Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

“Of course…I mean why would anyone want to kill you? What would they gain? Rowan

doesn’t love

you so he wouldn’t care one bit if you lived or died and we also don’t care much about

you. You’re

insignificant so you death would mean nothing to us” she looks at me with scorn.

I have never wanted to hit anyone like I wanted to hit her right now.

“So you came here to insult me is that it, Emma? Beat the dog while it’s still down, that’s

you

plan?”

Why the hell was she even here? Who let her in, I wanted her gone. I didn’t want her near

me, who knows what she’ll do once I’m a sleep. 1

“I’m not doing anything, just saying things like they are. I hope that gang doesn’t kill you

first, I mean, I want you to watch as I take everything away from you just like you did me,

including your son. He will soon be calling me mom”

How the hell were we even related? I know what I did to her was wrong but damn haven’t I

been

“You’re a nasty bitch Emma, but know one thing, Noah will never see you as his mother.

don’t you

remember how he ignored you at the airport. You’re nothing to him and you will be

nothing even

if you and Rowan married”

Her face scrunches up. Anger taking’over the triumphant look she had seconds ago.

“That’s fine…at least it’s my name Rowan is screaming at night, I will make sure he pumps

me so full of his cum that I get pregnant and when I do he will soon forget about you and

that brat. I will

make sure the only children he acknowledges are mine, after all we both know he has

never loved you, every time he was touching you he was probably imagining me, how

many times has he called my name while you two were in bed?” 1

I ignore the rest of what she says even though it hurts. My main concern being Noah. I see

red when he calls Noah a brat. Taking the flower vase near me, I lunge it at her head. With

a scream she ducks and the vase hits the wall just as Travis enters the room.

“Are you crazy?!” Emma screams.

“Both of you, get out of my room now!” I scream back.

Then nurse enters looking at us hysterically.

“Ava, what’s wrong?” Travis asks gently but I don’t want his gentleness.

I can’t help remember all those times he treated me like trash. All those times made me

feel like scum instead of his sister. All those times he rubbed his love for Emma in my face

while treating me like I was nothing.

“Why don’t you ask you fucking sister” I glare at him and Emma before turning to the

nurse.

Please make them leave, I don’t want them here”

My head was pounding and my heart monitor was speeding up.

The nurse turns to face them. “I’m going to ask you to leave, your presence is clearly

affecting her and she shouldn’t be under any stress.”

“She’s my sister, you can’t kick me out of her room!” Travis growls,

– I scoff at that. Since when has he ever considered me his sister?

“I’ll call the security if you don’t leave” the nurse says between clenched teeth. All traces

of being nice completely gone. 1

“Ava, please” he begs, but I don’t have it in me.

They have taken everything I gave them and kept throwing it back at my face. I had

nothing else to give I was empty where my love for them once stood.

“Just leave Travis, and make sure you and your sister stay away from me”

+15 BONUS

With that I turn to my side, close my eyes and block them out. It takes a lot of back and

forth

between the nurse and Travis but they soon leave and I’m left in peace. That is until Ethan

comes

and makes me laugh for the first time since everything happened.

“What did you say? Rowan voice pulls me back to the present.

“I asked if you’re ready to leave” he repeats

I stare at him for a while wondering if Emma was right Would Rowan really abandon Noah?

I

wanted to believe that he wouldn’t but I’m not sure. Emma was and is important to Rowan

Really

important I just don’t know if her importance weighed more than Noah’s

“What are you doing here, Rowan?” I ask instead of the question I really wanted to ask

“What do you mean? he frowns

“We both know that I’m your least favorite person, so what are you doing here? Shouldn’t

you be with Emma at home enjoying your reunion?” I ask bitterly, Emma’s word still

playing in my head

He sighs “You’re looking for a fight and I’m not going to give it to you. let’s just get you

discharged and get you home”

“I don’t need help from a man who hates my fucking guts! Just leave, Rowan, we both

know you

would rather be somewhere else”

“Really? You don’t need my help? Who are you going to call to help you check out? You

literary

have no fucking friends, Ava”

“Ethan Ethan can take me home” It’s true I had no friends, but Ethan would come it I

asked him

for help

Rowan face shuts down and becomes hard as granite. His hands fists and his jaw locks.

“Over my dead fucking body” he growls “You have two choices. Ava, it’s either I take you

home of

you spend a few more days here at the hospital Either way, that bastard isn’t taking you

home”

Cerignisly, Howan, what is wrong with you? You couldn’t wait to get rid of me and now

you’re

stuck to me like a bad rash the last thing I want is problems with Emina because of you I

just

want to live peacefully”

He needed to leave me the hell alone I don’t want to be accused of trying to use my

unfortunate

Circumstances to seduce him

“Speaking of which, what happened between you and Emma on the day of your attack

and when

+15 BONUS

“I’m sure she has already filled you in” with lies, I add to myself.

“I would like to hear you side of the events”

I

get out of the bed slowly and walk towards the bathroom. “There’s no need, we both know

you

wouldn’t believe me. Like always you will take her side” 3

“Ava…” I shut the door before he can finish.

I slowly dress up. I’m out of breath by the time I am done and so tired I can barely see

straight.

Getting out, I use the wall for support. Rowan tries to help but I shake off his hand. I walk

towards

the wheel chair the nurse left and sit down on it. The doctor had been by to leave

instructions so

all that was left was to check out.

I pick my duffel bag and place it on my lap.

“Can we get going, that way we don’t have to be around each other longer than

necessary.” I tell

him, already feeling sleepy.

He sighs but doesn’t say anything. He wheels me out of the room and towards the

reception.

Everything from there happens in a blur. I was so tired I could barely keep my eyes open

and

finally they drop closed.

When I wake up, it’s to find myself in Rowan’s arms being carried up a familiar staircase.

“What are you doing?” I ask groggily.

“Taking you to bed, you fell asleep before we could get to my car”

The warmth or his body, and the deep baritone of his voice makes me snuggle closer. He

chuckles

when but I don’t care. He smelled great and he was so warm. My eyes close and I’m soon

lost.

Feeling like I’m floating.

I feel him placing me down on something warm. Then he joins me. Turning, I place my

head on

his chest while his arms curl gently around my waist as he brings me closer.

As I completely give in to sleep, I can’t help but think about how beautiful and right this

felt. In

this dream, Rowan doesn’t push me away. In this dream, I’m in his arms like I’ve always

wanted to

be
