Chapter 303: Revelations

Ewan didn’t say a word to Athena until they arrived at the closest diner, having broken free from the deserted vicinity where Connor lived.

Her last statement in the car, though sarcastic, had been unable to leave his mind. He wasn’t sure if she was unhappy about his methods of punishing someone or if she was hinting at his past.

Nevertheless, he hadn’t said a word when she had spoken, only starting the car. And as if knowing that his mind had been in turmoil, she had followed suit, remaining silent.

"We will be taking a stop here."

Even his voice was gruff.

Athena thought, however, that it was because she was forcing him to tell the truth about his past. Was she remorseful, though? Not at all. She had hungered for this part of his life for so long!

"What are we doing here?" She asked mildly, taking a look around their environment, her eyes resting on the local bar. "There are better places in the city."

"The city is too crowded." Ewan curtly replied.

Without another word, he opened the car door and stepped out, walking immediately toward the entrance, knowing that Athena would follow eventually despite her misgivings.

He was right on the money. Athena hesitated for a mere nanosecond, and then she was off her seat!

She hurried after him, not wanting to spend time looking for him in a bar that would be teeming with drunk men and half-dressed women considering the time of the day.

She was right—drunk men and half-dressed women. But she had no difficulty locating Ewan, not when he was the center of attention.

It was like before in the Dixons; the female patrons were all over him. Only this time, they actually flocked around him, throwing their wares at him, offering sweet nights of passion.

And again, Athena felt that indescribable feeling rise within her—she felt like clawing those women away from him, taking their eyes out so they wouldn’t see him again.

However, before she could act on that impulse, a text dropped on her phone, capturing her focus.

Picking up her phone, she furrowed her brows when she saw Aiden’s message:

"Youwon’t believewhoisthemole..."

But that was all there was to the message.

Immediately forgetting Ewan for a moment, she dialed Aiden’s number, but the number wasn’t reachable.
