Chapter 3 ~ Getting through the night
Alex
"It's been three years! Why don't I have grandchildren till now Alex? Are you impotent? Should I adopt one for you?" Mum takes a jab at me and I grind my teeth so hard.
Don't get me wrong, I love her. But she can be extremely annoying.
"Should I leave?" I threaten her, making her pass her glass to Dad who just shrugs.
Eli King may be ruthless but his wife has him wrapped around her finger. He would never take anyone else's side.
Love whipped.
Makes me sick to my stomach but I love it for them.
"I'm sorry dear. But you know I'm right. It's been too long!"
"How can they have kids when they can't even come to a function together? Makes me want to smoke a cigarette but I made a promise and you're making me want to break it!" Nana complains, joining the wagon of torture Alex day.
"I had work. Noah will bring her." I respond flatly. Ignoring her threat to start smoking again when her heart is already weak.
"There she is!" Mum's voice beams making us all turn to where she's rushing to. This is one thing I'll never understand.
How the fuck does she have my entire family wrapped around her finger?
I fix my features into something less irritated and more presentable as my mother rushes toward Athena, all smiles and warmth.
My jaw tightens. It never fails to amaze me how effortlessly she wins them over. Even Nana-who barely likes anyone is practically beaming at her.
Athena walks toward us with slow, measured steps, her posture perfect, her expression unreadable.
I have to give it to her. She plays her role damn well. It's a pity our marriage has been a secret. My family thinks it's because I want to protect Athena but in truth, it's because I don't want any fuss when I marry Leah.
She will be my wife. She's the only one who knows of my condition and is still willing to stay by my side. I bet if Athena knew, she'd run for the hills.
