Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 84

My choice
Rowan

I can’t explain the fear I felt when I saw the bastard pointing a gun at her head. She was shaking,

and tears were falling down her face. I heard as she pleaded with him to spare her, but I knew he

wouldn’t.

When she closed her eyes. As if accepting her fate. It nearly brought me to my fucking knees. If it

wasn’t for the fact that I knew she was tired, I would have spared the man just so I could give him

my own personal version of torture.

“She needs a doctor, Rowan” she says in a small voice as I kneel down before her.

I had already texted Gabe. The ambulance would be here in minutes. It’s not that I didn’t care for

Emma; I did. I just cared for Ava more. (2)

I take her face gently into my hands. Her cheek was swollen, and so was her eye. It had already bruised, and her lip was split.

My face hardened at the thought of someone laying their hands on her.

“Who hit you? Was it Ronny” I ask through clenched teeth.

She winces when I run my hand down her bruised cheek. Fuck! Her pain made my heart constrict.

I wanted nothing more than to kill the bastard who hurt her.

“It doesn’t matter… We need to get Emma to a hospital” she says as she begins to stand up.

I push her down gently and continue to inspect her. Totally ignoring what she said. Her wrists were bleeding, and her ankles were swollen and bruised.

The more I took in her wounds, the angrier I got. She shouldn’t have to go through this. Especially not when she was fucking pregnant.

“Rowan, are you not listening to me” Her tone is exasperated, and I know if it weren’t for the fact that she was tired and hurt, she would have thrown a few choice words at me.

“I’m listening, and the ambulance will be here.” I answer. “Now tell me who hurt you.”

She lets out a deep long breath. Sagging in relief against the car

“Give me a facial description”

I was going to find the bastard. No one. I mean, no one gets away with hurting Ava. He was going

I can’t help the small smile that forms on my lips. I liked this side of Ava. Loved that she was no

longer willing to take crap from anyone.

Before I could ask why she thought escaping was a good idea, we heard the sirens, shouts, and

shots. Gabe, Travis, and the paramedic reach us moments later.
