Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 278

The warehouse felt like an endless void. Everett's words echoed in Selena's mind, each one piercing her like a dagger. How could she have been so naive, so blind? She had foolishly hoped she held a special place in Everett's heart. But no, his heart belonged to Margot, and he didn’t care a bit about the child she was carrying.

Margot, meanwhile, was over the moon, happy tears streaming down her face. "Everett, I knew you cared about me and the baby..."

Jimmy shook his head, almost in disbelief. "Well, Mr. Everett sure is cold-hearted when it comes to Mrs. Bennett. He only thinks about his lover."

"Alright then, since Mr. Everett made his choice, Mrs. Bennett’s mine now!" Jimmy tossed his phone aside and grabbed the knife again, pulling Selena closer. He brushed her pale face with his hand. "Looks like fate wants us to be together! Don’t worry, I’ll treat you right. We’ll be the perfect couple all the way to the afterlife!"

Jimmy went berserk, slicing through the rope above Selena's head. Once it snapped, she'd plummet down. With the phone lying face down on the floor, Selena couldn't see Everett's expression anymore. If today was the day she and her baby died, she vowed to come back as a ghost and make Everett and Margot pay. Why should she bear the brunt of their so-called love?

As the rope frayed, Selena's body began to sway. She kept her eyes up, refusing to look down. Guilt gnawed at her heart for not protecting her baby, who had already endured so much in just a month. If there was another life, she hoped her child wouldn’t choose her again.

Would the fall hurt? Would her uncle and Ricky recognize her if she was beyond recognition? How devastated would they be? What about her grandmother? After losing Selena’s parents, could she bear another loss?
