But she just couldn't bring herself to do it, and in that moment, tears began to stream down her face.
"Mr. Raymond, you promised me that you loved me, that you'd do anything for me. I can't believe it."
Her voice was loud, so loud that it was impossible for Maja, who was inside the room, to ignore it.
It was only then that Maja was sure that during her absence, another woman had indeed appeared in Ian's life.
At least Patric had been honest about that.
Now, hearing the girl's sobs, Maja opened the door.
Ian was growing impatient. After all, this woman had already taken hundreds of thousands from him; what more could she possibly want?
Hearing the door open behind him, he was startled and quickly turned around, only to find Maja standing there at the doorway.
Her eyes were sightless, one of her hands lightly resting on the door frame.
"Ian."
She called out his name and Ian, feeling guilty, responded before quickly taking her hand.
"Maja, why don't you go back to bed? You didn't look too well."
"Ian, who is this girl?"
Ian didn't dare to answer; instead he held onto her hand even tighter.
It was Jolin who decided to introduce herself.
"I'm Mr. Raymond's girlfriend. We've only recently made it official. He bought a couple of companies for me and now he wants to break up with me. I really don't want to part ways with Mr. Raymond. Miss, am I a threat to you? I beg you. Let me stay by Mr. Raymond's side. I really love him, and I don't need any title or status. I beg you, please spare me."
Jolin spoke and then dropped to her knees.
Maja, being blind, could only hear the sound of her knees hitting the floor.
She was taken aback, then realized that this woman was smarter than she thought. She was trying to make Ian think that Maja was a jealous woman, unable to tolerate a simple and innocent girl like her.
She didn't respond, just standing there coldly.
And her silence only increased Ian's stress.
He had messed up after all, so he quickly called Jeff and his bodyguards over.
"Take her away and pack up her things."
"Sure thing, boss."
Jeff had predicted this day would come, so he was not surprised.
When Jolin realized what was happening, she clung onto Maja's clothes.
"Miss, let me stay, please. Mr. Raymond has so much energy, you can't take care of him all by yourself, especially with your blindness. I'm still a student, and I'm clean. Instead of letting Mr. Raymond go out and find other women, why not let him come to me? Besides, I look so much like you. We even went to the same high school. I'm also studying art at Solstice College. Miss, we have so much in common. I don't mind sharing Mr. Raymond with you."
She gripped Maja's dress tightly.
Ian was getting panicked and motioned for the bodyguards to take Jolin away.
Jolin started crying louder.
Maja, hearing her pitiful cries, frowned slightly.
"Let her stay."

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....
