That she was the one that hurt Ava… She shoved Ava while they were in the bathroom, and Ava hit a

wall. That’s why Ava was bleeding. I’m also guessing it’s the reason why she fainted.” My tone hardens

when I remember what Emma confessed.

It made me want to wrap my hands around her neck and choke the daylights out of her.

“That fuck

fucking spoilt brat,” Theo thunders furiously. “What have you done about it? I hope you didn’t let her

go scot–free

“Don’t worry, I’ve taken care of things.” A smile plays on my lips. Emma will think twice about ever hurting

Ava again.

“Mr. Woods?”

We all turn to the nurse’s voice.

“Miss Ava is awake.”

We all audibly breathed a sigh of relief. I’d been afraid of her not waking up.

Her parents stand up

“Can we see her?” Nora asks eagerly.

“Maybe in a minute,” she says, turning to face me. “She’s asking for you.”

I nod my head and follow the nurse as she leads me to Ava’s room. After opening the door and letting

me in, she leaves.

Walking slowly towards her bed, I notice that even though she looks drowsy, she also looks on edge.

Like she is worried about something.

“I’m sorry,” she blurts out the moment I sit down and take her hand.

I’m astounded. Not really sure what she was apologizing for. I mean, she has done nothing wrong.

For what?” I ask cautiously.

might have aggravated Emma… I don’t know what came over me when I said what I said.

She looks so worned and scared. It puzzled me because I didn’t understand how what she told Emma

had to do with her apologizing,

fou tell herr

“She kept telling me how you belong to her and that I should stop using my amnesia to force you to Stay

with me. I don’t know what came over me. I got angry and told her If indeed you were hers, then why did

you always come home to me every day since I woke up?”

I couldn’t help it. The chuckle escaped my lips without meaning to. She looked so adorable that I wanted

nothing more than to kiss her.

“It’s not funny,” she frowns at me.

“It kind of is, Ava.”

Sighing tiredly, she lets go of my hand and places hers on top of the blanket.

“I know you’ve never liked it when I antagonized her. I’m really sorry for that. We’ve been doing so great,

and I don’t want that to affect us.”

It finally hit me why she looked worried. In the past, I would have gone off on her for that. I would have

gotten arigry and said some really mean things to her. She expected that to happen. She expected me to

be mad at her.

I cup her cheek softly before gently placing a kiss on her lips.

“You don’t have to apologize for telling her the truth, Ava. I don’t want her and if I did, I would be with her

right now. You’re the one my bod

mind, and soul want. No one else. So you were right. I come home to

you every day because that’s where I want to be. With you, Noah and Iris.”

She visibly relaxes.

“You really mean that?”

I simply nod, letting her see the truth in my eyes. “With every beat of my heart.”

Thank you…Now I can sleep in peace. I was worried that incident would cause friction between us,” she

murmurs through a yawn.

“Get some rest, my love… I’ll be here when you wake up.”

Within seconds, she’s completely out. I continue watching her as she sleeps while thanking my lucky

stars for giving me a second chance with her.

twas contemplating all the things I was going to do to make it up to when my phone rings.

Bait Task in irritation.

bbes Emma has been arrested..one of my men answers

You know what to do next.”

“Yes, boss”

“Good”

With that, I hang up and smile to myself. The arrest is just the beginning.
