Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 She’s Not Interested in You

And that sharp nose, those sexy lips–they drew her attention in a way that made her want to reach out and touch them.

But wait. Why is Sebastian right in front of my face?

Riley jolted awake, remembering what had happened last night.

She’d let Sebastian stay in her room overnight. But he’d been in bed last night. So why was he sleeping next to the couch now?

She sat up quickly, and the movement woke him. His eyes opened slowly, still drowsy from sleep.

“Morning, Riley,” Sebastian said quietly.

“Morning…” She stared at him. “But why are you sleeping here? Shouldn’t you be in bed?”

“Because I can only sleep well when I’m close to you,”

Sebastian said. “You were on the couch, so obviously I slept next to you.”

“But you fell asleep in bed last night.”

Riley didn’t know what to say to that.

The doorbell rang.

She quickly pulled her hand back. “I’ll get it.”

She hurried to the door and opened it.

Vince stood outside. “I thought you’d be ready by now. Was gonna see if you wanted to grab breakfast downstairs together.”

“Give me a sec. I’ll be quick,” Riley said.

“Hope you don’t mind one more person joining,” Sebastian said, walking up behind her.

When Vince saw Sebastian standing behind Riley in pajamas, his face went dark.

The scene pretty much said it all. Sebastian had spent the night in this room.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Vince pushed past Riley and grabbed Sebastian by the collar.

“Why wouldn’t I be here? The person who actually owns this

room hasn’t asked me that, so when did you get the right to?” Sebastian shot back without missing a beat. 2/5

right there, he would’ve already thrown a punch.

“Vince, let him go. There’s a reason he stayed over,” Riley said.

Vince reluctantly dropped his hands.

Once Riley headed to the bathroom to wash up, Sebastian and Vince stood there glaring at each other.

“Don’t think you can get back together with her just because you weaseled your way into staying in her room.” Vince said. “If she chose to break up with you, she’s not coming back. Jusi like what happened with Bryce.”

Sebastian’s eyes flickered.

Maybe he was being underhanded, using his insomnia to make her feel sorry for him, playing on the fact that she didn’t like owing him anything, getting her to “repay” him this way. But if he didn’t do this, she’d never let him get close to her again.

“I’m not Bryce. I’ve only ever loved Riley, from the start. And she let me stay in her room because she still has feelings for me,” Sebastian said.

Vince let out a harsh laugh. “I don’t know why you ended up in her room, but I know nothing happened between you two. Which means she’s not interested in you anymore.”

He knew Riley’s self–control was way stronger than most

women’s.

Back when he could seduce her with his looks and body, it was only because she’d wanted to be seduced.

But once she really shut him out, no amount of temptation would work on her.

Like that time he’d deliberately drunk the drugged wine and practically begged her in front of her, and she’d just knocked him out cold and sent him to the hospital.

“Even if she’s not interested in me, it doesn’t mean she’s interested in you,” Sebastian said, his voice cold.

“Who knows what’ll happen in the future? But this time, Sebastian, I’m not letting Riley slip away again.” Vince said it

like a vow.

The air in the room felt suffocating.

In the private room at the club, Zane had his people send off the casino executives, then loosened his tie and leaned back with a tired look on his face.

“Did the deal go well?” Cynthia walked over and wrapped her 4/5 arms around his neck, her voice playful.

shouldn’t be a problem.”

“You’re so impressive, you know that? I knew I picked the right guy,” Cynthia smiled as she looked at his face, and she couldn’t help the desire rising in her chest.

If she could actually land him, then maybe–just maybe–she could get her hands on the Lincoln family fortune too.

“Once we’re back, Uncle Benedict will think even more highly of you. These past three years, he’s really started treating you like his son,” Cynthia said.

The “Uncle Benedict” she mentioned was Zane’s father in name

-Benedict Lincoln, the current head of the Lincoln family.

“So what?” Zane said flatly.

“You’re telling me you’re not tempted by the Lincoln family? They’ve got this massive empire, and Uncle Benedict never married. Now he’s acknowledged you as his son.” Cynthia said, trying to tempt him. “So if you can get on his good side even more, you might actually inherit everything.”
