Ava.

“W–what?” I stammer, looking at Rowan in complete shock.

I couldn’t have heard him correctly. The Rowan I knew would have done anything for

Emma, Including

sacrificing me.

My heart beats wildly as I stare at his blank face.

“You heard me, Ava” he repeats. No trace of lying in his voice. “If it had to come to it, I

would have gladly

let her die if it meant saving you”

At first I thought that he’d lied so I wouldn’t feel bad. After all, who likes knowing that the

man she spent almost a decade with would gladly save another woman?

I thought he was saying that just to spare my feelings. Looking at his face though, I realize

that he was telling the truth. It was written on his face and in his eyes. Besides, when has

Rowan ever spared my feelings? He’s never shied away from telling how it is so why would

he start lying now?

I release a deep breath and untangle my hands from his. It felt too intimate. I already had

so much thoughts dancing in my head. I didn’t need his warm hands confusing me more.

“You don’t mean that I tell him after a while. “Emma is the woman you’ve loved since the

first time you realized what love is. You’ve been in love with her for so many years, how

then can you so casually say you would sacrifice her for my sake?”

His brows draw into a frown. He goes to speak, but I interrupt him.

“I’m the one that has meant nothing to you from the start. Remember? You hate me

Rowan. You’ve hated me for years, so what the hell is going on? How can you just decide

one day that I’m more important than your precious Emma? Something is just not adding

up. You just can’t unhate me all of a sudden”

I fall back on the pillow in exhaustion. I knew what I said was the damn truth. There is just

no way all the hate, resentment and bitterness he has had for me for the past nine years

disappeared into thin air.

You just don’t wake up one day a brand new person. Intense feelings are hard to get rid of.

Hard to bury. I should know that. Didn’t I struggle with trying to kill and bury the love I had

for Rowan? Sure I managed to mask it, but it was still there. And I knew it would take a

long time before I finally rid myself of it.

Ava

He goes to say something, but I am just done. I don’t want to hear it. I don’t want him to

I know some might wonder why I would want such a thing, right? After all, isn’t this what

I’ve always. wanted? For thern to realize their mistake and crawl begging for forgiveness.

The truth is, I am just so used to their cruelty that I don’t know how to deal with this new

versions of their persona. It’s confusing because a part of me wants to let it all go and

forgive them. The other part though,

doesn’t trust their intentions.

Maybe it’s the trauma from being rejected over and over again, but I can’t trust their

towards me. It feels like a game. A game of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

“No, Rowan” I cut him off. “I’m thankful that you saved me, but please leave. You should

be by Emma’s side. That’s where you’ve always wanted to be. Emma is here and you have

waited years to be with her. Please don’t screw things up. What we had meant nothing. It

was a mistake from the beginning. We both spent those nine years in misery, it’s time

each of us found our happiness right? Yours has always been with Emma, and mine…well

mine is now with my children”

He wants to argue. I see it in his eyes as the grey pools darken. Almost like there was a

storm raging inside. I still. Waiting for a fight, but it doesn’t come.

I’m surprised when he sags against his chair, before letting out a sigh.

“Alright, I leave you alone…for now” he says in a gruff voice before standing up.

I thought that would be it, but instead of leaving immediately, he bends and the k*sses

my forehead gently. Before I can say or do anything. He leaves, closing the door gently

behind him.

I’m left staring at his back. Wondering what the hell just happened. It’s not that I am not

happy he left. I am. It’s just Rowan is used to doing whatever the F*** he wants, yet he left

when I asked even though you could tell he didn’t want to.

As I slowly regain my energy, I think about what he told me. Of course it’s hard to believe

him. I mean this is Rowan we are talking about. The same Rowan that told me I could

never measure up to be like Emma or a woman he loves.

“What the hell is going on with him? I question but don’t get any answers.

Any other man I would have believed if he told me that he would give up Emma. But not

Rowan. Never Rowan.
