Ex-Husband's Regret

Vicious Ava
Rowan.

I see the moment she shuts her emotions down. The moment the warm look she had just a few

seconds ago turns cold. Which leaves me cold.

“What are you doing here?” Ava asks her voice monotonous as I push my way into her house.

It’s like she was talking to a stranger. Like I was nothing but a speck of dust and nothing more. I stare at her unable to come up with anything. I’ve lived with this woman for almost a decade and

yet right now I can’t find the right words.

I look at her hand still in a sling. I came to check up on her and also to pick Noah. It was the

weekend so it was my time with him.

Remembering the man that I saw leaving, my brows furrow. He must be who the smile was for.

That little piece of realization makes my jaw clench.

“What was he doing here?” I ask instead of answering while trying to hide the unreasonable anger

I was feeling.

I get the guy is an officer and that he saved her life but he was crossing a line. I didn’t fucking like

him and I didn’t want him anywhere near Ava.

“That’s none of your business” she retorts.

“It is my business when you’re entertaining.men this early in the morning with my son in the house….did he sleep over? Is that why I saw him leaving?”

The thought of that leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. The last thing I want is for her to be exposing Noah to men months after we separated. It wouldn’t leave a good impression on the type

of woman she is.

She gives a humorless laugh, pulling me back to the present.

“It’s not any of your fucking business…do you see me meddling in your life while you’re busy entertaining Emma? And isn’t it hypocritical of you to stand there judging me?”

I glare at her. “Emma is different”

“How so?” she first feigns puzzlement and then her face lights up as if she figured out something. but I know it’s mockery. “Oh, I forgot she’s the love of your fucking life”

I grind my teeth She was starting to piss me off. What the hell was wrong with her? It’s like she

has something against me.

“I’ll never do anything that would affect Noah but I’m a single woman and I will have whoever!
