Chapter 79 ~ A Cheater!

ATHENA

SLAP!

I hit him so hard his face pauses on the side from the shock of my delivery!

How dare this scumbag mock me after everything he's put me through?

The anger I feel right now can't be explained. He blames me. I get it, but this is the last stroll, and I've had enough!

Especially when I look at the baby he's holding, he doesn't look more than five months old and if my math is correct, that means the asshole cheated on me and got us pregnant at the same time!

"How dare you?" I spit, my voice trembling with rage, heartbreak, and months of bottled-up pain. "You cheated, lied, humiliated me, and now you use my son's name to mock me?"

The room is frozen.

No one speaks.

Even the baby in Leah's arms starts to whimper at the sudden tension in the air.

Alex slowly straightens, his jaw clenched, cheek reddened from the blow. He looks stunned, like he didn't expect me to still have fire in me after all he's done.

"Don't you ever speak to me like that again," I snap, my chest heaving. "You don't get to rewrite history and paint me as the villain, Alex. You don't get to take my pain and twist it into some sick weapon to hurt me."

"Athena-" Giana starts, her voice trembling, but I don't even take a breath, I'm not done.

"You can marry whoever you want. You can lie to yourself and the world about whatever twisted version of this you've created to make yourself feel better. But don't you dare stand there and tell me you didn't cheat, that you're perfect husband when you're so full of shit. You know what, fine, call your son whatever you want, I really don't care!"

Alex opens his mouth, but I cut him off, my voice rising with every word from how angry I am. "You want to erase me from your life? Fine. But don't you dare pretend like that sweet little boy was never my world. Like I didn't want him. Because I loved him more than anything in this world, and I'm the one who felt physical and emotional pain while bringing him into this world!"
