Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

This sudden barrage of questions had Selena choking on her own spit, causing her to cough and blush a bright pink.

"Selena, you alright?" Callum asked, handing her a few tissues.

Everett's gaze cut sharply towards the calm Callum, his dark eyes narrowing with a chill that shattered the previously warm atmosphere. The room felt charged with tension.

Grace clutched her chest, feeling too embarrassed to look up. She had hoped Selena might bring home a future husband, but two at once? How were they going to get through this without a hitch?

Initially, Selena reached for the tissue, but Everett's intense glare stopped her in her tracks. It was as if his eyes warned her: touch the tissue, and you're in for it. Her fingers trembled slightly, but she managed to keep them still. Instead, she grabbed some tissues herself, dabbed her lips, and tossed them into the trash.
