Chapter 9 ~ Humiliated
Chapter 9 Humiliated
Alex
"I love you."
Three words.
I've heard them countless times before-soft, warm, and filled with sincerity. Mum
and Dad say it to each other. Mum and
Granny say it to me all the time.
But hearing them come out of Leah's mouth the other night?
It made my skin crawl.
It sounded foreign, misplaced like it didn't belong
between us. It didn't settle in my chest the way it was
supposed to. Instead, it made something tighten, something itch beneath my skin.
I pulled away. Not obviously.
Just enough to create distance, enough that I could breathe without feeling suffocated by the weight of words I wasn't ready to hear. And that's when I noticed her.
Athena
Running.
Her black long hair whipped behind her, her pace quick. The way she left- like she was running from something-made my jaw
clench.
I had wondered for the past three days but since I had been busy with work I barely saw her. But seeing and hearing those remarks told me one thing.
My wife was jealous and I liked it.
Which is bullshit because I shouldn't like anything that has to do with her.
Athena Dawson.
The name alone makes my blood boil these days. I
roll my shoulders, trying to shake off the frustration, but it lingers, simmering beneath my skin.
Her attitude. Her rebellion. The way she suddenly changed overnight.
She's testing my patience, and it's driving me insane.
We had a deal.
Three years.
