Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Felix's voice broke through the silence, and it was tinged with a hint of disappointment. "Were you expecting someone else, Carol? Sad to see it's just me?" Carol took a step back, but the door behind her was already shut.

Suddenly, he flung the covers aside and strode toward her. His grip was firm on her wrist as he tossed her onto the bed.

Carol's back throbbed from the impact, and as she attempted to rise, she felt his hand clamp around her neck, pinning her down. Being completely immobilized, she looked up at the furious man above her.
