Danielle gazed up at the vast headquarters, the company’s name gleaming against the sky. It all felt so surreal, as if she were looking in on someone else’s life. Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined that Newsworld would one day belong to her.
She nodded faintly, barely registering Alexander’s voice beside her.
“Grandmother wants us to come home for dinner tonight.”
Danielle set her pen down and looked up at him.
“She wants to discuss how we should celebrate the twins starting first grade this fall.” Alexander’s tone was casual, but his eyes searched hers. “She thinks you have a real talent for planning these things. There’s a lot she’d like your opinion on.”
Danielle had never minded talking things through with his grandmother. Still, she replied softly, “If she wants to discuss the party, I’ll set something up with her later.”
She avoided the family house whenever possible.
Alexander studied her face for a long moment. “There’s no need to keep your distance like this. You’re only making her suspicious.”
He paused, as if weighing his next words. “Have you two talked about something I should know?”
Danielle knew exactly what he meant.
His grandmother had called, asking if Millie had been the reason their marriage ended, prying for details she refused to give. Danielle hadn’t answered directly, but the old woman was sharp—she’d surely guessed enough on her own.
A bitter smile tugged at Danielle’s lips. “Are you here to interrogate me?”
He just stared, his gaze intense and silent, as if he could see straight through her. She hated the way he looked at her when he wouldn’t speak—scrutinizing, judging, making her feel exposed.
Alexander looked away at last. “My father’s home tonight too. He wants to speak with you.”
Danielle exhaled, steadying herself. Jake. He’d always been there for her, introducing her to the right people, backing her up in front of the Davidson family. At least, he used to be, back when he didn’t know about the divorce. That was a secret they were both still bound to keep by contract.
If Jake wanted to see her, she didn’t have grounds to refuse.

After signing off on the share transfer at the Department of Commerce, Danielle and Alexander walked out into the sunlight.
Alexander glanced sideways at her. “Congratulations.”
Danielle had already dropped the lawsuits; Millie was finally free of the legal mess, no longer tormented by it.
She replied coolly, “Likewise. You got what you wanted.”
Their love had burned so fiercely, and now Danielle had seen it with her own eyes. She was the final witness to their happy ending.
They drove back to the Davidson house in silence. The tension in the car was palpable, so thick it seemed to freeze the air. Even the driver could sense the chill, and kept his eyes fixed on the road.
When they arrived, Raffy was waiting on the steps. As soon as Danielle stepped out, he ran to her, calling, “Mom!”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Where is Chapter 545 - 554? I thought there'll be 9-10 chapters per update....
I knew it! He’s in love with her but he thinks she loves his brother!...
Oh poor Bianca... regrets, regrets :)...
This is it! Revenge. Way to go Dani....
OMG! Chapters 451-462 had me on edge. I wish we could also read Alexander's POV. I swear I want to punch him and Millie. This story is kind of a push and pull. The main character will win some, then lose some. Hope the writer gives Danielle a big win....
I hope not a lot of important dialogues get cut out, especially between Danielle and Alexander. But I can't complain, really. Thank you again for the updates....
I'm already in chapter 432 ATM and I have the impression that the story is so slow. Daniele remains in the dark, her reputation is low and inexistent, her accomplishment and professional abilities are stiĺl hidden, her enemies are taking the joy in humiliatihg her. No evolution in the plot? Please don't stay long in this,readers might lose interest in the long run....
Please update...
The last chapter was too short. More pls. Thank you....
Lovin' this. More more pls!...
