Chapter 36: Crushed Pride

Fiona, who had lifted her head after Athena’s sarcastic laugh, opened her mouth to contradict Athena’s words, but Sandro shut her up with a glare.

She turned to Ewan, seeking for solidarity.

It was then she saw the sorry state of her fiancé.

How hadn’t she noticed?

She had heard him implore Athena to tell her truth, yet she had been so concentrated on maintaining her own ’truth’ that she hadn’t looked at him.

She hurried up to him now, but Ewan raised his hand, stopping her from getting closer to him.

"Is she telling the truth?"

Fiona hesitated, wondering how fast things had deteriorated.

"No, she is lying..." She vehemently denied.

She glared at Athena for a second, before returning her attention to Ewan.

"There is CCTV to check..." Sandro piped in then, causing Fiona’s mouth to quiver, causing her eyes to water with frustration.

She has really done it this time. She thought, noting the cold glint in Ewan’s eyes.

She should have returned home, and licked her wounds there.

She should have humbly accepted her humiliation, consoling herself with Athena’s future death.

Now, her father will kill her! Now, Ewan might punish her!

What should she do? How could she save herself from Ewan’s wrath?

"She gave me chocolate...I ...you..." She stuttered, halting when she saw Athena’s notable smirk.

She had consented to the chocolate drink. So, she couldn’t blame Athena for that.

Yet what choice did she have when Athena had placed the chocolate drink as a bait?

Fiona hated Athena at that moment, a hundred folds.

She had thought herself a game player, but it was obvious that Athena was a better one.

She needed to up her game!

Fiona pinched herself in trepidation as the air in the room got colder with tension. Her game was up!
