After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

GET IT

"Mr. Fletcher, here's your water," Selena said, handing him the c without looking at him. Aaron took the cup, sipping it slowly. "Do you really want to murd me right now?"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Selena forced a smile. "Mr. Fletcher, you're joking. Committing murder is against the law."

Aaron chuckled lightly. "So, if it weren't illegal, you'd murder me?"

Selena smiled at him, and Aaron couldn't help but feel a shiver run down his spine.

He stood up and started walking toward the woods. After a couple steps, he noticed Selena still standing there and asked, "What are yo waiting for?"

Selena asked incredulously, "Do you need me to follow you to pee?"

The veins on Aaron's forehead bulged. "Follow me!"

Selena's expression changed as she looked at him like he was a pervert even taking a step back. "I refuse."

Aaron laughed at her reaction. "I'm not going to the bathroom."

Selena eyed him suspiciously. "Then why are you heading into the woods?"

Aaron fell silent.

Why did everything she said have an underlying meaning?

He glared at her. "Are you coming or not?"

Selena didn't know what he was planning, but she sensed that not complying would make her life difficult. He might wake her in the dead of night to cook pasta, only to watch her eat every bite.

Was that something a normal person would do?

Selena reluctantly followed him, pursing her lips. "Where are we going?"

Aaron replied, "I'm in a bad mood, so I'm going to dig a hole."

Selena asked, "Are you going to bury yourself? Mr. Fletcher, that's

quite the decision. Do you also realize that your existence wastes air and pollutes the land?"

Aaron was speechless.

He raised a hand to massage his temples.

Selena, thinking he was about to hit her, instinctively stepped back several paces. "What are you doing?"

Aaron looked at her with an intense gaze.

Selena blinked. "I thought you were going to hit me."

Aaron scoffed. "I don't have a habit of hitting women."

"Good to know," Selena replied, stepping back to his side and pointing to an empty patch of ground ahead.

Aaron gave her a puzzled look. "What do you mean?"

Selena's eyes sparkled. "I think that spot over there is perfect for digging a hole."

Aaron said nothing, simply staring at her with that intense gaze, which made her feel a chill run down her spine. She wisely kept quiet after that.

After a long, silent stare, Aaron finally looked away and started walking in a specific direction, heading deeper into the woods.

Selena followed him, swatting away mosquitoes and glaring at his back as if she could bore a hole through it.

15 GAPS

She didn't understand why he had dragged her out here. Was he afraid the mosquitoes would go hungry?

"Found it." Aaron's voice broke the silence. He stepped forward,

pulling up a few tufts of grass.

Selena eyed him suspiciously. "What's that?"

Aaron cast her a cool glance without answering and began to walk back the way they had come.

Selena frowned but didn't press the issue. As they walked, she suddenly stepped on a rock and slipped, falling toward Aaron.

At that moment, there was a sharp sound, like something cutting through the air. The next second, Selena felt a numbness in her shoulder, followed by intense pain.

She let out a muffled groan and fell onto Aaron's back.
