Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

It’s been about two months after my house was burned to the ground. So far nothing has

happened to me in those few months.

There hasn’t been any more attacks. It’s been quiet and I was hoping the bastard had given up on

killing me.

The chief told me not to get my hopes high. He advised to stay on guard and be on the lookout.

According to him, such people don’t give up easily. He told me that he or she was probably

bidding their time. Planning. Waiting for the perfect time to attack.

I get what he was saying, but it’s hard not to have hope when they have been quiet. It’s easy to

relax and let my guard down when it seems like they’ve left me alone.

These past few months have been the best of my life. Of course it can’t compare to those moments

I’m with Noah, but they have been pretty great nonetheless.

What made them the best was Ethan. Every moment I’ve been with him has taught me something

new about myself.

I love being around him and if I’m honest with myself, then I’ll admit that I’ve developed feelings

for him.

He’s everything I’ve ever wanted Rowan to be. Kind, loving and attentive. Not to mention that the

S** is amazing. I see the soft look in his eyes as he stares at me and I always fucking hope that he

feels the same way I do.

I can see myself building a life with him. That is if he wants me.

Most would probably say that I’m moving too fast. Maybe I am, but I don’t think so. I’ve wasted

nine years loving a man that didn’t deserve my love. Nine years with a man that hated me. Of

course when I get a chance to be happy I’m going to grab it with both hands. It’s not even

something to think about or debate.

My phone ringing brings me out of my happy thoughts of Ethan. I was a woman on cloud nine and

nothing could bring me down.

“Where the hell are you?” Letty’s screaming voice comes through the speaker.
