Adam reached out, his hand gently resting on Celine's shoulder. "I understand, Celine—"
"You don't understand at all, Adam!" she snapped. "I don't think you're really trying to help me!"
Adam's expression darkened. "Celine, why are you doubting me? Is it because Bella isn't my daughter? You're misjudging me. I would never abandon her—I care about Bella just as much."
Celine quickly realized that her panic was clouding her judgment. With Bella missing, fear and anxiety consumed her—after all, she was her mother.
But how could she question Adam when his own mother had also been taken?
There was nothing they could do but wait, no matter how agonizing it felt.
"Mr. Alvarez, I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking clearly."
"It's alright," Adam said.
His gaze lifted, and he spotted a familiar figure approaching—Perry had arrived.
Without missing a beat, Adam turned to Celine. "Celine, this is Kinthorne. Right now, I'm the only one who can help you. I'll bring Bella and my mother back. But for now, you need to come with me."
"Go with you? Where?" Celine asked.
"To my villa," Adam replied firmly.
Celine shuddered. "I don't want to go."
"Why not? Are you afraid I'll devour you or something?"
"Of course not, Mr. Alvarez. With your status, you're surrounded by beautiful women. Your fiancée is the daughter of the world's wealthiest man, while I'm already a mother. There's no way someone like you would be interested in me."
Celine didn't want to go to Adam's villa. They were both adults, and there were lines that shouldn't be crossed.
Adam saw right through her hesitation—she didn't want to get involved with him. "Fine. We'll go to my office instead."
His office?

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
After 3 years….these two are still dumb! Writer please hurry up...
What a way for both Hayden and Lucy to go...
I'm so invested with this novel. Both Declan-Hailey and Celine-Adam's story. But, Declan and Hailey gives me more heartache. I thought they would get their happy ending after what Declan have been through. But just like what others said, maybe the author is very sad that's why she don't want her characters to be happy. 😭 Ewan is so evil...
This writer is very sad! Why should Ewan come back to hurt Declan!...
So let’s move to Celina and Adam...
