30 Days Till I Divorce My Husband

Chapter 70

Estrella, having tossed her coat onto the sofa, sauntered over to the man with one hand playfully tugging at the sash of his robe and the other resting on his shoulder. She leaned in close, her breath tickling his ear, “Richie, you know if I take care of you just right, I might just have to charge you extra.”

The seductive tone of her voice brought a smile to the man’s lips, “Damn, I knew you were just as bad as me. Alright, if you can keep me entertained, I might just set you up with your own law firm.”

Her eyebrows arched suggestively as she gently pulled him to his feet by his robe’s sash, “Shall we head upstairs then?”

The prospect of heading upstairs had Richie beaming, his eyes glinting with delight. It seemed to him that the three hundred million-plus he’d forked over to Jo wasn’t a loss but a divine setup for a steamy affair.

With a definitive click, Estrella shut and locked the door behind them, then turned to Richie with a facade of sweetness, “Just a heads up, Richie, I can play rough. Hope you can.

handle it.”

“Handle it? Of course,” Richie chuckled, nearly bursting with anticipation.

Estrella approached, hands on his shoulders, and then her expression turned icy. She swiftly drove her knee up into his groin.

In the next instant, Richie’s face turned a shade of green. Before he could even yelp, Estrella had thrown him over her shoulder and onto the ground with a resounding thud.

Estrella had been enrolled in taekwondo classes by Autumn since she was four years old. By the age of twenty-three, Autumn had bailed her out of more brawls than she could count. So, of course, she wasn’t going to shy away from a fight.
