Dylan was engrossed in a book, relaxed and carefree, with a bowl of peeled fruit on the small table between him and Judith.
Little did he know that just a few hundred yards away, Maja had just had a brush with death.
Judith quickly grabbed her compact mirror after hanging up the phone. Noticing her tired appearance, she touched up her lipstick and applied a bit of blush to brighten her complexion. Only then did she turn to Dylan with a beaming smile.
"Ian's on his way over. Could you give us some space?"
Dylan wasn't so naive. He knew that Ian seeking Judith out wasn't a positive sign.
"Judith, you haven't been up to anything, have you?"
Judith was about to deny it, but then remembered Maja, unconscious in the hallway, her fate unknown.
A frown creased her forehead. Wind should have been careful, she thought. No one should know.
She quickly took out her phone and sent a message to Wind, asking him to hide Maja.
"No, I've been taking care of myself these days."
Dylan let the matter drop.
Fifteen minutes later, a loud crash sounded from nearby.
An SUV had rammed through the gate and was headed straight for them.
Luckily, the patio where he and Judith were sitting was elevated, preventing the vehicle from reaching them.
The car pulled to a stop in front of them, and Ian strode out.
The rain had stopped, but he was still drenched and exuded a volatile energy.
"Ian!" Judith's eyes lighted up with joy. She tried to approach him, oblivious to the danger.
But in the next moment, Ian pulled out a gun and fired without hesitation. The bullet hit Judith in the shoulder.
Judith froze, her face paling as pain shot through her body. Then her heart condition kicked in.

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....
