Athena

Later that evening,

I keep my eyes closed, my breathing slow and even, pretending to be asleep.

I hear my bedroom door open slightly before clicking shut.

A few seconds later, I hear the soft click of the main door locking.

I wait.

Then another click..

The door closes.

He's gone.

I sit up immediately, my heart pounding from the rush of victory.

Sleep in, my ass!

I practically launch myself out

of the bed and rush into my bathroom, kicking off my shoes as I rush to the

shower.

Stripping off my exam-

day outfit, I take a quick shower and search my wardrobe for the shortest, tightest dress I own-

black,

sleek, and sinful.

I try on the one I bought

on my birthday last year. I got it to seduce Alex, but he took one look at me and walked out. Let's just say my ego was bruised but that's why I'm doing this! I'm taking back everything he has stolen from me. Starting from my

confidence.

Standing on the mirror, I slick

my hair into a high ponytail, the style giving me an edge. Then I grab my makeup.

will kill me. But I'm not afraid, I want to live life for once

and I won't let anyone stop

1. me.

Helen, the one in charge of the King family image...

well you can call her the modern day PR. I bet she will have a thrill when she

sees my drunk face on tomorrow's gossip news.

I step back, admiring my curves in the mirror. If I'm going to break Alex's stupid

rules, I'm doing it in style.

Satisfied, I grab my purse and head toward the door. But the second I step into the living room, I freeze.
