The afternoon sun was dipping lower in the sky when Cornelia decided she needed to reach out. She was about to catch a bus out of town, but something gnawed at her conscience. With a resigned sigh, she picked up her phone and dialed Maja, despite the time difference.
“Cornelia?”
“Ms. Pennyfeather,” she greeted with a note of urgency in her voice.
“What’s wrong? Is there a problem on set?”
“No, Ms. Pennyfeather. Zoey’s been in an accident. I suspect it’s the Bennitts’ doing. She’s likely in trouble, and I know she wouldn’t call you herself.”
Maja’s eyes narrowed, a suspicion she’d harbored about Zoey seemed to be manifesting, but she was tied up at a hotel waiting for Ian to emerge.
“How bad is it?”
“She nearly didn’t make it.”
Maja inhaled deeply, “And you’re off to a shoot now?”
“Yeah, I just wanted to let you know. She was lucky this time, might not be next time.”
“Get on your bus, Cornelia. Do your job. I’ll handle Zoey’s situation. I’ll check with some people.”
“Take care of yourself, Ms. Pennyfeather.”
After hanging up, Maja didn’t waste a second before calling Tyler. The moment he saw her name flashing on his screen, his scalp tingled with apprehension. He knew Maja’s protective streak, and if she kicked up a fuss, Ian would no doubt get involved—and if the Sanders family were to step in, the mess would only escalate.
He chose not to answer, hoping to play dead. But when Maja’s calls went unanswered thrice, she texted him.
[I don’t care what the Bennitts are planning for Zoey, but if she gets hurt again, I won’t let it go lightly. You better keep your people in check. I don’t play nice like she does.]

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....
