“Not in my current state. Istabbedhim, Cecy. Even if he’s able to overlook that, I can’t. I’m terrified about the thought of hurting him again—even unintentionally. It’s why my brain chose amnesia. The idea that I caused him pain broke me so much that I couldn’t survive with my memories intact.”
“So you’ll give up? Just like that?”
“Just like that. Unless I make sure I’m no longer a threat to him, and most importantly, to myself, so that he doesn’t have to deal with an invalid.”
“You’renotan invalid. And you can tell him what you think. If the unholy number of calls he makes to Ari and me is any indication, I’m sure he’ll wait for as long as it takes.”
“I don’t want him to wait. It’s better if he moves on.”
“That’s virtually impossible.”
“He’s a man with a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders. He’ll get over this bleak chapter in his life.”
“And you’ll let him?”
“Why wouldn’t I?”
“Ava…you turned into a raging witch at uni whenever you saw a female around him. You made it your mission to chase them away as if they were poisonous flies, and we both know you did that because you couldn’t handle seeing him with someone else. Youstillcan’t, considering all the murder plans you’ve had about other women flirting with him over the past few months. And now you’re telling me you’llwillinglywatch him move on?”
“I have to. I have to be mature enough to let go of what’s never been mine.” My next words come out in a strangled tone. “Even if it hurts.”
“Aww, come here.”
Cecily hugs me as I cry softly against her.
I wish it was the last time I cried because of Eli King.
But my tears seem to believe they belong to him.
Like everything else about me.

COLE
Irecognized my life wouldn’t be peaceful the moment this motherfucking twat walked up to my eldest daughter the day she was born and kissed her on the mouth.
That was when he was a six-year-old twat.
At the time, my life flashed before my eyes and I swear I saw myself slicing his throat with a blunt knife—so it’d hurt more and he’d die slowly—then breaking his legs and burying him in a ditch.
Without his organs.
Those would be sold on the black market for an average price because they’d surely be rejected by their host, considering he’s a toxic parasite.
Unfortunately, I missed a few chances to execute my murder plan, mainly because the twat’s twatty father has been accompanying him at all times as if he caught a whiff of what I’d do to his son if I ever found him alone.
Before I knew it, he’d grown up into a man who was able to fight me off. But I have people looking into autopsy-proof poison. Sure, it’s not as gory or glamorous as my original plan, but it’d do to eradicate him from my eldest princess’s life.
For good.
However, he came to his senses and granted her a divorce and even revoked guardianship rights, so I thought, great. Now, I’m finally rid of the twat.
Time to celebrate.
Alas, that hasn’t been the end of him.
For two months, Eli ‘Parasite’ King has been dropping by the institute during Ava’s sleep time and spends the entire night watching her through the door like a fucking creep.
