all logic.
She knew there was no escaping today.

Back at the estate.
The moment the foyer lights flicked on, the atmosphere turned to lead.
He stood at the doorway, practically radiating frost, his large hand locked firmly around her wrist.
He had dragged her here by force.
She hadn't fought him. She hadn't screamed or thrown a tantrum. She merely lowered her gaze, her long lashes masking the sheer, glacial coldness on her face.
She still smelled like the crisp night wind. Even with her hair slightly tousled, her aristocratic elegance remained entirely intact.
Even when being held against her will, she carried herself with the untouchable pride of old money.
When Claire walked out of the living room, her nails dug into her palms.
She had stayed up all night waiting for him.
Only for him to walk through the front door dragging another woman inside.
"Sammie," she started, her voice soft but strained to the breaking point. "Who did you bring home?"
He frowned. "It's Rebecca. She'll be staying here for a while."
"Staying here?"
Claire let out a tight laugh that didn't quite reach her eyes. "In our house?"

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 :(...
