Chapter 16 In his bed
Athena
Four hundred and five.
Four hundred and six.
I keep counting, each number a desperate attempt to steady my breathing, to anchor
myself in something other than the storm of anger swirling inside me. But no matter how high I count, the fury doesn't ease. If anything, it builds-high, relentless.
I hate him.
I hate that arrogant bastard.
But what I hate more is the gnawing feeling in my chest-the lingering
warmth of his presence, the way my heart still
stutters at the memory of him standing there, defending me, saving me.
Saving me.
The words echo like a cruel taunt, and I bite my lip, hard enough to taste blood.
Why did he do it?
How did 'Alexander even know what was happening? It wasn't him I texted- it was Noah.
Noah.
My thumb hovers over my
phone, his name glowing on the screen. I should call him, and
ask if he said something to Alexander if that's how he found out. But something
holds me back-an invisible wall of guilt.
"How long have you been fucking my cousin?"
The memory of Alexander's voice, cold and venomous, slices through me again. My chest tightens.
Is that what he thinks of me? That I'm some pathetic girl throwing herself at his cousin?
An easy whore?
The insult burns deeper than it should. Because why does it matter
what he thinks?
Why do I care?
But then-why did he hit Noah?
Nothing makes sense anymore.
