A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 296

AVA

I racked my brain for who it could be, but all my brain came up with, was pure static. No matter how hard I tried to think, I just couldn't come up with who that might be.

Had I imagined it somehow? He looked like he had been staring at me. It was weird

“Relax, Ava.” I muttered underneath my breath, whilst clutching the cup in my hand. “You can do this. Just hang in there till you find your brother.” I told myself.

It sounded easier to be honest. After standing awkwardly by the pool, I decided to start my search all over again. In one swift motion, I ducked towards the door whilst searching for familiar faces. My eyes scanned high and low, but all I came up with, was nothing.

There was no sign of the boys anywhere.

I was just about to give up hope, when my eyes caught something in the corner. It was a narrow hallway opened on the right, and from the murmurs and voices that filtered through the first door, I already knew it was occupied.

“New plan.” I huffed. “Find Asher, murder him, then get Liam to come home with me. Bingo.”

As slowly as I could, I made my way towards the door. I'd barely gotten there when I peeked into the room.

There were roughly about seven or eight teens lounging in there. They'd formed a small circle made up of mismatched cushions, and with their backs against a bookshelf that held old and dusty boardgames, I was able to spot one of the devils who'd brought me here.

Liam's blonde hair seemed to catch the light, and while it may or may not be the reason I was able to recognize him, all I wanted to do was chop his hair off his head, before feeding it to him.

I was still figuring out ways to murder him when someone's voice broke through my thoughts.

“Ava?” Liam called, and I froze. A smile made its way to his face, but I didn't dare return it. “You're here. Come on in.”

I didn't move. I couldn't.

“Bookworm Ava actually showed!” someone cackled. He told them? “You have to tell us how you managed to get her out of the house.”

“Shut it, Travis!” Liam was on his feet in a second. As he jogged towards me, he made sure to block me from the rest of his group's view.

“I'm going home. I can’t believe your friends were all in on this with you.” I didn't even let him speak. “Enjoy your party.”

“Ava wait.” I turned to leave, but Liam was quick to stop me. Thanks to how fast it happened, the sprite sloshed around in my cup, before streaming down my leg and into my shoes. Great. Just great. “Ava, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ditched you. Oh and about the shoes too.”

“Yeah.” I wasn't having it. Not one bit. I yanked my arm off.

“You really can't be mad at me sis. Come on, I'm sorry..” Liam’s grabbed my free hand, while his other hand scratched the back of his neck sheepishly. “I'm sorry for being a complete ass and leaving you all alone. You should know why I brought you here.”
