Celine stirred slightly, trying to sit up.
But as soon as she moved, Adam woke up. He reached out and pulled her back into his arms.
"You're awake?" he asked.
Celine stayed quiet and buried her face in his chest.
Adam's eyes were still heavy with sleep, but the usual cold restraint on his features had softened, giving a hint of lazy and seductive charm.
He reached out and gave her cheek a gentle pinch.
"What's wrong? Are you mad? You won't speak to me now?"
Of course, she was mad. Last night had not been consensual. Celine wanted nothing more than to ignore him right then.
Adam smirked and placed a kiss on her forehead. "Even when angry, you're still so cute."
Celine gave his firm chest a brutal twist in retaliation.
Adam flipped over, pinning her beneath him.
"Still not satisfied from last night? Should we go for another round?"
Celine's lashes trembled. After the exhausting ordeal from last night, she couldn't believe he still had the energy for more.
"I said no! It's already morning. We haven't heard anything from Carly yet, and I'm really worried about Bella and Mrs. Alvarez."
Adam was naturally worried, too. He lowered his voice and comforted, "No news might be good news. Carly's probably too overwhelmed to make a move."
Celine nodded. "Let's get out of bed then."
"Okay."
They got out of bed right before Leo came in.
"Mr. Alvarez."
He was there to report in for work.
Celine glanced at Adam, then quietly slipped out of the CEO's office.
Once outside, she received a message from Hailey.
"Celine, I heard that Nigel returned to the country today."
Nigel had been abroad for quite some time, and now he was back.

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...
