Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Carol clutched her cardigan with shaking hands, her heart pounding in the aftermath of the bloody spectacle that unfolded before

her.

Felix, her boyfriend, had been brutal and swift, knocking the assailant unconscious with a few well-placed punches before turning

Her face was a mask of shock and fear, but that shifted quickly to alarm as she saw Felix sprint towards her.

She barely managed to utter those words when he shielded her in his embrace, taking the fall as a rock meant for Carol's head

Pain flashed across Felix's face as he frowned and kicked away the man who had thrown the rock.

"Felix, do you even realize what you're doing? Why are you protecting her?"
