The sharp crack of my palm against his

cheek rings through the room. My chest heaves with fury, and my

hands tremble at my sides. The audacity. The sheer, infuriating arrogance of him.

My head is still tipsy but thanks to his insult. My mind is no longer foggy.

Alex doesn't flinch. Instead, his lips curl into a smirk, his green eyes darkening

with something dangerous. Something possessive.

But I'm mad as hell and he knows it.

"You will not insult me!" I spit.

Anger radiating off me In waves. But it's like this

man is a wall because he doesn't seem bothered. He takes one step back, placing his hands in his pocket before finding my gaze again.

"You will not see him again." His voice is low, but I heard him just fine.

I scoff, crossing my arms tightly over my chest. "I'm not your wife, Alex. We're getting

divorced. I can do whatever the hell I want. Do you suffer from memory loss?"

His smirk deepens, amusement flashing in his gaze as he takes

fans against my skin as he leans in, crowding me until my back presses against the counter.

"No, Athena." His voice is almost a whisper, but

there's nothing soft about it. "I want you to understand."

"Leah understands you just fine, focus on

her because I won't do anything you say. So you can take your stupid commands

and shove them where the sun doesn't-!"

He

steps closer, his presence suffocating and making my throat dry as I hold onto the rest of the words.

I refuse to back down, I refuse to let him degrade and insult me.

"You don't own me."

He tilts his head, considering me like a predator would its prey.

"Is that what you want? Me to own you?"
