Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

This was uncharted territory for her. Beyond any calculated seduction, she found herself truly captivated by Everett hovering above her. She felt like a fish out of water, with Everett being the life-giving source she desperately needed. Everett sensed Selena unconsciously moving closer, her eyes clouded with longing, her face a canvas of silent yearning. He gazed at her, realizing he had finally stirred the mature desires within her.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

His heart swelled with pride and satisfaction, every fiber of him yearning to become one with her. But the timing wasn't right just yet!

"Everett, please..." Selena whispered, her eyes glistening with tears, her voice tinged with a plaintive note.

Everett was almost at his limit, too, but he suddenly pulled away, gently lifting her chin with his slender fingers.

"Selena, I'm not someone who takes things lightly. Since you've decided on the divorce, you're on your way to becoming my ex-wife, and as your soon-to-be ex-husband, I'm under no obligation to fulfill your desires!" he stated firmly. If she had the energy, Selena would have loved to smack him right across the head!

After all that teasing, he claimed he was not someone who took things lightly.

What a jerk!

"However..." Everett deliberately let a warm breath graze Selena's ear, his fingers lightly tracing her collarbone, "If you agree to stay as my wife, as your husband, I'll be at your beck and call."

He watched Selena, lost in a haze of desire, and couldn't resist kissing her eyelids again. His voice grew even huskier, each word laced with a magnetic pull, "Mrs. Bennett, shall we give it another go?"

Selena looked at him, bewildered. She wasn't sure if she was giving in to her desires, his kindness, or the thought of a fresh start.

She felt like she nodded, maybe whispered a yes, but couldn't quite recall. All she remembered was agreeing, and then he kissed her deeply, showering her with his

affection.

The night stretched on, filled with the sounds of heavy breaths and soft whispers echoing through the room.

The next morning, Selena struggled

to open her eyes, realizing she was nestled in a man's strong embrace. She slowly lifted her head, taking in his chiseled jawline and striking features, feeling a bit dazed.

In their three years of marriage, waking up like this in Everett's arms was a rarity. Most of the time, he'd be gone right after, and even if they did share the bed, it felt like they were worlds apart.

This closeness only came from a loving couple, and such moments had only appeared in Selena's dreams.

For a moment, she wasn't sure if this was reality or just another sweet dream...

Sensing her gaze, Everett stirred awake, too. He instinctively kissed her forehead and murmured in a husky voice, "Good morning!"

That single phrase jolted Selena back to reality. Feeling a bit uneasy, she reflexively pushed him away, intending to get out of bed.

Everett's dark eyes narrowed, finding the scene all too familiar. Was she planning to pretend nothing happened again?

He quickly pinned her down, staring at her with a dangerous glint. "Selena, you promised to start fresh last night. Are you thinking of backing out after everything?"
