Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 759

She had no clue how captivating she looked in that dress.

Everett felt like his mind was spinning, matching the dizzying shade of green she wore.

He got more intense, and with their power imbalance, Selena couldn't stand up to him. She found herself backing down, overwhelmed by his commanding presence.

"Everett, stop!"

Even though she couldn't shove him away, Selena held her ground. Her heart just wouldn't give in.

Everett's eyes were dark and intense as he caught his breath, tilting his head slightly to meet her gaze.

Her face was flushed, her breath came in quick, shallow gasps. The gentle rise and fall of her chest, the soft pink hue on her pale skin, all gave away that she was feeling it too.

Everett nibbled on Selena's ear, his voice thick with desire. "Selena, I can't believe you've really moved on from me."

"We have something special. You feel it too, so why fight it?"

Tears blurred Selena's vision, making the handsome face above her swim in and out of focus.

If all she wanted was just the thrill of physical closeness, he'd be the perfect choice.

He seemed unable to truly connect with her on a deeper level.

In that moment, she longed for the Everett from before the surgery.

She stopped resisting, lying quietly, obediently, as tears fell like scattered pearls.

Everett suddenly froze.

He was caught up in the moment, but her streaming tears put out all his fire.

Frustrated beyond words, he stared down at her. "Selena, you're really my kryptonite!"

Even with their fading feelings, he couldn’t stand to see her cry.

"Stop crying!"
