After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 120
Lucas ignored her words, and Aveline closed her eyes, giving up on struggling.She had given up struggling long ago.She couldn't break free.If she kept struggling, she was sure he would leave her exhausted on the bed.Sleep overtook her, and Aveline closed her eyes.Lucas' kisses traveled to her ears, and as he gazed at her closed eyelids, his expression became more complex and deep.The water on his body had been replaced by sweat. He stared at her swollen lips from his kisses and suddenly grabbed her chin to kiss her again.Aveline, who had finally fallen asleep, was awakened once more."Mmm... you bastard," Aveline mumbled, pushing him weakly, but he didn't budge.Lucas deepened the kiss, his actions deliberate, as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.Maybe this way, she wouldn't say things that made him angry or talk about divorce so casually.The next morning.When Aveline woke up, Lucas was no longer in the room.The chaotic memories of the previous night lingered in he

Selena immediately spoke up, "Hey, do you know about first come, first served? I saw that necklace first!"Sophia blinked, a smile spreading across her face as she looked at Aveline. "Perhaps you should ask Miss Young if she understands first come, first served.""You!"Selena was furious, pointing at Sophia's nose. "Why are you putting on a show? Do you think Aveline cares about this? You should be talking to the one who refuses to divorce, not taking it out on Aveline!"Sophia's smile only grew. "Miss Quin, don't you know? The reason Lucas hasn't divorced Miss Young is to protect me. As long as Miss Young carries the title of Mrs. Tudor, I won’t be in danger.”"Shameless!"Selena was about to explode and turned to the silent, stern-faced man. "Is what she said true? Is that really what you're thinking?"Lucas, dressed in a black suit and exuding an air of cold elegance, looked at Selena with his emotionless eyes. "It's just a necklace. Resorting to shouting when you can't get what yo

Lucas' lips pressed into a straight line, his eyes fixed on Aveline. "You're not going to apologize?"Aveline felt a wave of pressure settle over her heart.She feared nothing and had no attachments, but Selena was different.She could hold her own against Sophia, but when Lucas spoke, she was instantly at a disadvantage.She was clearly not the favored one.The defiance in Aveline's eyes faded, replaced by a trace of self-mockery and bitterness."Lucas, are you sure you want to do this?"To humiliate her again and again?To make her feel utterly ashamed and humiliated?Lucas' voice was low and magnetic, his tone cool and detached. "What do you think?"Aveline closed her eyes, then nodded. "Fine, I understand."She turned to Sophia, about to apologize, but Selena stopped her."Ave, don't bow to people like them. I'm not apologizing. Let's see if he can really do anything to me!"Selena wrapped her arm around Aveline's shoulder. "Come on, we don't need that stupid necklace. I'll get you

Lucas' eyes darkened momentarily, then he said, "I'll have someone take you home."Sophia nodded. "Alright."The driver arrived quickly, and after ensuring Sophia was in the car, Lucas took out his phone and made a call."Find a time to catch Selena."...After finishing their steaks, Aveline and Selena wandered around the night market, their moods significantly lifted.Aveline linked arms with Selena and sighed. "Selena, maybe you should go abroad."Selena shook her head. "No way, I'm staying here to keep you company and protect you from that jerk."Aveline joked, "Maybe I should marry you instead."Selena laughed. "Yes, yes, yes!"Aveline smiled."Fancy seeing you here."A playful voice interrupted them. They turned to see Russell, with his signature blue hair, smiling as he approached.Aveline was surprised. "Mr. Skyler, you're here too?"Russell replied, "I'm a regular here. The pasta over there is great. Mention my name and you'll get a discount."Aveline teased, "Really? I might

Aveline looked at her. "I want you to take back what you said."Selena shook Aveline's arm, pleading, "Ave, please, come on, please..."Aveline couldn't resist Selena's pleading, and her heart softened. "Alright."Selena beamed with joy and turned to Russell. "When does it start?"Russell replied, "No rush, I'll come find you in a bit. You two enjoy yourselves for now."With that, he turned and left.Selena and Aveline sat in the best seats, and the waiter began bringing over drinks and fruit platters.Aveline held her glass, looking at the brightly colored drink inside. "I suddenly regret this."Wasn't this just asking for trouble?She already had enough problems, and if she got Russell involved, things could get even messier.Selena said, "Ave, you're overthinking it. It's just a dance. When was the last time you danced?"Aveline sighed. "I'm not up to it anymore, I'm too old for this."Selena laughed. "Just do it to make me happy."Aveline gave her a resigned look. "It's too late to

Aaron jumped back in surprise, quickly pulling his hand away. "Whoa, what's with that expression? Are you looking to sign with my company too?"Lucas glared at the two on stage for a long moment before shifting his gaze to the front-row seats. "Brian."Brian immediately stepped forward. "Yes, Mr. Tudor."Lucas said coldly, "Take Selena to the private room."With that, he turned and headed toward the staircase.Brian nodded and walked toward the front-row seats.Aaron was stunned. "Wait, what's going on? Who's Selena? Why are you grabbing her? Lucas, don't just walk away, answer me."...Selena was clapping enthusiastically, her voice hoarse from cheering, her face glowing with excitement. This was incredible! The chemistry between Russell and Aveline on the dance floor was electric. She was all in on this pairing!Just then, a young man with a serious expression approached her. "Miss Quin, Miss Young is waiting for you backstage."Selena blinked. "Why did she go backstage?"The young m

Russell said, "I'll go with you. He won't dare to bully you with me around."Aveline felt a warmth in her heart but smiled and refused, "No, it's fine. Since we're still married, it'll be easier for me to handle things."Russell's eyes flickered for a moment before he nodded. "Alright, but call me if you need anything.""Okay."Russell turned and left.Aveline made her way to the A12 private room. Standing at the door, she took two deep breaths to steady her emotions before pushing it open.The room was spacious, with a view of the scene below. The noise filtered up, though it was quieter than downstairs.Lucas sat on the sofa, holding a glass of wine in one hand and a cigarette in the other, exuding a cold and dignified presence.Opposite him, a handsome stranger was curiously observing her.Aveline didn't have time to pay attention to him. She searched for Selena and found her being held down in a chair by Brian. Seeing Aveline, Selena tried to get up, but Brian pushed her back down.

Aveline clenched her fists, her gaze sweeping over the assortment of drinks on the table. She walked over and stood opposite Lucas, taking a deep breath before saying, "Lucas, you're doing this to vent for Sophia, but Selena is here because of me. How about this: I'll drink all of these, and you leave Selena alone. Is that fair?"Lucas’ eyes stared at her coldly for a long moment without saying a word. Aveline smiled faintly, then grabbed a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and started drinking. The sharp taste burned her throat, making her cough violently, tears squeezing out of her eyes. She paused briefly, then continued drinking.Lucas didn't stop her; he just watched, his gaze dark and complicated."Ave!" Selena's eyes widened as she struggled to move closer but was held back by Brian. "Let go of me! Let me go!"Selena's voice was tinged with tears as she glared at Lucas, but she didn't dare insult him further. Aveline was doing this for her sake; if she antagonized Lucas now, all of Av

“Got something on your mind, Dad?” Gavin asked, noticing Wilfried’s serious expression as he entered the room. His own demeanor softened a bit.Wilfried didn’t waste time, sitting down heavily on the sofa with a stern look. "What are you planning to do about what happened today?"Gavin froze for a moment, realizing that the whole situation had become an open secret within the family. His response was calm, though. "I don’t have any specific plans."At this, Wilfried’s expression darkened even further. "That won’t do. You’ve taken advantage of someone, so you need to take responsibility. I’ll have someone look into that girl’s background tomorrow, prepare the bride price, and we’ll go make the proposal immediately."Gavin blinked, his typically composed expression faltering slightly. After a brief silence, he replied, "Dad, I’m willing to take responsibility, but what if she doesn’t want to marry me?"Wilfried paused, momentarily caught off guard by this possibility. His gaze swept over

“Hmm, you’re right. I’ll talk to your brother and see what he thinks,” Wilfried said thoughtfully.Aveline nodded and went on her way....In the study, Gernard sat on the sofa, a mischievous grin plastered on his face. “Brother, why didn’t you let me finish? I was about to spill the best part.”Gavin ignored him and pulled out a document, handing it over. “Take a look at this. If everything’s in order, you’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow.”“What’s this?” Gernard blinked, taking the file and flipping it open. His eyes widened as he scanned the pages.He shot up from his seat, staring at Gavin in disbelief. “Wait, you’re serious? You’re actually sending me to South Africa? Do people live there? When did we even expand into that region?”Gavin, seated in his leather chair, remained cold and composed. “Recently.”Gernard’s face twisted in disbelief. After a long pause, he finally blurted out, “No way. I’m not going.”Gavin’s gaze flickered over to him, calm but stern. “You don’t hav

“What gossip?” Aveline's interest was instantly piqued, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Gernard.Gernard leaned in conspiratorially, about to spill the juicy details. “It’s about Brother. You won’t believe what happened today…”“Ahem!”Before he could finish, Gavin appeared, clearing his throat just loud enough to interrupt. He grabbed Gernard’s arm, pulling him away. “Let’s talk about the company,” he said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Gernard protested, “Brother, wait, I wasn’t finished!”Aveline, her curiosity fully ignited, took a couple of steps forward. “Hey bros, don’t leave me hanging! Finish the story first!”Without slowing down, Gavin replied, “He’s headed to South Africa soon. Work comes first.”“South Africa?” Gernard’s jaw dropped. “Wait, since when am I going to South Africa? I didn’t hear about this! What’s going on?”Aveline stopped in her tracks, equally puzzled. “South Africa? Does the Cooper family even have projects there?”Just then, Wilfried walked

"Got too much free time on your hands?" Gavin’s cold gaze fixed on Gernard.Unbothered, Gernard strolled over and patted his brother's shoulder, grinning. "So, what’s your plan now? I got a little bored and did some digging on the Quin family. Guess what? Turns out they’re Selena’s birth family. She left them ages ago to make it on her own, but the girl you were with? That’s Jolie Quin, the pampered princess of the family."With a knowing smirk, Gernard added, "Brother, I couldn’t help but notice—Jolie and Selena do look a bit alike. Could that be why you…?""Get lost," Gavin cut him off, not in the mood for Gernard’s teasing. He brushed past him, heading downstairs.Of course, that only fueled Gernard’s enthusiasm. "Hey, don’t walk away! I haven’t finished my gossip yet!" he called after him, but the conversation came to an abrupt end as they reached the main floor, where the guests were still gathered for the celebration....Aveline noticed Selena seemed a bit distracted and asked,

One of Jolie’s long, slender legs was exposed to the cool air, and Gavin’s fingers instinctively tightened, as if they could still feel the smoothness of her thigh under his grip. His gaze darkened, though his expression only grew colder. His sharp, chiseled features gave him a distant, unapproachable aura—a man who seldom smiled and whose demeanor warned others to stay away.He was cold, almost like an ice block."Debt’s owed," he said flatly, tossing out the two words before sitting on the sofa and picking up the phone to make a call.Jolie blinked in surprise, processing what he said. Debt owed?Was that something you could even keep on hold?But thinking about it, he probably didn’t need anything right now. So, if he wanted to leave the debt hanging, so be it.Stretching lazily, Jolie sat up and said, "Have someone bring me a change of clothes."With that, she pulled the blanket aside, slowly rising from the bed despite the discomfort between her legs and headed toward the bathro

As the effects of the drug finally began to fade, Jolie lay exhausted on the bed, her body drenched in sweat. Her skin, especially across her delicate shoulder blades, bore faint marks from their encounter and her breath ragged as it brushed against her own back. Her vision was hazy, and she barely had the strength to speak."I... I’m fine now... you can stop," she murmured, her voice weak and broken from the strain of what had just happened.The madness of moments before still pulsed through her, the aftershocks of it lingering in her body. She never expected that grabbing a random man for help would lead to this, nor did she expect him to have such relentless stamina.Yet, the man behind her didn’t stop. He didn’t respond either. His large hands remained firmly gripped around her slender waist as if he were trying to squeeze the very breath from her."Stop... I told you to stop, didn’t you hear me?" Jolie’s anxiety spiked as he continued. What was wrong with him? They’d agreed he was
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1039
Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.Behind him, Jolie’s soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.Gavin clenched his jaw, tugging at his tie. It had already loosened from when she’d pulled on it earlier, and with a rough yank, it came completely undone. Frustration simmered beneath his calm exterior.Where was Selena? She was supposed to be finding help, but she still hadn’t returned.His frown deepened as he reached for the door, ready to leave."Please… help me…"Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn’t used to feeling. "Please… I’ll pay you… I won’t take it for free…" Jolie’s voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bear

"Stop moving," Gavin growled in a low voice.But Jolie, completely under the control of the drugs, was acting purely on instinct, seeking out what her body craved most. She didn’t register his words at all. Instead of stopping, she slipped her hand inside his shirt, feeling the hard muscles of his chest."Mm..." Jolie let out a soft sound, whether from the satisfying feel of his muscles or because the touch of his skin intensified the drug’s effects, it wasn’t clear.Gavin's breathing became heavier. He couldn’t stay here any longer—this drugged and irrational woman could do anything at this point, and there was no telling what she’d attempt next.Quickly surveying his surroundings, Gavin spotted a quieter route. Without hesitation, he carried Jolie out through the back door, re-entering the villa through another entrance. He headed upstairs and slipped into the nearest empty room, laying her down on the bed.Just as he moved to leave, Jolie, still hazy and half-conscious, sensed his d

"Let… let me go!" Jolie struggled with all her might, but the drugs were quickly sapping her strength, leaving her powerless to break free.The man, too impatient to care, ignored her pleas and began dragging her toward the back exit."Hey! She told you to let her go. Are you deaf?" A sharp voice suddenly cut through the air.The man froze, startled, and looked up to see a girl standing not far away."Who the hell are you? This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" He snapped, not recognizing Selena, his tone turning nasty.Selena’s expression grew colder as she took in Jolie’s disheveled state. Without hesitation, she stepped forward and slapped the man hard across the face, then yanked Jolie away from him."Letting yourself fall into the hands of this scum? Where’s your fight?" Selena said sharply.Jolie’s blurry consciousness flickered at the sound of her familiar voice. When she realized it was Selena, her tensed body finally relaxed, leaning heavily into her for support."Take me
