Ava’s POV
For several seconds after Ethan walked away, I remained, pacing back and forth. It shouldn’t bother me but unfortunately it did.
The hallway suddenly felt too quiet. Only echos of laughter and hushed conversation from the dinner room filled it.
I hated that he had gotten into my head, EBY as I knew that was exactly what he wanted. But another part of me couldn’t stop replaying everything he had said.
Victoria. Adrian tracking her and destroying the life of the man she was with? The questions stayed with me all the way back to the dining room.
The moment I stepped inside, I noticed the conversation had long moved on. Nobody had stopped talking or stared as I walked in.
They had simply moved on without me and I wasn’t sure if that made me feel relieved or invisible.
