Maggie was frantically elbowing the car window, struggling for control of the steering wheel. With the police hot on their tail, the driver had no choice but to abandon the route to the airport.
After a series of sharp turns, they finally shook off the cops but found themselves in the heart of the bustling city.
Maggie kicked open the car door and bolted out, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help!"
Her cries instantly drew the attention of passersby, and a group of good Samaritans quickly surrounded the bodyguards.
The bodyguards were sweating bullets, their eyes darting to the direction where Maggie had fled. Escorting a woman to the airport shouldn't have been this complicated. In hindsight, maybe they should have knocked her out, but then she wouldn't have passed airport security.
The driver hastily called Marlon, who couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
The plan was to quietly get Maggie out of town, but with her running off, it was like poking a hornet's nest.
"What am I paying you for?" Marlon fumed.
The bodyguards knew they'd screwed up, and none dared utter a word.
Marlon rubbed his temples, "Forget it. We'll get another chance. I'll talk to Abner."
As long as Abner agreed to send Maggie away, her struggles wouldn't matter.

Maggie ran as far as her legs could carry her, panting heavily.
The more disheveled she became, the more she blamed Athena. If not for Athena's sudden appearance, she'd be married to Marlon by now, living the high life instead of this constant hide-and-seek.
She was furious—deeply, bitterly furious.
Once, Athena had been nothing more than a servant at her feet. The reversal of fortune was driving her to the brink.
Ducking into a grimy alley, Maggie swapped clothes with a homeless person. When she emerged, she was almost unrecognizable in her ragged attire.

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....
