Chapter 74 ~ Help from strangers

ATHENA

One week later....

I'm going through the hardest time of my life. Nothing I do seems to close the hole in my chest.

Giana and Ariana have been reaching out, but I haven't had the strength to face them. Not since that day when the guards threw me out at the orders of Alexander.

I didn't call for them because I was ashamed and that was what Alex wanted. To humiliate me.

The cruel bastard wouldn't even let me send my son off.

I have no memory of what he looks like and now I don't know where he was

buried.

I've cried an ocean but none of it seems to be working well for me.

I had received an offer to do internship In the outskirts of the city where there has been an outbreak of a virus.

So here I am. Waiting for my flight when I hear angry steps walking towards me.

I look up to find a face I've never seen before. She looks ready to bite my face off and before I can say anything, she tries to land a slap on my face but I block her.

Not today.

"You bitch! How dare you ruin my son's career? You're bad luck and should be exorcised!"

I don't even know who she is!

Can't I get a damn break?

I'm at the airport for crying out loud!

I tighten my grip on the stranger's wrist, my heart pounding in my chest. Her fury

is blistering, her dark eyes burning with unrestrained hatred.

"Who the hell are you?" I demand, my voice hard despite my exhaustion.

She yanks her arm free, chest heaving.

"You dare ask me that?" She spits out. "I'm Zayan's mother, you worthless-" My stomach drops. Zayan's mother?

"I should have known a woman like you would bring nothing but misfortune!" she hisses, drawing the attention of nearby travelers. "You ruined my son's career! He was fired from the hospital because of you! And now, now my husband is under investigation! Do you have any idea what you've done?"
