All Chapters of Revenge After Divorce: All Men Want Her : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Elena’s POVI was taped to the bed frame, my wrists burning from that cheap-ass hemp rope. Julian sat right next to me with that kicked-puppy look that made me want to puke. He reached out to touch my face, and I snapped my head away."Julian, are you for real? How do you think this ends?" I asked, my voice flat and hollow."I didn't have a choice, Elena. Just tell me... what do I have to do to make you come back?""I don't know. But I know that with what you’re doing right now, you’re gonna end up in a cell right next to Candy. Is that what you want? To rot behind bars like your mistress?"At the mention of Candy, he looked like he’d been punched in the gut. He grabbed his head with both hands, like he was trying to keep his brain from exploding. That name was the symbol of every single thing that had gone wrong between us."Don't talk about her... dammit, not her..."He was spiraling. His eyes had this terrifying, manic glint."We’re gonna have another kid, Elena. That’s the fix. If

Elena’s POVDamon finally snapped. He swung a massive right hook at Adrien, who barely had time to shove me out of the way before taking the blow. But Adrien isn’t the type to turn the other cheek. He fired back instantly with a perfectly placed left cross. They ended up grappling on the ground, tearing at each other's designer collars between the cars. They looked like two kids in a playground, except the hits were landing hard and fast.I just stood there on the asphalt, gripped by a sudden, desperate urge to bolt. I had this knot in my stomach... I knew that no matter which one I left with tonight, it was going to end in a brutal interrogation.That’s when Victoire approached me. She looked down her nose at me with that haughty air—the kind belonging to women who think they own the world just because there’s an apostrophe in their last name."Well, well, Mademoiselle... you certainly get around. Divorced and already you have two heirs beating each other bloody for you. How charming

Elena’s POVMy cheeks flushed instantly. I checked his phone immediately to hide how flustered I was."Is your phone glitching? It’s six o'clock already?"Adrien crouched down to finish staking the tent."Did you think you only slept for ten minutes? I stopped several times for supplies, and you didn't even bat an eye."I couldn't believe it. I’d actually slept through the entire drive. Once the campsite was set up, he unfolded a camping chair for me and got to work at the stove—well, the camping burner—to make some pasta. I watched him, fascinated by how comfortable he was with all the hiking gear."Do you do this often, Doctor?""Back in the day, I used to get bored, so I’d hit the road. Now, with the hospital, I don't really have the time."I rested my chin in my hand, watching him stir the pot."You must have seen some crazy things, right? An experience that really stuck with you?"He paused, his eyes drifting."Once, I was lost in the mountains when a storm broke out. The tent al

Elena’s POVI turned my head toward the waiter. He was just a kid, maybe twenty. Under my stare, he turned beet red, beads of sweat breaking out on his forehead. He was shaking so hard he almost spilled the water.Across from me, Léa started spewing her venom again, louder this time:"I’m telling you. There are some girls who, even when they were married, were hooking up with guys behind their husbands' backs. Getting caught in the act—how embarrassing is that? and once they're divorced, they don't stop. They play the innocent little saint to hook some rich sucker. It’s disgusting. Seeing that at our table makes me want to puke."The entire table was staring at me. The silence was razor-sharp.I got it. This Léa was trying to put me on public trial using whatever gossip she’d managed to dig up. A cold calm washed over me. I traced a tiny smile on my lips, picked up a cloth napkin, and wiped the corner of my mouth, very slowly.Léa tilted her chin up, looking triumphant."Nothing to sa

Elena’s POV"A thirty-year-old 'silver fox' with no exes is suspicious," I said, shoving him back so I could climb down from the console. I trudged toward the bed, dragging my feet. "How did you manage to stay single? Oh, I know... the 80-buck rule. It’s a total dealbreaker."I heard the sound of a jacket being tossed aside and a belt being unbuckled. I didn't turn around, but I could feel things were about to heat up behind me.I’d barely reached the edge of the bed when he swept me off my feet. One swift move, and I was pinned to the mattress with his weight on top of me. He yanked my zipper down in one go. The sudden rush of cold air on my skin made me jump."A silver fox? Is that right?" he whispered against my ear. His voice was low, bordering on dangerous."I’m thirty, Elena. But do I look old to you? Did I seem 'tired' the other night?"His lips brushed my ear, sending shivers through my entire body."Doctor... stop with the bullshit...""Remember when you were counting my abs
