Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Reflecting on the recent events, Selena felt her joy crumble into pieces, leaving her feeling utterly foolish. "You used to keep your affairs hidden back home, and now, three years later, you've gotten cleverer- moving your little escapades overseas. If I hadn't shown up today, I'd still be in the dark, playing the fool!" "I've told you before, if you want to have flings outside, fine! Just keep it from me and the child. I don't want us getting hurt. Spare me the lies about love, and quit pretending to be some devoted partner." "Because it's sickening!"

Her face was ashen, and she was trembling all over.

No woman can endure such humiliation over and over.

How many more times does she have to catch him in the act?

It took tremendous effort for her to overcome the shadows of three years ago, so why does he insist on dragging her back into this mess?

Selena was furious with him now! "Selena!"

Everett's lips were pressed into a tight line, his Adam's apple bobbing as he gripped her shoulders, trying to explain.

"Yasmine and I aren't what you think! What you saw isn't the truth!"

"Not the truth?"

Selena let out a bitter laugh. "I thought that pink diamond necklace, a symbol of true love, was meant for me. Turns out, I was just kidding myself."
