Ex-Husband's Regret (Ava and Rowan) novel Chapter 93

“You expect me to believe that bullshit? You were always obsessed with him” she says sneering and I snort in return.

“And now it looks like you’re the one obsessed with him…now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go. You’ve already wasted enough of my time”

“I’m not done talking to you, you bitch”

I ignore her but her next words make me freeze.

“I swear, Ava, if you walk away, I will find that bastard son of yours and make him pay for everything. After all, he is the other reason I lost everything”

I hear a sharp gasp from Travis, but it doesn’t register in my mind.

I don’t think when I move.

I twist around and push her. Slamming her against a van. I use my forearm on her neck, pinning her to the van and choking the daylights from her.

The self-defense classes I took were paying off and as of a week ago, I was a licensed gun holder. Ethan advised me to start carrying it around after the fire at my house.

Nothing registers when I take my gun and point it to her temple.

“If you ever and I mean ever threaten Noah again and I will end you. I will bury your body so deep it will take a century to dig it up. Don’t fuck with me Emma. I’ve tolerated you enough and it ends today” I snarl, feeling crazed.

“Ava…let her go” Travis pleads with fear in his voice.

He looks heartbroken but I don’t give a fuck. He made his views known when he tried making me feel bad and completely ignored the threat Emma made.

“As for you” I turn to Emma. “Think long and hard about ever going against me. I’m not the same pathetic girl you left behind, push me too hard and I’ll push back. Trust me when I say you won’t like it when I retaliate”

She’s shaking. Looking at me with wide and terrified eyes. Her eyes are drawn to my hand when I put the gun back inside the waist band of my jeans.

I turn to leave but before I do, I give her one last look.

“What have you became? Going around threatening innocent children and all for what? A man? You’ve changed so much I hardly recognize you and despite being jealous of you when we were younger, I also admired you. Ask yourself, are you still the woman Rowan fell in love with years ago? Or have you become someone he can never love?”

With that I walk away. Hoping that Emma will realize what she’s become before it’s too late and she does something she can’t take back or worse, hurts someone innocent.
