After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas)

Aveline walked for nearly an hour before she finally managed to flag down a taxi. After giving the address, she stared out the window.

It was late at night, and there wasn't a soul on the road.

The driver glanced at her and suddenly asked, "Miss, why are you walking alone on the street so late? It's not safe."

Aveline snapped back to reality and looked at the driver. He was wearing a hat and a mask, only his eyes were visible, which made her feel uneasy.

"I had a fight with my husband. He'll be here soon," she said.

The driver responded, "Why run out after a fight? It's dangerous if you meet bad people."

Aveline smiled, "You're very kind, driver. I'll be more careful next time."

The driver smiled and didn't say anything more.

Aveline remained alert until the car reached her apartment complex. The driver then asked, "Which building do you live in? I can drop you off right at the entrance so you don't have to walk." Aveline replied, "No need, thank you."

The driver insisted, "It's no trouble. Let me take you there."

Aveline's wariness grew, but just then, her phone rang. She quickly answered, "Hello? Yes, I'm here. Come down to get me."

With that, she opened the door and got out of the car.

Seeing this, the driver didn't say anything else and drove off.

Once she was sure the driver had left, Aveline let out a breath."

Selena, it's fine now."

She had messaged Selena when the driver started talking to her.

Selena said, "Why are you coming home alone this late? Where's that scumbag?"

Aveline walked inside. "You called him a scumbag, so why would he do anything decent?"

Selena muttered a curse, "Forget it. I'll come over and keep you company."

"No need," Aveline replied. "We're getting divorced tomorrow. After it's done, I'll call you, and then we can go see the new house." Selena was silent for a moment before saying, "I thought maybe your trip to Larbor City might improve things between you two.

Aveline smiled silently, now inside her building. "Alright, I'm hanging up now."

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

"I will."

Aveline hung up and stepped into the elevator.

Just as the elevator doors were about to close, a hand suddenly reached in, triggering the sensors and causing the doors to open again. In the quiet of the night, the sudden appearance of someone in the hallw A man walked in wearing a hat and a mask, keeping his head down to hide his face. Aveline's heart pounded with fear.

He resembled the driver she encountered earlier!
