Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2268

Tyler slipped away quickly, his disguise so flawless that he hadn't drawn any attention. Meanwhile, Athena stayed behind at the villa, waiting for Marlon. She made sure to keep in touch, sensing his growing desperation through their exchanges. But Athena felt she was missing an opportunity, a trigger that would tip the scales in her favor. Little did she know, it would come sooner than expected, and with such ruthlessness that it would leave her shattered.

Marlon's people had been searching for Maggie ever since he mentioned to Abner that he wanted to send her abroad. Although, to be honest, Abner’s search efforts were half-hearted at best. He wasn't genuinely concerned about Maggie; her fate was of little consequence to him.

Maggie, meanwhile, had been hiding among the homeless, using a stolen phone to stay off the radar. She remembered a few numbers from before, people she could trust, so she reached out for help. Her efforts bore fruit when she discovered that the person Athena had hidden away had been located. A delivery guy, who once brought takeout to that very villa, had spotted Lindsay elsewhere.

Without hesitation, Maggie headed to Lindsay’s hometown. The delivery guy worked in Greenfield, and upon returning home a few days ago, he saw Lindsay dining with some people.

Still disguised as a vagrant, Maggie approached the delivery guy. He was reluctant at first, but seeing her pay generously, he decided to spill the details.

“I’m sure it was her,” he said, “because I delivered food there several times and remembered her face. She always tried to hide it, made me wonder if she was some rich guy’s mistress, never leaving the house.”

Maggie immediately paid someone to dig into Lindsay’s background, only to find out she was just an ordinary woman with a rather tragic past. Why would Athena keep someone like her in Greenfield?

Confounded, Maggie sifted through the information she had gathered, focusing on Lindsay’s so-called husband. Rumor had it they weren't legally married, didn’t even have a marriage license, and used to be siblings—actual siblings, which was scandalous.

She changed into clean clothes and went to meet Lindsay’s brother. When she knocked on the door, he answered quickly. Despite his burly appearance, his actions were childlike.

Maggie studied him for a moment, realizing he was mentally challenged, with the intellect of a young child. Her eyes gleamed with opportunity.
