Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 694

The sky was getting darker, casting a shadow over the already challenging search and rescue efforts. With each passing moment, hope seemed to slip further away. Selena had been through a harrowing ordeal, kidnapped for a whole day and night, and she was completely drained.

Blaine tried to coax her back home, reminding her that her kids were waiting, that there was nothing she could do here. Even Alex, unable to watch her suffer any longer, urged her to go, promising to keep her updated.

Everett had plunged into the sea to save her, his fate hanging by a thread. No matter their history—love and heartbreak tangled together—she couldn't abandon him now.

Alex was about to protest when Blaine, without warning, delivered a swift chop to Selena's neck, catching her as she slumped into his arms.
