My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 97

Chapter 97: Spokesperson Incident

The kiss was gentle at first, a testing touch. Urgent yet careful, claiming the space I allowed him. My body betrayed me, leaning in before my mind could catch up, and I felt the warmth of him, the undeniable pull I had tried to hide for so long.

I closed my eyes, letting the moment hang between us—teetering on the edge of restraint and surrender. I was still in control, still cautious, but the truth was undeniable: I was drawn to him, and I had always loved him.

‎The quiet room was filled with the soft sound of wet kisses.

‎Alexander’s lips traveled down, to my chest I closed my eyes, instinctively arching my chest toward him, my hands buried in his hair.his kisses went down past my breasts, reaching the most intimate part of me.

‎I gasped softly, each breath sharp, like a fish stranded on land, struggling for air.suddenly My body trembled.

‎Alexander pulled back, wiping the moisture from his lips, ready to continue. But in that moment a sudden clarity hit me—

If i didn’t stop now... I wouldn’t be able to stop at all.

And I couldn’t afford to fall back into that place again.I suddenly pushed him away and yawned. "I’m tired. Let’s sleep."

Third person POV

‎

‎Alexander froze in place.

‎"Alicia."

‎She didn’t respond, just turned over and continued to sleep.

‎Was she playing with him?Before long, the sound of even breathing filled the space beside him.

‎Alexander: "..."

‎He lay there next to her, but sleep wouldn’t come. He felt restless, as if he were a prostitute who’d been used for free, and the person beside him was a scumbag who’d gotten dressed and turned his back without a word.

The next morning, Alicia woke up early and realized Alexander had already left for his morning workout.

She got out of bed, freshened up, and got ready quietly, already planning out her workday.

Her movements were calm, unhurried—deliberately so.

As if nothing had happened the night before.

She had just picked up her bag and was about to leave the room when the door suddenly opened.

Alexander walked in.

Their eyes met.

For a brief second, neither of them spoke.

"Morning," Alicia said casually.

"...Morning," Alexander replied, his voice quieter.

Alicia glanced at her watch and noticed the time. It was still early.

"You’re back earlier than usual?"

"Mm. I left earlier today."

"I see."

She didn’t linger on it. Slinging her bag over her shoulder, she walked past him and out of the room without another word, leaving Alexander standing there.

The truth was—he hadn’t slept at all.

That was why he had gone out so early.

...

By the time Alexander came downstairs, Alicia was already seated at the dining table, having breakfast.

She looked completely at ease.

Too at ease.

She ate calmly, even seeming to have more appetite than usual.

As though last night had never happened.

Alexander paused at the stairs, his gaze lingering on her.

Something about it felt... off.

Alicia noticed him standing there and looked up.

"Didn’t sleep well?" she asked casually.

Alexander froze for a split second.

His fingers tightened slightly.

Sleep well?

How could she ask that so naturally?

As if—

As if nothing had happened.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Alicia tilted her head slightly.

"Is something wrong?"

"No," he said after a moment, shaking his head.

But his eyes remained on her, unreadable.

The new collection from Éclat Beauty was approaching a crucial stage.

Lilian’s advertising campaign had been divided into multiple series, each released in succession and pushed onto major platforms and social media front pages.

With the recent makeup scandal still fresh in the public’s memory, both the media and online users were watching this endorsement closely.

Alicia had already instructed her team to monitor public opinion in real time and step in to guide the narrative if necessary.

At the same time, offline promotions were in full swing.

Massive LED screens in the busiest commercial districts across the city displayed Lilian’s campaign visuals. From subways to bus stops, from airports to shopping centers—Éclat Beauty’s advertisements were everywhere.

When the photos were released, they quickly sparked discussion online.
