The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell novel Chapter 886

"Do you think I wanted things to turn out this way?" Tears streamed down Nathan's face. "It was you—the entire Davidson family—who pushed me to this point!"

"I just wanted to make you all see that you would pay for everything you did to me!"

Watching his son's frantic display, Jake was filled with regret and helplessness.

He knew Nathan was telling the truth. The family's tragedy was largely a result of their internal strife and injustices.

But it was too late for regrets. Nathan was in jail, and Jake himself was now implicated in the scandal.

-

Soon, news of Jake's impeachment spread throughout Northridge City.

Some accused him of enabling a family member's crimes, others of abusing his power. Overnight, his reputation was in tatters, and he became a public pariah.

He sat alone in his empty office, staring out at the bustling city below, his heart filled with despair.

The person enjoying this the most, he thought, must be Alexander.

-

Back at their villa, Rebecca was already waiting for Alexander in the living room with his medication.

"Have a seat," Rebecca said calmly, gesturing to the sofa across from her. "I heard about what happened to Miss Crawford. It's remarkable that you got her back safely."

Alexander sank onto the sofa, rubbing his temples wearily. "All that matters is that she's safe."

Rebecca placed a glass of water and a few pills in front of him. "This is a new prescription. It has fewer side effects than the last one. Give it a try."

"Also, I want to tell you that you shouldn't put so much pressure on yourself, and you shouldn't always shut yourself away."

She paused before continuing, "You're always so focused on protecting others that you neglect your own feelings."

After Rebecca left, Alexander sat alone in the living room, taking in the familiar surroundings.

Every corner of this place was filled with memories of him and Danielle.

The kitchen where they cooked together, the living room where they watched TV, the bedroom where they slept…

And because he was Niki's father. But the things he'd done wrong... he had to pay for them.

He knew he couldn't lie to himself any longer.
