Maggie stepped forward, looping her arm through Athena’s with the easy intimacy of old friends.
“I’m glad you’re not upset. I never imagined we’d run into each other again after all these years—and on my birthday, no less! We should definitely get together more. I hardly know anyone in Greenfield, and you and I go way back.”
“Absolutely,” Athena replied with a warm smile.
Tyler slipped an arm around Athena’s waist, visibly pleased. He hoped she’d make more friends—anything to keep her mind off Kerwin.
Kerwin’s situation was a mess. All Tyler had uncovered so far was that Marlon was behind it. And with Marlon’s influence—combined with the Olson family’s backing—it would take more than just determination to go up against them. Even Tyler found the prospect daunting; he could only hope Athena wouldn’t do anything reckless.
Maggie leaned in, her voice barely above a whisper in Athena’s ear.
“It’s been years, but I never thought you’d stoop to this—latching onto a man just to get by. I wonder if Kerwin, wherever he is, can rest in peace knowing what you’ve become.”
She twisted the knife with practiced ease, but Athena was ready for her.
“You’re about to be a married woman, Ms. Olson. Isn’t it a bit inappropriate to keep pining for someone from the past?”
The smile froze on Maggie’s lips, her mouth tightening at the edges.
Athena studied her wine glass, her words cold and cutting.
“With Marlon’s temperament, I doubt he’d appreciate his fiancée obsessing over another man. And from what I hear, you don’t have much standing in the Olson family. Abner barely seems to notice you.”

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
