Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Selena was about ready to lose her cool over Margot's nonsense. Moments ago, she wished Jimmy had just shut her up for good. She leaned in, her voice a sharp whisper, "If you want to stay alive, zip it!" "Selena, you're just upset because Everett didn't choose you. Now you want to take me and my kid down with you? Think again!" Margot shot back relentlessly.

Her yelling only fueled Jimmy's rage, making him attack more fiercely. The two bodyguards, already nursing injuries, were having a hard time keeping up with his wild swings. But they held their ground, buying the women some precious time. Meanwhile, the rope holding Selena was fraying bit by bit, swinging her dangerously as gravity took its toll.

If Jimmy wasn't stopped soon, that rope wouldn't hold much longer...

Cold sweat dripped down Selena's face as she silently begged for some heavenly intervention for her and her unborn child.

But mercy didn't show up.

The rope gave way suddenly, and Selena plummeted. Everything went blank as she instinctively shielded her belly.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

Just then, Everett and the others burst into the warehouse, catching the scene unfolding.

Without a second thought, Everett dashed forward, catching Selena mid-fall in his arms.

They both hit a pile of discarded sandbags hard, rolling a few times before coming to a rest. "Mr. Everett!"

"Mrs. Bennett!"

Gasps filled the room as everyone rushed to help.

Seeing both of them knocked out, tears sprang from Derick's eyes. "Call an ambulance, quick!"

"Mr. Everett, Mrs. Bennett, you've got to be okay!"

...

Selena was trapped in that nightmare again.

Lost in a fog, she searched desperately for her baby but couldn't find them. The baby's cries tore at her heartstrings.

Despite being utterly worn out, she couldn't reach her child. Her cries faded into a hoarse whisper as background voices crept into her awareness. "If... do everything to save my wife, the child, I don't want..."

"Yes, Mr. Everett."

Selena listened, dazed.

It was Everett's voice, claiming he didn't want the child...

Just like Margot had said, he wouldn't want her child!

Even though she'd suspected this was coming, hearing it felt like a punch to the gut.

Today, the sun was shining brighter than ever.

Everett finished his cigarette outside, clearing his head before heading back to the hospital room.

The woman on the bed lay still, like a sleeping beauty.

He pulled back the curtains, letting sunlight flood the room, filling it with warmth.

"Everyone's worried about you, and I..."

Before he could finish, Selena's long, thick eyelashes fluttered, and her eyelids slowly lifted.

A spark of joy lit up Everett's eyes, but before he could say anything, her soft voice broke through. Struggling with each word, she asked, "The child? Where is the child?"
