Watching any footage with Maja in it now, he could feel a faint throbbing in his cheeks.
His phone buzzed at that moment. It was a text from an unknown number.
[Is Maja pregnant?]
That message ignited Ian's temper instantly. Without hesitation, he dialed the number. The call was answered but no one spoke.
Ian's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was suddenly at a loss for words. After a long silence, he finally asked, "Where are you?"
A soft laugh echoed from the other end, then the call ended.
Ian's fist collided with the table next to him. He dialed again, ordering his men to locate Patric immediately.
Annoyed, he ripped off his tie and slumped back into his chair.
The live broadcast of the ceremony was nearing its end. He stood up, grabbing his suit jacket, and left the Raymond Corporation without a second thought.
When he arrived at the BlueSky Bar, he ran into Phelps.
It was rare to encounter this man, as Phelps was always busy.
But today, with Fitch and Tyler absent, Phelps joined him for a drink.
Halfway through their drinks, he asked, "Did you and Maja really break up? The rumors are all about you and Judith now."
Ian leaned back, the five-fingered mark on his cheek more prominent than ever.
"We broke up."
"How did it happen?"
Ian rubbed his cheek, trying to stay sober. But the more he tried, the quicker he got drunk.
"How does it usually happen? One person just stops liking the other."
"Did you stop liking her?"
Phelps thought Maja liked Ian. So, did that mean it was Ian who stopped liking Maja?
"No way!"
"Ian, when your bet with the EcoTraverse Group was exposed, Maja was very worried. And I heard she lost a child because of you, is that true?"
Ian's fingers stiffened around his glass, "That child was my fault. I didn't protect her."
He took another sip, his eyes swimming with intoxication.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
