“Please come in” Letty says behind me, startling the crap out of me.
I realize that I had just been staring at them like a fool. Too lost in my head to say anything to
them
I move aside and let them through. My mind still reeling from the fact that The Howell’s were in
my house right now. Also that they were potentially my family.
“How are you even out?” I ask turning to face Ethan the moment we were all seated.
“Bail” is all he said, his eyes looking everywhere except in my direction.
Yesterday Brian had asked me if I wanted to press charges against Ethan. He said that it would
make our case stronger against him.
I wasn’t able to give him an answer because I wasn’t sure. Yes, I get what he did to me was
horrible and I don’t know if I can ever forgive him or forget. (3)
Despite all that, Ethan has also taught me a lot about myself and life. I just didn’t know if I had it
in me to press charges,
Travis was pressing charges and so were the police department. To get in, Ethan had faked
documents. As much I couldn’t press the charges myself, Brian said that they would still do it
because they had opened a file on me when the murder attempts had began.
“I’m sorry for what my son did to you, Ava” Nora says, her voice cutting through the tense and
awkward atmosphere.
I just stare at her. I didn’t know what to feel honestly. The fact that she still called her his son
meant that she was okay with what he did. If she was, then I am not sure I want her in my life if
that the case, and if it turns out that she is my mother,
“You’re apologizing for his wrong doings and I’m going to take a guess that you’re the one that
posted his bail. If what he said was the truth does that mean you’re okay with what he did to your
biological daughter? A daughter who he told us you mourned over for years?” Letty poses the
question that I was too afraid to ask. 4
“We’re by no means okay with what he did. It was downright wrong and evil” Theo says through
clenched teeth. His eyes cutting through Ethan.
*TS BONUS
Dagute he’s ander right now fean still tell that he loves him. Itle Witten all over his face bome with Nova
Then why ball him out? He should pay for what he did to Ava I don’t eate what you thunk smere has done, but tarmg with their feelings while knowing that you plan to kill them to just disgusting and evil Letty persists not letting the matter go
Every time Fm reminded of what Ethan did just leaves me raw It was like pouring salt on a wound
“Because he’s still our son and we love him. I may not have birthed him but he has been ours since he was ten when we adopted him Nora says with tears swimming in her eyes
I wanted to hate her answer but I couldn’t. As a mother, I would stand by Noah no matter what. Sure I would be hurt and disappointed if he did something so terrible, but I wouldn’t abandon him I would be by his side till the very end
I stare at the man in question only to find him staring back at me. Just like yesterday, there isn’t
any emotion in his cold gaze. I can’t help but wonder if this is how he normally looks or is it the
warm look he used to give me
Shaking those thoughts away, I pull my gaze from him and stare at Nora and Theo.
“The fact that you’re here means you want something from me, so how may I help you? If it’s
about his case then I’m sorry to inform you that I have nothing to do with it and if that’s all then
please leave I get straight to the point. There was no need beating around the bush.
I see their shocked faces, but I ignore it. I was just being honest and beside I don’t see any other
reason why they would be here.
“We came because Ethan told us the truth. We came because you’re our daughter” Nora answers,
tears filling her eyes.
I wanted to believe her, but I couldn’t. The family that raised me didn’t love me and they’ve had
twenty eight years with me. I didn’t expect Nora and Theo to love me either. They didn’t know me
and from the looks of things they really loved Ethan.
hate, every pain they gave me comes to the surface.
point of making me stay with them, only for them to hurt me over and over again?”
I give her a small smile as we slowly detangle from each other. “Yes”
