Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 51 ~ Torn

ATHENA

The door opens, and I almost jump out of my skin from how startled I am after the news I just heard.

It's been two hours since Mira left, and my mind has been unsettled.

But I don't get to dwell much on it when Ariana rushes towards me with a worried expression. She searches me for any injuries while my father in law, Eli, stands behind her with an amused expression.

"You really need to stop scaring me. Maybe just move in with me so I can take care of you." She frowns once she's satisfied with what she sees.

I bite my bottom lip as I hold back a laugh.

Ariana King is a beautiful woman. And I may have forgotten what kind of relationship we had, but these past weeks, I've been able to experience so much love from her that it makes me want to cry.

She always looks like a mummy bear, ready to jump on anyone who tries to hurt me. Noah mentioned that they suspect someone has been targeting me, and Alex is on it while Ariana has been on his back impatiently waiting for results, and that warmed my heart even though I've been freaked out

Why would anyone want to hurt me?

I barely have anything to my name, and only a handful of people know I'm Alex's wife.

"It's nothing serious." I try to coo her, putting the thoughts aside, but she only huffs as the doctor walks in again.

"What is wrong with my daughter inlaw?"Eli's deep voice asks, and the doctor looks shocked.

I registered Athena Dawson, so how come?

That's the question he must have on his mind but I refuse to answer it.

"Mr. King, I wasn't aware-"

"I'm not interrogating you, doctor. Don't feel nervous. " He chuckles, and even I, is scared of him.

Alex takes after him a lot.

"Well, the results showed that Athena-"
