After the Divorce: Crushed on My Lawyer Ex-wife

#199 “Apparently I should Get Married.”

As the deafening sound of the gunshot shattered the air, Alexander’s heart stopped. Time seemed to freeze as he watched in horror, unable to comprehend the sudden turn of events. Kyle staggered backward, clutching his chest, a look of disbelief etched on his face.

But then, a wave of relief washed over Alexander as he realized that Kyle was still standing. It was a miracle.

“Kyle!” Alexander exclaimed, rushing to his friend’s side. “Are you okay?”

Kyle, still in shock, nodded slowly. “I… I think so,” he stammered, his voice trembling. “But… the ring…”

Alexander’s eyes fell to the shattered remains of the ring box lying on the ground. Despite the damage, the ring itself remained untouched, gleaming in the dim light.

“Thank goodness you’re alright,” Alexander breathed, his voice laced with gratitude. “That ring box saved your life.”

Kyle nodded, his expression solemn. “I can’t believe it,” he murmured, reaching down to pick up the ring. “It’s like… fate intervened to protect us.”

As they stood there amidst the chaos of the moment, Alexander couldn’t shake the feeling of awe and wonder at the inexplicable twist of fate that had just unfolded before their eyes.

Suddenly, the realization of what had just happened began to sink in, and panic set in. Alexander’s mind raced as he frantically looked around for any sign of danger.
