Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 520

Selena was still trying to wrap her head around the shocking news. Her emotions were all over the place-surprised, angry, and a tangled mess of feelings she couldn't even begin to describe. Meanwhile, Everett had reached his limit. He was done waiting. He'd been waiting far too long...

The cabin's small window was cracked open, letting in the wild waves and the bone-chilling night breeze from the sea. The wind whipped through the window, sending the curtains into a dance. The cold breeze made Selena shiver, snapping her back to reality. Everett's eyes were dark, filled with a deep, simmering rage.

"Everett..." Selena tried to keep her cool. "Let's talk this over. I can explain..."

"You want to talk now?" Everett's voice was rough with anger, each word dripping with fury. "You want to talk now, but I'm done talking!" His meaning was clear as day.

Selena's face went pale, but she wasn't about to back down. "About our divorce..."

Whether it was the word "divorce" that hit a nerve or he just didn't want her to have the chance to speak, Everett decided to go with his gut. He'd been thinking about this for three long years, and now he was finally getting what he wanted.
