After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 353
Damn it!She had to run!Aveline couldn't afford to hesitate any longer and took off running!There was another convenience store open not far ahead; she could rush in and call the police there!Just then, two girls rounded the corner ahead.Aveline's eyes lit up, and she immediately ran over to link arms with them, smiling brightly. "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you so long."The two girls looked at her in surprise. "You..."Aveline quickly winked at them and whispered, "Someone is following me. Can you help me, please?"The girls' expressions turned tense.One girl said, "Why were you dawdling? We had to do our makeup before leaving!"The other girl added, "Let's go to that food street; there are lots of delicious food there."Aveline nodded eagerly. "Sure, sounds great."They chatted like friends as they walked.At the corner, Aveline glanced back and saw that the man hadn't followed.She breathed a huge sigh of relief."Thank you so much," she said to the girls.One o

The two girls looked at the man, and with a wave of his hand, they began leading Aveline down a narrow path.At the end of the path was a parked van. Once Aveline was inside, she would have no chance of escape.She didn't struggle along the way, her heart filled with unbearable sorrow, tears streaming down like broken pearls.It wasn't until she saw the van that her eyelashes fluttered.Suddenly, she tightened her grip and dug her nails into the arms of the two girls."Ah!"The two girls screamed in pain and instinctively let go of Aveline.Deep scratches appeared where Aveline had clawed them.Seizing the moment, Aveline turned and ran!She had to run!She couldn't resign herself to this fate!"Damn it, get her!"Behind her, the man cursed.With his prey slipping away, his anger surged more than anyone's.Fear and the will to survive gave Aveline immense strength, and for a moment, they couldn't catch up to her!She gritted her teeth, feeling the pain in her chest from the exertion.I

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.Aveline stood there with a face mask on, her eyes devoid of any warmth as she looked at them."What are you doing?"The locksmith hesitated and instinctively looked at Lucas.Lucas stared at her, his voice hoarse, "Aveline, I didn't know you were in danger. I...""Do you need something?" Aveline coldly interrupted him.Lucas pressed his lips into a tight line, the feeling in his chest growing more intense.He said, "Let me in, we need to talk."Aveline replied, "I'm tired and want to sleep."But Lucas grabbed the door, not allowing her to close it.Aveline looked at him and suddenly asked, "Lucas, if I hadn't been saved today, if I had been taken, would you regret it?"Lucas replied, "That wouldn't happen. I would find you."Aveline persisted, "Would you regret it?"She was fixated on this answer.But she knew it was meaningless.Upon learning that he had left her in danger to see Sophia, her heart had already died.Completely dead.Lucas, tryi

Lucas tightened his hold on her abruptly, as if he wanted to merge her into his very bones."Impossible."His voice grew more hoarse as he clung to her, "Aveline, I won't divorce you."Aveline closed her eyes briefly. "Then let Bobby go."This time, Lucas didn't move or speak.After nearly a minute of silence, he released her and cupped her face, saying, "Aveline, I'll make it up to you. I'll give you anything you want, but I can't do those two things."Aveline let out a cold laugh. "You're so hypocritical. You say you'll give me anything, yet you refuse the conditions I set."Lucas pressed his lips together, not reacting to her accusations and mockery.He gazed at her tear-streaked face, gently wiping away her tears, and said softly, "Aveline, you can ask for anything else."Aveline pushed his hand away. "I'm not interested in anything else."Looking at her now indifferent face, her lips swollen from his kiss, adding an air of intimacy, her expression remained icy.It was as if she ha

Aveline's expression grew cold as she tried to slip out of his embrace, but the next second, Lucas tightened his grip on her waist and pulled her back.Her back was pressed against Lucas' warm chest, his hot breath brushing her ear."Why are you getting up so early?"In the morning, his voice was huskier, and everything about him seemed more awake.Aveline felt his arousal, and her body tensed, fearing he might lose control in the morning."I'm hungry," she said flatly.Lucas held her tightly, his heat pressing against her as if he wanted to melt her."So am I," his voice was even more husky.Aveline blinked, a thought crossing her mind.Was his refusal to divorce her because he was still interested in her body?Would their relationship end when he lost that interest?For some reason, she felt a deep sadness.She said, "Lucas, I don't want to."His kisses lingered on her shoulder, his hands playing with her tender skin.Feeling her tremble, he tightened his grip. "Are you sure you don'

Aveline looked at him. "Do you know what I was thinking last night when that man was chasing me and those two girls had tricked me?"Lucas froze, his lips pressing into a tight line.Aveline let out a bitter laugh. "I was thinking, I clearly told you I was in danger, so why didn't you come? We've been married for so long, and you still have memories of Lu, so why didn't you come? If it were Lu, he wouldn't have stayed away. He wouldn't have been so rough and told me to get out of the car."As she spoke, large tears began to fall, and the fear from the previous night surged up.Her eyes were completely soaked with tears."Lucas, tell me, why? Why, when I told you I was in danger, didn't you come?"Lucas' breath tightened as he held her, his voice hoarse, "I'm sorry, Aveline."It was all he could say.When he received her call, he immediately set out to find her, but then he thought, if she was willing to lower herself for Bobby's sake, was her plea for help a deliberate ploy?A ploy to

Aveline stared at him intently, "Mr. Zane isn't like that."Lucas chuckled lightly. "Want to bet?"Aveline tightened her grip on the fork and nodded, "Alright, what's the bet?"Lucas said, "If he accepts my compensation and willingly leaves Cloudflare City, you can't bring up divorce again."Aveline gritted her teeth and nodded. "Fine. But if he doesn't, we divorce, and you release Bobby."Lucas replied calmly, "Aveline, that's two conditions."Aveline hesitated and then said, "Release Bobby."Lucas stared at her deeply. "Alright."Aveline believed that Zane would never abandon his son for money. He had always said Bobby was his only child.After breakfast, Lucas left immediately.Aveline contacted a realtor to start looking for an apartment.The realtor was efficient and quickly found a few options, which Aveline went to see.She settled on a small two-bedroom apartment and rented it for a quarter.By the time everything was arranged, it was already afternoon.Aveline called Zane."Mr

Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang.Given his previous experiences of being turned away, Zane didn't immediately open the door. Instead, he looked through the peephole.Outside stood two men in suits.On the phone, his wife, Lily, was still speaking hesitantly, clearly frightened.The doorbell rang again, making Zane jump. He said, "Don't do anything; I have something to deal with here."He hung up and then opened the door."Who are you?"One of the men in suits extended his hand with a smile. "Hello, Mr. Looney. I'm Desmond, the executive assistant of the CEO of DK Group. This is lawyer Charles Dean. We have something we need to discuss with you. Is this a convenient time?"Zane looked at them warily. They weren't the landlords here to evict him, so what did they want?Zane stepped aside. "Come in."Desmond nodded slightly and entered the house with Charles.Seated on the sofa, Charles placed two documents on the coffee table.Zane asked, "What are these?"Desmond smiled

“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
After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1042
"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

Jolie watched Selena’s retreating figure and shook her head in frustration. What could she do? Selena’s emotional wounds ran deep, and no matter what Jolie tried, it seemed impossible to bridge the gap between them.Returning to the party, she glanced around at the crowd of men and women mingling with champagne flutes in hand, but her mind wasn’t on the event. She casually picked up a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and sipped it slowly.What she didn’t notice was a man standing across the room, watching her. As she drank, his eyes darkened, and he licked his lips suggestively.After finishing about half the glass, Jolie started feeling strange. Her body was growing weak, her skin hot and feverish, and a strange itchiness spread through her veins.Her brows furrowed in confusion. What was happening? She headed toward the restroom, but as she rounded a corner, her legs gave out, and she had to grab the wall for support to keep from collapsing."Did someone drug me?" she murmu

Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I’ve got some happy news to share as well."Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?"Maria nodded. "That’s right."Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen."Maria smiled. "I couldn’t fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even become childhood sweethearts.She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren’t you eager at first too? Why haven’t you made any moves yet?"Selena sighed. "I’m not sure. Honestly, I’m a little scared."Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush."Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for some fresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn’t be a good m
