Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

He was giving her a chance, a way to make peace. But Selena was neither ready nor willing to accept it. Her heart had been crushed by his repeated betrayals-what was left to mend?

Everett was on the brink of madness with rage. Selena, if she wanted, could easily calm him down; she knew all the tricks that worked on him. But now, she wouldn't even bother to speak? Had she really fallen for Callum? "Selena, I said, I want you to kiss me!"

His grip on her chin was so tight it hurt, as if her bones might crack. Selena winced, "Everett, let go... please... let go..."

Everett silenced her forcefully with his lips, leaving no room for protest. His kiss was fierce, demanding, leaving no space for refusal or resistance. It was as if he needed to prove something.

But what exactly, he couldn't quite figure out. All he knew was that during those seven days she was gone, her image haunted him constantly. He couldn't stop thinking about her.

Initially, he planned to make her pay for her betrayal once he caught her. No one had ever dared to defy him like this. He had spoiled her too much, leading her to believe he wouldn't really do anything.

Right up until this moment, he was still plotting how to teach her a lesson so she'd never cross him again. But now, all those plans disappeared. He thought if she would just give in, he could forgive her. He had never stooped so low before. Yet she acted like he wasn't there!

Everett took in her flawless makeup, her stunning dress, the lipstick shade DR999-her favorite, the one she used to rave about. She was his wife; her beauty was meant for him and him alone. The thought of her flaunting it for someone else drove him insane with jealousy.

With almost brute force, he stripped her dress off, hurting her arms in the process. The dress lay torn on the floor. Her skin, exposed to the air, trembled whether from cold or anger, it was hard to tell.

"Everett, you're a maniac!" Selena's eyes brimmed with tears as she slapped him hard.

Despite his disdain, he wouldn't let her walk away. She had sacrificed everything and left like a defeated soul, yet he chased her relentlessly. Why?

She put everything she had into that slap, and it hurt her hand. Everett's face snapped to the side, his ears ringing slightly.

stung much, and he always got back at her in other ways. But this time, her fierce resistance was for another man!

Everett chuckled softly. He slowly turned back to face her, his eyes locked onto hers.

"Mrs. Bennett," he said, each word deliberate, "take a good look at who your husband really is!"

With a swift motion, he unbuckled his belt. The next second, it wrapped around her wrists, binding them tightly. Selena's eyes widened in shock.

"Everett, you... get away from me, you jerk..."

She wanted to yell, to fight back, but it dawned on her that Everett had likely been playing with her before. When truly angry and out of control, she couldn't move an inch

Like a fish out of water, helpless and at his mercy. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't break free.

Gradually, her voice became hoarse, her cries shattered by his actions, and tears streamed down her face, soaking the pillow.

Who knows how much time had passed when the room finally fell silent, the sky outside completely dark. After venting his anger, Everett remained beside her, wrapping his arms around her from behind hoteling her close.
