Rekindled Love

Regrets

Eddie:

I bang my hand on the hard table, alarming Chloe. "What the hell is your problem!?" She spits, making her words sound like a toxic acid that's splattering on all of the furniture.

"You," I snarl. "You're my fucking problem!"

She physically tightens her jaw. Watching me carefully. She knows what I have done to Ruby before and she knows I wouldn't think twice about doing the same to her. She's done things, too. Horrible things. It wouldn't be a complete shocker to her. "I've had enough." I continue, "Your constant bantering, lack of cooking and failure of a fucking woman!"

Chloe laughs menacingly, "And you think you're any better? Oh, come on, Eddie. I hear you, in your sleep." She says, her tone low but vicious, "I hear the way you mutter her name, calling for her to tend to your needs the way she used to. I know you crave her touch. Her body against yours, hearing her moan your name."

I talk in my sleep? "I know you regret losing her and gaining me, I know that more than you think. She's always been the perfect bitch to you. Taking in your compliments and forgetting the humongous amount of insults and beatings you've given her. She was like your own little puppy, you'd kick her around but you knew she was still coming back for more."

"You're a cruel woman." I hiss. "I should've known."

She laughs. "Evangeline warned you. Didn't she? How mean I was and how cruel I treated her when she showed up at the wedding? How I told her I hated her and she never came back again to visit us?"

All this time, Evangeline was warning me but I set her aside. I set my own flesh and blood to the side along with the only woman who was actually worth everything and all for what? A woman who is shit. A woman who I thought was the answer to everything but I was wrong.

So wrong.

She's the cause of every shit falling after I lost Ruby. I don't know where Ruby is now but I do know she doesn't want to be found.

I know because when I spoke to my lawyer shot child support for Evangeline he shook his head and said, "Ruby and Evangeline have both came in before you, telling me to let you know that your child support isn't needed. That, and I quote their words, 'We're alright without Eddie.' Sorry but it seems like she doesn't want you near them."

But I haven't stopped.

I need to be the one to get her back before she goes running to that moron. Nicolas Jourdan. I know he helped her through the divorce but I know that he still wants her and I won't allow it.

I just won't.

"I regret it." I mutter softly at first, catching Chloe's attention.

"What?" She asks, daring me to repeat it.

"I regret it!" I shout, "I regret going to you and losing Ruby! My daughter! My family! You're nothing but a worthless woman!"

She laughs. "Well, that sucks for you because you're stuck with me."

I shake my head. "Oh no I'm not."

"You are and if you dare to walk out," she threatens. "I'll sue you for everything you've got and I'll make sure you're locked up."

"What the hell could you possibly do to gain that?" I snort, "You can't make me do anything."

She smiles wickedly. "I'm pregnant."

So Eddie is having regrets, huh?

Bastard deserves it after hurting Ruby. Anyway, sorry that this chapter is so short. I'll try to make it up in the next one. For now, let me know what you think.

Also, I want to acknowledge @Sundas12 for her beautiful comment. Thank you!! I read it like twice and my smile didn't fade.
