Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 22

ot giving up
Emma

I haven’t moved an inch since Rowan left I felt like the walls were closing in on me and I had no

escape. No way to numb the pain I was feeling inside

Everything hurt and I didn’t even know how to stop it. I didn’t know what to do or how to react

Why was this happening to me? That’s the question I keep asking myself, but there is no ansnes for it. There is no hint on why I was still going through shit even after getting the guys

I feel the trickle of tears as they fall down my face. I hated being weak. I hated crying I rub the tears away angry at myself for letting them fall in the first place

When daddy died, I was broken. I was his princess and he was my hero I didn’t get to spend a lot of time with him because I moved to a different city, but when we did, it was awesome

I thought I wouldn’t recover his death. That there wasn’t a bright side to it. Then Powan and I

talked. He told me that he and Ava were divorced and asked if I could give us a chance

I have been in love with him since I can remember. I never stopped loving him even after he broke my heart. My love for him kept burning throughout the nine years we were apart. That’s how

strong it was

My family had kept me in the loop on things between Rowan and Ava. I knew that despite being

married and no matter how Ava tried, Rowan kept her at a distance. He was cold to her and he

never fell for her. He always asked after me. That his feelings for me were still obvious

All these things considered, I didn’t understand why right now he was all of a sudden interested in her life. Did my family miss something when it came to them? Something was just not adding up
