Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 85

“He’ll never find out, you know why? Because he’ll believe whatever I tell him. That’s how much he trusts me”

“A trust you’ve broken countless of times.” Ava lets out a breath. “Rowan is my least favorite person and I would gladly push him off a cliff for what he has put me through, but he doesn’t deserve to be blindsided by the woman he loves. The woman he has faithfully loved for years. It’s unfair to him”

With that she again goes to step around Emma but she grabs her hand again.

“Let me go or I swear I’ll have my men kick you out like I did with Christine and Brenda” Ava warns, a dangerous tone in her voice.

I step out of the shadows. It was time for Emma and I to have a little chat.

“That won’t be necessary. I promise I will deal with her”

They both turn to me. Ava gets out of Emma’s hold and leaves without giving us a second glance. Emma is frozen. Looking like a deer caught in headlights.

“How long have you been standing there?” she asks, her voice trembling.

“Long enough to know that you’ve been lying to me” I snarl, completely pissed off. “Now I want you to tell me the truth right now, dare lie to me Emma and I fucking swear you won’t like it”

She swallows before hesitantly nodding.

“Did Ava slap you two weeks ago?” I ask, my jaw clenched.

“Yes?”

“Why?”

She doesn’t say anything. Just stares at the ground. It’s fucking funny how she had a lot to say to Ava, but now she was all of a sudden mute.

“Fucking answer me Emma!” I boom, startling.

She had to realize I wasn’t a boy anymore. I wasn’t the same guy that would ignore her flaws because he loved her.

“B-because…” she doesn’t finish the sentence. Her mouth clamps shut and she looks at me with tears filling her eyes.
