Judith's cheeks were flushed with excitement - could it be shares in the Sanders Group?
Was Dylan thinking of giving her a stake in the family business?
With that in her grasp, she wouldn't have to worry about whether the rest of the Sanders family accepted her or not.
"Judith, I'm going to change. The bodyguard will take you over there in the meantime."
"Okay, Dylan, just come over soon."
She was gently escorted towards the back garden.
But she had no idea where she was being taken. All she knew was that she was boarding a boat and settling into a comfortable chair.
Soon after, something clasped around her legs, and she instantly felt uneasy.
"What are you doing locking my feet?"
"Ms. Sanders, these are ankle bracelets, a gift worth a fortune. Mr. Dylan had them prepared for you, but you can't look at them just yet."
Judith breathed a sigh of relief, her lips curving into a smile.
"I knew Dylan loved me the most."
This vessel was larger than the dinghy from last night. The chair was fixed inside a cage adorned with fresh flowers.
This cage, which had held Maja yesterday, now contained Judith, who sat oblivious to her true predicament.
Her legs were shackled to the chair.
Fooled by the sweet scent of flowers, she believed the shackles were Dylan's generous gift.
She had no idea that in the villa's second-floor study, Dylan clutched a bottle of whiskey. He took a swig, the strong liquor forcing a series of coughs from his chest.
As the heir to the Sanders empire, he had to constantly keep his emotions in check, never showing too much vulnerability.

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....
