Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 569

But Everett was always the determined type; what he wanted, he would eventually have.

“Selena, do you think it’s possible?” His forehead rested against hers, his warm breath caressing her flushed cheeks. “I want more than just your body. I want your heart.”

With those words, he pressed his hand firmly over her heart. He was infuriatingly stubborn and incredibly assertive, yet his gaze was so intense, so full of passion, that Selena’s heart skipped a beat before she could stop it.
