Chapter 10- Pump sense into him

Athena

I lift my head, my eyes blazing with something between anger and devastation.

But he doesn't care.

She provoked me. That's what I want to say, but I realize it won't matter. He won't believe me. Maybe he never has.

she is a pretentious bitch and it's annoying how Alex turns a

blind eye.

My lips press together. I'm stubborn, always have been. The urge to fight back

burns in my veins, but his grip tightens on my

wrist, a silent reminder that fighting him won't get me anywhere.
