After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 524
"If you beg me, I might agree to keep up the act," the man's clear voice rang out behind her.Aveline paused, her tone cold. "I'd rather die."He wanted her to beg him? In his dreams!Lucas chuckled softly. "So full of pride. Think about everything you've been through: a man like Darren constantly trying to kill you, Sophia scheming against you at every turn. Who else might come after you? How much longer can you endure? Dying sounds easy, but do you really have the courage to go through with it?"His words struck her heart like a hammer, breaking down her resolve. Her steps slowed, and she clenched her bag tightly. She was unwilling to give up. Otherwise, she wouldn't have contacted Lucas today. Did she really dare to die? How could she, with so many things left undone?Aveline closed her eyes, knowing that stepping back meant endless entanglement with him. He could easily walk away, but what about her? In the end, wouldn't she still be left battered and bruised? Fighting alone o

The butler noticed the servant returning alone and immediately asked, "Where is Mrs. Tudor?"The servant hesitated but eventually repeated what Aveline had said.The butler sighed heavily and glanced at the unconscious man on the sofa. Lucas' brow was furrowed, and even in his unconscious state, he kept murmuring Aveline's name."Aveline, don't go. Aveline..."But Aveline couldn't hear him....Aveline went to the supermarket, bought groceries, and started cooking at home. While preparing the fish, Russell called her. She answered, "Russ, I'm cooking. Have you had dinner? Do you want to come over and join us?"Russell smiled. "Sure, I haven't had your cooking in a while. I'd love to."Aveline said, "Then come over.""Alright," Russell replied before hanging up.About half an hour later, Russell arrived with Selena.Aveline stood at the door, smiling at Selena. Selena pouted, then suddenly ran over and hugged her. "You didn't contact me for so long. I thought you didn't want me anymor

Selena cried, tears and snot streaming down her face. Her eyes, though angry, were filled with concern for Aveline.Aveline's eyes welled up as she sniffled. "I'm sorry for making you worry."Selena grabbed a tissue, blew her nose loudly, and tossed it in the trash. "Alright, I accept your apology. Now, can you tell me what's going on?"After a pause, she forced a smile. "No matter what happens, I'm by your side this time. Even if you and Lucas have ten or eight kids, I won't say a word."Aveline's lips twitched. The serious mood was broken by her comment. Ten or eight kids? Did she think Aveline was some kind of breeding machine?Aveline took a sip of beer and briefly explained the situation."Someone's trying to harm you?" Selena's face grew tense. "Who?"Aveline shook her head. "I don't know. That's why when he proposed this plan, I hesitated. It seemed like a good idea, but now... I don't want to know anymore.""Why not?" Selena argued. "You need to find out. If playing along is th

Aveline paused, realizing she hadn’t considered that possibility before. What if the person never made a move and just continued lurking in the shadows, watching them?Russell smiled and said, "That's why this plan is flawed. The stronger your relationship with Lucas appears, and the more protection you receive, the harder it will be for the person to strike."Aveline pressed her lips together. Had Lucas deceived her again?Russell continued, "Instead of trying to provoke the person this way, it's better to observe and see if they are bothered by your relationship or targeting you specifically."Selena nodded. "I agree with Russ."Aveline asked, "But what if they're targeting me?"Russell replied, "That's easy. I'll assign someone to protect you and ensure you aren't harmed."Selena gave him a thumbs up. "Russ, you're a true hero!"Russell's lips twitched slightly, and then he added, "Since you’ve decided not to cooperate with Lucas, you need to be prepared to expose yourself to the pe

Aveline stayed silent, realizing her initial thinking had been overly simplistic.Selena continued, "It's not enough to just take away everything she values; she needs to experience the despair you felt. After all, true empathy doesn't exist. Once she's faced the brink of death, she'll understand how precious life is."Aveline blinked. "You make a good point."Selena smiled confidently. "Sometimes my brain works pretty fast."Aveline pondered for a moment. "But doing that would be illegal."Selena sighed. "Did Sophia consider the law when she did those things to you?"Aveline fell into deep silence.Russell said, "That woman really deserves a lesson."Selena's eyes lit up as she looked at Russell. "Russ, you're so handsome! Do you have a girlfriend? Being with you must feel incredibly safe!"She glanced meaningfully at Aveline.Aveline took a sip of her beer, pretending not to notice.Russell, with his gentle and handsome face, smiled faintly and gazed at Aveline. "I don't have a girlf

Aveline put her phone aside and took another sip of water before returning to the bedroom to shower and sleep.At the hospital, the lights were still on in Lucas' room. Lucas stared at the ended call on his phone, his handsome face tightening with a grim expression. A heavy, oppressive silence slowly filled the room.Suddenly, the door opened. Lucas instinctively looked over, but when he saw it was Aaron entering, he frowned and looked away."Well, you seem disappointed to see me," Aaron remarked as he walked in and sat down in a chair. He still smelled faintly of alcohol, clearly having just come from a bar.Lucas closed his eyes briefly, his face still rather pale. The whip wounds on his body had been treated, but he had lost consciousness earlier due to infection and high fever from the injuries.Aaron said, "You're already divorced Aveline, so why are you still hoping she'll come see you? From what I can tell, she'd rather stay far away from you."Lucas replied in a cold, hoarse

Aaron held Lucas back firmly. "Lucas, don't be crazy. You're still injured, and besides, you and Aveline are already divorced. Since you’ve decided to let her go, you need to move on!"Aaron truly couldn't understand why Lucas was so fixated on Aveline. In the beginning, Lucas despised her because she had witnessed his most vulnerable state - when he had lost his memory, couldn't speak, and even appeared mentally impaired. Those were the memories Lucas least wanted to revisit after regaining his senses, which led him to insist on divorcing Aveline in the first place. But now, he wanted to win her back? It was insane!The veins on Lucas' forehead bulged as he glared at Aaron furiously. "Aveline and I are not divorced. She is still my wife!"Aaron was stunned. "What... did you say?"The struggle had reopened some of Lucas' wounds, and the faint scent of blood lingered in the air. He curled his lips into a cold smile. "If I hadn’t handed her the divorce certificate, she would’ve kept p

Selena was surprised. Aveline was usually a light sleeper, but the loud knocking hadn’t woken her. Maybe it was the alcohol.Not dwelling on it further, Selena yawned as she went to check the peephole. Seeing who was outside, she narrowed her eyes. Why was he here?Just as she was pondering this, the person outside started knocking again.Selena quickly opened the door to find Aaron with his hand raised, about to knock once more. If she'd been two seconds slower, his palm might have landed on her instead."What's wrong with you, pounding on the door in the middle of the night? Are you crazy?" Selena snapped irritably.Aaron lowered his hand and glanced at her. "It's just you here?"Selena yawned. "Who else would it be?"She squinted, as if remembering something. "Oh, and Russell."Aaron had started to relax, but his brow furrowed at her words. "You're saying Russell slept here?"Selena retorted, "How’s that your business?"Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling the situation ha

After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back Chapter 1045
“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

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
