Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 216

Chapter 216

But quickly, my laughter stopped, and my humor disappeared. I remembered the reason that I had called my friend in the first place. What if Ethan was waiting at Alexander’s door so that he could fight him?

Just the thought of something happening to Alexander made cold fear shoot down my spine. And to make matters worse, he could get hurt because of his involvement with me. I didn’t have any doubt that Alexander could hold his own against Ethan, but I knew my ex- husband. He never fought fair and wasn’t afraid to fight dirty. I wasn’t sure if he even knew the word honorable.

“Please, Ava, just find a way to get rid of Ethan by whatever means necessary,” I said and opened the cooler’s door and grabbed Alexander a water bottle. Then, I walked around the store and just put random stuff in my basket to explain my long absence. I wasn’t even looking at the things I was buying.

Alexander’s face was unreadable when he held the boxes of condoms in his hands. “Care to explain?”

Frantically, I searched my mind for an explanation. “Um, well, I wanted a box of a certain type of candy, and I guess I just grabbed the Wrong box.”

“Ava,” I answered, knowing that the truth was best in this situation.

I knew that he wasn’t too happy with me for talking behind his back. Tonight, back at his hotel, it felt like we had been the most honest that we had been with each other ever. But now that he caught me being secretive, it seemed like all the progress we had made had been wiped clean, and now we were back at square one.

We began to walk down the street again, and the mood between us was ice cold. I tried to think of a way to lighten things up again. I pulled out the bar of chocolate from the bag and offered it to him.
