Chapter 62 ~ Do you love her?

ALEX

Three months later.....

Frustrating doesn't even come close to describing Athena these past three months.

She's six months long now, and every day it feels like there's a new side of her I'm seeing. I get it, it's not easy carrying life inside you. But damn, some days, it feels like the world is going to swallow her whole.

I've never felt so powerless. No matter what she's going through, there's nothing I can do to fix it. She's pregnant and diagnosed with PTSD, and it makes everything feel like it's on a knife's edge.

I'm walking around on eggshells, trying not to make it worse. I want to help, but it seems like the harder I try, the more I fail.

I dive into the pool, the cool water enveloping me like a second skin, hoping it'll clear my mind, even just for a moment.

I'm not sure how long I swim when my muscles feel like they're burning. Sitting by the pool's edge, I grab my phone to check for any email I might have when I

stumble upon a photo.

Someone sent it to me but it's a private line. In the picture is Zayan smiling at my pregnant wife while she eats her ice cream.

The sight makes my blood boil. So she won't just smile for me but has the courage to fucking smile for another man?

How shameless has she become?

I debate tracking where he is and teaching that mother fucker a lesson. But I can't.

Not yet at least.
