He reached his arm out to touch my shoulder, but Ava stepped in front of me and effectively blocked him.
“How much money would you like for writing the letter?” Ethan asked. “I can have my assistant wire you any amount of money instantly. Or do you prefer cash?”
Ava scoffed at my ex–husbands audacity. But I was used to it. So, I just ignored him and walked away.
My teeth gritted when I heard the sound of him following after us.
I sped up to get away from him, but there was a car right next to us. The driver hit the gas pedal to elerate.
They were headed right for me.
My stomach stiffened in fear as I jumped back, bumping into Ethan. My ex tried to wrap his arms around me to steady me,
but my momentum caused us both to fall to the ground.
Right after we fell, I saw another car that was driven by Richard speed in front of the three of us, forcing the other car to stop before it could hit us.
As I struggled to get myself out of Ethan’s embrace, his familiar scent washed over me, causing my stomach to turn over.
The door of the car that almost hit me flew open, and the driver rushed
out.
My blood boiled when I saw who it was.

Of course it was Chole.
Ava’s words fromst night of her having untreated mental health issues came back to me.
My friend rushed over to help me off the ground and away from Ethan.
Chole’s face was maroon as she looked between Ethan and me. “Wow, I can’t believe that you were just trying to seduce my fiancé! Of course, I would find you wrapped around him.”
Her eyes sparked with anger, and she advanced toward me with a murderous expression.
But Richard ran out of the other car and stood in front of me, protecting me.
My heart thudded with relief from having him close by for my safety.
To myplete shock, Ethan stood from the ground and stepped in front of me. If I didn’t know any better, it seemed like he was
protecting me from his future wife.
But I didn’t need his protection. Disgust flowed through me as I gestured for Richard and Ava to move over to the side with me to get away from Chole and Ethan.
“I told you to stay at home!” Ethan yelled at Chole. “Why would you try to run her over? You know that you’re not allowed to hurt Olivia. She came here today to write a letter to help you.”
Chole’s lower lip trembled, and tears filled her eyes. As they ran down her cheeks, she stepped toward Ethan and grabbed onto the front of his suit jacket.
“Why are you even within a mile of her!” Chole demanded and red

at me. “You know that I forbid you from ever seeing your ex again! She might just sink her ws back into you and try to steal you <b>away </b>from me!”
I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at her.
Really? How hypocritical of her. She was the one who originally stole Ethan away from me, and I didn’t even want him anymore. As far as I was concerned, Chole could have him. Maybe that was why she was worried, though. Once a cheater, always a cheater.
“Sweetheart, Olivia is here to help you,” Ethan said and rubbed her arms soothingly.
But Chole didn’t seem to even be listening to Ethan. She started to hyperventte, and her body started to shake as she sobbed.
Ava and I shared a look. Even though Chole had just tried to run me over with her car, it was obvious that she wasn’t mentally well. I couldn’t help but feel slightly bad for her.
“You promised to only love me!” Chole cried and backed away from Ethan. “Why would I find you here with her!”
My ex–husband threw his arms up in frustration. “I’m sick of this, Chole. I can’t live like this anymore. I’m putting my foot down. If you ever harm–or attempt to hurt–Olivia again, then I will never marry you,<i>” </i>he threatened, his jaw clenching. “I don’t care what the circumstances are. You are not allowed to try and hurt her ever again.”
That made Chole immediately stop crying, and her face went pale. Her bright eyes widened with horror. She threw her arms around Ethan and pressed herself against him.
