Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

Chapter 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.

My relationship with Emma hasn’t improved. She keeps pushing, but for some reason I just can’t

bring myself to give in.

I don’t know what the fuck is going on with me. I wanted a chance with Emma. A future with her,

yet here I am pushing her away for some unknown reason.

I turn when Travis enters my office.

“What going on?” I ask when I realize that Martha was right. He looked distressed.

“I don’t know, but I need your help. He grabs onto his hair. Tm freaking out”

I stand up from my seat and round the desk. I sit on it then pull a glass, pour some whiskey beforehanding it over to him

“Calm me down and tell me what happened” I tell him in a controlled and calm voice

He takes a few deep breaths before answering “I got an unexpected call from Ava, before she couldsay anything though, I heard a small scream and then nothing. I tried calling back but there wasn’t an

answer. I tried calling Letty because they were going out together but I can’t reach her either. It’s beenalmost two hours and none of them is answering their phones”

I straighten at what he said. My brows pulling down in worry. Ava would never call Travis willingly sosomething happened. Something was wrong.

“Do you know where they went?” I ask already taking my phone out.

“No. Letty didn’t tell me”

Drake picks up on the first ring. “Get me the location of Ava’s car”

“On it” he says before hanging up.

I got a tracker on her car without her knowing. It was the easiest way I knew to keep track on her

and protect her since she asked me to withdraw her security details.

Seconds later I get details of where her car is parked. I’m surprised to realize that it was parked

near one of my many clubs.

“Let’s go” I tell Travis and we leave.

It doesn’t take us long to get to our destination. We get out and get immediate entry into the club.

After speaking to one of the bartenders and showing him a picture of Ava and Letty, he shows us

the private booth they chose.

“Both their purses and Letty’s phone are still here” Travis comments as he goes through Letty’s

bag.

“Have you seen them since they came in?” I ask Matt, the bartender.

“No, they came in and ordered some drinks. They talked for a while. The girl with black hair stood

up and went to the bathroom before going outside. Soon the brunet followed her out. None of them.

came back inside”

I was fuming My insides churning in anger

“You didn’t fucking think to check on them to make sure they were alright?” I explode then pin

the imbecile to the wall.

The idiot let out a girlish scream. Fear flashing in his eyes.

“I swear I didn’t notice it’s been really busy today and I just didn’t pay much attention that they hadn’tcome back until now” he cowers as if he was trying to blend in with the wall.

“What’s going on here?” A voice I recognize asks.

I turn to my manager. My anger and worry still choking me.

“What kinds of idiots do you hire nowadays, Francis?” I ask him turning around to fully face him.

He gasps and tries to compose himself now that he realizes that I am not a normal customer.

“Wh–what do you mean Mr. Woods?” Francis stammers, his face going ashen.

“Please explain it to him, Travis, because I don’t think I can without killing and ending their sorry

asses.”

I pace as Travis explains the situation to Francis, who gets paler with each word.

“You said that they both went outside?” I face the bartender.

He nods his head in answer.

“Get me the CCTV footage” I command before leaving through the back door.

I look outside and replace nothing. No clue that can lead us to either of the women. I was about to give

up when I kicked something with my shoes.

I look down only to replace that it’s a phone. Not just any phone, but I recognize it as the new phone I gotAva. Travis comes out with a tablet just as I was trying to power it on.

“You have to see this” he says urgently, giving me the device.

In the video, Ava is seen coming out of the club then being hit by a man who later carries her

unconscious body into a getaway car.

It was obvious that Ava was kidnapped but what the hell happened to Letty?

“At least we got a clear view of the bastard’s face and the car’s registration number” Travis says

hopefully

1 ignore him and dial Gabe’s number. He had the best tracker so he was our best shot.

“I need you to replace someone for me” I tell him before giving him the details and sending him the

video

Don’t worry Ava, I’m coming for you.
