Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 75

We get there on time, and I let out a breath of relief. The car stops, and I get out, then I help Emma get out. The cameras begin flashing the minute we step onto the red carpet.

‘Mr. Woods, is it true that you’re now with Emma Sharp, your ex-wife’s sister?’ one reporter asks

‘Some say that Miss Emma is the love of your life while circumstances forced you to be with Ava sharp’ another flings.

‘Where is your ex-wife, Mr. Woods?’

‘Miss Emma, how does it feel to be with a man who was once married to your sister? They even have a son together’

I feel Emma’s grip tightening on my forearm when they ask her that question. I lead her away as they throw question after question at us. Finally, we get to the entrance and are welcomed in.

The organizer did a wonderful job. I wasn’t into this kind of shit, but the place looked amazing. We are led to our table. We find Gabe, Travis, Letty, and Christine already seated.

I don’t bother greeting anyone, unlike Emma. I just help Emma into her seat, then I take my own.

My mind wasn’t here. My thoughts revolved around Ava and her safety. I couldn’t even focus on the conversation around the table—that's until her name is mentioned.

“What the fuck is Ava doing here?” I look up to find Emma staring daggers behind me.

I turn in that direction to find Ava standing with Ethan. She looked like a fucking goddess with her long, curled brown hair and a glittering gold dress. I’ve never seen her like this. She looked absolutely breath-taking. As much as I tried, I couldn’t take my eyes off her.

Why the hell have I never heard her say such things before now? Had I been that blind and stupid?

Letty snorts. “We also know that you wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for your association to Rowan. Same with you Emma, you only got invited because of Rowan despite you family’s name, so why don’t you shut your fucking mouth and stop acting like you’re the queens here”

“Letty…” Travis growls.

“No! Christine is here badmouthing Ava because, just like Emma, she’s jealous of her. Tell me, Christine, what are you except for a highly paid secretary? What connections do you have? None! You were nothing before Rowan hired you, just a cheap slut that made her way to the top by sleeping with her former bosses.” Letty then turns to Emma

“And you? When are you going to grow the fuck up? Nine fucking years and you’re still a bitter spoilt brat. Ava made a mistake, get over it and stop acting like the world ended. The sun doesn’t revolve around you so instead of trying your hardest to put your sister down why don’t you focus on your relationship with Rowan which by the looks of things, isn't even working”
