Chapter 0231
He glares at me, but within seconds, his features soften. He grabs my hand, turns it, and kisses my palm in a really gentle kiss.
I
“I don’t know when I fell in love with you or how; all I know is that I love you, Ava. I didn’t see it back then. I was so overcome with bitterness and anger that I didn’t realize what a true gem I had married. In the last few months, it’s been hard to be without you. Seeing you in pain or hurt destroys me every time. It has taken me time to realize that I’m in love with you, but here I am, begging you to give me a chance to show you the love you deserved from me but never got.”
I watch completely stunned, as he gets out of the chair and kneels before me. This all seems like a
dream. It’s like I am in a completely different world right now.
“Oh, Rowan,” I start, trying to make my brain function. “You don’t love me. You’ve never loved me. Emmal

is your one and only love. She’s the one that has your heart, remember?”
Pain and regret flash in his eyes. I feel bad for him, but I know that maybe he’s just confused about things.
It just doesn’t make sense. How can he be in love with me when he hates me so much?
“You’re not listening to me Ava” he says as the pain changes to frustration.
“I am; you’re the one that’s confused, Rowan. How can you be in love with me now? You’ve hated me up until a few months ago. You have proven over and over again how little you care for me. You have hurt me more times than I can count, all in the name of punishing me for ruining your relationship with Emma. You held on to her for years, and now all of a sudden, you want me to believe that you love me?”
The familiar pain creeps back up, but I force it down. I have no time or energy to feel the constant
heartache.
“I know, and you’ll never know how much I regret hurting you, but if you could only give me a chance, I promise I’ll never hurt you again and that I’ll heal the wounds I caused.” He whispers brokenly, his eyes staring at me.
“You have to realize that just because you say you love me doesn’t make it true, Rowan. You had nine years with me, but not once did you give me a chance. I loved you with everything I was, yet you broke me with everything you had. How do you expect me to overcome that? Why would I give you a chance when you never gave me one?”
shift my eyes away from his. I didn’t want to see his pain. I didn’t want to see the regret and guilt. It was too much.
