Chapter 582
She watched as Everett's handsface turned more and more serious, his aura sharp and dangerous, yet she
showed no sign of backing down. "Everett, you're the one making things difficult. Sthings don't need to be
said; we both know them well."
He used little Mateo as a bargaining chip to pull her back to his side. Her decision to stay for Mateo was one
made out of necessity, yet he kept pushing her further. He always did this; she had to live by his rules. In the
past, he didn't want her love, so she couldn't give it to him. Now he wanted her heart, and she was supposed to
just hand it over. But life isn't that simple. Even if he were the dealer, he couldn't win every game. Selena gently
traced her fingers over his brows and eyes, but her words cut like ice. "Everett, you once said love didn't matter,

him.
Everett leaned down to capture her lips, impatiently pulling her close, tearing away her dress. He wouldn't let
her escape or refuse him, using every means to please her, marking her with his presence. Only then could he
calm his restlessness and anxiety.
Selena kept her eyes closed, silently enduring it all, biting her lip without making a sound, no matter how
frantically he sought her. In this silent battle, Everett eventually lost.
But he wasn't ready to let go.
Holding her from behind, even after moving away, his dark eyes lingered on her slender back, tracing her
elegant butterfly bones. Here

was still warm, cheeks flushed, breathing quick, still caught in the echoes of their passion.
Everett kissed her throat, no longer wild but gentle, as if he was both unwilling to let go and pleading. "Selena,
you clearly still have feelings for me. | can make you happy, can't I?"
Even though he hadn't been with anyone else, he knew Selena well enough to sense her happiness from her
reactions.
