Ava
“I missed you mommy, why didn’t you call me?” Noah asks me, sadness in his voice.
I wanted more than anything to hold him in my arms. Just to reassure myself that I was still with him. That I wasn’t going to leave him motherless.
“I’m sorry my love, I lost my phone and I had to borrow your dad’s”
“Can we do a video call? I want to see you” he demands.
I know he senses that something is wrong but I can’t let him see me lying in a hospital bed. He will worry and want to come home. Given that I am now a supposed target, I couldn’t risk whoever is after me going after him.
I still couldn’t believe that there was a chance I was a main target. That someone wanted me dead.
“Not right now baby, they don’t allow video calls where I am” I lie.
“That’s a st* pid rule! Who makes such st* pid rules?” He screams through the phone.
I know that he is frustrated so I was going to let this slide.
“Noah…
“I just want to see you mommy, can’t dad make them leave you alone? He can make them give you permission, I know he can” he was close to tears and it was breaking my heart.
I look at Rowan and he is grinning like a fool. Noah knows how his father operates. He also knows that one word from Rowan Woods, and everyone bows down.
“Not this time… how about I call you tomorrow and we can skype?”
“You promise?”
“I promise”
I was getting discharged today so that would give me enough time to prepare for the call
tomorrow
“Okay mommy, talk to you tomorrow. I love you”
“Bye baby. Love you too”
“Grandma wants to talk…”
I hang up the phone before he can finish that sentence, I know it’s wrong but I just don’t want to

Rowan stares at me, one of his eyebrow raised A look I can’t explain passes across his face. I’ve
asked him to leave so many times but he won’t budge. I even asked the nurse to throw him out
and he threatened to have the entire hospital shut down.
My unwanted guest is here every day now. Being around him this much is suffocating me
especially after that day when I woke up to find Emma and Travis in my room. Travis left the
room a couple minutes later to get something to eat. The moment he did Emma was on me like a
ravenous vulture.
Three days ago
“Your little trick won’t work Ava” Emma sneers the moment Travis leaves the room.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
I was in no mood to deal with whatever was going on with her. She seemed hell bent on
something and I wasn’t well enough for whatever shit she wanted to stir up.
“This little accident of yours, I’m sure you planned it to get Rowan’s attention, but I’m telling you, I
won’t allow you to get close to him”
I laugh The vibration shooting pain to my injured ribs.
“Let me get this straight? You believe I planned for my car to be blown up so that I could end up in hospital in order to get Rowan’s attention?”
Man was she delusional. And everyone thought that I wasn’t the brightest in the family, they
should hear their perfect Emma and the bullshit she was spilling.
“Of course…I mean why would anyone want to kill you? What would they gain? Rowan doesn’t love
you so he wouldn’t care one bit if you lived or died and we also don’t care much about you. You’re
insignificant so you death would mean nothing to us” she looks at me with scorn.
I have never wanted to hit anyone like I wanted to hit her right now.
“So you came here to insult me is that it, Emma? Beat the dog while it’s still down, that’s you
plan?”
Why the hell was she even here? Who let her in, I wanted her gone. I didn’t want her near me, who knows what she’ll do once I’m a sleep. 1
“I’m not doing anything, just saying things like they are. I hope that gang doesn’t kill you first, I mean, I want you to watch as I take everything away from you just like you did me, including your son. He will soon be calling me mom”
How the hell were we even related? I know what I did to her was wrong but damn haven’t I been

“You’re a nasty bitch Emma, but know one thing, Noah will never see you as his mother. don’t you
remember how he ignored you at the airport. You’re nothing to him and you will be nothing even
if you and Rowan married”
Her face scrunches up. Anger taking’over the triumphant look she had seconds ago.
“That’s fine…at least it’s my name Rowan is screaming at night, I will make sure he pumps me so full of his cum that I get pregnant and when I do he will soon forget about you and that brat. I will
make sure the only children he acknowledges are mine, after all we both know he has never loved you, every time he was touching you he was probably imagining me, how many times has he called my name while you two were in bed?” 1
I ignore the rest of what she says even though it hurts. My main concern being Noah. I see red when he calls Noah a brat. Taking the flower vase near me, I lunge it at her head. With a scream she ducks and the vase hits the wall just as Travis enters the room.
“Are you crazy?!” Emma screams.
“Both of you, get out of my room now!” I scream back.
Then nurse enters looking at us hysterically.
“Ava, what’s wrong?” Travis asks gently but I don’t want his gentleness.
I can’t help remember all those times he treated me like trash. All those times made me feel like scum instead of his sister. All those times he rubbed his love for Emma in my face while treating me like I was nothing.
“Why don’t you ask you fucking sister” I glare at him and Emma before turning to the nurse.
Please make them leave, I don’t want them here”
have no fucking friends, Ava”
