Trapped in Ex-Wife's Love
"Are you sure you can get out of this trap, Arka? The trap you created for yourself long ago."
The sentence haunted Arka's mind every time he looked at the woman who was now sitting gracefully on his lap. Amidst the glimmer of crystal lamps and the sheen of a gold dress, his ex-wife, Kania, looked like a queen who had just reclaimed her throne.
Arka knew they were no longer bound by a sacred vow.
Their divorce was final, signed on stamped paper years ago. Yet, in this private room, with the aroma of whiskey and Kania's challenging gaze, Arka once again became the helpless, foolish man.
Tonight was supposed to be the celebration of his new engagement. He was supposed to be celebrating a new chapter. But Kania's presence in the private lounge, in a high-slit dress that showed off her long legs, had ruined everything.
"You didn't have to come, Kania," Arka hissed, his voice choked.
Kania smiled cynically, caressing Arka's jaw with her cold fingers. "You're right, darling. I didn't have to come. But I had to make sure of one thing: that your heart... still belongs to me, just like before."
It turned out that getting out of the marriage was much easier than getting out of his ex-wife's love.
Will Arka continue his engagement? Or will he return to his ex-wife?
