Wendy felt as if every bone in her body had been extracted, her grip on the smartphone weakening as she scrolled down the screen, tears streaming down her face.
The Bennitt family were still knocking on her door.
"Wendy, you seen what's going on online? The Bennitt family stock took another nosedive. You really should make a public apology; what you did was out of line."
"There's been over half a million nasty comments online, and the shareholders are upset. If you don't speak up soon, the higher-ups might start investigating our family."
Wendy hugged her knees, her shoulders trembling relentlessly.
"I won't apologize! I will not apologize to that wretch!"
Hearing this, the person outside her door felt a surge of irritation. What time were these for throwing a childish tantrum!
"Fine, if you won't apologize, the Bennitt family will have to announce your expulsion from the family. Your actions will no longer be our concern. You'll be on your own."
Family bonds meant little in the grand scheme of things, and Wendy had an older brother to think about. His standing in the family was now at risk because of her actions, and it was natural for her parents to start weighing their options.
Wendy stared in disbelief, unsure how to begin crying. How could they do this? When she had first returned home, everyone adored her.
When they learned of her engagement to Fitch, they all congratulated her. But now, everything had changed.
She flung the door open and ran downstairs only to find most of the Bennitt family members gathered there, all wearing grim expressions.
Wendy was no longer the untouchable young lady, but a girl wiping away her tears.

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....
