Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Athena listened as she supported the man, who was clearly drunk—he rambled on and on, answering every question she asked with nonsense.

Five million dollars...

When the elevator stopped on a certain floor, she helped him to the door. The man still had enough sense to pull out his key card, and the look he gave her left no doubt about his intentions.

Athena knew exactly what he wanted, but she wasn't in the mood.

She took the card from his hand and was about to unlock the door when someone stopped her, grabbing her wrist.

She turned and saw Tyler.

He pressed his lips together, silent, and pulled her firmly into his arms.

Athena stumbled against his chest. The actor beside her hadn't expected anyone to intervene. When he recognized Tyler's face, he sobered up in an instant.

"Mr. Bennitt?"

Tyler gripped Athena's shoulders and led her back toward the elevator.

She hadn't planned on doing anything with that actor anyway, so she didn't resist.

Inside the elevator, Tyler stayed silent. Still, it was obvious from his tense posture that he was struggling with his emotions.

When the doors slid open again, he finally spoke.
