“What? It’s true and I am so proud of you”

He gives me a mischievous smile and I just know he got me right where he wanted me.

“Can I play video games then since I’m a math genius?”

I just knew it. He has been battering me up.

I sigh. “Fine, but only for an hour”

He rushes up the stairs screaming thank you over and over again making me smile in the process.

“Hey, Maria. You’re free to leave” I tell our nanny as I walk into the kitchen.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. Now go”

She smiles at me before taking her things. Fifteen minutes later she’s gone and I wish I hadn’t insisted on

her to leaving.

With Noah in his room. I was alone. I had nothing to occupy my mind and so my thoughts started running

rampant.

I was just contemplating starting dinner early when my front door opened.

“Yoohoo. Ava where are you?”

Letty voice brings a smile to my face.

“In the kitchen” I shout back.

Minutes later, she walks into the room and I am surprised to see Corrine following behind her.

“Look who I found. We got here at the same time” Letty says sitting at the kitchen island.

I’d told Letty how Corrine stood up for me against Anita. She has immediately liked her, reasoning that

anyone who stood up for me was worth her respect.

“What are you doing here?” I ask Corrine.

“Well, you gave me an inch at the restaurant and I thought to myself, she’s ready. I’ve always wanted to be

your friend, so here I am.”

There was this part of me that was sceptical. It wanted to shut her off. Instead I push it back. It was time I

stepped pushing people away.

“Well, welcome to my humble home”

She smiles and I smile back at her. Genuinely happy that she was here.

“I came for an entirely different reason. Have you seen the gossip column? It was posted like an hour

ago” Letty asks.

“No. Why?”

She hands me a phone and I read the caption. With each word I read, my mood sours.

[Billionaire Rowan Woods seen going on a lunch date with ex–wife, Ava Sharp months after their divorce

and weeks after rumours of him dating her elder sister, Emma Sharp]

Below was a picture of Rowan escorting me to the restaurant with his hand on my lower back.

“Shit” I curse. “This is going to cause unnecessary drama”

Emma was going to shit a brick. I wasn’t afraid of her, but I just didn’t want trouble. The image portrayed a

“She may be onto something. I mean why would he all of a sudden start caring for you? It doesn’t make

sense unless he already cared for you but never realized. And again why does he suddenly want to be

around you now that you’re divorced? Corrine may be right. He may have been in love with

before and it took losing you for those feelings to come to the surface”

you long

I didn’t want to listen to their nonsense. So instead of answering their questions, I change the subject.

They don’t push it and I am thankful for that.

Everything after that is perfect. I have a great time with both of them. Knowing very well that now Corrine

was part of our inner circle.

Even though everything was great, I couldn’t help thinking of what they said.

Rowan can’t possibly be in love with me. They had to be wrong because Rowan has only ever loved one woman and her name is Emma Sharp.
