Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 746

Everett set Haley down and, with a few swift strides, was right in front of Selena. He grabbed her slender wrist and practically dragged her back upstairs into the bedroom.

With a loud bang, he slammed the door shut and tossed her onto the bed. In an instant, his tall frame hovered over her delicate figure, exuding a menacing and intimidating presence.

Selena knew resisting his brute force was pointless, so she didn't even bother trying. Her eyes, however, remained icy cold, as if she was looking at someone who didn’t matter.

“What are you doing here, Mr. Everett?” she asked, her voice detached.

Her words only fueled Everett’s anger. His long fingers clamped onto Selena’s chin as he demanded, “Weren’t you the one who wanted me here? Selena, if you’re gonna play games, be ready to deal with the fallout. Aren’t you worried about where this could lead?”

At first, Selena didn’t get what he was on about, but it quickly clicked. This self-absorbed man thought she had returned to Newport with her kids because she still had feelings for him. That she had Rhett over just to get under his skin.

Selena always knew how ridiculously confident he was, but this took the cake. It was so absurd, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“Everett, could you be any more full of yourself? I came back to Newport for my own reasons, and trust me, they have zilch to do with you. Stop flattering yourself!”

Everett didn’t buy it for a second. He figured she was just upset about his upcoming engagement and was acting out. Still, Rhett’s presence did make him feel a bit uneasy. Not because he thought Rhett could actually win Selena over, but because he couldn't stand any man being close to her.

If she played with fire, who knows what could happen? That was a risk he wasn’t willing to take. Selena was his, and only his.
