"It's not your fault."
Danielle gently took his hand. His skin felt cold to the touch, rough calluses still present on his knuckles. "Harold has always been a slippery bastard. Even if you hadn't been injured, he would have found a way to run."
"Lincoln and Carter didn't do it on purpose. It was just a momentary lapse. Don't be too hard on them, and please, stop torturing yourself over it."
Alex looked down at their intertwined hands. The warmth from her palm felt like a lifeline, slowly melting the icy grip of anger around his heart.
He squeezed her hand back, his voice thick with exhaustion. "I'm just so pissed. He's ruined so many lives, done so much damage, and yet we keep letting him slip right through our fingers. I'm terrified he's going to come back and target you and Niki."
That was his ultimate, paralyzing fear.
Harold was a vindictive psychopath. After making his escape in Penang, there was zero chance he would just walk away. He would undoubtedly come back for blood, and Danielle and Niki were the easiest ways to break Alex.
He didn't give a damn if Harold came after him directly. But the thought of his family in the crosshairs was enough to make him physically sick.
Danielle said firmly, "Don't panic. We're back in Westbrook. This is our territory. Captain Quinn is here, and we've got top-tier security in place. Even if Harold tries to pull something, he won't be able to touch us."
"Besides, the captain already triggered the Interpol Red Notice. He can run to the most remote corner of the globe, but eventually, someone is going to put a bullet in him or slap cuffs on his wrists."
He looked up at her, seeing only unwavering trust and fierce loyalty in her eyes. It was as if no matter how violent the storm got, she would stand right there in the trenches with him.
In that single moment, all his frustration, anxiety, and exhaustion dissolved into a profound sense of strength.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Wife You Buried Is Back from Hell
Although she was one of the protagonist (and best friend of Danielle), I'm really annoyed with Kristen. What does she actually want? She wants to be completely free from Gian, whatever their business is. But when Gian doesn't care about her, she gets annoyed and overthinks. Hey, Kristen, the world doesn't revolve around you. You may follow your own feelings, but that doesn't mean you can ignore other people's feelings at all!...
It seems like this novel will end at chapter 5000. Every time one issue ends, another one pops up, and it seems like the author is just trying to drag it out. I'm starting to get tired of reading it....
I hope daniele will have no end game with alexander since whatever the reason is, he only give her too much grievencess. I hope there will be another male character with stronger present than alexander to have the end game with daniele. Hated that in the name of love or protection alexander can treat another woman better, not just once, but with this new lorie girl... Oh my blood pressure getting higher cause by the new plot :(...
