Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 38

A banquet
Rowan

I was getting ready for a banquet. It wasn’t something I wanted to do but I had to go. none the less The founder of Hope foundation was holding the banquet in thanks giving and honor of all its donors. Given I was one of its many donors, I was invited

“What is it, Brian. I’m busy?” I answer after checking the caller ID

“We were able to get a DNA match from the blood sample we collected from Miss Sharp’s house” he goes straight to the point.

Her name makes me take a sharp intake of air. The last words I flung at her still echo in fucking mind I shouldn’t have said all those hurtful things but I was so fucking pissed that she put her hands on Emma

“And?” I urge, wanting him to continue.

I was hoping this was good news. I wanted nothing more than to solve Ava’s case and put it behind us

“I don’t have good news” he replies making me grown.

“What happened?”

“We identified the man. He goes by Black Serpent. He’s been on our radar for quite a while since he is a hired killer Someone tipped us as to where he’s hiding, only problem is that we found him dead with a bullet in his skull” there was an edge in his voice. An edge I was also feeling.

He was our hope but now the man was dead, so we were back to square one.

“Did you find anything that might have given a clue on why he was after Ava?” I ask almost desperately.

“Nothing” he replies.

“And the one that tipped you?

He sighs tiredly. “I think it might have been the one that killed him. My guess is he or she found out that we had evidence against Black Serpent so he killed him before we could make an arrest and get him to reveal who his boss is

like the direction this was leading to.

“But that would mean that whoever is after Ava is someone close to her, otherwise how would

they have known about the DNA sample?”

Despite the news of Ava’s attack leaking, nothing much was said. Tabloids only reported that she was attacked in her house. There was no public information concerning the blood sample the police collected.

“Most likely. That or they have an accomplice who is close to Ava and therefore feeding him or her information” Brian finishes.

Just when I thought things would get better then this happens. How the fuck are we supposed to catch this guy?

“Is that all?” I ask him.

“Yes…for now”

“Keep me updated” with that I hang up and get back to tying my tie.

Now more than ever I didn’t feel like going to the damn banquet.
