After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

The next morning.

Sunlight peeked into the room as Maria groggily opened her eyes, only to realize she was clinging to Sidney like an octopus.

The memories of last night came rushing back like a tide.

A cold glint flickered in her eyes as she turned onto her back.

Sidney stirred, glanced at her, and said, "Last night..."

Maria cut him off, "Last night, someone deliberately set me up."

Sidney nodded. "I'll help you."

Maria's eyelashes fluttered slightly before she suddenly asked, "Why?"

"What?" Sidney looked momentarily taken aback.

Maria fixed her gaze on him, her expression serious and clear. "Why did you stay last night? And now, why are you offering to help me?" Sidney's face tightened.

After a brief pause, he finally said, "You didn't let me leave last night."

Maria blinked, then unexpectedly laughed. She sat up swiftly, straddling his waist.

"Sidney, you're lying."

Her fingers traced lightly over his chest. "Last night, I told you to stop. So why didn't you let me go?"

At that moment, they were both completely bare, and her bold movement caused the covers to slip, revealing her pale skin.

The red marks scattered across her body stood out like blooming crimson flowers, rising and falling with each breath.

Sidney's breath hitched, his eyes instinctively catching a glimpse of her exposed skin.

His Adam's apple bobbed as he muttered, "I wasn't lying."

Maria clearly noticed the change in him, and she leaned forward slightly, brushing against him teasingly, her touch both light and suggestive. Sidney squeezed his eyes shut tightly. "Get off."

But Maria didn't budge. Her nose brushed along his cheek as she whispered, "Is it really so hard to admit you like me?"

Sidney remained silent, his mind a mess, just as it had been since last night.

He couldn't explain why.

The room was quiet for a long while. When Maria saw he wasn't responding, her interest in continuing suddenly evaporated. "Forget it."

She slipped off of him, saying coldly, "I'm not interested in your feelings anyway."

With that, she turned to leave the bed.

But suddenly, something tightened around her waist, and before she knew it, Maria was pinned down onto the bed. "You..."

Maria was startled and tried to turn around, but Sidney's strength was overwhelming. He held her down, leaving her helplessly sprawled on the bed, forced to endure.

"Sidney, you bastard..." Maria muttered softly, cursing him under her breath.

Sidney remained silent, his lips trailing kisses along her neck and shoulders as the covers slipped away. An hour later.

Maria lay exhausted on the bed, too drained to even lift a finger.

From the bathroom, the sound of running water echoed-it was Sidney, showering.

"Hmph..."

Her body had been honest, after all.

She closed her eyes, resting for a while before finally getting up and walking to the bathroom door.

"I need a shower too."

Not long after, the door swung open.

Sidney, caught off guard, was

His gaze darkened as he silently stepped aside.

Maria, uninterested in acknowledging him, walked past and entered the bathroom.

Sidney left, downing a glass of cold water to calm himself.

Looking at the mess of the room, his brows furrowed tightly.

Something felt off...

It seemed like things were heading in a direction he could no longer control.

Just then, his phone began to ring.
