A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 320

AVA

He just stood there, leaning against the hood of his car like he owned the street, like time was on his side and I was not cold or barefoot or terrified. His eyes were locked on mine, unblinking, unreadable and cold.

I could feel my stomach twisting because something in his silence sliced deeper than his outing or threatening ever could. Kye didn’t speak a word to me, well not at first. Instead, he waited and watched me like he was waiting for me to say the wrong thing.

He had told me to come outside, that was all.

There was no explanation, no tone… just a text that I was supposed to get. Just two words; Come downstairs now.”

I had hesitated because I had thought… I was sure that maybe he just wanted sex and that this was just another messed up encounter in a string of bad decisions I kept telling myself I didn’t want but I still let happen.

I crossed my arms, my skin cold against the night air as I stood barefoot in front of him. “Liam had my phone,” I started quietly, deciding to explain things to him even though he hadn’t asked. “That’s why I couldn’t reply to your texts. I didn’t mean to ignore you, I just didn't….”

He nodded but not a single word came from him. Instead, he just stared, like he was trying to get a glimpse of my soul.

That’s it? I wondered. There were no accusations, no insults or even threats. Just that calm life of his that always carried something sharp and dangerous underneath it. His silence wasn’t safety… it was far from it. It was a warning.

“I have something in mind. A plan of some sort, ” he suddenly muttered after a while, not even sparing me a glance as he opened the car door. “But first, you’re going somewhere with me. Get in.”
