After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Desmond immediately received Maria's message.

All of them had a special distress program written by Maria on their phones-one press, and their location would be synced instantly.

At that moment, Desmond was at the airport.

He frowned as he read the distress message.

Maria was in trouble!

But he had to fly abroad right away-Lucas had just assigned him a task that needed to be completed as soon as possible!

After a brief moment of thought, something came to him, and he dialed a number.

"Hello?" A clear, pleasant male voice answered.

Desmond said, "Hello, Mr. Troy, I'm Mr. Tudor's assistant, Desmond Blake. We've met before."

Sidney briefly recalled and quickly remembered him, then asked curiously, "Mr. Blake, what can I do for you?"Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Desmond responded, "I'm sending you a location. You need to go there and find Maria. Something has happened to her. I'm too far away to make it."

Sidney frowned. "What happened to her?"

Desmond replied, "I don't know. Just go quickly."

After saying that, he hung up and sent the location to Sidney.

He didn't even question whether Sidney would actually go.

After all, Maria and Sidney had both attended Lucas and Aveline's engagement event together before. He suspected their relationship wasn't simple.

The boarding announcement rang, and Desmond pocketed his phone, heading towards the security checkpoint.

Sidney stared at the moving location on his screen, not making any moves.

If something had really happened to Maria, as the second-largest shareholder of the studio, he would inherit it entirely. With no restrictions, he could finally spread his wings. The dim glow of the computer screen cast shadows across his chiseled features, his eyes as dark and deep as obsidian.

...

By the time the car stopped, Maria was already drained of energy.

Two men were dragging her into the hotel, her vision blurred, and she couldn't help but think to herself, "Desmond, that unreliable fool... it's been so long, and he still hasn't shown up... When I get through this, I'll definitely report him to the boss! He's getting his bonus docked!"

The carpet in the hotel corridor absorbed sound well, and their footsteps made no noise. The sound of a card swiping echoed, and a door opened.

Maria was thrown onto a soft, luxurious bed.

Her consciousness was on the verge of collapsing.

The two men exchanged a glance before turning to leave.

Her body burned with the

intensifying sensation inside her, and she twisted in discomfort, desperately craving

something-anything-to ease the torment. Her mouth was parched, and her body felt as though it was engulfed in flames.

She had no idea how much time had passed when she heard footsteps.

A man entered, and upon seeing the enchanting figure on the bed, his eyes lit up.

"That little girl wasn't lying to me. She really is a beauty!"

The man grew excited, approaching the bed while starting to undress.

"Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll take good care of you!"

Maria felt someone getting closer. She forced her eyes open but could only make out a blur of light and shadow. However, the voice was unfamiliar-an oily, disgusting voice of an older man.

"Damn it..."

Someone was using this kind of trick against her.

A hand crawled up her thigh, and she immediately felt nauseous, like slimy insects were crawling over her skin.

"Don't touch me, or else..." Maria said through gritted teeth.

"Or else what?" the man sneered as

his hand continued to slide up her thigh, his gaze fixed lustfully on her chest. "Sweetheart, you look so uncomfortable. I'm just being nice, helping you out. Don't bite the hand that feeds you!"
