Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2227

Maggie seethed with resentment. She’d always looked down on Athena, never imagining the day would come when the person she despised most would be the one to bring her to her knees.

Damn you, Athena! If you make my life hell, I’ll return the favor—you won’t have a moment’s peace, either.

Her eyes burned with rage, and for a moment, she wanted nothing more than to storm out and confront Athena, consequences be damned.
