Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 440

He was giving her a chance, a way to make peace. But Selena was neither ready nor willing to accept it. Her heart had been crushed by his repeated betrayals—what was left to mend?

Everett was on the brink of madness with rage. Selena, if she wanted, could easily calm him down; she knew all the tricks that worked on him. But now, she wouldn't even bother to speak? Had she really fallen for Callum?

“Selena, I said, I want you to kiss me!”

His grip on her chin was so tight it hurt, as if her bones might crack. Selena winced, “Everett, let go... please... let go...”

Everett silenced her forcefully with his lips, leaving no room for protest. His kiss was fierce, demanding, leaving no space for refusal or resistance. It was as if he needed to prove something.

But what exactly, he couldn’t quite figure out. All he knew was that during those seven days she was gone, her image haunted him constantly. He couldn't stop thinking about her.

Initially, he planned to make her pay for her betrayal once he caught her. No one had ever dared to defy him like this. He had spoiled her too much, leading her to believe he wouldn’t really do anything.

Right up until this moment, he was still plotting how to teach her a lesson so she’d never cross him again. But now, all those plans disappeared. He thought if she would just give in, he could forgive her.

He had never stooped so low before. Yet she acted like he wasn’t there!

Everett took in her flawless makeup, her stunning dress, the lipstick shade DR999—her favorite, the one she used to rave about. She was his wife; her beauty was meant for him and him alone. The thought of her flaunting it for someone else drove him insane with jealousy.

With almost brute force, he stripped her dress off, hurting her arms in the process. The dress lay torn on the floor. Her skin, exposed to the air, trembled—whether from cold or anger, it was hard to tell.

“Everett, you're a maniac!” Selena's eyes brimmed with tears as she slapped him hard.
