Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 58

I wanted to reach out and hold him but he was thousands of miles away.

“I’m so sorry, baby…May be he got caught up with work”

“But he promised me!” he shouts through the screen. “He said he will never break his promises and he did” he was full crying now and it tore me down to pieces.

Mother and Joyce, Rowan’s mom came to comfort him. I wanted to be there for him and it killed me that I couldn’t.

“He’ll make it up to you, my love…remember he loves you and he has never missed any of your functions” I try to soothe him.

He doesn’t answer. Just continues staring into nothing with silent tears running down his face. He looks so lost. When he doesn’t move or say anything, Joyce tells me that they'll look after him before ending the call.

I stomp out of the school and head towards the parking lot. Most cars were already gone.

I was just about to get into my own when I see Rowan’s black Mercedes drives in. He parks, gets out and rushes to me.

“I’m so fucking sorry I’m late…is the meeting over?” he was dressed casually, something that is very rare for him.

“Obviously, given it’s almost six thirty… four fucking hours after you were supposed to be here” I shout.

I was so pissed that I contemplated on murder

“I know you’re angry, but…”

“Angry doesn’t begin to cover what I fucking feel right now Rowan”

“But that’s the thing it’s already happened, what’s stopping it from happening again?”

He doesn’t answer. Just stares at me with a scowl on his face and fire burning behind his eyes.

“I won’t let you hurt my son Rowan, whether internationally or unintentionally. Noah’s comes first and if you can’t put him first then give me full custody. I had to watch his heart break when he realized you weren’t coming. Let this be the first and last time you hurt him, because if you do I will fight you.

Noah is my son, my world. Hurt him again and I will forget you’re his father. Doesn’t matter if you own this city, I will rain so much hell on you, you’ll be left wishing you never met me. Don’t fucking mess with me” I let my anger and determination seep into my voice.

He looks taken aback by my outburst and threat. He stares at me like he didnt know who I was. I ignore that look.

With that final warning I get in my car and leave. I drive to the only person I know can cure me of the pain and anger I was feeling right now.
