Marry Me Again, Ex-Wife Chapter 2

The man was fast asleep his narrow and sharp eyes half closed.

Cecilia Raymond struggled to get up from the bed. Her back curved to a graceful arc, visible and hidden under her long hair.

She was just about to pick up her clothes from the floor when a cold voice came from behind her.

Jeremy Salvatore

"How much money do you want?"

There was no emotion in his voice. The passion and lust from last nights drunkenness had faded.

Cecilia paused in the act of grabbing her clothes. The funny thing was she had been married to this man for thee years, and yet he had no idea who she was.

Three years ago, she saved Holden Salvatore's life. At that time, her father's company was facing financial difficulties. Holden offered to let her marry his grandson, Jeremy, and invested three hundred million into her family's business.

Jeremy was nowhere to be seen throughout the whole process. It wasn't until after they had registered the marriage that she found out he had gone abroad.

For three years, she had been Mrs. Salvatore in name only, and the laughingstock of town. She never expected that the first meeting would be in bed.

Cecilia Raymond

"I don't need money."

She put on her clothes. Her head was a mess because of the Hangover, feel like it was about to explode.

Jeremy Salvatore

"If you don't want money, are you planning to stick to me?"

Jeremy chuckled lightly. His eyes looked sharp and scrutinized her without reserve.

Her face was small and smooth, her figure was proportioned, and her eyes clear. She was beautiful women, but that was it. Just another woman who had taken the initiative to throw herself at him. Only this time she succeed.

Jeremy Salvatore

(withdrew his gaze) "I give you what you deserve, but if you imagine anything else, I Suggest you get it out of your head right now."

Although he was drunk last night, given his character, he wouldn't lose control over a woman. It must have been something in the drink she gave him.

By then, Cecilia was already dressed. Last night many respectable and prominent people had attended the Salvatore family's banquet. Everyone wanted to meet the man who was about to take over the family business.

Cecilia arrived late, and although Holden was not in the country at the time, he had specifically instructed her to attend the banquet.

She just wanted to make an appearance and leave, but her father stopped her and handed her two glasses of wine.

He suggested she have a face to face conversation with Jeremy, since he was back.

But then that happened....

Cecilia was well aware of Jeremy's resistance to the marriage. So how could she make him believe that what happened last night was not her doing?

A hint of helplessness flashed in her eyes. After a two-second silence, she opened her mouth to speak.

Cecilia Raymond

"Actually...."

The cell phone on the bedside table started to vibrate. Jeremy glanced at it.

It was a call from his personal lawyer. He put the call on speaker, and a respectful male voice came from other end,

Lawyer

"Mr. Salvatore, I've arrived at Ms. Raymond's apartment, but she is not home. Should I send the divorce agreement to the Raymond's family address?"

Jeremy got up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, frowning at riverview in the distance.

He had no impression of his so-called wife of three years.

He had heard from Holden that she was kind and gentle, with an outstanding education, but so what?

Now the Raymond family had handled the crisis, and they had also paid the favor she had done for Holden.

Jeremy Salvatore

(in his cold ruthless voice) "First, try to contact her and get her to sign the divorce agreement. If she's not cooperative then contact the Raymond family."

Cecilia picked up her own phone to check for missed work messages. She paused for a moment when she heard the word divorce from him.

Her phone screen showed a message from her father.

Christian Raymond (FL Father)

["Cecilia, did you leave early last night? Grace told me to ask you, did Jeremy drink that glass of wine?"]

Cecilia Raymond

(lowered her head) ["Wasn't that the glass of wine you gave me, Dad."]

Christian Raymond (FL Father)

["Grace gave that to me. If you're not busy with work today, go to the hospital to see your sister. She said she misses you."]

Cecilia fell troubled. She understood that all of this was orchestrated by that women.

Christian noticed that she didn't respond.

Christian Raymond (FL Father)

["What's wrong? Are you drunk?"]

He thought she was suffering from a hangover and quickly asked her if she need any hangover medicine. His tone full of concern.

Cecilia was in her thoughts. Her mother had passed away early and her father had run the company alone, which had taken a toll on him.

Over the years he remarry when Cecilia was a freshman and had never ill-treated her in any way.

She didn't want to bring this up and suppressed her unease and agitation.

Cecilia Raymond

["I'm fine. I'll go see Selah later. Tell Grace that I appreciate her thoughtfulness."]

On the other side, Jeremy's call was still in progress. The topic seemed to have switched to business.

She looked up, the light outside the window was shining on the man's shoulders. He was casually wearing a white robe.

His figure was like a backlit photograph. His face was handsome, but the lines of his profile was exceptionally cold giving a sense of unfriendliness and coldness.

Cecilia put away her phone, turned around to push open the door and walked out.

Since Jeremy was already preparing for divorce process, it would be quite awkward if he found out he slept with his contractual wife he didn't like for the years.

It was better to just let it be and part ways amicably.

Jeremy hung up the phone and only then remembered the strange woman in the room he hadn't finished communicating with.

He turned around to see an eerily silent room. The woman was already gone. He couldn't help but frown.

The bedsheet was half pulled off in a mess. The crumpled dress shirt was thrown at the foot of the bed.

Red wine and an enticing scent were mixed together.

He rubbed his forehead. If it weren't for the obvious dark red strain on the sheet, he would have thought the woman he saw when he woke up was just a fusion.

There was a knock at the door and the voice of his secretary, Jeff, came from outside.

Jeff (ML secratary)

"Mr. Salvatore."

Jeremy Salvatore

"Come in."

The door was pushed open and Jeff held a brand new suit. Seeing the scene in the room, his face was full of confusion, but he didn't asked further. He put down the clothes and left.

Jeremy went to the bathroom for a shower. After dressing up, he walked out.

Jeff respectfully hung back half a step, trailing behind. As they stepped outside, Jeremy suddenly halted.

Jeremy Salvatore

"Who was the lady sneaking out of my room this morning?"

As Jeff recalled the scene, he just saw, he responded hastily in shock.

Jeff (ML secratary)

"I'll look her up right away."

Jeremy lightly closed his lips and his eyebrows furrowed. He guessed that was a trap. Leading him to look for her was probably the plan.

Jeremy Salvatore

"No need."

If she planned this carefully, what had happened definitely would happen again.
