Chapter 0290
Ava.
It’s been about a week since I was discharged from the hospital. Everything so far has been great, even
though I still have this small fear that everything will fall apart.
Emma wasn’t wrong that day. Rowan had always belonged to her. Sure, he is a human being and not simply a damn possession, but Emma always had a hold on his heart. Something I never fully understood.
I used to ask myself what made her special. I wondered how she garnered such love and loyalty from a formidable man such as Rowan. It used to bug me. Used to annoy me. While she had his soft side, I had
his mean and ugly side.
Now the tables are turned, and I’m not ashamed to say that I don’t fully trust this turn of events and
change of heart.
I see the gentleness and affection in his eyes for me. He looked at me like I always wanted, but there is
this nagging feeling that something isn’t really right.
I mean, when did this change happen? Is it before I was shot? Or after? Did the thought of losing me bring
him to his senses? Making him see what was always right in front of him, or was it something else?
He did tell me he was jealous when I started dating Ethan. So maybe that is it. Men are jealous and
possessive creatures. He probably didn’t like it that another man was taking his place in my life when I’d
worshiped him since I was a kid.
“Ava, should I prepare a bath for Iris?” asks Teresa from the doorway to the living room.
“Yes, please”
It was a beautiful day, and the sun was shining. It was the perfect day for my little angel to have her bath.
Minutes later, Teresa informed me that everything was ready. Picking Iris up, I head to the bathroom,
where I check the temperature of the water before stripping Iris naked.
Noah, as usual, was at school, and Rowan was at work. Don’t get me wrong. I love spending time with Iris,
but I was bored like hell.
I’m not used to just sitting around doing nothing Iris sleeps most of the time, and apart from the times
when she wakes up hungry or wet, she rarely throws a fit
soart from along care of Ife who is not a demanding baby, I have nothing else to do with my days.
ke to go back to work, but for now, that is out of the question
I smile when I realize that she’s actually enjoying the bath. She seems oddly fascinated by the bubbles floating around her.
Once we are done, I dry her and place her on the changing table. Blowing kisses on her belly, my heart fills with happiness as I watch her smile in ecstasy. I dress her after a while, then decide to go outside with
her.
We both needed some much–needed vitamin D.
We had not even been there for long when Teresa came rushing towards me.
“Madam, there is someone here to see you.”
I sigh in exasperation. “How many times will I tell you to call me by my name?”
“I’m sorry, I sometimes forget,” she smiles sheepishly.
I couldn’t stay mad at her. She was just too sweet and kind–hearted. She was a whole lot better than our previous house manager. That woman fucking hated me. For some reason, she couldn’t stand my guts. I honestly think it’s the only reason Rowan kept her around. He knew how it bugged me that she
disrespected me at every turn despite being Rowan’s wife.
“Who is it?” I ask her, pulling myself from the memories.
- me.
Looking at the sky above, I pray that I haven’t made a mistake. With a nod, Teresa leaves.
“Hi Ava”
I turn to face the man that I’ve believed was my brother for years. Only problem is that he never regarded me as his sister. Even when we were younger. Emma was his beloved darling sister, while I was nothing
but the bitch that ruined his sweet sister’s relationship.
Hello, I simply replied, not really sure what he was doing here.
How are you?

“Cut the crap Travis, we both know you don’t really care for me. So what really brought you here?”
Again, I’m astonished by this new and bold personality I’m rocking. It’s so weird, but rejuvenating at the same time. I guess the old me got tired of being a doormat. It’s clear from how, at times like this, I don’t
“Please talk to Rowan for me. You’re the only one he’ll probably listen to right now,” he pleads, making me
