Maja's wrist was gripped tightly until she was seated in Ian's car.
"Slam!"
He shut the door forcefully, cupped her face in his hands, and kissed her with fervor.
Maja considered her options briefly before turning her head to avoid the kiss.
Ian felt as though his heart was catapulted into the sky, only to be cruelly slammed back down to earth.
His hands clutched the steering wheel with a death grip, his breathing shaky and rapid from the abrupt rush of emotions.
He had no idea what kind of game Phelps was playing or why the man had suddenly decided to release Maja, acting as if he held all the aces.
Seated in the passenger's side, Maja stared straight ahead, her hands involuntarily clasping the seatbelt.
A person who had been breathing in fumes of drugs, one who had been deeply hypnotized without their knowledge, felt a profound unease upon leaving the protection of someone they thought was safe.
Ian sensed something was off with her, but he was desperate to take her to the underground fight club.
He floored the accelerator.
Three hours later, the car pulled up at the grand entrance of the fight club.
He scooped Maja into his arms and strode past the ornate, black-and-gold pillars.
Maja remained silent, clinging tightly to his neck.
The roar of the crowd and the animalistic shouts rang in her ears.
She buried her head in his chest as the discomfort seemed to claw out of every pore.
Ian's palm gently patted her back until they reached the exclusive seventh level.
Maja was greeted with opulence beyond description; it was a corner of the world dripping in luxury, where the richest colors converged.
Ian placed her on the plush sofa next to him, and without hesitation, pressed down on her.

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....
