After her face got wrecked, Alma's hate boiled over. She only found slight comfort in the misery of the two.
She caught wind of the latest from the Star Movie Group and got a wicked idea. She planned to bring down all the talented peeps in the group and break them down till they couldn't face the camera anymore.
That was Alma's plan. She didn't have to pay any price for it, 'cause there was no evidence for what happened tonight. She wasn't going to jail.
Cops were swarming all over. She and her brother hadn't done anything illegal. At most, they'd have to give a statement.
But Maja and Cornelia were in deeper shit.
Alma's face was all smug, though it looked kind of terrifying because of the scars on half her face.
In the end, everyone was hauled to the police station.
Alma kept stirring the pot, but Maja and Cornelia didn't bite.
Omar tried to shut her up, but Alma started talking about their late mother.
"Bro, you promised Mom you'd look out for me."
Omar felt like things were getting crazy and sort of lost his bearings.
He saw Cornelia sitting in a corner. He wanted to go to her, but she was just clenching Maja's hand. That was the only way she could keep her cool.
Soon, everyone finished giving their statements. Alma was the first to leave.
She gave Maja a look and said it without any hesitation.
"This is just the beginning. Shawn, Wilma, Elvis. I'll make sure they all disappear within a month."
Maja looked at her without any expression.
Alma thought she had nothing to fear. But when she saw Maja's eyes, she got a little rattled.
When she snapped out of it, she felt embarrassed.
Alma still wanted to live and enjoy life. Her brother was about to become the heir to the Casson family. Even with her messed-up face, she could still become a part of the Sanders family one day.
She had to find a way to get rid of her scars completely.
Omar finished giving his statement too, but he didn't leave.
"I want to bail Cornelia out."
Maja found this amusing.
"Omar, you can't seriously think you and Cornelia still have a chance. She killed one of your Cassons. How could you still like her?"
"She wouldn't do something like that."
He didn't answer her question. He just insisted Cornelia was a good person.
But good people often get the short end of the stick.
Maja found it laughable. Cornelia straight up laughed.
She even wanted to blind herself. How could she have fallen for him? How could she have been fooled?
Thinking back made her feel sick. A helpless kind of sick.
This was the real despair.

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....
