Chapter 0167 âYou canât be seriousâ Emma asks as shell shocked as I was.
I felt my heart beating wildly. Panic fisted my chest, making it hard for me to breathe. If I had thought that Ronny or Reaper, whatever the F*** he goes by, kidnapping us was bad, I was wrong because what he planned was way worse.
âOh, I am. You father should never have messed with me neither should Rowan. Itâs time to get my revengeâ Ronny smirks evilly sending chills down my back.
He had called Rowan right in front of us and told him to choose. I still canât believe that his plan was that only one of us would walk out of here alive.
18. 18.
I felt like everything was crushing in on me. Fear was wreaking havoc inside me and I couldnât think clearly. I was sure that my face was swollen from that bastard hitting me and my l*p had split. I chose to focus on that pain instead of the impending doom.
âDonât you have anything to say, Ava?â Ronny asks with the same cold smile.
I avert my eyes. I couldnât form a thought let alone say anything. This was the fifth time I was facing death. With how unhinged Ronny seemed, I was afraid that I wouldnât come out of this alive.
internally shake myself. Shoving those horrible thoughts away. I couldnât think like that. I had Noah and a baby to think about. For their sake I was going to fight to stay alive.
âMaybe youâre afraid that Rowan will choose your sisterâ he taunts. âIs that what has you so worried?â
âSheâs not my sister!â I snap, getting my fire back.
He chuckles with no humor in the sound of his voice.
âNo matter. This is going to be a fun game. I want to see your exâhusband break because either who he chooses heâs going to get the other dead and that will be on him. The guilt will be his undoingâ with those parting words, he walks away. Closing the door behind him.
âWhat are we going to do?â Emma whispers but I donât answer her.
Ronny was right. I was afraid because I knew that I wasnât the one Rowan would choose. Emma has always been important to him and I doubt that has changed.
He would go to hell and back for her, so I knew I didnât stand a chance of him choosing me over Emma.
wouldnât stand a chance. 1 With those thoughts in my head, I start struggling to get out. I couldnât push myself backward to break the chair. First of all, it would hurt and second, it would probably put my baby in danger. The only option left was to try to get myself free from the ropes. 1 I first survey the room. Good. There were no cameras. Of course they wouldnât be because these men probably thought we canât escape. This was going to make things easier.
The more I twisted my arms, the more the rope cut into my wrists. I curse in pain, but I donât stop. Time was ticking. 1 âWhat the hell are you doing?â Emma asks looking at me puzzled.
âWhat does it look like Iâm doing?â I ask her sarcastically. âIâm trying to get free.â
âBut why? Rowan will come for usâ she states firmly as if she actually believes what sheâs saying.
I look at her like sheâs dumb and at this moment I actually feel like she is.
âMaybe the drugs you inhaled affected your brain cells but we both know that if push comes to shove, Rowan is going to choose you. I have a son and another baby on the way. Iâm not going to wait twiddling my thumbs while Rowan plays god all because father was stupid enough not to do a background check before signing a contract with the Reaper!â
She looks at me in shock. Unable to believe what I just said. I know that it was rude speaking ill of the dead, but I am frustrated. Iâm in danger and so is my unbom child. If only father had them investigated. before signing a contract with them then I wouldnât be in this damn mess
