Rowan. The date was nothing but perfect. If I had my way, it wouldn’t have ended. Every moment I spent with her was heaven, and I wish I’d done this sooner. I honestly don’t know why I never gave myself a chance to be happy with Ava. It bugs me that we could have been happy all these years if only
My heart stops as fear that she’s remembered everything crashes into me. “Tell me what's wrong, Ava; I can’t help you if I don’t know what’s wrong,” I plead with her. More tears continue falling down her face. Pain and hurt shadow her eyes. It literally breaks my fucking heart to see her like this

“I didn’t use Ava; I wanted you,” he says as he pockets the key. I guess I wasn’t leaving the room. “You wanted me? Then how come you took a shower the moment you pulled out of me? How come you never took me raw without wearing a condom first? How come you always held back? Hell, you rarely even ki
Chapter 168 I’m still reeling from everything that Rowan told me. Everything that he told me made sense, but I just don’t know whether I can trust his words. My mind has been in turmoil since then. I didn’t know whether to believe him or not. I get that he had a hard time letting go of everything
