Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Pregnant and confined to the quietude of her home, Maja dared not inquire about the whereabouts of her husband, lan. Yet, while

she nursed her solitude, he was out gallivanting with other women, even neglecting to return to their shared abode in Greenfield

Gardens.

A surge of fury bolted through Maja from the soles of her feet, clouding her judgment with a haze of blind rage.

The slap almost sent lan, still recovering from a recent illness, into unconsciousness.

Upon recognizing Maja, panic flared in his eyes. "Maja?"

Words swirled in her mind, a tempest of accusations and pain, but faced with the stark reality before her, what could she possibly

say?
