Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

48. Gut feeling

Anonymous POV

I pace around my apartment feeling on edge. I’ve tried calling the bastard but he’s not picking up

He has been quiet since he burned down Ava’s house. That more than anything scares the crap

out of me because I don’t know what he is planning.

If I don’t know what he’s planning then I can’t come up with a counter attack incase he messes up

like Black Serpent.

Picking up my phone, I call one of my men.

“Boss?” Blake answers in the first ring.

“Have you been able to locate him?” I ask him.

I’m never one to worry. Never one to be anxious about things, but I was this time. I just got this bad

fucking feeling that something was going to happen.

I couldn’t shake the feeling of doom that was wrecking havoc inside me.

“No…it’s like he’s fallen completely off radar.” He replies, making me curse. “No one has been able

to locate him”

When I found out that the Black Serpent had been caught, I knew that I had to get rid of him.

It wouldn’t have been long before the police caught up to him, so I blew his brains off. I couldn’t

let him lead them straight to me.

I was right after all. It didn’t take long for the cops to catch up to him. Luckily I had taken care of

him already.

I know people like him. Mainly because he is made from the same cloth I am. If he had been

caught, then he would have given me up to save his sorry ass. (1)

He didn’t have any loyalty towards me, so he would have easily given me up. I couldn’t let that

happen. Not when I had worked so fucking hard to get to where I was.

Everything turned out perfectly. He died. The police lost their only advantage and I got a new

hitman.
