After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

"Hmm..." Selena winced slightly from the grip on her cheek and gave Aaron's hand a playful swat. "I haven't even said anything yet, why are you in such a rush?"

Aaron's gaze remained fixed on her, intense. "You might as well say something. It's better than saying nothing at all."

Aaron's expression darkened, but he let go of her chin, leaning back with a sigh. He closed his eyes for a moment, the weight of the situation heavy on his shoulders. "If you regret it, I can understand. So, what do you plan to do next?"

The defeated tone in his voice, as if he'd already resigned himself to the idea that she might leave, wiped away any desire Selena had to tease him further.

She grabbed his hand, her voice softening. "Stop overthinking. The Fletcher family isn't going to let you go easily, and they definitely won't stop coming after me. But instead of waiting for them to come for us, why don't we strike first? If you take firm control of Fletcher Corp, they won't be able to threaten you anymore."

Aaron's grip on her hand tightened suddenly, his eyes lighting up with a renewed sense of purpose, the fire in him reignited as he stared at her.
