Chapter 40 ~ She's missing
ALEX
The sound of Leah's voice grates against my ears like nails on glass.
She laughs at something I didn't say - or maybe she just likes the sound of her own voice. Either way, I don't bother to correct her.
My eyes remain fixed on the racetrack, but my mind is elsewhere.
My head is a spinning mess. I've had the toughest weeks of my life and it has fucked me up. Athena has started clawing her way inside my head and I hate it.
I almost lost my mind when I saw her have that panic attack two weeks ago. Then I had to bathe her completely naked.
Fuck. That woman is gorgeous.
Those curves.
That long black hair.
I've never had to fight for control the way I've had to these past days. The urge to crash my lips on hers, touch her every chance I get, has been building day by day and it's annoying as hell.
I agreed to come to the race because if I didn't get some air I was going to lose my shit. But then that fucker Arnold pissed me off with his stupid remarks, and I had to hold back the urge to break his fucking neck. Already, I'm still thinking about how to deal with Noah for disobeying me.
The bottle of water in my hand feels heavier than it should. I swirl it once, watching the colorless liquid catch the light before setting it down untouched.
"Alex, did you hear me?" Leah's voice cuts through my thoughts.
Has she always talked this much?
I'm starting to wonder if this is how love fades. When she saved me that night, I felt like she was an angel who would stay by my side as I protect her in return.
But now I'm starting to wonder if it was love to start with.
"No," I answer flatly, not bothering to pretend otherwise.
She blinks, caught off guard, but recovers quickly with a small smile. "I was saying, Father asked if you'd join us for dinner next week. He misses you. You haven't visited home once even though I've been back for more than two months."
"You know how my mother feels about that and what she'll do," I say, glancing at my phone.
"Since when did you listen to a word she said?" Leah challenges.
"I'm her son. It's you she'll kill, you know I'll protect you from anything, but mum is not on that list. "I respond, pulling out my phone, unlocking it to check the time.
