Chapter 906
Everyone felt super awkward. How could they just leave lan alone here? But lan just raised his hand and glanced at his wristwatch. “Come back when the quake monitoring team tells ya it’s safe.”
“But, sir.”
lan had already started walking down the road. The rest could only hold onto Coco and one by one grab the ropes dropped from the chopper.
When Maja woke up, all she could hear was the sound of water dripping, drip drop drip drop. It was especially clear in the silence. She tried to move, but the cave was too dark and there seemed to be a lack of oxygen.
She coughed twice and noticed that the echo here was pretty loud. Where was this?
She couldn’t see anything, but she knew she was in a cave and there were cameras around. She tried to walk but almost fell because of her injured foot.
Suddenly, a mechanical voice asked, “Where’s the stuff Patric gave you? If you don’t tell me, I’ll leave you here forever.”
The voice came from the direction of the camera. It was probably the person who brought her here.
Maja had survived in worse conditions, with snakes and centipedes, but here it was just darkness, at least there weren’t any creepy crawlies. So, she didn’t get scared, she started feeling around the walls for an exit. But it was an enclosed space, no doors anywhere.
The voice asked again, Where’s the thing? It’s not at RosenGarden. Is it at Rosewood Manor? Or have you hidden it somewhere else?”
Maja suddenly remembered the surveillance at RosenGarden, and a chill ran down her spine. Was it this guy? But she still didn’t know what this man looked like.
“Who are you?”
The man didn’t answer. The voice disappeared, and everything went quiet again.
Maja knocked on every surface she could reach, but she got nothing, all the walls seemed solid, no way out.
She looked up, and everything was pitch black. If the way wasn’t on the sides or below, then it had to be above.
Was this some kind of pit? No wonder she was having trouble breathing.
She got tired of searching and just sat down somewhere, wondering if this guy really intended to keep her here. After who knew how long, she heard the man’s voice again. “There’ll be a quake in half an hour, estimated 6.5 magnitude. If you keep silent, you’ll die here.”
Maja swallowed hard, just as she was about to speak, she heard some static in the speaker, then lan’s voice.
“Maja?”
“Maja!”
Maja’s eyes widened in disbelief. lan?

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....
