Chapter 0286
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just called her parents because she fainted while in the washroom.” She tries to stay calm, but I can hear the tremble in her voice.
“Is that right?”
“Yes. She collapsed and it didn’t feel right leaving her there so I called her parents over.”
I’ve known Emma for a long time. She might have changed, but not by much. I can easily tell that she was
lying to me.
“If that’s the case, then why does she have a wound on the back of her head?”
She tries to remove my hands from her jaw, but I hold on steadfast. I was hurting her, but I didn’t give a
flying fuck. Not when she’d hurt my woman.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just found her in there, lying on the floor.” She tries to defend
herself, but her eyes betray her.
“And what were you doing in the same restaurant as her?” I wanted to get the full picture.
Was this premeditated? Or was it something that happened on the spur of the moment?
“Christine and I met up for lunch.” She stutters. “We didn’t know that Ava and her parents would be eating
there too.”
She really wasn’t doing a good job at trying to hide wrongdoing.
At the mention of Christine, and knowing now that the bitch also hated Ava, a picture of what happened
was already starting to form in my head.
“I’m giving you one last chance to tell the truth about what the fuck happened, or I swear you won’t like what I do to you,” I snarl, feeling my patience reach its limit.
I swear, I don’t know.”
Tell me the fucking truth, Emma!” I yell, the sound echoing throughout the room.
Travis tries to defend his sister “Maybe she honestly doesn’t know.”
“Shut the fuck up, Trevor. I wasn’t talking to you.
My grip on her jaw tightens. I swear I would never hit a woman, but right now I was very tempted.
eyes fill with tears, but they don’t move me. Everything I had for her was now dead and gone. He
I didn’t mean to,” she sobs. “I swear, I didn’t mean to.”
“What the hell did you do, Emma?” Travis asks, fear lacing his voice.
“I shoved her… I can’t even remember what she said to me, but I got really angry and shoved her hard.
I let go of her as if she’d burned. The action was so forceful that she stumbled a bit before righting herself.
Travis tries to get his sister out of my grasp, but it’s no use. I shove him back, making him fall on the
hurt today, and instead of admitting your actions, you decided to be a fucking coward.”
She tries to speak, but I don’t let her. Letting go of her hair, I grab her neck.
Tears continue falling down her face, as if what I said was tearing her into pieces.
“Second, you made the biggest mistake of your life when you hurt Ava. I don’t fucking care if it was an accident or not. You will pay for hurting her. Third, I don’t want to see you anywhere near Ava. You see her in a room. Walk out. You see her walking in your direction; you avoid her. I don’t care if you have to jump in front of a bus to do it; as long as I don’t find out you were in the same vicinity as her, am I clear?”
“Y–yes” she says, nodding her head eagerly as tears continue to fall down her cheeks.
I let go of her, and she gasps. Taking in as much precious oxygen as she could.
Turning around, I don’t give her another look as I head out of the door.
is that it? Travis asks almost fearfully. “Is she forgiven?”

“Not by a long shot.” I give Emma a disgusted look before looking at Travis, “You should have warned your sister not to cross me. Now she’s going to learn the hard way what happens when you mess with
- me.
With that, I walk out of their house and make a call. After this, if Emma is intelligent, she’ll stay away from
me and mine, or I swear I will destroy her.
