Patrick smirked, feeling a surge of triumph as he slowly pushed away the dagger pressing against his chest.
"If you can't do it, then it looks like you're stuck here with me. Oh, right, Maja's pregnant. Poor thing. Your kid's gonna be born without a dad, or might not even get the chance to be born, huh?"
The last words left his mouth with a mix of provocation and resignation gleaming in his eyes.
Ian's fist connected with Patrick's face, leaving everyone clueless about Patrick's sudden bout of madness.
He had made a deal with K, but K was never going to let him off the hook.
Besides, if K decided to launch a blanket attack based on the tracker's location, Patrick would be dead too.
It was bizarre. Patrick, a man so fond of life, so determined to push Eric out completely and claim the body for himself, was now acting recklessly.
Ian's punch left Patrick's cheekbone swollen. He winced in pain but just licked his cheek with the tip of his tongue.
Ian grabbed his collar again.
"Patrick, what the hell do you want?"
Was it Maja?
Unlikely. One can't hide love, and Patrick's feelings for Maja were anything but pure. His gaze towards her was complicated, tangled.
Patrick didn't answer, his hair a bit too long, shadowing his eyes, casting a gloomy look.
Ian took a deep breath and let him go.
He had to meet up with Dylan and Abner. With these forces as backup, he could leave Forbidden Island without trouble.
But the tracker on Patrick was a ticking time bomb, with K capable of ordering a indiscriminate bombing at any moment.
The car had been driving for a few minutes when suddenly, a sea of vehicles appeared ahead, accompanied by the sound of gunfire.
Ian pulled Maja into his arms and steered the car in another direction.
It was futile. As long as Patrick was with them, their location was compromised.
The sound of bullets came again, the car windows now laced with cracks.
It was then Patrick spoke up.

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....
