The unwanted wife’s unexpected comeback

Chapter 109:

Ted, already eight years old, was surprisingly strong for his age.

Alice felt a sharp, overwhelming pain as he hit her. Before she could recover, he hit her again. The blows carried

the malice of a child who had been taught to fight dirty.

Alice struggled to defend herself, but the other children quickly restrained her. Ted continued to hit her and

shouted, “This is what you get for messing with my mother! “This is what you deserve.”

Her aim was deliberate, aiming for the softer parts of his body, avoiding his face and vital points. Despite the

pain, Alice managed to push one of the children away.

Ted saw this and immediately dropped the stick, grabbing a rope. In no time, he had tied his hands.

Alice's voice grew firm as she demanded, "What's wrong with you? Letgo."

Ted looked at her, his eyes burning with intensity. “If | let you go, you'll hurt my mother again. “I'll make sure to

kill you.”

Alice froze, her heart stopping for a moment. It was the first tshe had seen such a fierce, almost terrifying

expression in a child's eyes.

He was incredibly daring.

“Are you planning to kill me?” Alice struggled against the taut rope, breathing heavily. “Has no one ever told you

that killing is a crime? You'll end up in jail.”

To her surprise, Ted scoffed and replied, "My mother toldthat I'm a boy, so nothing will happen toif | kill

you. Didn't you know that?"

Alicia's fear intensified as the weight of her words sank in. She understood the law and was using it to her

advantage. It was clear that Mrs. Reyes had taught her well.

Even if Alicia survived today, she knew she would suffer. Mrs. Reyes would let Ted take the blame, knowing that

the law would protect him.

As these thoughts were running through her mind, Ted suddenly pushed her into the pool.

Alice felt her stomach drop as she lost her balance and fell. She tried to scream for help, but no sound cout

of her lips. Within moments, her head hit a rock. Pain shot through her body before the world went numb.

His energy drains and everything goes dark as he loses consciousness.

Her body slowly sank beneath the surface of the water. One of the boys, clearly frightened, gasped. “Ted, she...”

Ted stared in shock. The sound of Alice's head hitting the rock had been so loud that it echoed throughout the

yard. Now, Alice wasn't moving in the water, and it looked like she was really gone.

“I just wanted her to get in the water. “I didn’t know she hit a rock,” Ted stammered, his panic growing as he

watched her body float upward. Blood began to spread into the water, deepening his fear. “It wasn't me! “I didn’t

push her.”

Mrs. Reyes had only told Ted to mistreat Alicia. She never intended to hurt her like that.

In a fit of panic, he ran outside, screaming for his mother, Mrs. Reyes. The other children, equally frightened,

followed him, their shrill cries filling the air.

Caden was in the living room, talking to Randolph, when he heard the commotion outside. He looked out into the

yard and saw Ted running into Mrs. Reyes's arms.

Caden recognized the boy instantly. Ted had been the one who had taken Alicia's skewers during the meal. The

look Ted had given him earlier suggested he held ssort of grudge.

Randolph, puzzled, asked, "What's going on out there?"

Rachel looked toward the noise, her voice unconcerned. “They're just skids misbehaving. “They may have

had a scuffle, but it's nothing serious.”

Caden noticed the fleeting look of guilt that crossed Rachel's face. He watched her closely, but kept his thoughts

to himself.

As Rachel turned her attention to the small building in the distance, a frown created her forehead, and a flash of

uncertainty passed through her expression.

Caden looked restlessly out across the open lawn. It was vast, but there was no sign of Alice anywhere. An

uneasy feeling cover him and he rose from his seat.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Reyes quietly questioned Ted, asking for more details.

Ted was shaking, his voice barely above a whisper. “She’s dead... She hit her head and now she’s dead.” Fear

gripped Mrs. Reyes. Her voice dropped to a whisper. “She's dead?”

"Who died?" he asked, barely able to understand what he heard.

A booming voice cut through the tense atmosphere. Mrs. Reyes looked up in alarm as her eyes met Caden's. His

face was shadowed with fury and the intensity of his presence was overwhelming.

Before Ms. Reyes could speak, Ted blurted out, “It wasn't me! “It wasn’t me.” Her immediate reaction was to

blsomeone else.

Caden's suspicion deepened. It was clear that something had happened to Alicia.

Without hesitation, he grabbed Ted

Ted had never felt so scared. His mind went blank, and his body froze.

“It's upstairs... in the pool,” he murmured.

“What floor?” Caden pressed.

“The second...” Ted stammered.

Caden threw him to the ground. Ted screamed in pain from the fall.
