Rex shouted, "Jenna! What are you doing?!" His eyes grew heavy, and his face turned stormy.

The man spoke in a chilly tone.

'He arrived in a hurry. Was he perturbed that I would harm Alice?' Jenna pondered.

Alice pouted and appeared anxious. She covered her cheek and looked behind Jenna as her eyes filled with tears at the crack of dawn. "I didn't do anything, Jenna. You misunderstood me." she protested loudly.

'Is Jenna insane? How could she strike me in Rex's presence?'

Jenna grinned. Stop acting; I know it was you.

Jenna approached Alice with a piercing, hard stare as she pulled a printed image of Rex from her bag and threw it in their direction.

Rex was startled and perplexed as he stared at the picture. Alice's face similarly darkened and became paler at once.

He had a long day yesterday and fell asleep briefly when visiting Alice in the hospital. It was evident that this photo was taken in secret at that time.

Alice Florence was the only other person in the room.

Rex was aware of who took the photo. Alice intended to use this image to enrage Jenna, but she had no idea she would end up shooting herself.

How did Alice continue to project the picture of a pathetic, weak woman?

There used to be a time when Jenna would still support Rex and put up with Alice, but that is no longer necessary.

Jenna's voice was startlingly icy, yet she grinned indifferently. "I told you that I'm here to settle debts. This is what you owe me. Alice Florence, you're the one who's a home wrecker in this case. Are you satisfied now? I wish you the best of luck in taking my place as Mrs. Hidalgo."

Rex guessed how Jenna obtained this photo without having to think too hard. Suddenly, he experienced some suffocation. His face had a complicated, chilly expression.

Rex glanced at Alice's pale, sickly face with a countenance that was still as chilly as ever.

Alice's heart began to race. She stepped in to defend herself. I didn't do anything or take this image, Rex, so Jenna must have misinterpreted something. She probably hired someone to take it so she could frame me.

As Alice yanked on his sleeve and wailed pitifully, Rex scowled briefly. Rex, I can make amends to Jenna, and if her giving me blood damages your relationship, I won't ask Jenna for blood again. I vow by Jake's name that I do not know about the picture.

Rex's eyes flittered when he heard the word "Jake," remembering his closest friend's last wish. Rex's grim expression began to lighten a little. Do you need a doctor to check it out? Jenna shouldn't have slapped you earlier because she was furious.

Alice shook her head while covering the side of her cheek that felt numb from Jenna's slap. "It's alright."

As Rex nodded and turned to face her, Jenna was standing to the side. Her lips were mockingly curved up, and she had a stern expression. Rex had an odd feeling when he saw her that way.

"You wanted a divorce because of this? Never mind, get your blood drawn first." Rex wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but there needed to be a better setting.

In comparison to Alice's health, a trivial photo had no significance. Given that there were still outsiders in the ward, Rex intended to explain the picture to Jenna after that.

As she realized she had gotten away with it, Alice felt relieved. 'Rex still chooses me. Jenna failed once more.'

Jenna had long anticipated this result. Jenna was unconcerned about exposing Alice because she was adept at acting. She had lost interest in being associated with them. "Are you certain that she needs a blood transfusion?" Jenna calmly questioned the physician as she turned to face him from the side.

The doctor briefly went into shock. Under Rex's watchful eye, he nodded in panic when he felt Alice's glare. "Yes, Ms. Florence experienced a major blood loss in her legs just now, necessitating a blood transfusion."

Rex asked sternly, "So what are you waiting for?"

The doctor swiftly made preparations after responding, "yes, sir."

Alice smiled smugly at Jenna from a side that no one else could see.

"Wait."

Jenna did not follow the doctor out of obedience. Instead, she moved quickly and domineeringly forward, lifting Alice's quilt.

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Flames of Fury

    The blast wave tore through the damp night air like a physical entity, hitting Daniel and the breaching team in the back before they could clear the outer gravel yard.A wall of pure kinetic force and blinding, incendiary heat hurled bodies through the rain. Concrete fragments, jagged shards of corrugated iron, and twisted metal girders rained down across the industrial bay like lethal shrapnel. Daniel slammed hard onto the wet, muddy gravel, his shoulder taking the brunt of the impact as he tumbled three times before coming to a halt against a rusted shipping container.For several long, terrifying seconds, the world dissolved into a high-pitched, ringing silence.Thick, acrid black smoke rolled across the ground, smelling of sulfur, vaporized oil, and burning rubber. Flaming debris littered the perimeter, hiss-popping as cold rain pelted the wreckage. Daniel pushed himself up onto his elbows, his vision swimming, his l

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Chase in the Warehouse

    The tension in the ICU suite had shifted from the quiet fragility of a hospital room to the high-stakes atmosphere of a war room.Word of the FBI’s intelligence update regarding the Widow, the merciless syndicate leader who had financed Alice Florence’s campaign of terror, had traveled quickly up to the fourth floor. Outside the suite, heavily armed Spanish law enforcement officers maintained a strict perimeter, but inside, a different kind of storm was brewing.Rex Hidalgo, barely forty-eight hours removed from a flatline event on the operating table, was sitting up on the edge of his bed.His face was drawn, pale as chalk, and his dark eyes burned with a feverish, dangerous intensity. A wide array of IV lines had been hastily disconnected by his own hands, leaving small drops of blood blooming on his forearm. He was struggling into a dark, high-collar tactical jacket, his breath coming in shallow, agonizing

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   The Answer

    The heavy, suffocating silence of ICU Suite 402 stretched out like a fragile thread waiting to snap.The morning sun bled through the reinforced glass, casting long, pale golden shafts across the bed where Rex Hidalgo lay suspended between life and death. The mechanical hiss of his ventilator, rhythmic, persistent, and unyielding, served as a stark, sterile cadence against the unspoken history hanging between them.Rex’s dark irises, clouded with fog from heavy narcotics and sheer physical exhaustion, never wavered from Jenna’s face. His hand, pale and trembling under the weight of his failing strength, squeezed her fingers with a desperate, agonizing grip, as if letting go meant sliding back into the cold, dark abyss he had spent twelve hours fighting to escape."...can we... start over?"The question echoed through the quiet room, sounding small, stripped of all corporate arrogance, and heavy with a raw, terrifying vulnerability.Jenna froze.Her breath trapped itself in her throat,

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   First Awakening

    The mechanical hiss of the ventilator seemed to soften, fading into the quiet background as that single, fragile whisper hung in the sterile air of ICU Suite 402."...Jen...na..."The sound was barely a rasp, stripped of its usual commanding resonance, but to Jenna, it sounded like a thunderclap breaking through a storm that had lasted two agonizing years.Her breath hitched in her chest. She froze, her hands clutching his limp fingers as if reaching across an abyss. For a second, she was terrified that if she moved or spoke, the moment would shatter, exposing itself as nothing more than a fevered illusion born from sheer exhaustion and grief."Rex?" she whispered, her voice trembling violently.Slowly, heavily, Rex’s eyelids fluttered once more. The thick, dark lashes raised to reveal irises that were clouded with pain, fogged by narcotics, and swimming in profound weakness. Yet, as his gaze swept slowly across the room, it ignored the harsh fluorescent lighting, the IV lines, and th

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   Revived

    The continuous, piercing scream of the heart monitor hung in the air like a death sentence.Rain swept through the shattered window of ICU Suite 402, whipping the sterile curtains into wild, frantic shapes as the cold Madrid night air mixed with the sharp smell of ozone, blood, and burnt skin. On the bed, Rex Hidalgo lay entirely motionless, his pale chest bare, his skin cold under the harsh fluorescent lights."Charge to three hundred!" the lead cardiologist shouted, his voice cutting through the mechanical chaos. "Clear!"THUMP!Rex’s body jolted violently off the mattress, his head snapping back as three hundred joules of raw electrical current surged through his chest. He crashed heavily back onto the sheets.The green line on the display fluttered for a fraction of a second, a erratic spike rising, only to flatten out instantly back into that horizontal, relentless line.BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP."No response! No pulse! Start chest compressions!" the doctor ordered,

  • The Wealthy Divorcee   The Hospital Ambush

    The quiet hum of the ICU hummed with an ominous rhythm as the digital display above the service elevator chimed, announcing Alice Florence’s arrival on the fourth floor.Disguised in stolen blue medical scrubs, a surgical cap pulled low over her matted hair, and a sanitary mask concealing her pale, twitching face, Alice blended seamlessly into the sterile environment. In her right pocket, her fingers squeezed the grip of a heavy stainless-steel surgical scalpel. Her left wrist was hastily wrapped in a blood-soaked bandage, a grotesque souvenir from her violent escape from the police transport van.She did not feel the physical pain. Her mind had completely succumbed to a manic, blinding obsession. In her warped reality, Rex’s survival meant her absolute ruin, and Jenna’s heartbreak was the only prize left worth claiming. If she couldn't possess Rex Hidalgo, then no one would. She would sever his life support, slit his throat, and force Jenna to watch his remaining blood spill across t
