Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 51

Betrayed

I stare. My heart beating erratically and my mind racing. How the hell did I get here? How the hell

did I not see this coming?

I was frozen. Mortified. Unable to utter a fucking word. My world was crumbling down around me.

Shattering into pieces.

That one word kept playing in my head. Driving me to the brink of madness then back. All this time. Wondering. Guessing. Searching. My enemy was right under my fucking nose.

It kind of made sense. She was Travis‘ girlfriend and from what I know he’s madly in love with

her. He would do anything to get her back including paying the ransom money.

“I don’t get it” Letty begins. “Then what is Ethan doing here? Is he here to rescue us?” She asks
