A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 17:

“Dissolute?” Belinda scoffed, looking up at Kristopher’s sharply defined face. “I just touched a guy’s abs. It’s not as scandalous as you’re making it out to be.”

“You’re upset with my words?” Kristopher responded, his eyes blazing with fury as he grasped her chin.

“A married woman, making contact with men in a nightclub, embracing them on stage. Tell me, am I mistaken?”

Belinda’s brows furrowed as she tried to pull away from his grip. “I’m no longer married. We’re divorced! I’m single now. Whether I choose to touch a guy’s abs or bring someone home, it’s not your concern!”

His fingers tightened excruciatingly on her chin, the pressure mounting. “Belinda, unless I sign those papers, you remain Mrs. Cox, bound by marriage!”
