Chapter 0184
Ava.
I’m still reeling from the nerve of Rowan days after my appointment. I mean how dare he
pretend like he didn’t know what the hell I had gone through when I was pregnant.
Him, the Sharps and his damn family were all responsible. I almost lost my baby because
of them and they still wonder why the hell I can’t forgive them?
Thinking about it just pissed me the F*** off. I was drowning yet they didn’t care. They
didn’t bother. All because they blamed for that night. Did I have S** on my own? Did I drag
Rowan to the bed and force myself on him? He was a willing participant yet they blamed
me. Punished me.
Sometimes I look back and I think that it was just an excuse. They used that night and the
results to alienate me. They’ve never treated me like one of them. So this was the perfect
excuse for them to cut
me off completely.
What I told Rowan was the truth. I couldn’t regret him because he gave me Noah, but I do

completely different.
‘Everything happens for a reason, Ava‘ my inner voice says. The journey that you went
through was meant to bring you to this moment. It was meant to bring to your parents, to
Letty, to Corrine, to Calvin and Gunner. It’s because of that same journey that you met
Ethan and now you are expecting this precious. baby. Everything happens to align for

I think about it for a minute and my anger deflates. She’s right. I would have had a
different life had I ran away, but what’s to say I would have met those in my life right
now? It’s the same thing with Rowan. Taking back that night would mean taking back Noah
and everyone that’s in my life right now.
Leaning against the sofa, I let the stress and worries go. I was determined to move on and
heal. It’s difficult with people digging at the wound, but like I said. I was determined.
I was about to lay down, when I heard a crash from the kitchen. I sit up straight with my
heart pounding.
Standing up, I slowly walk towards the kitchen. I used to think that those people in horror
movies who
used to go towards where the sound came from were stupid. Like, just ran away. Why are
you heading
towards what is possibly danger?
Here I am though, behaving exactly like them even though I knew there was still danger
hanging over our
heads.
I should be calling someone. The police for example, but I want to make sure it isn’t Cal’s
dog. He has a
Reaching the kitchen. I find no one. I move around the kitchen counter to check the back
door. The glass was broken, meaning someone was inside my house.
Panic starts to seize my heart. Not again! This time is even worse because I was alone and
pregnant. I turn around about to ran to the phone, but I freeze in fear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmReaper stands on the opposite side looking out of sorts and completely dangerous.
“Hello, Ava” he greets, his voice sending shivers down my
back.
I used to think Rowan’s voice is cold, but Reapers is like the Antarctica,
I grab a knife and point it at him. “Stay the F*** back”
“I’m not going to hurt you” he puts his arms up in surrender.
I scoff. “Could have fooled me”
“For real. I’m not going to hurt you. I just want to talk” he puts his hands down and takes a
seat on one of
the kitchen barstools.
I stare at him. My eyes twitching. He looks so comfortable and at home. As if he hadn’t
just broken into
my house. The same woman he had kidnapped about a week and a half ago.
“What’s there to talk about? I won’t be a part of your sick revenge plan against Rowan. If
you want to get back at him then be my guest and do it, but leave me and my son out of
it”
