Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 354

The man wasn't exactly gentle, and Selena was still getting used to everything, wincing in pain as her beautiful features scrunched up. Frustrated, she scratched at his neck with her fingernails, leaving faint marks. Sadly, her nails didn't do much damage, and instead of deterring him, it seemed to spur Everett on even more.

He glanced at Selena, noticing her mix of anger, annoyance, and a hint of vulnerability. Her eyes were misty, and the corners of his mouth curled into a deeper smile.

"Mrs. Bennett, let me ask you one more time, are you in or out, hmm?"

He lowered his voice, making it both smooth and enticing, a tone that could easily pull someone in.

Selena wasn't quite sure if he was asking about being together again or having another baby, or maybe both. But whatever it was, her answer was still a firm no.

Her lips moved to respond, but before she could get the words out, Everett seemed to predict her refusal, clearly not wanting to hear it.

With a touch of reprimand, he became more intense, like a storm, and Selena felt like a little boat caught in a raging sea, tossed about with no control.

The waves lifted her up high, then crashed her down, leaving her dizzy, her head tilting back, mouth slightly parted, her vision blurry as she stared up at the chandelier.

The pendants of the chandelier swung in her view, and soon enough, her eyes were red and misted over.

She couldn't quite tell if it was hot water on her skin or her own tears.
