After Divorce, My Cold CEO Regrets

Chapter 5: Drug Algernon

 The next day, Algernon felt slightly surprised when he received a call from Seles. He answered the call in a low voice, "Have you signed?"

"I redrafted the agreement. Come and have a look when you have time. If everything is fine, we can sign," Seles' voice was extremely cold and calm, which caught Algernon off guard. He had expected the foolish woman to cry and make a scene, refusing to agree to the divorce even if it meant dying.

In just one night, she seemed like a different person.

"Meet me tonight."

In Algernon's heart, Marina was the perfect woman—gentle, caring, beautiful, kind, and pure. But Algernon didn't know that behind his back, Marina had another side that was not to be seen and a hidden past.

Let's go back to the previous night when Algernon and Seles were discussing the divorce agreement. Marina and her mother, Mrs. Dimond, were also discussing something.

"Marina, you finally called. How did it go? Algernon didn't suspect anything, right?"

"Algernon didn't notice anything. He has already proposed to me."

"That's my daughter!"

"Mom, you must keep what happened three years ago a secret from Seles. If Algernon finds out that I pretended to be unconscious and about the abortion and those men... Ah, my life will be ruined."

"Don't worry, that stupid girl won't dare to ruin your plans. I will warn her. But you... How will you get pregnant with the Burns family's child?"

"I will make Seles donate her eggs. That silly sister of mine is finally of some use."

...

After hanging up the phone, Marina still felt uneasy. She had to sleep with Algernon and make him divorce Seles immediately! However, even though Algernon slept in the same room with her every day, he always slept alone on the couch. Marina had used the excuse of a serious illness and just waking up to gain Algernon's concern, so he did care about her health but he also did not sleep with her for the same reason. Marina hated herself so much that she wanted to slap herself.

Marina put on a wounded look, sighed deeply, and exaggeratedly said, "Algernon, Algernon, why don't you understand?"

Algernon gently covered her with a blanket. "I'm listening, my dear Marina."

"When I'm by your side, I lose myself. Is it because of my sister Seles that you don't want to accept my body?"

"No, I only love you," Algernon said emotionally.

"I love you too. Is it that Seles is unwilling to donate her eggs..."

Algernon nodded and said, "I will make her agree."

"Don't trouble my sister!" Marina shouted dramatically, "Algernon... promise me one thing. I'm glad you proposed to me, but I hope you give Seles some time. After all... she has admired you for so many years, and it will be difficult for her to accept it all at once."

"You are truly kind, Marina."

She stood up and took two tall glasses and a bottle of Bordeaux from the liquor cabinet. With elegance, she poured the wine and handed it to his lips. "Let's celebrate my awakening with a toast, shall we?"

Algernon raised an eyebrow but still took the wine and took a sip.

Only when Marina saw him drink did a smile play at the corners of her lips. She had spiked the wine with a powerful sedative.

Just then, Algernon's phone rang, and Marina noticed his expression tighten after he answered the call.

"I'm coming back now."

After speaking, Algernon quickly got dressed and explained to Marina that Mrs. Burns was sick. Leaving behind a hurried "rest well," he left like a gust of wind.

Seeing the carefully prepared atmosphere and opportunity go to waste, Marina was so angry that she smashed the wine on the ground. Suddenly, she remembered something.

In the first call Algernon received in the morning, he said "Meet me tonight." Who is he going to meet tonight?

In the Burns family, Algernon's expression turned unpleasant as he looked at his mother. "Did you deceive me?"

Mrs. Burns sat on the couch, angrily saying, "If I hadn't said that, would you have come back? Hurry up and divorce that disgusting pickpocket. I get so angry just looking at her!"

Algernon frowned but didn't say a word. He went upstairs directly.

Seles was in the room packing her clothes. When she heard footsteps at the door, she didn't even turn her head and said, "The agreement is over there. Take a look. If there are no issues, sign it."

Algernon saw her bent over, her tight pants hugging her rear tightly, completely exposed to him. His throat felt itchy, and a burst of heat surged from his lower abdomen. He was shocked by his own reaction. Could it be that he had gone too far with Marina?

To divert his attention, Algernon walked to the table and read the agreement. The clause about egg donation had been removed, but the three villas remained in the agreement, along with fifty million dollars, not a penny less. In the end, she still wanted the money.

Algernon said in a voice devoid of emotion, "Alright."

Seles sneered. If they were going to settle, she would have to make things clear with this man who didn't care about anything. She continued her actions without pause and without looking back.

"I married into the Burns family for three years. I've been treated like a servant by Mrs. Burns and Magee, at least, over a thousand times! But I've met my husband only 31 times, oh no, it should be 32 now. But this despicable man hasn't touched me even once..."

A greedy hand groped her buttocks, and then a low, mature voice slowly sounded in her ear, causing her legs to weaken, almost falling.

"I need you."

Algernon's gaze tightened, unable to suppress the fiery desire burning within him. A wild thought flooded his mind—to make love to the woman before him.

Seles struggled forcefully, but she was held firmly in place, her bottom pinned down, and the man's hand ventured into her tight pants.

This bastard must be high on drugs or alcohol. Seles was both embarrassed and angry. She shouted anxiously, "Algernon, snap out of it! I'm your wife!"

The man's actions became even faster.

"Well... I probably shouldn't have reminded this bastard that I'm his wife..." Seles struggled with all her might. Her hands were pressed down on the bed by Algernon, and his scorching breath sprayed onto her back, a direct stimulation that teased her nerve endings. An unfamiliar sense of confusion gradually consumed her body, making her feel frightened.

His slender fingers deftly unbuttoned his shirt and then ripped her clothes off. Her body was pressed into his hot embrace. At the same time Algernon was taking off his clothes and revealed his solid chest and six-packed abdomen.

"Let go--" before Seles could finish her words, her lips were sealed by Algernon!
