Chapter 0166
The only reason our company was still standing was because we were as powerful as the
Howell’s. Their pulling out and getting their loyal investors to do the same hadn’t affected
us that much.
I wasn’t foolish enough to think it would end there. They may not have been able to
destroy our company, but I’m F***ing sure they’ll look for another way to get their
revenge. I won’t even fight them. They were right to come after me. I deserve everything
they plan to do to me for the way I treated their daughter.
“Is that what has you so dejected? That she refused to help you.” Gabe looks at him in
sympathy.
Travis lets out a long, tired breath. “No. It’s what she said. She said she didn’t consider me
her family. In
other words, I was nothing to her.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI see the pain it causes him, but I don’t feel any sympathy for him. We were horrible to
her. Her treatment
towards us was less than we deserved.
“What did you F***ing expect? I keep asking you guys that question,” Gabe grumbles.
“I know. I don’t know why I keep expecting her to be as she was. Every trace of the old
Ava is gone. The only time
you see glimpses of her is when she’s with Noah.” Travis slumps in his seat, looking
defeated.
My phone rings, drawing my attention from their conversation. I didn’t recognize the
number. For a moment, I thought of ignoring it, but I thought otherwise, 1
“Didn’t I tell you I’d get back at you” the familiar voice says.
“What the F*** do you want?” I ask angrily, not in the mood to F***ing play his damn
games.
Ronny also known as Reaper chuckles. “Don’t you want to know what, or more specifically,
who I have?”
I’m not one to be fazed, but damn it. Reaper was a crazy F***er. The fact that he sounded
so cocky worried me.
“Spit it out, Ronny, I don’t have all day”
My voice was calm, but a certain kind of panic was rising inside me. He had someone I
cared about. That alone was starting to drive me crazy.
“Since you’re so eager to know, I’ll tell you.” He pauses as if trying to rise suspense, but
all he was doing was pissing me off. “I have two beautiful ladies with me. The love of your
F***ing life and the mother of your kid”
My heart stops for a minute before it starts to beat erratically Travis and CA
“What do you want?” My whole F***ing b*dy was frozen as if I was encased in a block of
ice.

you choose and kill the other one. Aren’t I being nice? You get to walk away with one of
them instead of me killing all of
them”
Fuck! This was worse than I expected. The F***er was clearly out of his F***ing mind.
“Remember, time is ticking. “Tick, toc, tick, tock,” he says right before the lines goes
dead.
“What is it?” Gabe asks me, seeing my bothered look.
“Ronny has Ava and Emma” I pause, taking a deep breath to try and calm myself. “He
asked me to
choose.”
“Fucking shit!” Travis shouts, his voice reverberating through the room.
This shit was F***ed up.
I was going to do everything to get them both back safe and sound. But if push came to
shove I knew in a heartbeat who I would choose. Only problem is, would I be forgiven for
costing the other her life.
