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.

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

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.
