“I promise to never mess with her again! I’m so sorry, Ethan. I can’t stand the thought of you not being my husband,” Chole said and buried her head into his chest, her shoulders shaking with sobs.

    After a moment, Chole seemed to calm down as Ethan wiped the tears from her eyes. Soon, she was breathing normally, and her mood seemed to regte before my eyes.


    Ava and I shared a loaded look. I didn’t know much about borderline personality disorder–the affliction that Ava’s psychologist friend seemed to think that Chole had–but I was pretty sure that rapid mood swings were a part of it. Watching Chole’s erratic behavior made my blood chill. I thought about her ssmate, who was still missing. She had been thest person who was seen with him. Had Chole hurt that poor kid in some way? Honestly, after all the things that I’ve witnessed her do, I wouldn’t put it past her.


    “I’m so sorry that I became so emotional,” Chole said and stared up at Ethan with regret. “You know that I only act this way because I just love you so much. It’s also my pregnancy hormones.” Chole rubbed her belly. “You can’t leave me when I’m carrying your child! You just can‘ t! How am I supposed to raise our child without you?”


    At this thought, Chole began to sob again and clutched on even tighter to Ethan.


    He gently patted her back, but I knew him well enough to know that he was still angry. He tried to mask it, though, as his expression turned into a cool, indifferent mask that I’d seen many times.

    “You are never allowed to hurt her again,” Ethan repeated, then gently led Chole over to me. “You need to apologize for trying to hurt her.”


    I wanted to ask him why he was talking to her, like she was a child, that he had caught doing something wrong. Why was he treating her with such kid gloves?


    I could still see hatred in Chole’s eyes as she red at me. But she sighed and crossed her arms tightly across her chest.


    “I’m very sorry for trying to run you over with my car,” Chole said with a sarcastic edge to her voice. “As long as you stay away from Ethan, I won’t hurt you again. Why should I even waste time with you? I’m the one that Ethan had chosen in the end. I’m the one that he wants to spend the rest of his life with.”


    Even though her apology was forced and not authentic at all, Ethan wrapped his arm around Chole’s shoulders and smiled down at her with pride. My guess was that she didn’t apologize very often.


    I red at Chole with disgust. “I don’t ept your apology,” I said. “If you can even call it that.” I looked between my ex–husband and his mistress. “You two deserve each other. I hope that you two stay together forever to keep people like you off of the dating scene so that no one else has to deal with you.”


    Chole’s eyes narrowed, and she opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted by another car pulling up to us. Relief shot down my spine as Alexander quickly got out of his car and nodded at Richard. I assumed that his bodyguard had texted him about the situation, and he came racing over here./


    Alexander walked up to us and stood close beside me. The heat from his body gave mefort, and I held onto that to get through this.


    “You two have what you want,” he said to Ethan and Chole. “You can
