The Unwanted Wife's Unexpected Comeback - Chapter 809

Chapter 809:

A few months ago, she poured her resources into launching a tech company in your name, mirroring your previous strategies. But with limited connections, the venture stalled.”

Alicia had prepared everything quietly. She had never hinted at her departure. Yet, she vanished the day she’d promised to marry him. That was the most devastating blow to Caden.

Hank added, “Mr. Ward, today we received a call from a shop owner. Unable to reach Ms. Bennett, they contacted us, requesting you visit at your convenience.”

According to the address, Caden visited that shop, finding that it was a place he recognized — a witchcraft shop he’d heard of. When he arrived, the owner seemed to understand at once.

“She must have struggled. Leaving someone like you isn’t an easy decision.”

The owner handed Caden a small box, her tone grave.

“I’ve completed the ritual. Take these wish cards with you — they’ll only work if you keep them close.”

Caden took the box in both hands and stared at it.

“What’s inside?” he asked.

“Three wishes, each one costing her a hundred and fifty thousand,” the shop owner replied.

A feeling of certainty washed over Caden. These wishes were meant for him. He opened the box, disregarding the owner’s caution.

“Wait!” she warned urgently.

“If you open them now, they’ll lose their power!”

However, Caden just ignored her. He slowly pulled out each of the three cards, lost in thought.

Alicia’s handwriting was elegant and bold, each stroke neat and beautiful. On each card, a single line was written, and as Caden read them, the words sank heavily into his heart.

“May Caden live a long and healthy life.” “May Caden’s future be bright and full of glory.” “May Caden forget Alicia.”

Caden’s life had been a series of regrets: a broken family, the loss of his mother at an early age, and an arrogance that came too easily with early success. After years of turmoil, he finally found peace when he met Alicia. She was shy but dedicated to love, offering all her affection with open arms and no conditions. Because it came so effortlessly, he had thought it would always be there. He took those simple, joyful days for granted.

Now, he understood the steep price of youthful recklessness. The pain was so intense that it left him numb. He stood frozen, the cards trembling slightly in his hand.

The shop owner, noticing the color drained from his face, hesitantly called out, “Sir? Are you all right?”

The voice brought Caden back to the present, and he tightened his grip on the cards. His voice, low and distant, broke the silence.

“You just said if these cards were revealed, the wishes would lose their power and wouldn’t come true, correct?”
