CEO Broke Down and Cried After I Divorced Him novel Chapter 26

Chapter 0026 

The truth was, deep down, Suzy felt a bit guilty 

For the past three years, she had indeed acted like a coward, barely daring to breathe in his presence, completely losing herself. 

But tonight, she was determined to reclaim the dignity that was rightfully hers. 

The next morning. 

Before Suzy even opened her eyes, she felt like she’d been hit by a truck. Her whole body ached, especially her back, which felt like it might break in half. 

Her throat was so dr 

it was as if it was caught on fire. 

Without thinking, she called out, “Allen…” 

• Allen?” 

The deep male voice beside her startled Suzy, and her eyes flew open. 

She turned toward the sound and froze at the sight of Dylan, shirtless, lying next to her. 

This had to be a dream, right? 

Yes, definitely a dream. 

There was no way the two of them could have ended up in the same bed. 

But if it was a dream, why did her body ache so badly? 

“Are you done staring?” 

Shit! It wasn’t a dream! 

She quickly glanced around. 

This was Dylan’s room! 

How did she end up here? 

As she struggled to recall, the memories flooded back–she had come here drunk. 

Suzy’s heart sank further. 

She had spent all that time avolding him, only to deliver herself straight into his hands. 

Taking a deep breath, Suzy tried to calm her emotions. 

Ignoring Dylan completely, she got up, dressed quickly, and pulled a wad of cash from her

bag, placing it on the nightstand before turning to leave. 

Her movements were smooth, practiced–like she had done this plenty of times before. As Suzy replayed the events of the night before in her mind, she realized something: she hadn’t called Dylan by his name once–not during the night, not when she woke up just 

now. 

She’d called someone else…. 

Dylan’s eyes darkened instantly, his voice cold as he called out, “What do you think you’re doing?” 

Suzy glanced back at him. “What? Is it too little? 

Pressing her lips fogether, she pulled out a few more bills and tossed them onto the bed. ” Is that enough? 

Suzy, do you even know what you’re doing?” 

A small laugh escaped her. “Mr. Wright, while your status may be impressive, I have to be honest–your skills… 

“Let’s just say this much is generous, considering we were married. It’s far above market 

rate.” 

In truth, she had no idea if anything had really happened between them last night. 

But based on the soreness in her body 

Suzy was puzzled. 

it seemed highly likely… 

He’d always been too proud to touch her before, so why now? 

“Market rate?” Dylan sat up, lighting a cigarette, the smoke curling around his sharp features. “You seem to know a lot about this market.” 

“Afraid I’m cheating you?” Suzy smiled faintly. “With skills like yours, you’d be lucky to get fifty dollars a night.” 

” 

It was the first time he’d seen her throw insults so smoothly, without a single curse word. 

“So, by your logic, I owe you a few more nights for what you’ve paid me?” 

Snuffing out his cigarette, Dylan threw back the covers and got out of bed.
