The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 1477

Africa was a bloodbath. He couldn't risk her life, nor could he afford to lose the gamble.

As for his feelings—it wasn't that he didn't want to offer them. It was that he didn't dare.

He slowly squeezed his eyes shut.

Stepping forward, he completely ignored her resistance and reached out to gently brush her cheek, only for her to violently flinch away.

"Don't touch me," she snapped, her eyes ablaze with defiance.

His hand hovered awkwardly in the air for a long moment before he slowly lowered it.

"Bring her back," he ordered darkly.

This time, none of his men hesitated.

Two enforcers stepped up, boxing her in with absolute, undeniable finality.

Staring at this terrifyingly stubborn man, reading the cryptic, maddening obsession in his dark eyes, another wave of suffocating heartbreak washed over her, drowning out all logic.

She knew there was no escaping today.

Back at the estate.

The moment the foyer lights flicked on, the atmosphere turned to lead.

He stood at the doorway, practically radiating frost, his large hand locked firmly around her wrist.

He had dragged her here by force.

She hadn't fought him. She hadn't screamed or thrown a tantrum. She merely lowered her gaze, her long lashes masking the sheer, glacial coldness on her face.

She still smelled like the crisp night wind. Even with her hair slightly tousled, her aristocratic elegance remained entirely intact.

Even when being held against her will, she carried herself with the untouchable pride of old money.

When Claire walked out of the living room, her nails dug into her palms.

She had stayed up all night waiting for him.

Only for him to walk through the front door dragging another woman inside.

"Sammie," she started, her voice soft but strained to the breaking point. "Who did you bring home?"

He frowned. "It's Rebecca. She'll be staying here for a while."

"Staying here?"

Claire let out a tight laugh that didn't quite reach her eyes. "In our house?"
