The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1145

After sending the emoji, Kirsten's expression was anything but calm. As the screen went dark, she took a deep breath. She was the clearest-eyed observer in this emotional triangle. From the days when Danielle struggled to raise Niki, to Gian's silent devotion, and finally to Alexander's return and the settling of their relationships, she had seen it all.

Danielle's feelings for Gian were genuine—a deep gratitude and reliance—but they had nothing to do with romantic love. Because she saw it so clearly, Kirsten felt stuck. Danielle's request to "tell him for me" sounded simple, but it carried the weight of a thousand pounds.

What was she supposed to say to Gian? That Danielle's heart only had room for Alexander? That his waiting was hopeless from the start? The words were too cruel. She couldn't bring herself to say them. Gian was anything but a fragile man. He was steady and perceptive, a decisive force in the business world and a warm, dependable friend in private. But even the strongest person could be wounded by unrequited love.

Kirsten didn't want to be the one to rip open that wound, much less be the one to inflict it. She picked up her phone and put it down several times before finally rubbing her throbbing temples. It was better to just let time do its work. Some things were best left to fade on their own.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from the family estate. Kirsten's brow furrowed instantly. She didn't even have to answer to know what they wanted—to pressure her about blind dates and discuss another family alliance. She swiped to answer. Sure enough.

Her mother's voice, gentle yet unyielding, came through the receiver. "Kirsten, the son of the Linden family is returning to the country next week. I've already arranged a meeting for you. You absolutely have to go." "Mom, I've told you, I don't like him," Kirsten said, her tone edged with impatience.
