Smoke rose to the air.
The entire house smelled of smoke. It was asphyxiating.
The house was filled with flammable materials, and there were more than ten kilograms of sketches.
The fire came quickly.
Luna had no time to think who wanted her dead; she only knew that she had to live! Nellie had to, at least!
She wrapped Nellie’s body in a wet towel.
Luna found a rope in the room and tied it around Nellie. “Do you still remember the survival skills Uncle Malcolm taught you last time?“
“Yes.“ Nellie hugged Luna with teary eyes. “But, Mommy, if you’re not going to go, I’d rather die with you! I don’t want to go alone! “
“Listen to me. I’ll come up with something.“
Luna took a deep breath. “There are people outside. I ’11 lower you down from the window. Three floors down live a couple of loving elderly. I’111ower you to their balcony. Get them to take you in. Then, contact your brother and call the police. Remember, before the police arrive, do not leave the couple’s home. Do you hear me?“
Luna was afraid that Aura’s men would be downstairs, too. Since Aura was already willing to kill, Luna could not let anything happen to Nellie.
“Mommy… “ Nellie cried as Luna carried her to the window. “I should’ve listened to Nigel and object to you coming back.“
She thought that Luna and her Daddy would reconcile when Luna came back, and the three siblings would have a loving home. Who knew?
Her Mommy was in danger time after time, yet they did nothing.
Luna helplessly patted Nellie on the head. “Even if you were to object, I’d still come back. Don’t worry, I won’t die. Go first.“
“Mmh.“
The little girl wiped her tears and carefully grabbed onto the rope. She lowered herself down slowly.
When they were overseas, Uncle Malcolm trained the three of them on survival techniques. Nellie was always the one who had the best results.
She still had what it took to survive.
Luna looked at Nellie lowering herself down by the window as she raised her voice calling for help, coughing.
Before Nellie was out of danger, Luna could not let anyone outside notice what was going on.
The flames grew brighter.
The sounds of fire crackling and a woman coughing while shouting for help kept ringing in the corridors.
Finally, Nellie was safe.
Leaning against the wall, Luna looked at how the rope stopped moving. She smiled in relief.
Initially, this was her moment to escape, but after sending Nellie off, she has depleted her energy.
Furthermore, the air around her was toxic. She leaned against the wall, unable to exert any strength.
Was this the end?
Luna was somewhat reluctant. She did not expect that Aura was so paranoid to this extent.
Back then, Luna thought that Joshua was the vicious one.
However, at that moment, she realized that Aura— who used to be her good sister—was much crueler than Joshua.
They were…clearly a match made in heaven.
Her sight grew blurry, but before she passed out, she seemed to have seen someone kicking the door open.
Joshua came running in with a worried and anxious look. He immediately lifted her up.
This must be a dream.
Being carried in his arms, it felt familiar yet strange to her. It was so warm she felt like crying.
She cried.

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
