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

his attention to her.

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

"Watch out!"

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

struck his own.

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

The man lay on the ground, howling in pain, his eyes wide with disbelief.

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

Carol, seeing Felix move to confront the man again, panicked and pulled him back.

"Stop, Felix, please. I'm okay, really. Let's not make this any worse."

She had seen Felix in fights before, where he always seemed in control, but tonight he seemed desperate.

The man tried to speak again but was silenced as Felix's cold boot connected with his chin, dislocating his jaw with a sickening

crack.

Felix's eyes were dark with anger, blood trickling from a wound on his head.

Carol felt a wave of distress wash over her; she was the reason he was hurt.

Trembling and scared, she quickly turned to the taxi driver who was still in a daze nearby.
