If he made one wrong move, the next bullet wouldn't whiz by—it would hit home.
With a slight arch of his brow, Ian scanned the horizon.
But all he could see was the sandy beach not far beneath his feet and the relentless stretch of ocean—everything else was a blur.
He had no clue where the shooter was hiding, but the situation reeked of a sniper's handiwork.
And not just one—only a team could cover their angles so tightly.
The thrumming of helicopter blades began to fill the air. It looked like they wanted to negotiate.
Ian stood his ground, then heard K's voice cut through the noise.
"Leave Maja behind."
It wasn't really K's play. After stirring up so much trouble, he wanted Maja and Ian to be trapped there forever.
This trip had been fraught with too many twists, and Ian was done playing cat and mouse. He couldn't afford any more complications.
But someone wanted Maja alive and by their side.
Since K had chosen to collaborate, he had to keep his word.
After all, Maja's life wouldn't be a bed of roses once she was with them.
As for Ian, his fate was sealed to die tonight.
If Ian died, it was one less problem for K.
Having figured out the crux of it all, K stood impassively in the chopper.
The chopper's roar was too loud, drawing a lot of attention, especially following a round of gunfire.
Maja, held tight in Ian's arms, didn't need to think hard to guess K's intentions.
"Ian, he wants you to stay," she murmured.
"Yeah."
Ian wasn't dumb, and he pulled her closer.
Maja's cheek pressed against his chest, "If you hand me over, I'm as good as dead. He wants me alive, though I've got no clue why."

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....
