After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Aveline paused, looking at Selena. "You figured it out this quickly?"

Selena's arm draped over Aveline's shoulder, her tipsy face flushed a soft pink under the flickering lights, her gaze unfocused as she stared ahead.

"When I met with the Fletchers, they made quite the impression. They left me waiting in the conservatory for two hours before they saw me. And when they finally did, they didn't even say what they wanted. They just handed me a stack of debutante photos and asked me to help pick Aaron's future wife. Can you believe it?"

Her voice wavered, and tears began to stream down her face. She wiped them away with a quick swipe of her hand. "Ave, I thought I'd never fall for Aaron. I thought I could laugh off their little power play, but I couldn't. I felt humiliated in a way I didn't expect."

She looked at Aveline, her eyes red, and continued, "They didn't say anything directly, they didn't insult me, but I still felt small... ashamed. Ave, am I in too deep?"

Aveline replied, "Yeah, you're in deep."

Selena groaned dramatically and hugged her tight. "So, what do I do now? Am I doomed to a messy love-hate cycle with Aaron? That would be such a cliché."

Aveline studied her for a long moment before saying, "Let's get you home. When you're sober, I'll tell you what to do."
