Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 191

Selena was sipping her morning coffee when she got a call from the mountaintop restaurant.

The manager's voice was as courteous as ever. "Mrs. Bennett, would you like us to reserve the restaurant for you again this year from 8 PM to midnight?"

That was when it hit her. Every year, she'd book the entire place for their anniversary, always hoping Everett would show up. But he never did, leaving her to drink alone in the flickering candlelight. Now that he was miles away in America, the chances were even slimmer. She opened her mouth to refuse, but the words caught in her throat. Instead, she said, "Yes, reserve it for me."

Why should she miss out on celebrating just because Everett wouldn't be there? She was done playing the part of the lonely, resentful wife. This year, she'd celebrate something else: her upcoming divorce, her return to singlehood, and the joy of kicking that unfaithful man to the curb!

Selena always had a flair for the dramatic. She added, "And make sure to serve the finest food and pop open the best wine!"

The manager was thrilled. "Mrs. Bennett, everything will be perfect for you and Mr. Bennett to have an unforgettable night."

...

That evening, Selena went all out. She slipped into her most stunning starry butterfly dress. The top part made her look like a butterfly in flight, accentuating her graceful neck and showing off her delicate collarbones and fair back. The bottom part faded from light to dark blue, fluttering like a river of stars as she moved.
