Abner's weather forecast was spot-on, and that very night, the skies opened up in a torrential downpour.
Carol was jolted awake by the sound of thunder. She got up and peered outside.
The rain was coming down in sheets, drumming against the windowpanes with such intensity that it was almost musical.
She glanced down at the ground floor and saw Felix still kneeling there.
It seemed the servants had taken pity on him, for they hadn't turned off the lights downstairs.
With her sharp eyes, Carol noticed a bunch of flowers discarded not too far away, now being pelted by the rain, their petals scattered all over the ground.
She clutched the curtain, suddenly caught up in fervent prayer.
She wished that the heavens would unleash a few more bolts of lightning, preferably enough to strike him down once and for all.
But when the skies actually began to rumble with thunder, she found herself unable to sleep.
What if he really did get struck by lightning?
Tossing and turning, she eventually drifted off into a fitful slumber.
She awoke the next day around ten in the morning.
Immediately, she went to the window, and there he was, still kneeling.
Taking a deep breath, she headed downstairs for breakfast.
The servants lingered nearby, hesitant to speak. She pretended not to notice.
After breakfast, Carol decided to head out for some fun.
But these days, she didn't have many companions to call on. Ian was keeping a close watch on Maja, paranoid about her every move, especially with the baby on the way.
So she dialed Yolanda's number instead.
The phone rang for a good while, but Yolanda didn't pick up.
Carol frowned. It had been almost two months since they last spoke.
She tried calling her uncle, but there was no answer there either.
Just as Carol was debating whether she should drop by and check on them, Yolanda called back, her voice barely above a whisper.
"Sis."

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....
