Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Everett was deep in thought as his car pulled up to Moon Bay. He stepped into the bedroom, expecting warmth and comfort, but instead found nothing but darkness and cold. His brow furrowed in confusion, and he called for Ava. "Where's my wife?"

Ava, who had been briefed by Selena before she left, casually replied, "She went on a business trip, sir. Left this afternoon. Didn't she tell you?"

A business trip? Right after he'd helped her out of a big mess. She couldn't even give him a heads-up before taking off? It was obvious she was dodging him!

Everett's handsome features darkened like a stormy sky. Ava, ever the perceptive one, noticed his displeasure and realized Selena hadn't clued him in. She couldn't make sense of this couple.

Back in the day, Everett was the one never at home, leaving Selena to spend sleepless nights alone. Now, just when he'd finally come around, she was the one nowhere to be found. Honestly, they were more dramatic than the soap operas she watched. Everett rubbed his temples in frustration and headed back to the bedroom, pulling out his phone to call Selena. A cold automated voice quickly greeted him: "The number you have dialed is currently switched off..."

He gripped his phone tighter, his eyes steely with determination. "Selena, you really know how to play this game."
