Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 86

Friends?
It’s been two days since Emma and I were kidnapped. The police have searched for Reaper, but he

was in the wind again. They couldn’t find him and those of his men who were caught weren’t

talking.

I’ve lived in constant fear since then. I don’t want something like that happening again. I

especially didn’t want to be targeted for something that I wasn’t even involved with.

“Mom can I play video games?” Noah ask bringing me back to the task at hand.

I’ve done all my chores in the hopes of keeping my mind from thinking too much. I was currently

“Sure. What time did Gunner say he’s coming?”

Those two were now joined at the hips. They did everything together even when they were in

Their bond was so special and it reminded me of the one Rowan, Gabe and Travis have had since

they were young boys.

“Okay. I’ll make sure to have some snacks for you two”

He kisses me on the cheek. “You’re the best”

After that, he leaves and I am once again left with my thoughts. It’s like for the past few days I’ve

done nothing but think. It was driving me crazy. The thoughts just kept coming. Even when I was

asleep.

Everything was confusing. Especially where Rowan was concerned. He has called a few times, but

instead of talking to him, I just hand over the phone to Noah. I wasn’t in the right mental capacity

to deal with him or the new character he has suddenly developed.

His actions these past few months are so contradictory. How can I all of a sudden mean something

to him when I didn’t for the last nine years? What has changed?

Nothing different has happened. I am still the same Ava. The same woman who he kept rejecting

her love. 1
