"Noelle, let me remind you," Hendrix said, his tone cold and resolute. "The power to decide whether our relationship continues or ends has always been in my hands. Even back then, if I hadn't agreed, do you really think you could've divorced me so easily?"

The moment their lips met, tears slipped down Noelle's cheek.

The cold touch of her tears sent a shiver through Hendrix's body, but he quickly brushed it off and deepened the kiss. He forced her lips apart and plunged his tongue in, claiming her in a deep, relentless hunger.
