His hand gave the wine glass a gentle swirl before he took a sip, the red wine's rich flavor was sweet as it entered and left a lingering taste. After savoring it, he chuckled softly, "Mrs. Bennett, is there anything else you're hiding from me? Spill it now, and I'll let it slide, no Everett's voice was mesmerizing, a deep, soul-stirring baritone that made even his threats sound like he was whispering sweet nothings. Selena felt a chill run down her spine, her hands unconsciously gripping her bathrobe, crumpling it. The man's presence was overwhelming, sending her heart into a wild flutter. She involuntarily moved her lips, barely holding it together. Thankfully, her motherly instincts kicked in, and at the last moment, she said, "I don't know what you're talking about."
matter what!" He paused, his gaze turning icy, "But if you're not upfront, and I find out myself, don't expect me to be all lovey-dovey about it."
Everett silently sized her up. His gaze was so sharp it felt like it could see right through her. Selena held her ground, standing there while he scrutinized her, Mateo was her child, her own flesh and blood, and she couldn't possibly give him up. "Alright then." Everett couldn't detect anything, so he scoffed, "You'd better not have!"
Right then, there was a knock at the door, and Alex called out, "Mr. Everett, the helicopter's ready." Everett looked up, finished his drink in one go, and then told Selena, "Go get changed, we're heading out." Selena hesitated. Everett, unfazed, smirked, "Mrs. Bennett, are you waiting for me to dress you?" "Not that I'd mind. I'd be more than happy to." Selena spun around, grabbed her clothes, and marched into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.novelbin
Seeing her act, Everett's smile widened. He stood up, shed his bathrobe, and dressed himself with the clothes from the couch. Leaving the room, Everett wrapped an arm around Selena and took the elevator up to the hotel's rooftop. This wasn't just any hotel, it was the best in Germany, complete with its own helipad. When they arrived, the helicopter was ready, with Alex and a group of bodyguards standing by.
Alex greeted Selena with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, but that was as far as it went. If even Dr. Campbell couldn't do anything, what chance did anyone else have? Selena barely had any room to resist as Everett carried her onto the helicopter. He followed her, fastening her seatbelt as if he were shackling her. The cabin door slowly closed, and she bit her lower lip bit by bit.
Just before takeoff, Alex suddenly started waving frantically, mouthing something urgent. Everett glanced over, frowning, his lips about to order the pilot to take off. Alex took a few steps forward, waving even more vigorously. Selena jumped in, "Alex looks really worried, Everett. What if... it's something important?"
The man's dark eyes shot a look at her. Did she think he couldn't see through her little plan? Hoping a delay might give her a chance to escape? No way was anyone saving her today! Everett smirked to himself, determined to squash her futile hopes, and ordered the cabin door opened for Alex to come in. "What's going on? This better be good!"
