Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Carol had been holed up in the villa for two weeks, her cellphone powered off the entire time. She felt like she was falling apart.

Knowing herself, she should've confronted Felix right away, but she did nothing; just hid away like a coward.

Her mind was a tangle of the events that had led her here.

Listina had fallen ill, Felix was at her side, and Carol found Listina a doctor, covering over a hundred thousand dollars in medical

expenses out of her own pocket. Listina kissing Felix, her fiancé.

The human mind was a curious thing. Maybe she was subconsciously avoiding the truth, which explained why she couldn't make

sense of it all.

She remembered Listina's harsh words at the hospital, thinking she was just ranting, but what if she was telling the truth?

If this was all a scam, it would make sense. She had been such a fool. Duped emotionally, taken advantage of, and still dreaming of

marriage with Felix, she was a complete fool. She had never felt so humiliated, so foolish in her entire life.

Lately, she shut out the world - no TV, no phone, no computer. When hungry, she nibbled on crackers, when thirsty, she drank

water, and she had lost twenty pounds as a result.

Then Yolanda cknocking. She was pounding on the door like a madwoman, "Carol! Open up, it's an emergency, Carol!"

Carol's world remained in chaos, but Yolanda's voice was too loud to ignore. She sluggishly made her way towards the door.

Upon opening it, Yolanda burst in, "Carol, it's a disaster! Turn on the TV!"

For the past two weeks, Carol had avoided the television, refusing to absorb any news from the outside world.
