Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 100

Ava

It’s been about two months after my house was burned to the ground. So far nothing has happened to me in those few months.

There hasn’t been any more attacks. It’s been quiet and I was hoping the bastard had given up on killing me.

The chief told me not to get my hopes high. He advised to stay on guard and be on the lookout.

According to him, such people don’t give up easily. He told me that he or she was probably bidding their time. Planning. Waiting for the perfect time to attack.

I get what he was saying, but it’s hard not to have hope when they have been quiet. It's easy to relax and let my guard down when it seems like they’ve left me alone.

These past few months have been the best of my life. Of course it can’t compare to those moments I’m with Noah, but they have been pretty great nonetheless.

What made them the best was Ethan. Every moment I’ve been with him has taught me something new about myself.

I love being around him and if I'm honest with myself, then I’ll admit that I’ve developed feelings for him.

He’s everything I’ve ever wanted Rowan to be. Kind, loving and attentive. Not to mention that the sex is amazing. I see the soft look in his eyes as he stares at me and I always fucking hope that he feels the same way I do.

I can see myself building a life with him. That is if he wants me.

Most would probably say that I'm moving too fast. Maybe I am, but I don’t think so. I’ve wasted nine years loving a man that didn’t deserve my love. Nine years with a man that hated me. Of course when I get a chance to be happy I’m going to grab it with both hands. It’s not even something to think about or debate.

My phone ringing brings me out of my happy thoughts of Ethan. I was a woman on cloud nine and nothing could bring me down.

“Where the hell are you?” Letty’s screaming voice comes through the speaker.

We were having our weekly meet up and I was a little bit late. Blame it on Ethan and his expert tongue.

“Chill woman. I’m just pulling up” I roll my eyes even though she can’t see me.

Letty doesn’t like lateness, which is funny because she’s late like eighty percent of the time.

“Fine!” She huffs before hanging up.

I park my car and get out. Rushing into the club, I spot her in the VIP section almost immediately.

“It really is” I answer in amazement.

It is just as I like it. Nice and sweet. I don’t like the bitter taste of alcohol. That’s why I rarely have it. If I can get one that tastes like this one though, then I’m all for drinking.

“So, how have things been?” I ask her after a while.

“Not bad, but it has been a hectic week” she answers with a sigh.

“Anything I can help with?”

“If you can give me an extra pair of hands, legs and a new brain then yes” she leans back against the couch.

I chuckle. “Now that’s something I can’t help you with”

“And you? Have you managed to get in touch with Rowan?” She inquires.

Since the day he and Ethan fought, I haven’t been able to get in touch with him. Even when it’s concerning Noah. When I call he doesn’t pick up. When I send him a message I get a response from his lawyer instead.
