Maja and Ian held each other until their emotions settled down. Her fingertips finally rested gently on his chest.
"Promise me you won't do that again."
"I promise."
Her fingers, adorned with a ring, couldn't help but curl slightly. "Once all this is over, let's get married."
A tremor ran through Ian's chest, and he buried his head into her neck.
"Yeah, get married."
Maja's hand slowly clasped his, and their ring-adorned fingers intertwined firmly.
"I remember everything now. In fact, right from the very first day I followed K to that mansion, I was being subtly subjected to his hypnotic experiments. He was so confident in his methods."
"Was it Phelps?"
Ella snuggled closer to him, seeking comfort. "I always had this familiar feeling about K, but it never associated that with Dr. Herrington, especially since the identity of twins is such a closely guarded secret. Now, with him playing his hand, he has exposed himself, but probably he doesn't realize I've regained my memories."
She gripped his hand with a calm and determined look.
"I know where his mansion is. We could launch a surprise attack, give that smug strategist a taste of defeat."
"What's your plan?"
Maja leaned in close, whispering a few words into Ian's ear.
He raised an eyebrow slightly and chuckled, "The same as what I was thinking."
At two in the morning.
A fleet of helicopters took off, heading towards their target location.
At three, small artillery shells rained down on the mansion Maja had been in.
The people inside had no idea what was happening; they heard only a series of explosions, one after another.
In Greenfield, Ian was already bold enough to raze someone's mansion to the ground.
Now in North America, he could have even greater audacity.
The business of fight clubs was inherently shady, in lawless lands where everyone turned a blind eye.
"Boom!"
Imagine, if a man who had attained absolute power, would he genuinely be willing to step down to second place because of a woman’s arrival?
Moreover, throughout BK, everyone heeded K's word. Despite Maja being poised to be the new leader, she would still be undermined by a subordinate like 002.
Not only him; but 003 also sought to put her death.
These two reflected the sentiments of the rest within BK. A parachute female leader would never command respect and, the real power would ultimately remain with Phelps.
Phelps and his twin were the true “gods” of BK. Maja, no matter how hard she tried, would only ever be a puppet to them.
She would even have to sever ties with Ian at their behest.
Then what was the point of gaining strength?
She wanted to become more formidable to live a carefree life with the one she loved, right?
So, she and Ian saw eye to eye on this. Since BK was an obstacle, the solution was simple: Destroy it.
But Ian had one concern.
If Lillian was involved with BK, how would Maja face her in the future after making such a decision?

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....
