Chapter 0286
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just called her parents because she fainted while in the washroom.” She tries to stay calm, but I can hear the tremble in her voice.
“Is that right?”
“Yes. She collapsed and it didn’t feel right leaving her there so I called her parents over.”
I’ve known Emma for a long time. She might have changed, but not by much. I can easily tell that she was
lying to me.
“If that’s the case, then why does she have a wound on the back of her head?”
She tries to remove my hands from her jaw, but I hold on steadfast. I was hurting her, but I didn’t give a
flying fuck. Not when she’d hurt my woman.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I just found her in there, lying on the floor.” She tries to defend
herself, but her eyes betray her.
“And what were you doing in the same restaurant as her?” I wanted to get the full picture.
Was this premeditated? Or was it something that happened on the spur of the moment?
“Christine and I met up for lunch.” She stutters. “We didn’t know that Ava and her parents would be eating
there too.”
She really wasn’t doing a good job at trying to hide wrongdoing.
At the mention of Christine, and knowing now that the bitch also hated Ava, a picture of what happened
was already starting to form in my head.
“I’m giving you one last chance to tell the truth about what the fuck happened, or I swear you won’t like what I do to you,” I snarl, feeling my patience reach its limit.
I swear, I don’t know.”
Tell me the fucking truth, Emma!” I yell, the sound echoing throughout the room.
Travis tries to defend his sister “Maybe she honestly doesn’t know.”
“Shut the fuck up, Trevor. I wasn’t talking to you.
My grip on her jaw tightens. I swear I would never hit a woman, but right now I was very tempted.
eyes fill with tears, but they don’t move me. Everything I had for her was now dead and gone. He
I didn’t mean to,” she sobs. “I swear, I didn’t mean to.”
“What the hell did you do, Emma?” Travis asks, fear lacing his voice.
I
He knows very well that nobody crosses me. Nobody hurts those I care about and gets
way with it.
“I shoved her… I can’t even remember what she said to me, but I got really angry and shoved her hard.
She hit the back of her head on the wall.”
I let go of her as if she’d burned. The action was so forceful that she stumbled a bit before righting herself.
“That wasn’t so hard, was it?” I ask with a wicked grin.
“I swear it was an accident.”
I didn’t want to listen to her damn excuse. Before anyone can move, I grab her hair with a tight fist. She
lets out a shriek of pain that does nothing to satisfy the beast inside me that demands blood.
Travis tries to get his sister out of my grasp, but it’s no use. I shove him back, making him fall on the
couch
“Now listen to me and listen well, because this is the last time I’m ever going to say this again. First, I
don’t fucking love you, Emma. In fact, I’m disgusted by you and your actions. Get it in your thick head that
what I felt for you is long gone. The woman who owns my fucking heart is the same one you decided to
hurt today, and instead of admitting your actions, you decided to be a fucking coward.”
She tries to speak, but I don’t let her. Letting go of her hair, I grab her neck.
Tears continue falling down her face, as if what I said was tearing her into pieces.
“Second, you made the biggest mistake of your life when you hurt Ava. I don’t fucking care if it was an accident or not. You will pay for hurting her. Third, I don’t want to see you anywhere near Ava. You see her in a room. Walk out. You see her walking in your direction; you avoid her. I don’t care if you have to jump in front of a bus to do it; as long as I don’t find out you were in the same vicinity as her, am I clear?”
“Y–yes” she says, nodding her head eagerly as tears continue to fall down her cheeks.
I let go of her, and she gasps. Taking in as much precious oxygen as she could.
Turning around, I don’t give her another look as I head out of the door.
is that it? Travis asks almost fearfully. “Is she forgiven?”

“Not by a long shot.” I give Emma a disgusted look before looking at Travis, “You should have warned your sister not to cross me. Now she’s going to learn the hard way what happens when you mess with
- me.
With that, I walk out of their house and make a call. After this, if Emma is intelligent, she’ll stay away from
me and mine, or I swear I will destroy her.
