Ex-Husband's Regret (by Evelyn M.M) novel Chapter 91

I was shopping for furniture, but my mind wasn’t in it. I bought a new house. It was perfect for me and it suited my style. Simple yet cozy. It was in a great neighborhood and was even closer to Noah’s school. I loved it the moment I saw it. It also had a big backyard where Noah could play unlike our previous house.

“Are you even paying attention?” Letty asks in annoyance.

She was helping me pick furniture my new home. It has been three days since I bought it and yet it was sitting completely empty. I didn’t even have a bed for heaven’s sake. I’ve been sleeping on a make shift bed on the floor.

“I’m sorry, Letty…I just have too much on my mind” I apologize.

When you have someone trying to kill you, most other things usually take a back seat. They don’t seem as important as trying to stay a live long enough to see you child grow up.

I still get chills knowing that I was close to dying. Again. That someone deliberately set a fire to my house. That they wanted me burned alive. What kind of a sick person does that?

Plus it can’t be a coincidence that the day of the dinner party someone chased me. Only to have my house burned down the next day.

“Is it because of your house?” her voice is full of sympathy.

I clench my hands in fist. “Yes! And not only that, it’s everything. It just makes me so angry. Four times, Letty! They’ve tried killing me four times and from what I see they don’t plan on stopping until i'm dead. I just want to be left the fuck alone” I take a deep breath.

The people around as stare at us at my outburst, but I don’t give a shit about the scathing looks.

I sometimes felt so lost. I can’t bring my son back home even though I miss, because I don’t want to put him in any danger. I haven’t held or kissed my baby boy in weeks.

“What terrifies me is what if they succeed? I haven’t see Noah in three months, Letty. Seeing him on video calls isn’t the same as holding him in my arms. What if they succeed and I never get to see or hold him again?” I ask, fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

“Uh…I don’t know what to say” she looks at me awkwardly
