NovelEnglishChapter 0447 +25 BONUS Peter stood face-to-face with Marcus Bartz, the man's presence a stark reminder of a past he had tried to bury. The good mood Peter had arrived with vanished instantly. A chill coursed through him as he understood what this visit could mean. His previously relaxed demeanor shifted his dark eyes now sharp, their intensity scrutinizing Marcus, whose stance exuded authority and a sense of mystery.
"Hello, Marcus. It seems you've been left speechless," Peter finally said, his voice measured.
Marcus appeared momentarily lost, his expression a mixture of disbelief and uncertainty.

Bring it to the study, and make sure Ethan has breakfast on time. I don't want any interruptions." Marcus barely registered the command as Peter moved past him, but before Peter could leave the room, Marcus grabbed his arm and pulled him into a tight embrace. Tears welled in Marcus's eyes as he clung to Peter, overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions.
"Marcus, calm down! Please," Peter said, his voice strained as he tried to extricate himself from the unexpected hug.
"It's you, Peter! You're alive! But... but I saw you-I identified your remains!" Marcus's voice broke as he stared at Peter's face, his hand reaching up to touch it as if to confirm it wasn't an illusion.
"Let's go to the study and talk. Theodore will bring us coffee. We clearly have a lot to discuss," Peter said, steering Marcus toward the study.
[Meanwhile, in the Swiss Alps] "Madam, please, you need to eat something. I can't keep giving you nutrients intravenously-your veins are too damaged," Eliya pleaded, her tone both firm and concerned "I told you I'm not eating anything! I want my husband here!" Alexia screamed, her fury reverberating through the room.
"Madam, the master left several days ago and didn't say when he'd return." "Don't you have his number? Call him and tell him I want to s him!" Alexia was determined to make her husband's life as miserable as her own. If he had legally declared them married, then he was legally obligated to care for her. If he had chosen this hell for her, she would ensure he was dragged into it with her.
"Madam, I'm only to use his number for emergencies. This isn't one." "Of course it's an emergency! Look!" Alexia exclaimed, moving the fingers of her right hand slightly.
Eliya froze, astonished. For Alexia, even that small motion was a monumental achievement. Without hesitation, she rushed to inform Mr. Palmer but refrained from mentioning anything to Alexia. She hurried to the kitchen and dialed his number repeatedly, only to find that it was turned off. Reluctantly, she gave up, knowing he would see her calls and respond eventually.

"But, madam-" 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0447 "Leavealone!!" Alexia shouted, her voice cutting off any further protest.
Eliya hesitated before leaving, her concern evident. Alexia glared at the ceiling as she lay back her fury !!! simmering. If her husband thought he could escape this hell, she would make sure he paid dearly for it. [Back at Westhaven, Valentia]
Peter sat behind his desk, his sharp eyes fixed on Marcus, who had taken a seat across from him. The shock of seeing Peter alive still reverberated through Marcus's every movement. He stared at the man before him, trying to reconcile the person in front of him with the friend he once knew. Peter was alive, yet something about him was profoundly different-a change that seemed to radiate from deep within. Marcus struggled to find the words, his thoughts swirling as the door to the study creaked open.
"Ethan's awake. He's watching cartoons and already has cereal with milk," Theodore said as he entered Ma with a tray of coffee and cookies. “He ve says he's waiting for you to have breakfast with him." Theodore set the tray down on the desk. "Well, I'll leave you two alone. If you need anything, you know how to reach me," he added, his tone carrying a hint of unspoken caution.
