Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M novel Chapter 368

Prologue.

Gabe.

I sit in my office, my mind reeling. Worry for my brother consumes me day and night. It’s been a couple of months since everything went south with Emma and since he informed us that he married Ava because he’d gotten her pregnant.

Since then, since he lost Emma, he hasn’t been the same. It’s like something inside him broke. Like he was only half living. Travis told me that Emma wasn’t doing any better, but as much as I treasure her, she wasn’t my main concern. My loyalties will always lie with Rowan, no matter what he did.

I pull my drawer open and retrieve a packet of cigarettes. Lighting one up, I drag it in, feeling myself calm down just a little bit. I know it’s a bad habit, but I just can’t stop. Not when it’s the only thing apart from sex that is able to make me relax.

Standing up from my chair, I eye my office. I was interning at our family’s company. It’s been there for generations and has always been run by the men in our family. We aren’t sexists or anything like that; it’s just that there haven’t been any females born in generations. For some reason, the men in our family only produce males. Once, there was hope when my mom got pregnant after Rowan and me, but she miscarried at five months. The baby had been a girl.

My door opens, but I don’t turn around. I’ve fucked her enough times to immediately recognize her perfume.

“Gabe, there’s a man here to see you.”

Even when she’s delivering such mundane news, her voice is sultry and sexy. Apart from her looks and sex appeal, it was the other thing that attracted me to her. Her voice alone can make you fantasize about how she sounds when you’re buried deep inside her.

“Does he have an appointment?” I asked, finally turning around.

Damn, her curves never cease to distract me. It isn’t once or twice I’ve called her in for a quickie. She’s the distraction I need when my brain can’t stop thinking and worrying about Rowan.
