After the meal, Maja endured the rigorous training regime. The whip cracked at a pace set by 003, who seemed to target her with every lashing. Though Maja dodged clumsily, she could tell that 003 wasn't singling her out intentionally.
Two days later, the sound of a car engine outside signaled the return of K.
Maja's expression shifted; she was eager to see just who this elusive K was and what he looked like.
She sat in the lounge, still as a statue—it was her downtime.
The front door opened, and 003 greeted the newcomer with respect.
"Sir, welcome back."
Maja's eyes darted to the entrance, and when she saw the mask on the man's face, her interest deflated. His caution was impenetrable; he likely hadn't removed his mask even during her training sessions.
She lowered her lashes, noting how K's gaze swept the room.
"Where's 002?"
"I don't know. Haven't seen her around for a couple of days. Maybe she's out on a mission or something."
K's brow furrowed—002 wouldn't just leave on a mission. When he had departed, he'd ordered her to train Maja. His commands were the highest priority.
Instinctively, his gaze flicked to Maja.
He then headed to the secret chamber.
As the door swung open, 002 tumbled out, collapsing in a disheveled heap on the floor.
For two whole days, she hadn't slept or rested, constantly on high alert for any sneak attacks.
If not for her formidable skills, she would have succumbed long ago.
Her heart raced as she lay exhausted. Had K arrived even an hour later, she might have truly met her end there.
At the hands of Maja, that contemptible woman.
002 stormed into the lounge, and upon seeing Maja, she couldn't hold back.
"I'll kill you! I'll kill you!"
Her hands wrapped around Maja's neck.
Maja feigned resistance, scoffing inwardly.
Clearly, 002 was blinded by rage to dare such an act under K's watchful eye.
Sure enough, a bullet whizzed by a second later, grazing 002's arm.
002 collapsed, blood seeping from the wound.
K approached, his voice icy calm.
"Explain."
"Mr. K."
"I've said it before, Maja is the future leader. To attempt murder against her—do you understand the gravity of that crime?"
002 was stunned, nearly losing her life because of Maja and now unable to control her temper.
Facing K's cold stare, she quivered, biting her lip.
K turned to Maja. "How would you like to handle this?"

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....
