Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 531

Selena couldn't shake the memories of that dimly lit cabin on the yacht. The reckless abandon with which he acted, and how she pushed against him with all her might, hands firmly planted on his chest. Grinding her teeth, she warned, "Everett, if you try anything like that again, I swear I'll..."
