Chapter 29: Playboy

Athena knew Zane’s mood was ruined.

It was evident in the change of his demeanor, in the monotone replies he gave her concerning her questions on his father, and in the way he openly flirted with the female waiters.

He never did that when they went out.

His focus was entirely on her and their discussion whenever they went out.

He respected her enough, to put a hold on his playboy activities till they parted ways.

Yes, she had lied about her love for Ewan during their marriage. So what?

It was six years ago! Things were different now. Why couldn’t he see that, and behave appropriately in public?

She watched, in tired disgust, as he gave a sleazy smile to a female waiter.

Does she need to indulge this too? She was tired.

At least he should have believed her last statement. She concluded. She could never go back to Ewan.

Yet Athena couldn’t believe that Ewan had thrilled Zane with her foolish submission to him during their marriage.

Egocentric brat! He must have been so full of himself, so full of gloating!

She held back vomit when she remembered the way she had followed Ewan like a lost puppy all through their years of marriage, the things she had put up with; his coldness, his infidelity.

She shook her head, pushing the painful memories.

Leaving the marriage had been the best decision of her life.

Maybe, she should be thankful to Fiona, for helping her get free from the bondage that was her previous marriage.

If not, how could she have been enlightened now?

How could she have been educated and emboldened?

How could she have been this rich and influential?

Athena gazed at Zane again. He was staring at a woman’s ass this time around.
