Morning.
Danielle was up early, making breakfast for Niki.
Niki was always disciplined; every day, she’d get up at dawn to work on her practice problems.
She’d learned a lot from Mr. Hawthorne and already had her own study plans mapped out.
Now, sitting at the dining table in the living room, she swung her legs beneath her chair, focused on her workbook.
“After breakfast, want to come see the new house with me?” Danielle asked, watching her daughter closely.
Niki set down her pencil and looked up. “Sure!”
Danielle had spent the past few weeks touring homes, finally settling on one in a safe, well-kept neighborhood in Northridge City’s upscale district. The security was excellent.
Since Niki had graduated from kindergarten, there was no need to keep renting near her old school.
“If you don’t like the new place, we’ll keep looking,” Danielle reassured her.
Niki shook her head. “I think anywhere you pick is great, Mom. I’ll like whatever you choose.”
She always agreed with her mother, so sweet and obedient.
Danielle had bought a fully furnished place—she didn’t want to waste time on renovations.
Thinking of the move made Danielle recall Alexander’s recent questions—he always seemed so preoccupied with whether they’d found a new place yet.
She couldn’t quite figure out his motives.
Between the lines, the message was clear: their current neighborhood wasn’t safe.
After hearing that so many times, Danielle found herself growing anxious too, suddenly noticing all the little ways their security seemed lacking.
They finished breakfast and went to inspect the new house, treating it as a final walkthrough.
Danielle had a business trip coming up, so she’d leave Niki with her own mother. When she got back, they’d move in.
“So, what do you want to do today? I’ve got the whole day for you,” Danielle said as they got back in the car.
Niki thought for a moment.
“I think we’ve been everywhere in Northridge City by now, Mom. If you have time, maybe we could go to the beach one day? But only when you’re not busy,” Niki replied, her voice soft and sweet, her smile patient and understanding.
Danielle tried to carve out as much time as she could for Niki on weekends, no matter how hectic work got.
After touring the house, Danielle took Niki to the mall.
It had been a while since they’d gone shopping together.
Danielle steered the car toward the city’s biggest shopping center. Niki sat in the backseat, scrolling through her tablet.
Suddenly, she spotted a news alert.
They were less than a mile from the mall when Niki spoke up. “Mom, look—there’s a fire over there. Maybe we shouldn’t go.”

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!...
