Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Listina didn't want to give up. This was her golden opportunity, after all.

In a moment of boldness, she shed every article of clothing and dropped to her knees in what could only be described as a compromising position.

"Felix, look at me," she pleaded, her voice laced with desperation. "Why bother bringing Carol back? She's just going to be a third wheel. Look at me, Felix. Whatever she can do, I can do too." But Felix averted his gaze, while clenching his hand tightly around the bed-sheets.

So lucid that Carol's rejection struck him with sobering clarity.

"Call her," he insisted.

When he dialed her number, she wouldn't pick up.

Listina, who was completely bare, was incensed to see that Felix remained unmoved, not even sparing her a glance. The outrage boiled within her.

Why? Why, at this pivotal moment, did he crave Carol? Rising to her feet, Listina attempted to approach him once more but was stopped short by his words.

"Listina, I only want Carol." Her pupils shrank, and her mind reeled in disbelief.
