Chapter 0302
Rowan.
“You’ve got to give me something, Reaper… Anything at this point, honestly.” My voice
was strained, and I
was doing all I could to prevent myself from lashing out.
It was frustrating as hell that we still don’t know who the F*** was behind Ava’s attack. It
was F***ing with my head that whoever hurt her was still out there. Was still walking scot–
free, as if the bastard hadn’t
hurt the woman I love.
Every day I leave the house or Ava leaves our home, worry fills me. I can’t help the
questions that flood and attack my mind. What if someone hurts her when she’s home?
What if someone attacks her when
she’s out in the streets?
I know I have hired the best b*dyguards, and Reaper has his men watching over her too,
but I still can’t
help the worst scenarios that keep flooding my mind day in and day out.
“You’re not the only one frustrated by the whole damn situation.” Reaper snaps back, his
restlessness very clear in his voice. “But I’ve tried everything to find this guy, and nada.
Absolutely nothing. I couldn’t
even find the damn car they used.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI frown as the details pour out of his mouth. I would have snapped back, but his statement
distracted me.
“That’s impossible? How is there no record or evidence of the car?” I ask. “Unless the
bastards torched it
after us.”
It’s the only thing that made sense,
worked close together, but there hasn’t been anything. Nothing
to point us in the right direction. My men can’t find a damn thing, and neither can his
men. The police are
also useless in this case.
“That’s what I thought, too.” His reply is cold.
I’m not one to be unnerved, but Reaper does unnerve me. There was just something about
the F***er that was devious and sinister. If it weren’t for the fact that I needed his help in
keeping Ava safe, I wouldn’t be
associated with him in the first place
“So what will we do now?” he asks after a while.
It’s a question that I’ve been asking myself a lot lately.
“We wait and hope that whoever they are, they’ll sl*p up. Once that happens, we’ll be
there to catch them.”
My mind wanders to Ava. Every minute and every hour, she’s all I can think about. I’m not
ashamed to say
of hold she has on me.

“By the way, I need a favor.” Reaper rips me from my musings, bringing me back to the
present.
Leaning forward in my chair, I clutch my phone tightly, curious about what Reaper would
need help with.
We were alike in some aspects, such as this. We both would never ask each other for help
unless it was
truly necessary.
“With what?”
“I need Corrine’s address,” he states in a flat voice, devoid of any emotion.
I fall back into my chair and grin. Ah, so I wasn’t wrong that day at the hospital. Something
had passed
between them. It was in the way that both of them stared at each other. As if they couldn’t
pull their eyes
away.
“Can’t you just have her checked out? I’m sure it wouldn’t take one of your men long
before you had the
address you’re looking for.
Men like us always get what we want. It doesn’t even take that much digging to find the
information we
are looking for. Which makes me all the more curious about why he would ask me for a
favor.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, but I want to do things the right way. Somehow I feel Corrine isn’t the kind of women
to appreciate a
stranger digging into her life.” He breathes out. “This is the best course of action. If I show
up at her
doorstep and she asks how I got her address, I will simply say you gave it to me since she
and Ava are
friends.”
“Seriously? Do you want Ava to castrate me? Especially if she finds out that you’re a
criminal. That is just
not F***ing right.” I growl standing up.
I am double sure that Corrine would tell Letty… And even though Ava doesn’t really
remember Reeper,
Letty would still fill her in because the woman simply doesn’t know how to keep her mouth
shut.
“Say’s the guy that’s still fooling Ava by making her believe that you two are still married,”
he says, clicking
his tongue before hanging up.
Touche‘.
Sighing, I stare at my office, wondering why the hell I was still there when it was already
time to go home Reaper is right, though; I was a F***ing hypocrite for speaking about
rights and wrongs when I was still
lying to Ava.
