Dear Ex Wife Please take me back by The Every Woman

Chapter 53 ~ You don't know?

ALEX

Two weeks felt like two fucking decades when I was away from her. Dad had me over see the new project and I didn't argue against it. I needed air, to recollect myself before I drowned in this woman.

But Fuck me.

It didn't do shit. If anything, it felt even worse. Every Night I had to fight the urge to call her, drop a text and that was the first time I've ever felt like doing such a thing.

I've been with women. But it was only for sex. I fell in love with Leah, and I want to marry her but even she doesn't make my heart beat the way Athena does.

It's chaotic, takes over your mind and brings you to your fucking knees. I've had tabs on her, calling Ryan every fucking second. Even he must notice I'm acting out of character.

He told me she was in the hospital, but she didn't and that makes me mad. Why the hell is she keeping things from me? I was already on edge because of her trauma, but I had to leave. I needed a clear head but the moment I heard she was in the hospital, I wrapped up the meetings and came back home.

So here I stand watching her fidget and its taking every fiber of my being not to kiss those lips. Dig my nails into her curves as i hold her all night long.

Fuck! What is happening to me?

I drop my gaze towards her and watch Athena as she lowers her gaze, her fingers tightening around the blanket like it's the only thing keeping her grounded.

I slip off my watch and place it on the dresser, my movements slow as I study her. Her posture is tense, like she's bracing for something, but she's trying so damn hard to act normal.

Luca is yet to send me the results of why she was at the hospital. But if she could tell me right now, I'd know how to help her.

"Athena," I say her name carefully, testing the waters.

She looks up at me, her dark eyes wide, too guarded.

"You sure there's nothing you want to tell me?"
