Chapter 29 ~ Cheap

Chapter 29 - Cheap

Athena

My smile drops instantly.

Suddenly the cold air starts to sting and this is the moment I wish

I had superpowers so I can vanish.

But wasn't this my plan?

To have fun because this man doesn't control me?

Alex stands there, tall and menacing, his green eyes hard and

unreadable. His black shirt is unbuttoned at

the collar, his sleeves rolled up, exposing strong forearms. He looks relaxed, but I know better.

His gaze drags over me, slow, lazy and deliberate. My heart pounds.

I swallow. "How did you-"

"Shut up."

The air turns suffocating.

He takes a step forward, his expression impassive, but the way he looks at me-

like I'm filth beneath his shoe-sends a chill

down my spine.

My fingers tighten around the railing behind me.

"What the fuck did I tell you?" he says, his voice calm. Too calm.

My throat goes dry.

I open my mouth, but nothing comes out.

Alex tilts his head, his gaze flicking down to my dress, my bare legs, then

back up to my face. Something flashes in his eyes, and

his lip curls in disgust.

"You look cheap."

The words slap me harder than I expect.

I straighten my shoulders, my face burning.

"Is that supposed to mean something

to me?" I retort, refusing to let him break me.

He lets out a slow, mocking breath.

"Right." His voice is bored, but his

eyes burn. "So this is what you do now? Dress like a desperate slut and throw yourself at anyone willing?"
