Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 610

Selena wasn't having any of it. She knew exactly what to expect from him—nothing good. His dark eyes locked onto her fair, delicate face, giving her no escape from his suggestive words that oozed through the phone, each word a slow tease.

"Selena, I miss you so much I can't sleep..."

"I want to kiss you, touch you, be with you completely."

"Remember that night? You were on my lap, your face all flushed, urging me on. Do you know how beautiful you looked..."

In the stillness of the night, his husky voice was like a thousand feathers tickling her heart. It sent shivers down her spine.

Even though nothing was happening, Selena felt like everything had. She felt... tainted.

With a sharp click, she hung up and flung the phone away. Her heart pounded as her face turned a shade of crimson.

Meanwhile, on the other end, seeing the phone screen go dark, a small smile played on his lips. She was still as easy to fluster as ever.

But then... Everett glanced down, noticing his predicament. His pants were uncomfortably tight. He chuckled, loosening his tie. What started as a playful tease to blow off some steam had backfired.

He lit a cigarette, taking a drag as he gazed out at the city from his window. The bustling cityscape was stunning, perhaps even more so than Newport's, yet it felt empty without her by his side. He missed her more than he'd realized.
