Chapter 44 ~ Teach you a lesson

ATHENA

I'm in the worst mood today. I can't even get out of bed, and it's past 10 AM

already.

My heart keeps bleeding and shattering into a thousand pieces over and over again.

I had flashes of my memory last night, and it wasn't pretty. Harsh words. Reminders of who I'll never be. But then, I also remembered Alex's soft side. How he took care of me. Stayed with me, and even though he never said it, he treated me like I was made of glass.

That must have been why I hoped and prayed he'd remember what we had and forget Leah. But now I know better. It won't happen, and knowing I'll never have the man that means everything to me shatters me.

I touch the left side of the bed. It's so cold which tells me he didn't come back last night.

He must have spent it with Leah.

But then again, whose house is this, and why am I here and not home?

Do I even have a home?

My phone vibrates continuously, making me wonder what it is.

My heart sinks further when I see myself on the front cover of the morning paper.

I'm laughing at something Zayan said as we sat on the horses.

I'm totally fucked.

I gulp.

standing from my bed, I rush downstairs where I find Luca, wearing an Army uniform.

He's in the Army?

"There she is. Good morning Mrs. King." He teases as he grabs the remote and changes the channel.

"I didn't take you for a man to be in the Army." I comment, ignoring my pounding heart and his mockery.

He laughs.

"I'm sure you didn't." He responds and I roll my eyes at that.

I walk to the kitchen and almost fall over when I'm met with a beautiful blonde

woman in uniform. She must work here.

A pang of jealousy coils in my veins.
