Alma gasped for breath, struggling to break free from his grip. For a moment, she thought she was going to choke to death.
Her face turned beet-red, eyes bulging out as if they were about to pop out of her sockets.
Omar gripped her tightly, then suddenly pushed her into the water.
The river was shallow, and Alma landed butt-first in it, soaking wet.
She looked at Omar in disbelief, as if she didn't know him.
After a few minutes, she clumsily backed away, only to fall into deeper water.
She was terrified, frantically trying to grasp something, almost suffocating.
Omar didn't look at her and he just kept watching the boats combing the river.
Alma struggled back to the riverbank, her eyes red. She was back to her arrogant self.
"Bro! Are you out of your mind? You almost choked me to death. What the hell were you doing?"
She was crying, clumsily wiping away her tears.
Omar was pushed back a step by her.
She crumbled to the ground and started sobbing as if she'd been wronged.
"Are you mad at me because of a skank?! How will you explain to Mom, you said you'd protect me forever!"
Alma's crying was almost a scream.
Omar didn't say anything. He was in pain, too, his chest felt like it was being cut open, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.
"Bro, I killed Cornelia's parents before, and you didn't say anything. Now, because of Zoey, you're throwing such a fit. Are you thinking of ditching Cornelia for Zoey?!"
"Shut up."
When Omar spoke, his voice was calm, and he just kept staring at the river.
Alma continued to complain, but her voice was much quieter.
Two hours later, the rescue team came to update.
"Ms. Cornelia may have been dragged to the bottom of the river by something, or she may have been washed away somewhere else. This river is too wide and deep. The person who disappeared last year hasn't been found yet, probably eaten by the river's fish and shrimp."
Alma, who had been crying, stopped when she heard Cornelia was dead.
She immediately stopped crying and stood up.

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....
