lRachel’s POV

The sound of his typing filled the room steadily, focused, unbothered.

The glow from his laptop cast a faint light across his face, sharp and calm, as if nothing in the world could shake him.

I watched him from the bed, the sheets soft beneath me, the air carrying the faint scent of my body lotion. I had just stepped out of the shower, the steam still clinging to my skin. My nightgown brushed lightly against my legs, but my mind wasn’t calm.

I turned once, twice… and sighed.

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 70: You Will Beg at My Feet

    Rachel’s POVDave and I arrived at the government agency with our legal representatives, and the moment we stepped inside, he approached one of the officials standing near the reception desk, his expression cold and impatient as he demanded to see the person in charge."We want to see your boss right now, because both our companies have had their assets seized, and we deserve an explanation for what is happening," Dave said.The official looked at him briefly before directing us toward the office at the end of the corridor, and Dave took my hand as we walked inside, making it clear that he had no intention of allowing anyone to intimidate us.The man sitting behind the desk looked up from his documents when we entered, and after recognizing Dave, he leaned back in his chair with a polite but distant expression."Good afternoon, Mr. Dave and Miss Berila, how can I help you?" the official asked.Dave stepped forward, placing the seizure notice on the desk before speaking."Your agency h

    Rachel’s POVAfter breakfast, Dave and I said goodbye to the children before leaving for work, and although we were heading to different companies."Please remember that I am still your husband, Rachel, even if you insist on reminding me every morning that you might divorce me, because I intend to spend the rest of my life proving that you made the right decision when you chose me," Dave said.I shook my head and opened my car door, trying to hide the smile that threatened to appear on my face."You should spend more time managing your company and less time making promises, because I have already heard enough beautiful words to last me a lifetime, and what I need from you now is honesty rather than another speech about how much you love me," I replied.He raised his hands in surrender before stepping away from the car and i drove off Unfortunately, the moment my car stopped outside the company building, I realized that something was wrong.Several employees were gathered near the ent

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 88: You Will Regret Underestimate me

    Rachel’s POV“Angel, please finish your food before you start asking for another dessert, because I am not going to let you eat sweets all morning,” I said, looking at the little girl sitting beside Anna at the dining table.“But Mommy, Anna said she doesn't want hers, so why can't I eat it?” Angel asked, giving me her most innocent smile.Anna immediately turned toward her sister, shaking her head as she held her spoon.“I said you could have a little, not everything, because you always eat my share and then complain when I refuse to play with you,” Anna replied.Dave burst out laughing, and I turned toward him with a warning look while he raised both hands as though he had done nothing wrong.“Don't encourage them, Dave, because if you keep laughing at everything they do, these girls will soon learn how to manipulate both of us,” I said.“Baby, I am simply enjoying the happiness in this house, and I don't think there is anything wrong with watching our daughters argue over dessert

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 87

    Dave povI was going through some documents in my study when my phone rang. Seeing that it was my personal assistant, I picked up immediately.“Good afternoon, sir. I'm calling to update you on the investigation concerning Anna and Angel's parents,” he said.“Have you found anything?” I asked, putting the documents aside.“Yes, sir. We have made some progress. We discovered that the information about their mother being dead is false. We haven't found any reliable evidence confirming her death, and some records suggest that she deliberately disappeared,” he explained.I straightened in my chair. “Their mother is alive?” I asked.“That is what our findings suggest, sir, although we haven't located her yet. We also haven't been able to trace their father properly. From the information we gathered, he doesn't appear to be a man of high status, but we are still investigating his background,” he replied.I tapped my fingers against the desk, thinking about his words.“What about their mothe

    Rachel’s POVI woke up the following morning with Dave’s arms wrapped around my waist and his face resting close to my neck, and for a few seconds, I remained still, watching the sunlight filter through the curtains while remembering how peacefully I had slept in his arms the previous night, something I had not experienced since our marriage fell apart.When I tried to move, his arms tightened around me, and I turned my head to find him watching me with a sleepy smile that immediately made me regret looking at him for too long.“Good morning,the most beautiful wife in the world ,” he whispered.“Good morning, Dave, and please loosen your arms because I need to get ready before we leave this hotel,” I replied.“Can you give me five more minutes with you, baby, because I have missed waking up beside you so much that I want to enjoy every second I can get,” he said, pulling me closer.I rolled my eyes, although I could not hide the smile forming on my lips, and gently pushed his chest.

  • She Died as His Wife, Returned as His Nightmare   Chapter 85: Can We Fall in Love Again?

    Rachel’s POVI could no longer hold back my tears, and before I could convince myself to remain strong, I moved closer to Dave and wrapped my arms around him from behind, pressing my face against his back as the pain I had carried for so long finally overwhelmed me.I cried until my chest hurt, until the tears soaked his shirt, and until I had no strength left to pretend that I was unaffected by the man who had broken my heart, while Dave remained still, allowing me to release every bit of anger, disappointment, and longing I had tried so desperately to bury since leaving him.He did not turn around to interrupt me or ask me to stop crying, and when my sobs finally began to quiet down, he gently covered my hands with his own, holding them against his chest as though he was afraid I would let go if he moved too quickly.“Rachel, baby, can we please start from the beginning and give ourselves another chance, because I know I have made terrible mistakes, but I swear to you that there is

    Dave’s POVMy hands were shaking when I dialled my personal assistant, not from the alcohol anymore that had burned out of my system but from fear, raw, choking fear.“Get the car. Now,” I said. “And clear the nearest private hospital.”I didn’t wait for any questions.Rachel lay against me, her

    When we got home, the silence felt heavier than the night air outside. The moment we walked through the door, I collapsed on the couch, my head buried in my palms.
