He bowed his head to light a cigarette, ready to exit the private booth.
Before leaving, he rasped out a sentence.
"If I'd known women could be so heartless, I would never have dabbled in love."
As he spoke, he felt a burning pain in his throat.
He flung the door open, only to find Coral standing at the entrance.
Coral was also invited to the party, her friends were already inside the private booth.
She had arrived a bit late and didn't expect to bump into Ian.
"Ian."
She called out to him, her gaze shifting inside the room.
Inside, there was only one person, Fitch.
Ian acknowledged her with a curt nod before attempting to leave.
Coral hesitated for a few seconds before calling him back.
She pulled Ian back into the booth and quickly closed the door.
"Ian, I'll only say this once."
As she spoke, she glanced around the room to ensure there were no cameras before quickly adding,
"On the day you were looking through the surveillance footage at the BlueSky Bar, I ran into Maja. She was dressed as a waitress and seemed to be hiding from someone. Most importantly, she was blind. I had a gun to my head that day and didn't dare to tell you this."
Coral let out a sigh of relief after rushing out her words.
"Act like you didn't see me tonight. I have no idea who those people were, they were rough with Maja and they made her eat something."
Ian's cigarette dropped to the floor as he furrowed his brows, feeling as if his head was splitting.
"You're saying she's blind?"
"Yep, she bumped into me in the hallway, recognized my voice and asked me to help her to the car. I was going to take her away but then another group of people showed up. They were brutal and forced something down her throat. Everything I'm telling you is true."
Coral quickly left after speaking her piece.
She had to be cautious because of the threats from those people.
Ian stood in place, feeling as if a tsunami had hit him.
He recalled when he was about to sign a contract with Eric, Maja sat in Eric's arms the entire time, even wearing a hat.
At that time, he thought she was determined to be with Eric, so she purposely avoided him.

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....
