A Divorce He Regrets (Raina and Alexander) novel Chapter 331

LIAM

I felt like a fucking idiot. Or maybe I am. All the time that I spent thinking that Ava was being reckless, crazy even for throwing herself at that bastard Kye like she and lost her goddamn mind, I should have known that something was wrong… and I should have looked harder.

She had been pretending like she was okay and I let her pretend all because I was slow when in reality something was up with her. Why the fuck didn’t I think of that?

If I had known better, I wouldn’t have ratted her out to our father like that. I had handed her over to dad like a snitchy little shit, like some righteous brother who thought he was protecting her by blowing everything up even after she begged him not to. And now? Now I had to live with that look on her face when I did it. Like I had pushed her into a burning house and then proceeded to lock the door.

She must be feeling like shit now. It had been two days. Two days of Ava not saying much or even looking me in the eye. Two days of her walking around like a shadow. I saw her trying to be normal by helping mom with dinner, folding laundry and even offering small smiles that didn’t quite reach her eyes. But I could see through it all… her shoulders were tight like she was holding herself together with paper clips and breath.

And every fucking time that I saw Kye’s face in school, I couldn’t contain my anger and I had the urge to break his fucking nose. What kind of psycho does that to someone? Holding something over them to keep them close. He had to be beyond fucked up to be doing that to my sister.

I had seen the way he looked at her multiple times like he owned her. Not like he wanted her and definitely not like he loved her.

It was always like she was a possession that he refused to lose and I could take it anyone, just sitting back and doing nothing while he ate her alive from the inside out.

So when we were in the car, driving back home from school, I told her something different from what I had been chanting into her head.

“Keep seeing him.”

She blinked, turning to face me. “What?”
