”Good day, miss. I’m looking for the Surgery Department. May I know which floor it is located on?”
The man who was speaking to Fia had a pair of breath-taking, blue, deep set eyes. He was on the stairs with Fia, looking at her with an earnest gaze.
Fia took a good look at him before answering his question, “It’s on the fourth floor.”
“Thank you, miss.” The man nodded before stepping aside, allowing Fia to continue descending the stairs.
Seeing this, Fia, too, nodded back at him politely before racing down the stairs. Instead of continuing his way to his supposed destination, the man kept on staring at Fia, eyeing at her slim, delicate figure and her innocent, good-willed eyes.
She was so defenseless that he could easily push her and have her rolling down the stairs, injuring her severely.
A good-hearted, defenseless girl like her was not a wicked wench like how Esme had described her. Heh, it seemed that word about Esme Manning being a liar was true after all!
Reaching a corner of the floor below, Fia sensed the man’s gaze and turned to look at him, locking eyes with him.
She asked curiously, “Is there anything else you needed?”
The man hesitated for a moment before saying, “Have you met with something untoward lately?”
Fia gave him a puzzled look. “No. What made you think so?”
“If you did, it’s best that you resolve it as quickly as possible. Only then will you be able to start your life anew.”
Upon saying that, the man turned away and continued ascending the stairs.
“…”
Fia was baffled by this stranger’s weird words. She took a look at the numbers that she had keyed in earlier when they were exchanging words. She had been silently keying in the phone number of the police station nearby so she could call them right away if the man were to assault her. Yet, he had left before she could finish typing the number.
What a weird man… Was he some kind of horoscope enthusiast? How strange indeed.
Suddenly, her phone rang. Fia immediately received the phone call anxiously.
“Fia! Where are you?!” Conrad’s anxious voice could be heard from the phone.
“I am not using the elevator. I took the stairs.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Stop It, She’s Remarrying (Fia and Conrad)
I had known that the ending would be like this , I would never had read this book. It didn’t have a right ending at all. Made no sense. Don’t waste your time....
Evil should never win and Lucifer has harmed far to many....
This should not end this way. Fia, rather than following Lucifer’s evil path should reflect and realize that she has always loved Conrad and he has always loved her. Their problems were due to the interference of others, Beryl, Esme etc . Since she is the only one that can approach Lucifer, she and Peter should cooperate with each other, kill Lucifer and evil Beryl, Peter can remove the toxins/ poison from everyone and each will be able to live normal lives without interfering with others relationship's. The children deserve their real father who will love them dearly and provide and protect them with the life they deserve. Gia has been a fool since the beginning and has believed everyone but her beloved husband. Please end this on a good note, that is why we all read these stories, everyone loves a happy ending....
