Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 1827

"Felix, you look like you're in a world of pain; let me help you out," she said, and with her body twisting, she slowly crawled towards him.

Felix's face turned stormy, but he pressed on, "What are you doing here? Where's Carol?"

"Forget about Carol, it's just us now, Felix. I can help you, I'm ready. I've always been ready. I know you've been hesitant to touch me, but I'm ready for you now, Felix. Take me."

She shamelessly clung to Felix's legs.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Felix could still feel a raging heat within him.

Not wanting to entertain certain thoughts, he looked down at Listina instead.

"Did you drug me?"

Caught off guard, Listina realized that Felix wasn't looking right, but the last thing she expected was that Carol would have drugged him.

Her eyes flickered with denial.

"No, I didn't, I swear I wouldn't dare. It was Carol's doing. You were already here on the bed when I arrived."

"Who told you to come?"

"Carol did. She sent me a text. Felix, she's truly shameless, running off this late at night, probably to meet her lover. Forget about her. I can make you feel good."

She got up, trying to kiss him and to rub against him.

But Felix pushed her away, hard.

Listina fell to the floor, cradling a sore elbow. Her face went white as she looked up at Felix.

She couldn't be sure, but it seemed there was a terrifying darkness loomed behind him, ready to consume everything in its path.

Her lips quivered with fear, and though she would normally press on with her seduction, she now didn't dare move; she only had her head bowed, while her body was trembling.

She had never seen Felix this dark before.

"Felix."

Still in his suit, Felix loosened his tie and let out a cold laugh.

"She sent you a message, and you just came?"

Turning it on, he glanced at the time. Five minutes to midnight.

That timing made his heart clench as if it were bound by barbed wire, the pain magnifying a thousand times. He almost crushed the phone in his hand.

His vision seemed to be tinged with red.

He stared at the clock, watching another minute tick away.

On the night of his birthday, he'd been drugged and left with Listina to 'take care' of him.

Carol.

She truly was something else. Even he couldn't have conceived such a plan.

He took a deep breath and tried calling her, but she didn't pick up.

With a loud crash, he hurled his phone against the wall, sending it shattered into pieces.

Listina nearly screamed, but what she heard was Felix commanding, "Call Carol. Tell her to come back."
