Chapter 0197
I look to the heavens before calming myself. I didn’t need a lot of stress right now.
“Hello Christine, hello Emma,” I say in a controlled voice.
I didn’t want to deal with drama today. So I was going to be as civil as I could, then
remove myself from
this situation.
Christine scoffs, but I don’t pay her any attention. My focus was on Emma. She still had
the sling around. her shoulder. Seeing it there reminded me of that day. The way she
willingly took a bullet for me.
I wanted to reach out to her after that incident, but I wasn’t sure if my actions would be
welcomed. In her eyes, I was probably still her nemesis.
My eyes pierces hers. “I never got the chance to thank you for what you did, but I’ll
forever be grateful,” I tell her, motioning to her shoulder.
I don’t know what I expected, but it wasn’t for her to scoff at me in disdain. Sure, I know
we would never be the best of friends, but I had hoped that with what happened to us, we

“I don’t need your F***ing thanks, and what the hell made you think that I got shot for
you?” she asks, her
face scrunching up in disgust.

I sigh and shake my head. I guess nothing has changed. The bitch I was used to was firmly
back in place.
“Whatever Emma, I’m still thankful.”
Corrine and Letty look behind them when they realize that I’m not following them. They
stop before. turning back. A murderous look on both their faces.
I’ve known them for a short time, but F*** do I love my friends.
“What the hell is going on here? You better not be causing trouble for Ava, or I swear I’ll
destroy you,”
Corrine warns, her voice taking a deadly tone.
“Oh, look, our mousy Ava went and got herself some friends; how nice,” Christine mocks. I
could literally
taste the bitterness in her voice.
Letty steps towards them, her hands fisted, but I stop her. I didn’t need a fight right now.
What I needed.
was peace and tranquility.
“She’s not worth it, Letty. She’s nothing but a resentful, hateful bitch.” I tell my friend,
pleading with my
eyes to let it go.
“I’m not worth it?” Christine scoffs, turning towards Emma before looking back at me.
“You’re the one who isn’t worth it. You’re unwanted and hated. No one in your family likes
you. As if that isn’t bad enough, you also spread your legs for anyone. Do you even know
who your baby’s father is?”
Throwing my hands up in the air, I turn towards my friends. “Why the hell does everyone
think I’m a whore? I’ve slept with two men. Two F***ing men! If that makes me a whore,

“You bitch!” she screams, shards of hatred directed at me.
“What? I’m telling the truth. I am damn sure you have slept with most of the eligible
married and
unmarried men in this city.”
“Shut up!” she screams, losing it. “It’s because of you that I lost my job! You made Rowan
fire me.”
To be honest, I laugh at that. It was so funny and so silly. Like could she seriously hear
herself? She
wasn’t making any sense.
“I can’t make Rowan do anything even if I wanted to! He fired you because he realized
what a lousy human being you are.”
“I’m gonna kill you,” she yells again.
She steps forward to attack me, but Emma stops her. Her action surprises me, but I don’t
let it linger too
much in my brain. I was done with confusing behaviors from those around me.
I totally ignore Christine as she curses me and focus on Emma.
