Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 52

A girl named Nora.

“Fuck” ine grunted shout makes me open my eyes.

Ethan was holding his shoulder, which was bleeding

“Drop the fucking gun Ethan or I swear I’ll blow your brains off” Rowan’s angry voice penetrates

my foggy brain.

He’s the last person I want to see right now. Mainly because I’m ashamed. He tried warning me,

but I didn’t fucking listen to him.

“I have the whole building surrounded, Ethan. You’re outnumbered” Rowans adds.

Just then I hear police sirens and sigh in relief.

Ethan lowers his gun, before putting it on the ground. His eyes are locked with mine. I want to

pull them away, but I can’t. I want to be reminded of what a fool I’ve been this whole time.

“Ava, darling look at me” his voice pulls me from Ethan’s cold gaze. It’s only then that I realize

that Rowan was standing in front of me. 2

Seeing his face up close brings tears to my eyes. The last words he said to me two months ago still

rings in my head.

I keep my eyes on him as he unlocks the chains. He was my anchor right now. Maybe if I focus on

him, I won’t drown in the treacherous water of pain.

“I got you” he whispers softly, his voice full of kindness.

He hugs me to him and I have to fight back the tears that threaten to fall. My eyes collide once

again with Ethan. He was on the ground and the police were cuffing him. His wound was bleeding,

but no one seemed to care.

I watch as they take him away. My heart breaking at the loss of a future I thought we had together.

“Are you hurt?” Rowan asks me, pulling me away from his warmth.

I felt so cold now. So chilled. I not only felt the coldness on my skin, but it seeped into my

Nothing registers in my mind. I see Rowan’s mouth moving but I can’t hear a thing. I see Travis

walking with a shocked Letty and Gabe walking in with some of the cops. It still doesn’t register.

Nothing does.

I was numb. Or maybe I was beyond numb. I was completely broken.

Why did he do this to me? Why go through all the trouble to get to know me if he was always

planning to kill me? It didn’t make any sense at all.

The more I thought about it. About us. The more I died inside.

I felt us moving. Rowan’s hand around my waist. Supporting me. I was so lost in my head and my

pain that I didn’t realize we were even in a car until we hit a bump in the road.

The car ride didn’t take long. We were soon parking outside the police station.

Brian greeted us and led us inside to take our statements. I don’t remember all the things I said or

how long I had zoned out.
