After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 555

Chapter 555

“Do you know why Aaron found you both so quickly?” Lucas asked.

Upon hearing this, Aveline stopped in her tracks.

She slowly turned around, her face filled with disbelief. “It was you?”

Lucas smirked. “That’s right.”

He approached Aveline with a cigarette between his fingers. Seeing her face pale from shock, he gently caressed it. His tone was low and soft, like a lover’s whisper, but his words were incredibly cruel.

“Did you really think I’d let anyone who could keep you company slip away? Face it, Aveline. Selena’s trapped, and so are you. There’s no escape for either of you.”

Aveline was furious. She raised her hand to slap him, but Lucas caught her wrist effortlessly. He looked into her angry eyes.

“Aveline, things between us won’t end so easily. Have you heard the phrase ‘till death do us part“?”

Aveline was trembling with rage, her whole body shaking.

It was him! Why would he do this? How could he?

Selena was so close to leaving! She could have escaped a fate similar to Aveline’s!

They were so close, just a little bit more!

She saw Selena as her chance to escape, her hope for freedom. But Lucas had personally clipped the wings that might have carried her away.

How could he be so cruel?

At this moment, she couldn’t control her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Lucas, why are you doing this to me? Why?”

Her tears fell, seeming to sear Lucas‘ heart, burning a hole through it, searing and painful.

Her heart felt like it was thrown into a volcano, repeatedly scorched, burning with pain. Then suddenly it was plunged into a glacier, eaten away by extreme cold. The intense pain tore at her soul, leaving her in

agony.

A cold wind blew as rain began to fall, quickly soaking her. Cars sped by on the road as pedestrians grew scarce. She stood at the roadside, wishing she could die right there in the downpour.

She had tried to fight against the injustice of fate, but her strength was so small.

The icy rain enveloped her, and her vision went black as she fainted.

Lucas had been following behind her. Seeing her collapse, he rushed forward and caught her. With a grim expression, he carried her to his car, turned on the heat, and wrapped her in a blanket.

She was still shivering.

Her lips were deathly pale. Even unconscious, she mumbled, “Why… why won’t you let me go… I don’t love you anymore, Lucas. I don’t love you!”
