The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback
Chapter 10

Chapter 10:

Joshua stopped halfway, his heart dropping as he remembered Caden's disheveled appearance just moments ago, along with the cold and menacing gaze. that Caden had given him.

A feeling of unease gnawed at his insides. Once the thought took root, it spread like wildfire, burning his mind.

It could be Alicia, the woman Caden was talking about

When they left the principal's office General, Lilliana clung to Joshua's arm, pulling him toward the elevator.

Joshua, Lilliana said softly, her voice laced with concern. I never imagined that Caden could rise so quickly, becoming CEO of Blizzard Group. And you've seen how he looked at you. Obviously, he hasn't forgotten his resentment. Oh my god, I'm shaking! It's so scary! I wouldn't even dream of crossing paths with him! We'd better stop bothering him about the acquisition for now. And who knows, maybe working under him will open up greater opportunities for us...

Joshua's brow furrowed, his words barely echoing in his mind.

He nodded his head a couple of times. times before picking up the phone with trepidation.

I'm sorry, Lilliana. Something has come up. I'll catch up with you later.

As he spoke, he dialed Alicia's number.

However, what greeted him was a cold, robotic voice informing him that the number was not available. It turned out that she had blocked him.

Meanwhile, in the office, Alicia got up from her hiding place and smoothed out her clothes.

She had heard it all and was now starting to put two together. plus two.

The woman Joshua was with is not the famous pop singer, Lilliana Green. Alicia furrowed her eyebrows. The familiar name, Lilliana, echoed in his mind. The famous singer had deep connections in the world of entertainment.

It had to be her. Lilliana Green had to be Joshua's new partner, in more ways than one.

Caden, still dazed with pain, looked at her sardonically.

Your husband is about to die. have a child with another woman and you still have no idea who she is.

Alicia pursed her lips sadly.

Then, suddenly remembering the reason she had come here , took a look at the bite mark on the Caden's hand.

The area was still red and swollen, but the wound had already begun to scab.

Calculatingly, he relaxed his expression and let out a small sigh. “I’m sorry, I didn’t realize I bit you so hard,” he purred. Hold on. Let me clean the wound.

Surprised, Caden raised his eyebrows curiously. Looking into her beautiful, innocent eyes, his determination wavered.

The medicine cabinet is in the closet.

He even moved his chair away, leaving room for Alicia to sit in front of him.

p>

Reclining in his chair, he seemed relaxed, his eyes lazily following Alicia's movements as she carefully tended to his wound.

As expected, after a while of silence, Alicia couldn't contain herself more.

Like this that you have acquired Lilliana's company. That means you're taking her too.

Caden smirked, easily reading the subtext of her question.

You're begging me to take care of her.

I refuse to beg. Besides, I know you won't help me anyway.

At least you're self-aware, he exclaimed, a hint of smugness in his voice.

His arrogance set her off. She held her nerves and resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Instead, she pressed the iodine-soaked cotton against her wound with a little more force than necessary, her own petty revenge.< /p>

But Caden didn't even He didn't even flinch. His expression was still maddeningly calm.

Come on, press harder if you want. Just make sure the virus is completely eradicated.

What

I couldn't feel pain

With a sigh, Alicia ripped off a band-aid, her patience wearing thin. .

Then, he asked again, this time with more insistence. You're either going to stay with Lilliana or not.

Caden's lips curled into a sly smile, his eyes shining with amusement.

If you don't want to, beg me and I'll oblige.< /p>

Alicia couldn't help but laugh, and the absurdity of it all brought a smile to her lips.

She looked at him with a raised eyebrow and a sarcastic tone.

p>

By What She's incredibly popular, she sings beautifully, and if she promotes your products, she could make you a fortune.

Caden narrowed his eyes slightly, picking up on her little schemes, but was curious enough to play along.

p>

You think so. Me too.

Alicia stood up, dusting off her hands as if the conversation from a moment ago had nothing to do with her.

That's it. Now, hand me my ring.

This time, Caden didn't hesitate.

Obediently, he placed the ring in the palm of his hand. However, just as she was about to withdraw her hand, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and roughly pulled her towards him.

The movement was so sudden that she barely had time to gasp before of him leaning towards her, his warm breath on her neck.

Then came the sharp sting. Alicia's body tensed and a gasp escaped her lips.

Ugh!

But the pain wasn't the worst thing, it was the way her lips and teeth hurt her. They rubbed against her skin, causing a chill that left her breathless and disoriented. This asshole!

Caden finally let go of her with a smirk, the light bite nothing more than a wicked reminder of who was in control. For now.

Alicia pressed her hand against the bite mark, her cheeks flushed with a mixture of rage and shame.

Her eyes locked on him, but her fury It just seemed to amuse him.

What's with that violent reaction? Don't tell me Joshua has never bit you like that.

Alicia ground her teeth in frustration, but knew better than to confront him. .

When When it came to blatant provocations, Caden would always have the upper hand. So instead of taking the bait, she grabbed her purse and turned to leave in one swift movement.

Behind her, Caden reached for the phone, casually dialing the intercom. Moments later, Hank entered the room, his brow furrowed in confusion.

Mr. Ward, did you call? Hank asked, unsure.

Without looking up, Caden responded coldly. ,

Get me a rabies vaccine.

Hank blinked in disbelief.

Uh… what.

Alicia, already at the door , couldn't help but laugh low voice He looked at Hank and said, with a mischievous glint in his eye,

Make it two, while we're at it.

Two could play this game.

Hank hesitated, staring at them before leaving the room, clearly bewildered.

Of course, no real rabies vaccine would be obtained. Hank returned with something much less dramatic: a vial of glucose.

Alicia disposed of the used syringe with an elegant flick of her wrist and looked back at Caden, her expression calm but sharp.

Take care, Miss Bennett, Caden said mockingly. And when you finally manage to drag Joshua back into your disastrous life, let me know, I'll stop by to congratulate you.

Alicia, unperturbed, looked at him indifferently.

You know, Mr. Ward, instead of butting into my life, perhaps you could use the time to improve your…elementary skills in the bedroom. Seriously, it's embarrassing.

At this, Caden's expression hardened. The playful gleam in his eyes faded into darkness, replaced by something far more dangerous.

Elemental Skills

Embarrassing
