Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

[YES…Which is embarrassing given I’m in a squad car and I’m sure my partner noticed my

hard dick] 1

I laugh at that. Unable to contain my happiness. Ethan was good at making me feel

special. He made me feel like a queen, unlike Rowan who had always made me feel like I

was unwanted and unloved.

[You poor baby, maybe I can make you feel better later on]

You’re up for that? I was rough last night, are you sure you aren’t sore] he texts back.

I answer with another smiley face. [I’m sure..don’t worry about it!

His reply comes back a few minutes later.

(I guess I need to up my game…the goal was to make sure you remembered each and

every thrust with every step you took]

Finishing my breakfast, I place the dishes on the sink. Making a mental note to wash them

later.

[You can make it up to me later]

When he doesn’t reply for a while, I decide it was time for me to leave. I take what I need,

close my house and get into my car.

I was feeling giddy as I drove to my destination. For once in a long time, I feel like things

were falling into place. It doesn’t take me long to get to Hope House.

Hope House is a masterpiece, boasting of a sleek and contemporary design. It features

clean lines and large glass window. The exterior is painted in soft inviting color palettes

that blends in with the lush green surrounding.

As you approach the house, a long tree lined driveway welcomes you, leading up to an

impressive entrance adorned with a grand double–height glass door flanked by tall

ornamental columns.

When you step inside, you are greeted by a breathtaking foyer with a soaring ceiling and

an exquisite chandelier that sparkles like a thousand diamonds.

The interior of the house is designed with both beauty and functionality. The living room is

flooded with natural light and it features plush and comfortable sofas arranged in a way

that creates a cozy gathering.

The kitchen is a chef’s dream with a state of the art appliances, marble countertops and a

large island with barstool seating.

Hope House includes numerous spacious bedroom, each uniquely decorated according to

each child’s preference, ensuring that each one of them has a personalized and

comfortable place to call their own.

It also has recreational areas like a game room, home theatre, library, gym, an indoor

swimming pool and a playground with swings and slides.

All Hope Houses are built on acres of land and with the same design. We pride ourselves in

offering the best to these kids,

When I asked my architect to come up with the design, I wanted these kids to have a

place they would be proud to call home,

A part from Noah, Hope Foundation was my other pride and joy. It always makes me happy

that Tut able to change their lives.

I’m greeted by the little kids when I get to the living room. Today was a lazy day. Where

they all

got to relax and just chill.

I hug as many as I can before moving forward.

“Hi Ava” the older ones who were relaxing in the sofas greet me in unison.

I smile at them and then greet them back.

“Does anyone know where Mary is?” I ask them.

“She’s in the office” Kira, a seventeen year old who was kicked out by her parents after

getting

pregnant answers.

She got pregnant at fifteen and she has been with us for two years. She decided to keep

her baby

and we accepted her decision. Monica, her baby girl was a breath of fresh. She was the

liveliest

baby I’ve ever met and everyone just adores her.

I thank her and walk to the office. I get more greetings from the other kids and the stuff.

I find Mary seated at the desk with a magazine. She looks up and smiles.

“You face is plastered all over the magazines” she says as she hands me the one she was

reading.

The front page is a picture of me giving my speech yesterday.

AVA SHARP TURNS OUT TO BE THE MYSTERIOUS FOUNDER OF HOPE FOUNDATION, THE

LARGEST MOST SUCCESSFUL CHILDREN’S FOUNDATION IN THE COUNTRY.

I read the caption and snort before dropping the magazine.

“There are several more magazines with more or less the same title” she says spreading

the magazines across the tables. “Some of the things written and speculated are hilarious,

you should

read them” t

I shake my head “No, I really don’t care what they have to say…can we just focus on

work?”

“Sure” she answers pushing the magazines aside.

“Give me the report so far”

“Everything is good. The party was a success and as of yesterday the donations have

doubled”

She hands me some papers and I go through them. I was impressed with their progress. I

know

donate to be seen, but I don’t care. Provided the money was helping these kids then I

didn’t care what their reasons for donating was.

“If you look here” she points at an amount in the reports, “You’ll see that your ex–husband

donated ten million dollars yesterday night”

I stare at her in shock. Rowan is our biggest donor but he has never donated that much

money in one sitting before.

“Impressive, right?” she asks smiling.

I nod my head as my eyes go back to the paper. So far, since Hope foundation started,

Rowan has donated every single month and has donated close to seventy million in total.

My phone vibrates and I take it out. I find a message from Ethan.

[Sorry beautiful, I got busy and didn’t get a chance to reply]

I was about to reply when Mary panicked voice calling out my name makes me look up.

Her face was shrouded in fear and terror.

“What is it, Mary? I ask feeling my anxiety spike.

“Y–Your…” she stammers

“Spit it out” I command her, she was going to give me a heart attack with the way she

was making me panic.

Everything inside me stills when the words finally escape her mouth.

“Your house has been torched”
