Rowan.
I sat at my desk going through some papers that needed my attention. I try to focus but I can’t. My
mind still on the fact that Ava ignored my call yet again. If it wasn’t for hiring Lydia, I doubt I
would ever know how she was fairing.
I still can’t believe how much she’s fucking changed. It was safe to say that the AvaI knew was
long gone and in her place is a total stranger.
When Emma decided that she was moving back, I was afraid that Ava would cause us problems.
That she would be a nuisance like she was back when she was a teenager. She proved me wrong
though.
I should be happy that she was keeping her distance. That she wasn’t causing me trouble, but a
part of me was bothered by it. It was so fucking strange how bothered I was and I hated how she
was now constantly on my fucking mind.
I eventually give up on trying to focus and stand up. Moving to the windows, I stare outside, trying
to clear Ava from my mind.
“Sir, the chief inspector is here” Christine, my secretary tells me.
I was so lost in thought that I didn’t even hear her entering my office.
“Let him in” I turn to face her before going back to my chair.
Brian, the chief enters just as I was settling down. We shake hands and then he takes his seat.
“Do you have anything for me?” I ask him.
Brian was around sixty years. Despite his age, he was still fit and on top of that, he was still sharp.
He was a retired detective and had also served in the army when he was younger.
“Nothing yet…we can’t find the gang and we don’t have anything that connects them to the two
incidents when your ex–wife was hurt”
I’ve been working closely with him since James was shot and killed. The gang seemed to disappear underground after that and no one can find any of them.
“There’s got to be something, anything that could help us figure out why the fuck they were targeting Ava” I was frustrated.
When Ava said that the gang shouldn’t be going after her, she was right. If we’re being honest, given how things are with her family and me, the one they should target is Emma. It made no
sense at all.

“I wish I had good news for you Mr. Wood but I don’t. These people whoever they are know what they’re doing. They’re professionals. There hasn’t been a single clue at the crime scenes so we
don’t even have a starting point” he says through clenched jaws
This whole situation clearly affects him too. He is the best at what he does and there has never be
an unsolved case in his files. The fact that he is yet to find any piece of information that points us
to the right direction, pisses him off.
“Do you think something like what happened last time could happen again?”
“I can’t say for sure but if we’re to follow the pattem of what has happened in the past few weeks, then yes….there is a chance that whoever it is will keep coming after Miss Sharp, until she’s either
dead or the persons involved are caught” 3
His words chill me to the bone. I don’t want to think of the two times she almost died. Or that she
still has a fucking target on her back.
I stand up and dismiss him “Keep me updated if something comes up”
He also stands up and shakes my hand once again, “Sure, I will”
He then leaves and I’m left once again alone, with the thoughts of my ex–wife occupying my head.
Taking my phone, I ring Christine. She picks up immediately, not wasting time.
“Send Drake up” I command her before hanging up.
Within minutes, Drake, the head of my security team enters my office.
“You called boss”
“On it, boss” he says then he’s out the door.
