In case you haven’t noticed, his feelings aren’t mutual,” she says, “You will not stand in his way of
Winning Ava, end that is a warning. We coddled you without realizing we’re turning you into an entitled
brat, That ends today. You’re thirty, for heaven’s sake, grow the fuck up.”
Both Travis and I stare at Mom in shock. She has never, and I mean, never cursed.
With that, she leaves the room. We hear her footsteps, and she climbs up the stairs before a door bangs
in the distance.
I turn to Travis. He’s my big brother. He’s always had my back against Ava.
“Please tell me you don’t think and feel the same as mom,” I plead as tears fill my eyes.
He couldn’t also be against me. He has always been my pir of strength. I don’t know what I’d do if he
also turned his back on me.
but mom is right
I’m sorry, Emma, You’re a grown–up. You have a child and responsibilities, yet you’re chasing a man
who no longer wants you. You’re still living in the past, not realizing that everyone else has moved on
and moved forward. You have to let go of Rowan. His heart no longer beats for you”
Getting angry at his words, I shove him hard. “How would you know that? How do you know he doesn’t
love me? I know he does. Deep down, I know he loves me.”

“I know because he’s my best friend,” he pauses, and then continues gently. “He himself also told me
that he loves Ava. He wants her.”
My heart shatters, and I begin to shake my head. I try wiping the tears from my face, but they just keep
falling down.
This can’t be happening. Rowan can’t love Ava. I was back. Everything was supposed to fall into ce.
We were supposed to continue where we left off. He was supposed to be with me. To want me. To love
me. Not Ava. Never Ava.

“You’re lying.” I whisper.
“I’m not,” he says, trying to pull me into his arms, but I step back. “Deep down, you know I’m not lying.
You’ve felt the shift in him, but you’re fighting it because you don’t want to ept that he no longer
wants.”
Why the hell did it feel like my heart was breaking? Like my soul was being ripped apart? The pain this
time was much worse than it was when I found out Rowan had slept with Ava.

Back then, It hurt, but I knew deep down that he still loved me. That I was always his choice. This time,
Though, ‘s different. I’m not his choice. Instead, he is choosing the woman who tore us apart in the first
ce
I turn around and begin walking out of the door. Travis calls my name, but I ignore him. He was thest
person I wanted to talk to today,
I immediately call Molly. She picks up immediately.
“What’s wrong, babes?” she asks, sensing my emotional state.
“Travis.” I stammer his name, “He told me that Rowan doesn’t want me.”
I hear her sigh on the other end. “I told you this before, but you wouldn’t believe me. From what you’ve
told me, I tried telling you that his concern for Ava went much deeper than just worrying over the mother
of his son.”
I hated hearing her confirm this, I didn’t want Ava with Rowan. She broke us apart. I can’t simply let her
win. I can’t let her take Rowan from me.
“So, what can I do?” I ask anxiously, running my hand through my hair. “How do I get him back?”
“There is nothing you can do, Emma. Just let him go. His heart no longer belongs to you,” she says
kindly, but I’m not having it. Seems like she was also on the Rowan and Ava ship.
“That is not a fucking solution!” I fling my phone across the front yard and watch it as it smashes against
the fountain.
I felt like I was going crazy. Like my world was being turned upside down all over again. I felt so alone.
Angrily, I wipe my tears. I’m not giving up on Rowan, but for now I needed to let out my frustrations.
