Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

The crowd mingled and laughed, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and the sparkle of fine jewelry. Among them

stood Odelia, a woman of both wealth and influence. Despite her divorce from her ex-husband, she'd walked away with a hefty

settlement, retaining a significant share in the renowned jewelry company, Starlight Gem, a fierce competitor of the esteemed

Miller Group.

Odelia, though was the ex-wife of the current CEO, still held sway within the company, her voice echoing in the boardroom. She

was the kind of woman who commanded attention, her presence bolstered by her financial prowess—a trait all too common in the

elite world.

The gof Truth or Dare kicked up another notch, and poor Felix, who seemed to have the worst luck, lost yet again.

Odelia, eager to impress her new boy, asked him with a flirtatious tilt of her head, "Truth or dare for Felix?"

"Dare, definitely. Drinking is getting dull. It's tfor a real challenge. Felix, your dare is to kiss a lady for ten seconds."

The women in the room were either spoken for or someone's date for the evening. No matter who Felix chose, he'd risk offending

someone. If he dared to pick Odelia, he'd be subjected to her scorn without a doubt.

From a distance, Carol watched as Felix stiffened under the pressure. She could almost see his lips pursing in silent anger, even

with his back turned to her.

The man who had issued the dare sat smugly by Odelia's side, his face etched with arrogance. He thought, "Felix, didn't you claim

to be lofty? Didn't you despisefor? Now I want you to please a woman in front of so many people!"
