Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 731

After years of this back-and-forth with Everett, Selena could read him like a book. So far, all he seemed to want was a physical connection, nothing more.

To get what he wanted, he was willing to play nice and shower her with sweet talk.

But she wasn't that naive twenty-something anymore. For her, a man's flattery was just the icing on the cake, not the cake itself.

Ignoring his comments, Selena suddenly hooked her arm around Everett's neck and pulled him in for a deep kiss.

As they pulled apart, she turned icy. "Everett, you've got one week."

"If you can't give me a decent answer in a week, I'm heading back to Riverton. After that, we're done."

Before Everett could gather his thoughts, she was already out of the car.

With a loud slam, she shut the door.

He stood there, eyes dark, watching Selena's confident stride away. Sure, he was mad, but even more so, he was intrigued.

Damn.

When did Selena get so hard to pin down?

Her attitude only fueled his determination to win her over. He wanted to see her fall for him all over again.

...

Selena soaked in a hot bath, noticing the marks on her skin, and couldn't help but curse that rogue of a man.

In bed, he was like a wild beast. If she hadn't stood her ground, who knows what might have happened.

After all that chaos, the buzz she had from the drinks was long gone.

She remembered Rhett's dislocated hand and quickly texted him. He replied fast, assuring her it was no big deal and not to worry.

She exhaled in relief.

Confronting Joy had left her pretty upset today, but after the drama with that scoundrel, her heartache had eased a bit.

She just wasn't sure what choice he would make.
