Alexander, dressed in sleek black, exuded a cool, distant energy. Danielle matched him, her own black attire projecting the same crisp, icy aura.
In some ways, they were mirror images of each other.
Like poles of a magnet, they repelled—never meant to be husband and wife.
But with their status and power, their union had always felt like an alliance of titans, a rush that came from power joining with power.
Millie smirked, lips curling with a trace of mockery.
Yet, no matter how you looked at it, the fact remained: they were divorced now, whatever they’d once had—if anything—was long gone.
And as for Alexander, his heart had always belonged to one woman alone.
Danielle and Alexander had been married for five, maybe six years, but there’d never been any real emotion between them. There never could be. Outsiders might’ve thought they were the perfect match, almost too good to be true, but it meant nothing.
In the end, Alexander would only ever belong to her.

After stepping off the stage, Danielle was intercepted by Gian Atwood.
He regarded her thoughtfully. “So, you met with him backstage today?”
He seemed genuinely surprised. Everyone had heard the business association was electing a new president, but no one expected it would be Alexander.
Danielle nodded. “I did.”
“Did he say anything important?”
“Just business. Nothing out of the ordinary.”
Technically, Alexander hadn’t said much, but there had been undertones—subtle hints.
It was clear he cared about Millie.
He’d reminded Danielle to remain fair and impartial.
“Didn’t he ask you to go easy on Millie? Not to make things difficult for her?”
Danielle glanced down at her watch, her voice calm and unhurried. “With the power he holds now, he doesn’t need me to go easy on Millie. If he wants to see her rise, he can make it happen anytime he wants.”
There was no point in arguing over it.
Gian’s expression tightened. “You’re just going to stand by and watch someone like Millie—someone clearly problematic—climb the ladder in this industry?”
“If she ever makes it to the top, with her temperament, it could be disastrous.”
Millie was hardly a saint. If she ever reached the pinnacle of society, who knew what she’d be capable of?
That was what worried Gian.
People like her didn’t need to be targeted—but they definitely needed to be kept in check.
Danielle understood all too well.
If Millie ever did make it to the top, she might become a real threat.
Gian pressed on. “Do you really think Alexander would put someone like that on a pedestal?”

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!...
