After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back

Gavin said nothing and simply hung up the phone, his expression darkening by the second.

Behind him, Jolie's soft, pained whimpers filled the air. She was writhing on the bed, her delicate skin flushed a faint pink.

Her desperate voice, laced with a hint of a sob, echoed from behind him. The softness of it hit him like a lit match to his chest, sparking a heat he wasn't used to feeling.

"Please... I'll pay you... I won't take it for free..." Jolie's voice broke as tears streamed down her face. She was sobbing now, her words dripping with helplessness and shame, as if offering him money would somehow make her request more bearable. Gavin stood frozen for a moment, then unexpectedly, a small smile tugged at the corner of his lips. Was she seriously offering to pay him?
