Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 63

Staring at the angry face of Rowan makes me wish I hadn’t opened my door. Before I can react, he pushes me inside then closes the door. He continuous pushing until we stop at the space between the foyer, kitchen and living room.

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Rowan booms, making me shiver from his anger.

“What?”

“Did you think that Emma wouldn’t tell me? Or did you think I wouldn’t notice the hand imprint left of her cheek by you”

He starts pacing. His words sink in and it dawns on me the reason why he was here.

“You don’t understand” I try to explain my reasons but he doesn’t let me.

“Understand what? That you slapped her for no apparent reason? That you accused her of being the one after you when you have no fucking proof? Or do you want me to understand all the vile things you told her” he advances, his eyes blazing.

I don’t know what she told him but I’m sure she lied and didn’t tell him everything.

“I won’t let you hurt Emma, you get me, Ava? If you so much as ever lay your filthy hands on her again, I will destroy you. Never look at her, never talk to you don’t be in the same fucking space as her” he warns, his voice dangerously low.

This was a side to Rowan I’ve never seen and for the first time in my life, I was scared of him

“Rowan, it wasn’t like that, she…”

“I’m giving you two minutes to leave before I call the cops on you.” I warn before continuing up the stairs.

I get in to my room and lock it. Minutes later I hear him leave. Once he does, I fall to the ground and break.

Rowan just destroyed me and he didn’t even need any weapon. His words have completely shattered my soul, probably leaving nothing behind.

I continue crying. The tears pouring from me endlessly. My chest felt constricted and my heart was in pieces. He broke me over lies told by a jealous woman.

I was going to pick myself up. I was going to move forward, but for every hurtful word he threw at me, Karma was going to get him and that bitch that calls herself my sister. For what he has done today, I will never forgive him nor forget.
