Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

50. Missing

Rowan

I’m a coward Plain and simple. Two fucking months and I still can’t myself to face Ava of even

talk to her

What was I supposed to tell her? What could I tell the woman I thought had tricked me when it

had turned out that she wasn’t at fault?

I’m ashamed of myself. Ashamed of all the things I did to her. Ashamed of letting her take the

blame. I’m ashamed that I stood by while everyone treated her like shit, because I thought that

she deserved it.

I don’t know how to face her. How to look her in the eyes and apologize. I don’t fucking know how

to apologize to anyone simply because I’ve never been in the wrong. I am always fucking right

except when it comes to Ava

I take a sip of my whiskey as I try to drown that fucking guilt. It doesn’t do much but at least for a

few minutes I can pretend that my whole fucking world wasn’t turned upside down with the truth

“Sir, Mr Sharp is here to see you. He looks a bit distressed” my housekeeper interrupts me by

saying.

“Let him in” I simply answer before turning away.

When the truth came out, Gabe couldn’t hold it in anymore. He shared the video with everyone. So

now both families know that Ava wasn’t lying when she said she was drunk.

Everyone felt guilty except for Emma. She still held on to her grudge, saying it doesn’t excuse the

fact that she went after a guy that wasn’t hers.

Emma hasn’t improved. She keeps pushing, but for
