Doris angrily hung up the phone and then, not ready to give up, shot a text to Athena.
"If you don’t believe me, just wait and see tonight. He’s definitely not coming home."
Athena knew deep down that Tyler wouldn’t come back. With so many women in his life, he barely had time for her, the so-called "nanny" at home.
She understood, but it didn’t hurt her anymore. As long as she could see his face, that was enough.
Meanwhile, over at the dinner party, Tyler had just settled into his seat when a high-profile starlet, whose fame was mostly due to her looks rather than any significant work, cozied up next to him, obediently serving him some food.
Tyler, being the player that he was, was instantly drawn to her face. He lifted her chin and asked plainly, "Are you clean?"
The directors and investors at the table chuckled knowingly. Tyler had clearly taken a liking to her.
"Spotless," one replied.
Tyler chuckled softly and pulled her into his lap. "Alright, you’re coming with me tonight."
The group continued to drink and chat, and Bert, sitting nearby, couldn’t help but boast, "I thought you weren’t coming out tonight. Is the missus at home?"
The others chimed in, "Is Mr. Bennitt secretly married?"
Bert took a swig of his drink. "No way! Didn’t he say it before? Anyone who gets married is a fool. This life’s too much fun to tie yourself down."
Laughter erupted again as Tyler fed the girl some wine. But Bert’s words made Athena’s face flash in his mind.
Bert continued, "Tyler’s all about living in the moment since that surgery a few years back."
He gave Tyler a cheeky nudge. "Right?"

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....
