“What the hell happened to you?” Gabe asks looking at the ice pack that was plastered to my face.
“Ethan” I just grunt. Not in the mood to deal with my brother.
Fuck! I still can’t believe that I got into a fight with the fucking idiot. I was just so pissed and I let
his words get to me.
“The cop?” He asks curiously. “Ava’s new man?”
At that I blow. I take the ice pack and throw it against the wall.
“He’s not her fucking man” I snap standing up.
My emotions were raw and close to the surface. I still don’t understand why Ava can’t see that the
fucker is a fraud.
I haven’t been able to get anything deeper about him. The reports paint him as an okay guy.
Nothing out of the ordinary, but my gut tell me otherwise. There was just something about him
that rubbed me wrong. Something that he was hiding. My gut has never been wrong before.
“From what I hear, he is…what happened?”
I take a deep breath, trying to cool down the fire burning inside me.
“We were helping Ava move furniture into her new house and he told me to back off. Said that she
was his and he wasn’t going to allow me to ruin things” I admit finally.
Gabe stares at me like he can’t believe what I just said. Like I was trying to figure out what the
hell was wrong with me.
“Seriously? That’s what made you get into a fight with him”
“Yes!”
He sighs before sitting down. “In case you haven’t noticed, she’s no longer your wife and given that
he is dating her, he has every reason to ask you to back off. Isn’t that the same thing you asked of
Ava when you started dating Emma?”
I fist my hand in frustration. Why is it that no one saw what I saw. No one realized the truth? How

“It’s not about that” I seethed. “There is just something about the man that isn’t fucking right. Why
can none of you see that?”
I start pacing my home office. My fury burning so close to the surface. I was almost losing it. First I hear that Emma threatened Noah and that Travis did nothing. Then I had to watch while Ethan
and Ava made googly eyes at each other.
She was so taken by him. So enthralled that she couldn’t see a fucking thing. What the hell was wrong with her? She’s the most cautious person I know, yet she let him into her life without even
question anything.
“What are you talking about?” he asks giving me his whole attention.
I don’t stop pacing. I just couldn’t sit down with all the fucking emotions inside me.
“I don’t know how to fucking explain it, but there is just something I don’t like about him.
Something doesn’t feel right with him”
It doesn’t make any fucking sense, but I can’t ignore the feeling. That’s why I have my P.I
investigating him.
Gabe says nothing for a while and when he does, I feel like punching the crap out of him.
“Could it be that you’re jealous of him?”
“The fuck I am” I bellow. “Why the hell would I be jealous of him? I don’t have any fucking feelings
for Ava, remember?”
What he was saying was absurd. I could never be jealous when it comes to Ava. She is my son’s
mother and I’m looking after him. That’s all.
“Look, you were married to her for nine fucking years, it’s hard to stay with someone for that long
and not develop any feelings towards them. Especially someone who isn’t truly evil”
“Then explain to me why you feel so strongly about her dating Ethan?” he insists.
We were going round in circles and it was only making me more pissed. I thought at least he
“I’ll be the first to admit that what Ava did nine years ago was wrong. We treated her horribly for it, but what if she wasn’t lying when she said she was drunk? What if she was telling the truth?”
