After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline eyed him warily, his dark, piercing gaze fixed on her as if she were already his prey.

Memories of past traumas resurfaced, and she bit her lip, suddenly raising the kitchen knife to her own throat.

In an instant, he lunged forward, snatching the knife from her grasp before she could react. The knife clattered to the floor.
