Chapter 81
- As Ava absorbed his confession, her emotions danced between disbelief, sorrow, and a lingering connection that she couldn't entirely sever. Her heart ached as she confronted the stark reality of the man before her—a man she had known, cared for, and shared moments with. In the silence that followed, Ava's mind raced, torn between understanding and the necessity of taking a stand against his actions.
- Beyond the confines of their conversation, police officers stood as silent observers, a reminder that this encounter was a consequence of choices that had spiraled beyond control. The room was charged with a tension that mirrored the complexity of human emotions, and as the dialogue between Ava and Ethan continued, they were confronted with the unsettling truth that their lives had become inextricably entwined in a web of love, jealousy, and betrayal that had taken them to the precipice of an irreversible path.
- In the dimly lit recesses of that room, emotions coiled like serpents, their presence a palpable weight upon the air—an electric tension that crackled and surged, winding its way through the very space that separated Ava and Ethan. Within this charged atmosphere, anger had etched its mark onto Ava's countenance, casting her features in the stark contours of fury, her voice a keen-edged blade as she unleashed her questions, each word slicing through the dense atmosphere with the precision of a surgeon's scalpel. "So," she began, her voice dripping with accusation and incredulity, "you've stabbed Leon. Tell me, does that change anything between us now?" The question, pregnant with implications, hung suspended in the air like a storm cloud threatening to unleash its tempest.
