Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 349

“I’m surprised, but also impressed.” Reaper says, and I swear I could hear the amusement in his voice. “Everyone talked about how much you loved her; I didn’t think you’d ever hurt her, especially for Ava.”

“People don’t know shit.”

It’s as I said that it finally hit me. My love for Emma was completely gone. It was dead, and maybe it has been for a long time now. What I feel for Ava is stronger.

Looking back, I was infatuated with Emma and the idea of love. Plus, everyone used to say that we belonged together. That we were perfect together. I think that went to my head. I heard it said so much when we were younger that maybe it brainwashed me into thinking that it was the truth.

Everyone wanted us together, including our mothers, who pushed us to always be around each other. What if what I thought was love was nothing but an idea planted in our heads by our mothers? A fantasy they had no business pushing on us.

If it wasn’t for the constant pushing, would we have gotten together? Would we have started dating? The answer is probably a big fucking NO.

“Rowan, are you still there?”

I shake my head against the thoughts. None of that mattered. What matters is what I feel for Ava, and it’s bigger, stronger, and more than I’ve ever felt for Emma.

“Yeah, I just got lost in thoughts for a minute,” I reply

"Right,” he says, drugs the words out. “I’ve got shit to do; I’ll talk to you later.”

“Sure”

It wasn’t even ten minutes after we hung up that I got another phone call. I don’t recognize the number, but I pick it up anyway.

“Rowan, it’s Calvin.” I’m surprised, but the urgency in his voice catches my attention.

“What happened?”

“It’s Ava; she’s unconscious.”

I don’t wait for him to finish his sentence. I hang up the phone and rush out of the door. I could hear Noah calling me, but right now my mind was fully focused on getting to Ava.

After his explanation, I ignored him. My focus is wholly on Ava.

I try calling her name, but she doesn’t respond. My fear spikes even more at that. There wasn’t any visible wound, but that couldn’t be said about internal damaged.

I pull out my phone about to call an ambulance. I don’t understand why Calvin hadn’t done that in the first fucking place.

The operator had just picked up when Ava’s eyes flew open and she bolted upright with a gasp.

I hang up the phone and stare at Ava. After a few calming breaths, her eyes turned to me, and they were liquid fire. She was way beyond pissed. If she could get away with murder, I would be long dead.

“You fucking lied to me!” she screams, getting up from the bed. “We are divorced!”

Fuck. I knew this day would come, but I was still not prepared for her anger.
