Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Arter Felix left the hotel, his phone buzzed with a call from Nathan.

"Hey Felix, where you at? You didn't crash at your place last night?"

"Yep."

Felix flicked his lighter and lit up a cigarette, expertly exhaling rings of smoke. "How'd you know I didn't make it home?"

"Well, I swung by your pad last night. I brought sburgers for late-night grub, but you were MIA, so I just wolfed it down solo.

Did you finally seal the deal with that heiress you've been chasing? The Miller Group's golden girl?"

Nathan was in the loop about Felix's latest conquest, the sole heiress of the affluent Miller Group. Hooking up with her could be a

gchanger - it could mean getting his foot in the door of a fortune.

The CEO of the Miller Group was known for doting on his only child, the apple of his eye.

"l didn't."

Felix was blunt, a glance at the sky told him it was tto wrap this up. "We'll talk when I get back."

It was Saturday, and Nathan had the day off, so he lingered at hwaiting for Felix.

Felix arrived swiftly, bumping into Nathan by the dumpsters. Nathan was tossing out the trash, navigating around puddles of filthy

water that demanded careful stepping to avoid.

His face lit up at the sight of Felix.

"Coming straight from the hotel, huh? Spill it, man, did you really resist the temptation? You've got sserious willpower if you

passed up a night with Miss Miller. You toldshe wasn't exactly the shy type."

"She's not," Felix admitted, recalling Carol's forward advances with a visible distaste.

Nathan's face soured with envy. "Man, I swear, if I had your looks, I'd be juggling girlfriends left and right."

Nathan was your average Joe, standing at five foot nine, the epitof ordinary. But he was Felix's best bud - the brother he never

had.

They strolled to Nathan's place in the alley, a humble, snug home, but it was his - no rent like Felix had to deal with.
