Celine was furious. A dull pain began to creep through her lower abdomen again.
She gave herself an injection and was about to lie down to rest when a melodic ringtone suddenly filled the room.
She was getting a call. It was from her best friend, Robin.
Celine pressed the answer button. "Hello, Robin."
Robin's voice came through immediately, laced with panic. "Celine, something's wrong over here."
Celine's heart tightened. "Robin, what happened?"
"Celine, I just got home from work, but a group of people suddenly broke into my apartment. I was so scared, I locked myself in my room."
"What? Who are these people? Robin, did you call the police?"
"I already did, but they're tearing the place apart, saying something about how anyone who crosses Mr. Alvarez won't end well."
Adam?
Celine gripped her phone so tightly that her knuckles turned white.
Adam had just gone after Perry, and now he was coming after her best friend, Robin?
He knew how much she cared about the people around her, and now he was using them to force her hand.
"Celine, what exactly happened between you and Mr. Alvarez? These people keep saying Mercity belongs to him and that we'd better behave…"
Celine quickly said, "Robin, I'm coming over right—"
Before she could finish, Robin let out a sharp scream. "Ah!"
Celine's face paled. She clutched her phone tighter and shouted, "Robin, what's happening? Robin!"
All she could hear was chaos on the other end of the line. Then, the line was cut off.
A chill spread through Celine's heart. Something had definitely happened to Robin.
Celine jumped out of bed, threw on some clothes, and rushed to the door. She stormed straight to Adam's apartment and jabbed at the doorbell repeatedly.
Celine's eyes darkened. "You know about this?"
"Of course I do." Carly smiled sweetly. "Adam already warned you. If you refuse to treat my heart condition, he'll take the next step. Every single friend you have will suffer because of you."
Celine clenched her fists.
Carly took a step forward, her smile widening. "See, Celine? You've already lost to me. What do you have left to fight with me?"
Celine had already lost all hope in Adam. She shot Carly a cold look before turning and walking away.
Carly watched Celine's figure disappear down the hall, then smirked and pulled out her phone to make a call. "Hello, Mom. Everything is going smoothly. Move on to the next step."
Lucy's voice came through the receiver. "Don't worry, sweetheart. I'll make sure they take care of the baby in Celine's belly. After that, you'll have nothing to worry about."
"Thanks, Mom."
Carly hung up the phone just as Adam's deep, magnetic voice rang out behind her. "What are you doing standing at the door?"
Adam walked out of his study, a document in his hand. Leo followed closely behind him.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
