Adam's handsome face filled Celine's vision, and his strong arms wrapped around her waist. "Are you okay?" he whispered.
It had been three long years—three years since she and Adam had parted ways.
Now, caught in his warm embrace, breathing in his clean, masculine scent, Celine felt a wave of dizziness sweep over her.
Nonetheless, she snapped out of it quickly. Pressing her hands against his firm chest, she attempted to push him away. "I'm fine. Thank you, Mr. Alvarez."
Despite this, Adam didn't loosen his grip. If anything, he held her tighter. "What were you thinking just now?"
"Nothing," she responded hastily.
"Liar," he murmured. "You were thinking about me, Celine."
Their bodies remained pressed together, his strong, unyielding frame against her soft, delicate figure. The air between them thickened, charged with an undeniable tension.
Celine stiffened, struggling against his hold. "Mr. Alvarez, let me go!"
"And what if I don't?" Adam countered.
He certainly had no intention of letting her go.
Celine instantly regretted it. She should have never stepped into his office.
She pushed against him, frustration flashing in her clear eyes. "Mr. Alvarez, please show some respect! If you don't let go, I won't hold back!"
As she twisted in his arms, her slender figure moved like an eel, her soft curves pressing against him.
Adam stiffened at the contact. After three years of restraint, his body reacted instinctively, heat rushing through him.
A smirk played on his lips. "And tell me, Celine, how exactly do you plan to 'not hold back'?"
"Mr. Alvarez, are you seriously taking advantage of me? My daughter has been kidnapped, and instead of helping, you've dragged me into your office. What is it you really want?"
Adam's grip tightened around her waist as he lifted her chin with his fingers.
"Celine, do you even understand what it means to take advantage of someone? If I truly wanted to, I wouldn't have brought you here—I would have taken you to my bed. I'd have named my price, demanding a night with you in exchange for your daughter's safety."
Celine's eyes widened in shock. Before she could stop herself, her hand snapped up, striking him.

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...
