The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 568

After Danielle finished speaking, an eerie silence settled over the private room.

Alexander’s dark eyes bore into her, unwavering.

For a long moment, neither of them moved.

Then, at last, he sat down, reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pack of cigarettes. He placed one between his lips, but just as he flicked the lighter to life, he froze. In the next instant, both the cigarette and the lighter landed in the trash with a dull thud.

Danielle watched all of this unfold, serene and wordless.

The air in the room grew thick with tension, the silence stretching on for nearly a minute.

Finally, Alexander spoke first, his voice breaking the spell. “Divorce isn’t about spite.”

His gaze was impossibly dark as he looked at Danielle. “It’s just giving you what you wanted.”

Danielle met his eyes. “What I wanted?”

Wasn’t it always Alexander who wanted out? He’d pushed her to file for divorce, forced her hand in court. And now, somehow, he sounded like the wounded party, as if all the cruelty and betrayal had been hers to bear.

He stared at her coldly. “If I didn’t want a divorce, do you really think you could have gotten one?”

Danielle gave a short, bitter laugh.

He wasn’t wrong. That was the reality. But what was the point of digging up the past now? There was nothing worth rehashing, no old debts left to settle between them.

“So what?” Danielle asked, her patience worn thin. “What are you trying to say now? After dragging me through this performance—what, are you trying to prove a point?”

Was all of this just to satisfy her resentment, to make Millie kneel and apologize? Did he really think Millie’s mistakes were the greater sin? Even if Millie was at fault, it was Alexander who enabled her at every turn.

“Are you trying to convince me there’s nothing going on between you and Millie? That you’re so pure and blameless, even now?” Danielle’s voice was icy. “Even if there’s truly nothing between you, everyone else sees your relationship as tainted.”

“But that’s not my concern anymore. Do you understand?”

Danielle had changed.

In just a few months, she’d become cold, unreachable, impossible to communicate with.

She didn’t understand what Alexander wanted. Maybe he had something else to say, but whatever it was, Danielle knew she needed to make herself perfectly clear. No more ambiguity. No more half-truths.

She didn’t believe Alexander had ever loved her. She certainly didn’t believe any of this was meant as an explanation. The only motive she could see was that he wanted to explain himself, to justify something.

But she was done. Every word from her now was final.

She had no interest in his explanations.

There was simply no need. They were strangers now.

Alexander watched her, his expression unreadable, eyes clouded with something she couldn’t decipher.
