Divorced 7
Slap!
Aveline struck Lucas across the face.
"I have no dignity? You're the scumbag cheating during our marriage, and that's dignified?"
Lucas's eyes widened in shock. He never expected her to dare hit him! Raised in luxury, when had anyone ever treated him like this?
Pressing his tongue against his cheek, he grabbed Aveline's wrist and pinned her to the bed.
"Aveline, have I spoiled you too much?"
His eyes were cold and his presence oppressive, bearing down heavily on her.
Aveline was stunned, a flash of fear passing through her heart.
How had she forgotten? He was part of the Tudor family, raised in privilege, with an unparalleled status!
He had probably never been treated this way and would undoubtedly be furious.
However, he was also her husband! He was cheating, and yet he had the nerve to act righteous?
Aveline tried to ignore her fear, her eyes red but defiant as she looked at him. "As Lu, you might have spoiled me, but as Lucas Tudor, what have you ever done for me? Don't you find it laughable to say that?" Lucas's dark eyes held a cold fury.
"Aveline, I feel bored seeing you now."
He released her, stood up, looked down at her with disdain, and turned to leave.
Aveline's chest heaved with anger. Bored?
Ha!
Last night, he was entangled with her in this very bed, and today he said he was bored of her?
Was it because he saw that girl?
Resentment grew in her heart. Aveline got up and rushed over, hugging him tightly. "Lucas, you can't leave! We aren't divorced yet. You have to stay with me!"
"Stay to watch you go crazy?" Lucas scoffed coldly.
They had been married for half a year, and Aveline knew how to provoke him. Her soft hand slipped under his shirt, caressing his defined abs.
Lucas's breath hitched as he grabbed her wrist. "What are you doing?"
Aveline stepped closer to him. "Didn't you say you're bored of me? Lucas, your words should match your actions."
Seeing his dark expression, Aveline curved her lips into a provocative smile. "What's the matter? Trying to stay pure for that other woman? But we aren't divorced yet. You have obligations to fulfill."
She leaned in closer. "If it's really a problem, I can pay you. After all, your stamina is pretty good. You've kept me quite satisfied these past six months."
What did this damned woman take him for?!
Anger flared within him. He grabbed her throat, his voice icy. "Aveline, I'll show you the consequences of provoking me!"
He kissed her fiercely, nothing like the tenderness from before.
Aveline closed her eyes, her lashes trembling violently as she clung to him.
Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.
She did this only to find traces of the man he used to be.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
He was Lucas Tudor, but he was also her Lu!
She indeed learned the consequences, as she only got three hours of sleep that night. In their passion, she clung to him tightly, repeatedly calling his name. “Lu, Lu, you are mine. I would rather die than divorce you."
The next day.
Aveline was late and immediately had her salary docked. The HR department said it was a direct order from Lucas.
Aveline gritted her teeth, thinking to herself, "What a petty scumbag!"
All because she slapped him?
He was quick to retaliate!
She had been naive. After the morning meeting, Desmond walked over to her and said, "This report requires an on-site investigation. You go handle it." Aveline glanced at the report and saw it was for a construction site!
Her brow furrowed.
Desmond asked, "Do you have any questions about Mr. Tudor's arrangement?"
