Chapter 73 ~ Change my mind

ALEX

"Take everything away from him. I want his father's company ruined, and his career shattered." I instruct Ryan.

It's been a week since I processed the divorce papers, and instead of feeling better, I feel even more angry.

She easily signed the damned papers for someone who denied what was right in front of her. As if it wasn't enough, Zayan drove her home.

What a disgusting sight.

"Alex, maybe you need to slow down." Noah's annoying voice reaches my ears, and I turn to glare at him.

"I'd shut the fuck up if I were you." I grind out as I grab my glass of whiskey.

I'm not a heavy drinker but fuck, I can use a few right now.

I want to ruin Zayan, starting with his father's stupid political career to his damned one as a doctor.

"Text lan, I want Zayan fired and if he's still at the hospital tomorrow, we are going

to have a problem." I grind out before taking another sip.

Luca is quietly watching.

Wise choice.

I don't need anyone questioning me right now.

Especially not my stupid cousin who has a stupid crush on my ex wife!

I down the rest of my whiskey and slam the glass onto the table, my patience hanging by a thread.

Ryan's phone pings, and a smirk tugs at my lips as he reads the message.

"Ian says it's handled. Zayan will be out by morning," Ryan reports, locking his phone.

Good. That's only the beginning.

I lean back in my chair, rolling my whiskey glass between my fingers. "What about his father?"

Ryan shifts. "We're working on it. It's tricky, but we've started leaking some documents. It'll take a few days, but the scandal will stick."

A slow, humorless chuckle escapes me.

"Make sure it does. I want that old man's reputation buried so deep he'll never recover."

Luca, who has been quiet the entire time finally speaks, his eyes telling me he doesn't approve.

Not that it will change anything.

"And Athena?"

My jaw tightens at the sound of her name. My grip on the glass turns white- knuckled.

"I don't care," I lie, the words leaving a bitter taste in my mouth.

She made her choice.
