Ex-Husband's Regret

Chapter 0300

I am a nervous wreck. Everything inside is vibrating at an alarming rate. My heart is beating erratically, and my stomach is in knots.

I stare at the prison walls, not really sure if I should go in or not. I don't know whether I've ever visited Ethan before, but it matters. To me, at this very moment, it was like visiting a stranger.

"Are you going to enter, or will you just stare at the walls the whole damn day? You're wasting my fucking time," the officer guarding the gate mocks me, his rude behavior showing in the way he was sneering at

me.

I hold Iris tightly in my arms and glare at him.

I understand, but one, he doesn't have to be so rude about it... And second, it was his damn job to man the guard, so I doubt I was taking any of his precious time.

"What the hell did you just say to me?" I snap.

If there is one thing I hate, it's rudeness, especially when it is uncalled for.

He rolls his eyes. This just angers me more, making me want to slap him.

"You heard me; I don't think you're deaf... And what are you doing here? Are you a druggy? Or maybe you're a prostitute and you've come here to sell your services? If that's the case, then how much? I could use a break and a good time."

I don't know about you, but I find it offensive that he would think that I'm a prostitute. Don't get me wrong; I have nothing against those that are, but to have some assume that about me is just disrespectful.

Damn it. This isn't how I wanted this day to start. Sure, I was nervous and anxious, but I was also looking forward to seeing the father of my daughter. Now, this pompous ass has completely ruined my day.

"Do you know who the hell I am?" I snarl, getting up in his space.

I wasn't even inside the premise, yet he decided to treat me like shit. Was there a law that said I couldn't take a few seconds to calm my nerves down before entering the facility?

"Let me guess, the president of Mars?" he says, his lips twisted up in a sneer.

I feel my lips pull up in a mocking smirk, "I'm Ava Sharp."

At first, his face registers nothing, but then something like a light bulb goes on behind his eyes. Immediately, fear takes over and he face crumbles making him look like he's aged at least a hundred years.

I took a lucky guess, but I wasn't sure. My name never used to mean anything to anyone, but I guess things have changed. Whether it's because Rowan accepted me, or it's because of my parents or maybe because of Ethan. I didn't know, but I wasn't going to complain about it.

"I'm sorry Ma'am, I didn't know it was you" he apologizes, but it does nothing to move me.

"Your sorry means nothing to me" I sneer. "You were rude when it was uncalled for and assumed some pretty nasty things about me"

"It won't happen again, I promise"

I scoff at him. His tune had changed pretty quickly now that he knew who I was, but would it have been the same if I had been no one?This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

I wasn't fooled. He wasn't truly sorry.

"Oh, trust me, it won't happen again... because you'll soon be getting a call from your superiors" without giving him another look, I crossed the threshold and entered the facility.

I wasn't sure if I was really going to talk to his superiors, but I also wasn't going to let this go. No one disrespected me. He needed to be taught a lesson.

My anxiety had faded when I was busy with the guard. Now, as I walked towards the big doors with the word 'VISITORS' written on top of it, my anxiety magnified a thousandfold.

I got to it and entered. Before they could proceed, they asked me for my details and the person I was there to visit. My heart continues thumping as I give them the information. Turns out, that I had visited once before.

After we're done and I'm given a visitor's badge, they lead me inside.

"Wait here, I'll just go and get him" another guard tells me as he directs me to take a seat at one of the tables.

I comply and sit down. Iris was staring around. Her baby sounds which are usually soothing do nothing to calm me down. I don't think I will calm down until I meet the man.

Minutes later, the guard leads a handcuffed man towards me.

A memory, or what I think is a memory assaults me. A man was standing outside a house I didn't recognized and he had flowers in his hands. He hands them to me, and I smile right before pecking his lips.

As quickly as the memory appears it disappears, leaving me feeling breathless and confused. The man in my memory is the same man being led towards me in cuffs. I have no doubt that It's Ethan.

My eyes track him as he comes and takes a seat opposite me. He turns and faces the guard with his hands held out. After the man uncuffs him, he faces me. His eyes are so blue and so similar to those of Iris.

"Hello, Ava"
