Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

She never thought she'd have the nerve to dream big, but desires have a way of sneaking up on you. Fate had thrown Mr. Everett into her life, and just being near him sparked a craving for more.

She wanted to marry him, to be his partner for life, to start a family together. In her mind, the spot by his side was meant for her from the beginning. What gave Selena the right to stand in her way? No one could take her Mr. Everett from her!

Joy had it figured out. If Selena was out of the picture, Mr. Everett would finally see the truth and notice her. Men, no matter how devoted, tend to move on after a while, seeking new warmth and affection.

Yasmine chuckled at the thought. Jumping into her car, she fired up the engine and, with a crazed grin, whispered, "Selena, just disappear already!" She floored it, racing headlong towards Selena and the others.

Selena's eyes widened in panic, her breath catching in her throat. She attempted to dodge with Everett, but her sluggish movements held them back. In a split- second decision, Everett pushed Selena aside with all his remaining strength.

The car slammed into Everett, and both went over the cliff. They arced through the air in a dramatic trajectory.

Selena hit the ground hard but ignored the stars dancing in her vision. She crawled frantically to the cliff's edge, her cries piercing the air.

"Everett!"noveldrama

Amidst her tears, she thought she saw him just as he plunged into the ocean, mouthing a final message.

"Forget me," he seemed to say.

A thunderous crash echoed as the car hit the water, sending ripples far and wide. The noise drew everyone to the scene.

Blaine arrived in time to see Selena attempting to descend the cliff, his heart skipping a beat. He dashed over, pulling her back.

"Selena, what are you doing? Have you lost your mind?"

Tears streamed down her face, her voice breaking with sobs. She clung to Blaine's arm like a lifeline. "Uncle, Everett fell! He's bleeding so much. You have to save him, please, or he won't survive..."

Her panic was contagious, causing Blaine's heart to clench. In that moment, he'd agree to anything she asked.

"Okay, I'll send a team to rescue him. Don't worry, it'll be alright. Just hang in there."

Alex showed up, missing a heel, face pale and hair in disarray. She leaned over the cliff too, desperately searching the vast ocean for

any

sign of their boss. She bla

herself-if only she'd stuck closer to Mr Everett. But his urgency to save Selena left her in his dust,

As she berated herself, tears flowed unchecked. She knew how deeply her boss loved his wife, but risking his own life was a step too far. With his heart already fragile, and now being stabbed and plunged into the sea, could he possibly survive?

The rescue team was dispatched immediately. Blaine called in all his resources, and the Bennett family's northern division sent help as well. With forces combined, they searched tirelessly.

Hours later, they retrieved the car, now a total wreck. A few hours after that, Yasmine was found. She had drowned, her body swollen beyond recognition.

But Everett was still missing, nowhere to be found.
