“What the hell happened to you?” Gabe asks looking at the ice pack that was plastered to my face.
“Ethan” I just grunt. Not in the mood to deal with my brother.
Fuck! I still can’t believe that I got into a fight with the fucking idiot. I was just so pissed and I let
his words get to me.
“The cop?” He asks curiously. “Ava’s new man?”
At that I blow. I take the ice pack and throw it against the wall.
“He’s not her fucking man” I snap standing up.
My emotions were raw and close to the surface. I still don’t understand why Ava can’t see that the
fucker is a fraud.
I haven’t been able to get anything deeper about him. The reports paint him as an okay guy.
Nothing out of the ordinary, but my gut tell me otherwise. There was just something about him
that rubbed me wrong. Something that he was hiding. My gut has never been wrong before.

I take a deep breath, trying to cool down the fire burning inside me.
“We were helping Ava move furniture into her new house and he told me to back off. Said that she
was his and he wasn’t going to allow me to ruin things” I admit finally.
Gabe stares at me like he can’t believe what I just said. Like I was trying to figure out what the
hell was wrong with me.
“Seriously? That’s what made you get into a fight with him”
“Yes!”
He sighs before sitting down. “In case you haven’t noticed, she’s no longer your wife and given that
he is dating her, he has every reason to ask you to back off. Isn’t that the same thing you asked of
