Dante didn’t seem to care at all about her clear attempt to avoid him. He tilted his head, a dangerous smile playing on his lips.

"You’re truly beautiful. I’ve never seen a girl as stunning as you."

His voice dripped with flattery, the words so insincere that Cara could hardly suppress a bitter laugh. But she held herself back, maintaining a calm expression.

"Thank you for the compliment. But I think you're going a bit too far," she said, trying to keep her tone polite, while reaching for a piece of cake, pretending to focus on it to avoid his predatory gaze.

But he wouldn’t let up.

"I’m speaking from the heart," Dante emphasized, his voice slightly insistent. He was trying to earn her trust, using any trick he could. If possible, he would probably swear an oath right now.

"Yes, I’m very flattered," Cara responded indifferently, making an effort to keep her distance.

Dealing with Dante was exhausting. She silently wished for someone to show up and rescue her from this situation. Normal

  • Billionaire's second wife   Chapter 48 – Cara Wakes Up from the Coma

    Daylight filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow over the quiet room, slowly stirring Cara from her slumber. As soon as she opened her eyes, a wave of exhaustion crashed over her—her body ached so badly she could barely move. Even though she was lying in bed with a blanket neatly covering her, every muscle felt as if it had been battered and bruised.She stared up at the ceiling, trying to piece together scattered fragments of memory. Why did she feel so drained? What had happened to her?As her vision gradually cleared, Cara noticed something strange about her hand. She glanced down—and flinched. Keva was slumped over the bedside, her head resting on the mattress, tightly gripping Cara’s hand.Cara stared at the hand clasping hers, her breath catching. A vague unease crept into her chest. Why was Keva here? Why was she holding her hand so tightly—as if letting go would make her disappear?The dull pain gnawed at her, causing her to frown slightly. She tried to remember, bu

  • Billionaire's second wife   Chapter 47: Shocking Revelation for Alden

    Without giving Alden much time to ponder, Gavin revealed everything directly. He wanted Alden to change his perspective, to live more positively, and to accept the painful truth instead of lingering in the past, letting the pain gnaw at both his body and soul until he withered away."Alden, I'm telling you the truth. I had cameras installed in several areas of the house, and I also asked Anna to keep an eye on Cara."Alden froze, his gaze flickering. Gavin’s words hit him like a hard blow to his thoughts.Gavin didn't give Alden time to process the information and continued, "Do you think I would easily trust and let a stranger live in my house?"Alden couldn't respond."No, Alden," Gavin emphasized, his voice low but powerful. "I prepared everything to investigate Cara, to check what kind of person she is, even digging into her past. And the result? Cara doesn’t have any bad intentions like you think."Alden clenched his fists, his eyes darkening. "Maybe she hasn't revealed her true

  • Billionaire's second wife   Chapter 46: What Are Dante and Lyna's Motives for the Crime?

    "Who told you that Cara and Dante were romantically involved?" Gavin asked with suspicion, causing Alden to fall silent. He hesitated, knowing that mentioning Lyna would likely provoke a strong reaction from Gavin."Was it Lyna or did Dante himself say that? " Gavin immediately guessed, as he could tell from Alden's expression. "Looks like it was Lyna.""So what if it was?" Alden defended himself, his tone slightly defensive. "Lyna is Dante’s relative. Would she lie about something like this?""Aside from that, did Lyna say anything else about Cara?" Gavin pressed, his sharp eyes focused on Alden. "I bet she didn’t hold back in slandering Cara, did she? Something like... Cara being involved in unsavory activities at the strip club, or her being promiscuous, seducing and manipulating men..."Alden was momentarily stunned. What Gavin said matched perfectly with Lyna’s words. But he didn’t want to admit that Gavin had seen through the situation."Why do you care about this?" Alden frowne

  • Billionaire's second wife   Chapter 45: Cara was almost raped

    At Alden's intense reaction, Gavin softened his tone and tried to calm him down:"Come on, Alden, calm down. You're overreacting. I'm just asking questions, I don't mean to offend you.""You’re making me angry," Alden snapped immediately."I’m sorry for that," Gavin apologized sincerely."I’m not just going to let you off the hook so easily," Alden pouted, deliberately making demands. "Unless you do something to make me feel better.""Don’t be so petty, Alden," Gavin chuckled but then turned serious. "But fine, I’ll agree to something—if it makes sense."Hearing this, Alden’s expression brightened a little. He eagerly made a suggestion:"If you can, then maybe you could—""Let’s put that aside for now," Gavin suddenly cut him off, leaving Alden feeling disappointed. "Right now, I need your help to clarify something."Alden furrowed his brow, clearly displeased at being interrupted. "What is it?""Did you intentionally leave Cara alone with Dante, or was it by accident?" Gavin asked sud

  • Billionaire's second wife   Chapter 44: A conversation between two brothers

    Alden had thought that no one would care or even notice his absence. Everyone was focused on Cara. So, when Gavin knocked on the door and suggested a quick chat, Alden was somewhat surprised."Alden, it’s me, Gavin. Can I come in?"Alden was about to refuse but quickly understood Gavin’s nature—once he wanted something, he would get it no matter what. Reluctantly, he agreed."Come in."As soon as he got permission, Gavin opened the door and stepped in.Alden didn’t even bother trying to guess why Gavin had come. To be honest, he didn’t care. Right now, everything seemed meaningless to Alden. He didn’t want to talk, nor did he want to do anything else—he just wanted to sink into the solitude of darkness and let the pain gnaw at his soul.“The room’s so dark. Why don’t you turn on the light?” Gavin asked.A rather unnecessary question. Alden frowned. Did Gavin forget that he was blind? Whether the light was on or not made no difference.“I prefer it this way,” Alden replied indifferently

  • Billionaire's second wife   Chapter 43: Finding Cara

    "Alden!" Gavin snapped at his younger brother as soon as he heard him speak. "Don’t talk nonsense. Making baseless accusations without solid proof can have terrible consequences, do you understand?""I'm just saying what needs to be said," Alden shrugged indifferently. "How can we truly know what’s in someone’s heart? Not even the gods can see everything, let alone mortals. It's better to double-check, just to be sure. What's so wrong with that?"Although Gavin didn’t appreciate Alden’s insolent attitude, he couldn’t completely dismiss what his brother said. After all, Alden wasn’t entirely wrong. Everyone has their own perspective—sometimes flawed, but still worth acknowledging. Still, Gavin had no desire to argue with him right now. He turned to his parents.“Cara is probably still somewhere around here. We just need to go find her,” Gavin suggested. “I’m sure we’ll find her, so please don’t worry, Mom.”"That's right. We should split up and look for her," Anna agreed, and the other
