Chapter 101 ~ A birth mark

ATHENA

The Loud sound of an ambulance reaches my ears as I step out of the hospital. My shift just ended and I'm beat.

It's only been a few days and I still can't get Alex's gaze out of my mind. The way he looked at Zayan when he kissed my cheek made my heart stop and I hate that even after what he's done to me he's still able to get a rise out of me.

I feel sick.

"His airway's compromised. We need to intubate," lan barks, but there's a hesitation in his eyes as he glances toward me like he knows how badly this is affecting me.

"Get the three of them out of here!" He barks the orders and before we know what's going on, doors are being shut in our faces although no one dares to touch Alex, his anger is enough to keep one at a distance.
