Chapter 42: Beggers II

Alfonso tried and failed to quell the irritation in his heart as he stepped out of Ewan’s ward.

Before Ewan had succumbed to sleep, Alfonso had tried convincing him to speak to Athena on his behalf, but Ewan had been so adamant; that he wouldn’t do such a thing, that Alfonso should plead with Athena by himself.

Fiona had been right. Alfonso thought, at ease in the well lit hallway.

Leaving Athena around Ewan was a ticking time bomb. The male was bound to be besotted with his ex wife again!

Alfonso shook his head. He couldn’t let that happen, even though he wasn’t on good terms with his daughter.

He still hasn’t forgiven her for disobeying his orders.

As a result of her impatience, he would be begging Athena for mercy too.

Alfonso exhaled harshly in annoyance. How had things gotten this bad?

He glared at Fiona.

Fiona took a step back, in fright. "I’m sorry, Dad. It won’t happen again. Next time I will follow your orders to the fullest..."

Alfonso didn’t bother giving her a listening ear. "Lead me to Athena’s office. It seems we have some groveling to do too."

Five minutes later, Alfonso was standing in Athena’s general office space.

He tried walking straight to the private office, but Ciara stopped him.

Alfonso frowned in distaste. "Do you know who I am?"
