Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena just couldn't match his audacity. His bold words rolled off his tongue like it was second nature. She turned her face away, denying his insinuations with a huff. "It's just a normal reaction, don't get too full of yourself!"

Seeing her stubborn defiance only fueled Everett's competitive streak. He couldn't believe she felt nothing for him now, especially when he remembered how she used to cling to him, and her head nuzzled against him like a kitten seeking affection. "Mrs. Bennett, you'll want it..." he declared with conviction.

Selena, unable to hold back any longer, snapped back, "Everett, where do you get the nerve to say such things? Is it all about your own pleasure?"

Three years into their marriage, Selena couldn't deny she had enjoyed their intimate moments, but more often than not, she found herself just going along with it. He was hardly ever home, disappearing for days, sometimes weeks.

When he was around, it was always straight to business, all about satisfying his own desires, with little regard for her feelings.

There were only a handful of times she remembered him being gentle, usually when he'd achieved something at work or was in a particularly good mood for sex.

But those moments were rare.

Her words caught Everett off guard. He had always thought their married life was perfectly in sync, so her earlier criticisms had wounded his pride.

His dark eyes narrowed as he tried to detect any hint of mockery in her expression, but Selena's gaze was steady and sincere.

Everett's lips pressed into a tight, determined line.

He had always been a high achiever, acing exams and winning awards. Before taking over Bennett Corporation, he effortlessly launched an investment firm that quickly made waves on Wall Street and caught the eye of major international companies. Someone like him, who excelled in everything, couldn't bear the idea of failing, especially not in his marriage. No man would want to be doubted.

"Mrs. Bennett, don't worry. This time, I'll make sure you enjoy it."

Everett enunciated each word with clarity.

"You..."

Gradually, her strength ebbed away, and her once tense leg now hung limply, surrendering to him.

Time seemed to blur, and suddenly fireworks exploded behind Selena's eyes, waves of dizziness washing over her, making her lift a hand to shield her eyes.

Her hair was damp with sweat, her chest heaving, and her lips slightly parted.
