Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Clutching the family seal ring in his fist, Oliver turned on his heel and walked away without a backward glance.

With a gentle touch, lan brushed Maja's hair from her sweat-dampened forehead as she lay on the ground, lost in a fitful slumber

that even her dreams couldn't soothe.

His heart ached for her, and guilt gnawed at him for not being able to save her mother.

But right now, protecting Maja was his only focus.

He buried his face in the crook of her neck, a rare moment of vulnerability washing over him.

Ever since they had set foot on Forbidden Island, he hadn't dared to rest, working tirelessly to convince Oliver, investigate the

elders’ secrets, and familiarize himself with the treacherous terrain.

He regretted dragging Maja into this mess.

The situation with Patric had spiraled beyond his understanding. He wasn't omnipotent; even he could make a mistake.

"Oliver, you've got ten minutes. If you're not back by then, I'm leaving without you," lan said into his phone, his voice steady but

firm.

"Okay," cthe terse reply.

Oliver was already a good distance away, his figure gradually swallowed by the smoke and chaos of the battlefield.

lan started the ten-minute countdown on his phone, determined to keep his promise to Oliver.

Leaning against the wall, he held Maja tightly in his arms as the seconds ticked by. Seven minutes passed without any sign of

Oliver, causing lan's brow to furrow with concern.

Two more minutes slipped away, and still no Oliver.
