Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1072

Maja bolted up from her bed, her heart pounding. She thought someone was playing a prank on her.

A second later, another message arrived.

[Nice pajamas.]

Maja felt a chill run down her spine. She remembered the room filled with hidden cameras from her past. The feeling sent shivers down her spine.

She turned off the light and scanned the room. No sign of hidden cameras.

She moved to the window, just about to draw the curtains. The phone buzzed again.

[You look adorable searching around for me. Did I go too far last time? Did you take any birth control pills?]

It was Patric.

Maja's hand tightened on the curtain, her palm slick with cold sweat.

Without hesitation, she pulled the curtain shut, ensuring no one could see into the room from outside. She sank back onto the bed.

No more messages came, but she couldn't shake the unease.

She checked the bathroom again, making sure every corner was clear before climbing back into bed.

Then someone knocked on the door. Her whole body stiffened. She walked to the door and peered through the peephole.

The peephole showed nothing but darkness. It was blocked.

She immediately dialed Ian's number.

Ian was lying in bed, feeling unwell for some unknown reason.

Little did he know that his drink not only contained something from Judith but also other substances added by someone else. These substances would cause him intense pain in a short amount of time.

Hearing his phone ring, he fumbled to pick it up.

"Maja."

His voice was hoarse, sounding weak. Then he heard her voice on the other end, "I think someone's outside my room."

Ian jumped up immediately. But the moment he got off the bed, he felt like every cell in his body was in pain, spinning his world.

Bracing himself, he didn't pass out. He opened the door and headed downstairs.

The corridor was empty.
