Chapter 0130 Ava I sat at a private booth enjoying a piece of cake. Noah was spending the night at Rowanâs so I was child free tonight.
I was feeling good for some reason. In that good feeling. I decided to grab something to eat. I was in the mood for some comfort food. Thatâs why I was currently here eating dessert like Iâve been starved for days.
My visit to prison was eventful. I had fully expected Ethan to tell me he doesnât want the baby. Instead I got more than I had bargained for.
His confession of love left me feeling empty in a way. He had to understand that it was too late now. I wouldnât ever think about being with him. He tried killing me for heavenâs sake! If I go back to him, what does that say about me?
I wasnât cruel enough to deny him his rights as a father. Even if I didnât want to see him personally. I could always ask Nora to take the baby to him. That was the furthest I was willing to go. The biggest effort I was willing to make when it came to Ethan. Anything beyond that would be downright stupid.
I decided that I was done with men. I mean no good can come out of chasing love. I wanted love from two men and what I got was heartbreak and pain.
It was time for me to give up on love, because the way I see it, it doesnât want me. It never has. I am learning to make peace with that. Now I was going to focus on being my best version. Focus on being the best mother.
I push another piece of cake in my mouth and moan. It felt like heaven as the taste explodes in my mouth.
âArenât you afraid youâll get fat? I mean you already are, but I fear you will get fatterâ the shrill voice makes me snap my eyes open.
I groan when I open my eyes and find Anita staring at me with a mean look. Behind her were some of her coâworkers. They laugh when they hear her insulting me, but I honestly donât care. Right now they were all insignificant.
She was one of Rowanâs financial advisors and as you can tell, she doesnât like me. She and Christine have always been on the âhate Ava boatâ.
I never really understood where their hate came from. Sure I was married to Rowan. Who they both wanted, but anyone with a brain could tell that Rowan hated my guts.
+15 BONUS âIâm talking to you fat bitchâ she screeches when I continue to ignore her.
âSure, talk away. Doesnât mean I have to listen to a fucking word you say I respond before drinking a glass of juice.
Back when we married, I always kept quiet when she would say awful things to me. I was so desperate to please Rowan, to get him to like me, that I let his workers walk all over me. Part of me wanted to believe he was oblivious to their mean treatments, but I just canât let myself think that he didnât know.
âYou think youâre something now that youâre apparently rich?â she sneers. âI bet you got your money by getting on your backâ
At that, I laugh. These kind of women are so insecure that they think everyone gets to the top by spreading their legs.
I speak after my laugh dies down. âIâm not you, Anitaâ
âYou bitch! How dare youâ she goes to lunge at me, but I stand up and glare at her.
I was done letting these stupid idiots walk over me.
I snap, my eyes narrowing in slits. âThe Aval Take one more step towards me and youâre going to regret you knew took your insults lying down, I promise I wonât. You push me, Iâll push back harder and I fucking swear you wonât like what I doâ
She looks behind her, before fixing her green eyes on me. She dragged her friends to my table expecting to humiliate me. The jokes on her, though.
âAre you threatening me?â she walks towards me, trying to intimidate me.
