Chapter 0314


    “So what do you think I should do?” Corrine asks looking at the both of us for answers.


    “First thing’s first, do you want him?” I curiously ask.


    That was the first question she needed to ask herself. We couldn’t proceed until she answered that


    question.


    “Well, I’m insanely attracted to him, but I don’t know if I should get involved with him. The police are still


    on his trail, and I don’t want a rtionship that will blow up in my face and ruin everything I’ve worked


    for,” she answers after a while.


    I get what she meant. Reaper wasn’t just anybody. He was a criminal, meaning getting involved with


    him would have dire consequences, which made me wonder what the hell I was thinking being friends


    with the man. I get he’s Iris’s uncle, but the man is dangerous and wanted by the freaking cops. 1


    “I think you should do it try. F uck him once then decide from there” Letty tells her. I go to interrupt her,


    thinking she’s out of her mind, but she cuts me off. “Hear me out. We both know that Ava isn’t someone


    to trust blindly. Well, except for Ethan, she’s a pretty good judge of character.


    Even with Ethan, we can admit he’s a decent guy. He only allowed greed and power to get in his head.


    He wanted what he though was rightfully his. The fact that Ava gave Reaper a chance means


    something. She isn’t stu pid and wouldn’t do anything that would risk Noah and Iris or put them in


    danger. I trust her judgement and I think you should too.


    Besides, didn’t he say he was working on something to clear his name? It might be legal, it might not, I


    honestly don’t care, not when Travis told me the effort he is putting to make sure that Ava is safe. So


    yeah, I think you should give it a shot if you really want him”


    Da mn, I wanted to argue, but I couldn’t. Letty had a good point. I would never put my children in


    danger or risk their safety. I may be na?ve but I wasn’t stu pid. If I gave Reaper a chance, it meant that


    against all odds, against what he did for a living, against the target on his back and against his dark


    personality, I trusted him. I sigh, knowing that Letty is right. Turning to Corrine, I watch her as she


    thinks the entire situation through, weighing the pros and cons.


    “So what will you do?” I mumble, waiting for her answer.


    She takes her time, before finally releasing a breath of air. “This might be the worst mistake I’ll ever


    make, but I think I’ll take him up on the offer. I’ll give it one night, and if the sex is good then I’ll ept


    his propsal. Besides, it will suit me fine. I don’t have time to date or look


    She pauses before continuing. “Plus, it’s another ‘f uck you’ to my father. He always hated me because


    I wasn’t born a boy. That’s why he gave the constructionpany to my brother even though I am the


    eldest. Nothing I did was ever good enough for him, and in retaliation, I did everything he didn’t


    approve. Anything that could spi ke up his blood pressure”


    Wow, seems like I wasn’t the only one that didn’t have an easy childhood. I’m d though, that it didn’t


    break her.


    “I never knew that, Corrine, Why have you never said anything?” Letty takes Corrine’s hand infort


    while I rubbed her back.


    “It’s not something I want people to know… Besides, I’m trying to move on and heal. Talking about it


    means, remembering, and I don’t want to remember”


    We nod our heads in understanding. After all, aren’t I in the same situation now? I’m trying to move on


    and forget Rowan’s past mistakes.


    “Anyway” she cuts the silence after a while and faces me. “How is your rtionship with Rowan?”


    I groan, “We have a date today and I have nothing to wear”


    Hey Loves, sorry I didn’t post yesterday, I have been I’ll these past few days. I just wanted to apologize


    for that and also to thank all of you for all your support. Ex-Huband’s Regret won first ce in a


    competition I entered. This wouldn’t have been possible without your continued love and support.


    There is no trophy, but I dedicate this win to each and everyone of you for being the best readers and


    fans. Words aren’t enough to express my gratitude, but thank you so much from the bottom of my


    heart… Take care and stay safe. Bye.
