Divorced

Selena sighed heavily. “After I went back to work, I organized an event. Aaron, as the sponsor, sent an item for display, which I accidentally broke it. That item was worth one million dollars, and my company, fearing liability, fired me. So now I have to sell myself… but not in the way you’re thinking!” 

Listening to her, Aveline sensed a conspiracy. She asked, “Did you keep the broken item?” 

Selena replied, “No, his men took it away immediately.” 

Aveline sighed, rubbing her forehead in frustration. Any lingering doubts vanished; she was now sure that Aaron had framed Selena, 

Aveline asked, “Selena, are you still using a dummy account to interact with Aaron?” 

“Of course I am. He’s causing me trouble, so I might as well get something out of it!” 

Aveline breathed a sigh of relief. “Good. I’ll transfer the money to you now. Pay him back and get out of there as soon as possible.” 

“Got it. Thanks, darling! Love you!” Selena smothered her phone with 

kisses. 

Aveline ended the call and transferred one million dollars to Selena. Despite her suspicions that Aaron had orchestrated the whole thing, they had no evidence since he had taken it away immediately. They had no choice but to comply. 

What puzzled her was why Aaron would go to such lengths to trap 

Selena.

She pondered over it but couldn’t find an answer. 

Selena received Aveline’s transfer and immediately sought out Aaron. 

1/3 

In the desert, the wind and sand seemed to merge everything into one color. Selena was wrapped up tightly, with only her eyes visible, as she approached Aaron’s tent. She called out from outside. 

“Aaron, I’m coming in!” 

With that, she lifted the flap and walked in. 

In the next second, her eyes widened in shock.. Aaron was taking a shower! He wore only shorts, revealing lean but muscular upper body. His short hair was wet, and he was holding a towel, drying himself off. 

Selená quickly dropped the flap and stepped back outside. 

She thought, “It’s still early! What’s he doing taking a shower now? Is He crazy?” 

Inside the tent, Aaron had barely time to react before Selena stepped out. Through the gap in the tent flap, he glimpsed her slender silhouette standing outside. 

Aaron chuckled lightly but then felt the sand against his skin, and his brows furrowed. If not for Lucas‘ request, he would never have come to this godforsaken place. 

After getting dressed, he picked up a bottle of water, took a sip, and then called out, “Come in.” 

Selena re–entered, unwrapping the scarf from her head to reveal her bright, exquisite face. “Give me your account number. I’ll transfer the money right now!” 

Aaron raised an eyebrow slightly. “Weren’t you broke?” 

Selena replied, “I have money now. Is that a problem?” 

Aaron said, “That vase was worth one million dollars.” 

Selena lifted her chin defiantly. “Account number!” 

213 

Her proud demeanor seemed to say, “I have the money!” 

+15 BONUS 

Aaron’s eyes glinted briefly. “But I didn’t mention the interest. It’s been a week since the vase was broken. The interest for that period… let’s double it. The total is two million dollars. My account number is…” 

“Are you robbing me?” Selena exclaimed, her eyes wide in disbelief. ” Are you running a loan shark operation? Even loan sharks wouldn’t dare charge such interest! Doubling it in just seven days? Aaron, tell me the truth, did you set this up to mess with me?”
