Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 45

Threats
I was shopping for furniture, but my mind wasn’t in it. I bought a new house. It was perfect for me

and it suited my style. Simple yet cozy. It was in a great neighborhood and was even closer to

Noah’s school. I loved it the moment I saw it. It also had a big backyard where Noah could play

unlike our previous house.

“Are you even paying attention?” Letty asks in annoyance.

She was helping me pick furniture my new home. It has been three days since I bought it and yet

it was sitting completely empty. I didn’t even have a bed for heaven’s sake. I’ve been sleeping on a

make shift bed on the floor.

“I’m sorry, Letty…I just have too much on my mind” I apologize.

When you have someone trying to kill you, most other things usually take a back seat. They don’t

seem as important as trying to stay a live long enough to see you child grow up.

I still get chills knowing that I was close to dying. Again. That someone deliberately set a fire to

my house. That they wanted me burned alive. What kind of a sick person does that?

Plus it can’t be a coincidence that the day of the dinner party someone chased me. Only to have

my house burned down the next day. 1

“Is it because of your house?” her voice is full of sympathy.

I clench my hands in fist. “Yes! And not only that, it’s everything. It just makes me so angry. Four

times, Letty! They’ve tried killing me four times and from what I see they don’t plan on stopping

until i’m dead. I just want to be left the fuck alone” I take a deep breath.

The people around as stare at us at my outburst, but I don’t give a shit about the scathing looks.

I sometimes felt so lost. I can’t bring my son back home even though I miss, because I don’t want

to put him in any danger. I haven’t held or kissed my baby boy in weeks.

“What terrifies me is what if they succeed? I haven’t see Noah in three months, Letty. Seeing him

on video calls isn’t the same as holding him in my arms. What if they succeed and I never get to

see or hold him again?” I ask, fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

“Uh…I don’t know what to say” she looks at me awkwardly

“You’re really not good at pep–talks are you?” I ask chuckling, wiping away my tears

“Hell No!” She all but shouts then sighs “I don’t know what you’re feeling but I get you. I know

how frustrating this must be for you, but don’t let them get to you, cause the moment they do, you

give them power over you”

I think for a second about what little she’s told me. She was right. I can’t lose it right now. Who

knows? Maybe that is what they’re counting on. Making me lose it, so that I can be careless and

make a mistake.

“Thank you, Letty” I give her a side hug.

Her pep–talk however small, is exactly what I needed.

“Good. Now, have you gotten everything you need?” she asks. “We’ve been at this for hours and I’m

starving”

“Yeah…we can go get something to eat. Let me pay and then I’ll came back and rive the U–Haul
