Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 118

I feel as ay anger starts rising to the surface. I know what Brian said, but I still haven’t ruled out Reaper

from my list of suspects.

I mean, come the fuck on, he had Ava kidnapped. You just don’t do that unless you have an ulterior motive. Plus, what Brian says just doesn’t make sense. Why would he kidnap her and then force me to

make a decision if he really didn’t want her to get hurt?

“What the fuck are you doing here?” I snarl at him.

His eyes sweep over me to the rest. They’ve all stood up in guard, but that doesn’t seem to faze him at all.

One thing that makes Reaper really dangerous is the fact that he was maniac. Sure, I am cold, but Reaper

takes that to a whole new level. He is a sociopath and a psychopath, all wrapped in a pretty ugly and

deadly bow.

“I’m here to see, Ava. Why else do you think I would be here? To see your sorry ass?” he asks with a

He turns those deadly eyes towards my brother. I’m not easily fazed, but Reapers eyes radiate a kind of

coldness that had you feeling chills down your spine.

His eyes were dead and cold. Almost like the man didn’t have a fucking soul. Maybe he didn’t. Who the

fuck knows anyway?

“I personally don’t care what the fuck you think because I am not here for any of you.” he doesn’t lose his

composure at all. “Now are you going to tell me how she is or should I find her doctor myself?”

His condescending tone, not to mention his attitude was grating on my nerves. I don’t even understand

what he is doing here in the first place.

“Why would we tell you that? For all we know, you’re the bastard that put a hit on her” I tell him through

clenched.

He stares at me with wide eyes, before throwing his head back and laughing. It rings off the walls of the

waiting room, leaving goosebumps all over my skin.
