Emina

I hated every moment of being at Rowan’s house. I hated seeing Ava act as if Rowan was still her

husband. I mean, come on, amnesia? You’ve got to be kidding me.

It pissed me even more that Rowan was so fucking attentive to her. He was mine. He is still mine, and I

refuse to let him go.

When he shouted at me after I kissed him, it completely shocked me. Rowan has never raised his voice

at me. It makes me wonder if, indeed, he was done with me. It made me wonder if he actually loved Ava.

e past

I shake my head at that. That couldn’t be possible. Everyone told me that he hated her. That for the nine

years, he has done nothing but hurt her because of breaking us up. So how could he be in love with her

all of a sudden? It just didn’t make any sense.

“Miss?” the chauffer calls.

It was only after looking up at him that I realized that we were already home and that Mom and Travis

had already left the car.

Don’t even get me started on how mad I am at those two…

They were fawning over the bitch like puppies starved of affection. They even wanted to hold her little

bastard baby. Not to mention how quick they were to listen to that brat, Noah. As if his opinion of them

was important.

I mean, what the actual hell is wrong with them?

I get into the house fuming. Ready to rip into them. They were my fucking family, yet they treated me like

an outsider. Ava used to be nothing to them. She was the damn enemy, and now all of a sudden

everyone was on her fucking side.

“What the hell was that at Rowan’s house?” I shout at them as I enter.

Travis was seated while Mom stared out of the large windows. Through her reflection, I could tell she

wasn’t happy with me. The feeling was mutual.

She turns, her face a mask of anger. “I could ask you the same thing.

“This isn’t about me.” I snap. “It’s about your behavior towards Ava. She’s not part of this family, so why

the hell are you kissing her damn feet? We should be celebrating that she’s out of our damn lives!”

Chaled Ava so much: She took so much away from me. She took the one person that was important to

(ne and now she was doing it all over again. Now she was also taking away my family. My support

system. The same people who stood by me when I got my heart broken.

“Is that why you tried seducing Rowan right in front of our eyes?” Travis asks with a sneer.

“I wasn’t seducing him. I was simply staking my claim.”

Mom laughs, but the sound is humorless. It’s cold and completely void of any emotion.

I

She then turns and slaps me. I didn’t expect it, so I stumbled back a little. I face her in surprise. My

hands are on my throbbing cheek. This is the second time she’s slapped me.

“You were behaving like a cheap whore. A slut,” her lips are curled in disgust as she stared at me.

I

I continue staring. I can’t believe that she would call me that. She knew I was in love with Rowan, so why

would she call what I did whoring?

“I don’t think you took what I told you seriously,” she says after a while. “Three months and you still

haven’t patched things up with Calvin, nor have you seen Gunner. I’m getting sick and tired of your

foolish behavior.

I tried telling them that I wanted nothing to do with Gunner, but they wouldn’t listen. What did she expect

me to do? Just do as she says, even if it’s something I don’t want.

“Now, you’re going to do as I said Emma or I swear on your father’s grave that you’ll be out of this house

and my life before you can even blink.”

She turns to leave and then stops. “One more thing: stay away from Rowan.”

“You can’t ask me to do that,” I shout at her, frustration fueling me. “I love him.”

I can and will do anything she asks me except for that.

She looks me up and down with a look I’ve never seen directed at me.
