Ex-Husband’s Regret by Evelyn M.M

He turns and gives me a blinding smile. Catching me off guard. We rarely talk and he has

always gone to great lengths to ignore and avoid me, so the smile catches me off guard.

“It’s little Ava” he shouts. “How are you doing?” he asks.

It’s then I realize he was completely drunk. That was the only reason he looked so happy

and

receptive towards me.

I take the chair next to him. Immediately he orders me a drink. I take my first taste and it

was

disgusting. I have never drank in my life but I force myself to do it.

“So how’s school?” I ask, feeling myself relax little by little.

He smirks and nudges my shoulder. “Is that really what you want to ask me?”

“No, I want to ask what you’re doing here drinking alone but I didn’t want to come off as

rude.”

He sways in his seat as he leans forward. “Aren’t you sweet” he says then goes back to

drinking

Are you okay?” I ask in concem. He wasn’t acting like his normal self.

He ignores me and continues drinking, I continue drinking too and just keep quiet Waiting

“She doesn’t want to marry me” he says after a while.

I stare at him. I was already feeling a kind of buzz.

“Who? Emma?”

“Yes, I asked her to marry me. I had the ring and I proposed. I even took her to a special

place and

got down on one knee. I did everything right but she still turned me down.”

I look at him in shock. Unable to believe that he had asked her to marry him. I’m hurt, but

I push

it down.

“She said that she wasn’t ready. That she wants to focus on school first. Why didn’t she

want to

marry me? Doesn’t she love me?” he ask, his voice full of hurt and pain.

I didn’t know what to say. Part of me was glad she turned him down, while the other hurt

on his

behalf because I could see that it was tearing him apart.

“You are awesome Rowan. If she doesn’t want to marry you then that’s her loss. I say fuck

her, you

can do so much better” I raise my drink up.

He stares at me for a while before smiling. “You’re right, fuck her” he slurs as he clinks our

glasses.

I don’t know for how long we stay there. We talk, dance and drink. By the time we were

leaving we

were both drunk, him more so than me.

He suggest I share his hotel room and I agree. I couldn’t go home drunk. My parents would

skin

me alive given I could barely stand straight.

He calls a cab and a few minutes later we are in his room

The moment the door closes behind us, he is on me. Kissing me and touching me. He rips

my

clothes off until I’m left in nothing but my panties.

“Fuck! I’ve been waiting for this for so long” he slurs, while removing his own clothes.

Igiggle. “Me too..are you sure you want this? You want me?”

This seem too good to be true. That I was finally getting the man of my dream.

“Definitely”

He leads me to the bed. Everything is a blur. I feel his touch, his kisses and his love. It hurt

at first since I was a virgin, but he made it better. Soon we were both climaxing.

“Emma” he groaned her name as he came.

As I drift into nothingness, I can’t help but think that something was wrong. He just

wouldn’t confuse me with my sister right?

“Fuck!” the familiar panicked voice wakes me up.

I open my eyes and sit up in bed wondering what the hell was happening, and why Rowan

was in my bedroom.

I’m struck by horror when I see him pacing the room shirtless. It’s then I realize that I was

naked.

I scramble to get out of bed. Holding the sheets tightly to my chest.

“No, no, no” I start chanting. Fear and panic gripping me.

His eyes turn to me. They’re burning with rage and hatred. I try to think back to what

happened.

Things are a little blurry. What I thought was a damn dream was not.

“What the fuck happened and what the hell are you doing in my hotel room?” Rowan asks

me,

anger lacing his voice.

“I–I” the words refuse to leave my mouth.

Not only because I was a mess but also because I didn’t know what to explain things. How

do I tell

him that I had an app that tracks his movement when he’s in town? How do I explain that I

never

planned to sleep with him?

I start picking up my clothes. My hands trembling. The fact that I was sore and winced

with each

step proved that last night wasn’t a dream. I had slept with my sister’s boyfriend. The guy

she was

in love with. The one she planned on having a future with.

“I asked you a fucking question” he shouts, throwing a lamp against the wall.

“I found you at a bar and we started drinking, that’s all I remember” I lie even though I

remember

bits and pieces.

He was livid Guilt was written all over his face. Rowan loved Emma and because of nie he

might.

just lose her

“And you want me to believe that? You have been after me since I was twelve. I go out to

drink and

you’re just conveniently there?” he growls, firing those questions.

I ignore him and put my clothes as best as I can without flashing him my bits.

“You think I planned all this?” I asks motioning to the room and scattered clothes. “You’re

not the

only one who was drunk, Rowan” I insist.

I might have gone there intentionally but I hadn’t planned on getting drunk and losing my

virginty to him.

He grips his hair so tightly I’m afraid he’ll rip chunks of it off.

“What am I going to do? I thought I was making love to Emma” he cries. “She’ll never

forgive me

for this, she’ll hate. I love her so much and because of you I’m going to lose her”

I feel hurt. Broken inside. Utterly shattred that he thought I was Emma. I don’t remember

every

single detail, but I thought it was special, and now he tells me that it wasn’t me he was

making

love to.

I look at him and push away my pain. He looked liked he needed someone, so I walk to

him and

place my hand on his shoulder. Trying to give him comfort.

Instead he reacts violently. He pushes me so forcefully that I fall.

“Don’t fucking touch you bitch!” he roars, anger and bitterness radiating off him in waves.

I stand up, tears filling my eyes. “Rowan, I never planned on this happening”

I can tell he’s already lost to me.

“Just fucking leave… I never want to see your face ever again” he says sitting down on the

bed,

heartbroken. Tears swimming in his eyes.

The look on his face breaks my heart. He looked torn, shattered. I wanted to help him but I

knew

he wouldn’t accept my help. So instead I leave.

I wanted this to be a bad dream, but it wasn’t. I had messed up big time.

she oes it again and again until I’m cowering and crying on the floor. This was my penance

for what I

ad done.

Emma!” she was about to hit me again when father’s voice stops her. “What is the

meaning of this, why are you hitting your sister?”

I look to the door to find him and mother standing there in shock. They have never been

my biggest fan, but now they’ll downright hate me when the truth comes out.

Both mine and Rowan’s family were looking forward to the union of Rowan and Emma. Our

mother’s couldn’t stop talking about it. Everyone in our families were beyond happy when

they started dating. I ruined all that a few nights ago.

“She’s no sister of mine!” she shrieks looking deranged.

My mother sighs, looking at me emotionlessly, “What did she do this time? Did she dye

your conditioner again?”

“I wish…the stupid hoe seduced Rowan when he was drunk and slept with him” Emma’s

hands were fisted as she answered, tears still pouring from her eyes

I don’t know what Rowan told them but that wasn’t what happened.

Our parents turn to me. Disgust written all over their faces. Father’s face soon turns angry

and cold All of which are directed at me. I’m not surprised though, Emma was his princess

while I was nothing.

“I didn’t I was drunk too, I didn’t mean to sleep with him” I defend myself, my vice coming

I’m taken aback That she would suggest I raped him. Why wouldn’t she believe me when I

said 1 was drunk? That I didn’t intentionally set out to hurt her.

“Daddy, what am I going to do? She’s ruined everything. How can I look at Rowan the

same knowing he slept with this shut” she crosses the room and gets into father’s arms.

Father looks at me like I’m the scum of the earth. Like I wasn’t also his daughter.

“I didn’t raise you to be slut, Ava. l’or what you’ve done to your sister, I’ll never forgive

you” he says before walking away with a crying Emma.

His words hurt but I push it away. It was also on the tip of my mouth to tell him that he

never 1aised me at all, but I hold back

“I hope you’re happy now…it’s sad that you would stoop so low just so you can steal a

man that doesn’t belong to you. You disgust me Ava, I don’t know why god cursed me with

you as a daughter” mother says before also leaving.

I’m left on the floor crying. Feeling more alone than ever. Wishing that I could wake up

from this terrible dream. Knowing that my life will never be the same.
