Athena

“If it isn't the little charity case.”

An annoying voice stops me in my tracks, and I groan internally.

Do I have to deal with this right before my exams?

I turn to find Melanie and her usual group of followers standing by the hallway lockers, smirking like they’ve been waiting for me.

Of course, they have.

I bet it eats them up so bad that an orphan like me, with no financial backup, is attending the best and most expensive medical school.

What they don’t know is that I’m backed by the Kings. And if they did, that smug look wouldn’t even exist.

My parents were extremely gifted surgeons. They chose to help during a devastating flood, saving lives, and among the people they rescued was Giana King—Alexander’s grandmother.

Unfortunately, my parents didn’t make it out alive. Giana felt indebted to them, so she found me, took me in, and promised to support me. Somehow, she ended up loving me like her own and decided I should marry her grandson.

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Epilogue

    ATHENAFive years later….."Rayen, not too much water! You're flooding the whole kingdom!" I call out as I dig my toes into the warm sand.He rolls his eyes in a way that only a nine-year-old who thinks he's the smartest person alive can. “It’s for the moat, Mum. A castle needs a defense system.”“Obviously,” Alex says beside me, reaching over to smear sunscreen across my shoulder. “He gets his strategy from me.”“And the attitude,” I mutter, shooting him a look.A giggle interrupts next to us, two actually, and I glance down to where the twins are crouched by the sandcastle, their little hands covered in wet sand and their faces glowing with excitement. Four years old and already impossible to keep still.Asher is trying to carve a tunnel through the base of the castle while Alina carefully arranges seashells on the turrets.Both of them have blonde hair like spun sunlight and green eyes sharp as emeralds.Totally miniature versions of their father.I swear my genes didn't even put

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 212 ~ The final chapter

    ATHENA Six weeks later…..“I got you some coffee.” I smile at Sloane, who looks lost in thought. “Thank you.” She whispers as she takes the coffee, and then I proceed to sit next to her. After my aunt got arrested six weeks ago, I cried myself to sleep, but the next morning, we received even worse news. Katelyn had been shot.It was a very hard time for Ian, who looked ruined by the news, and I understood his loss. Everyone was there for him and his father even though there was nothing much we could say or do to make him feel better. Sloane has been looking even more depressed since then. “We had just gotten engaged, Athena. We even planned to meet her and uncle Elias the next day to tell them in person.” She whispers as she stares at the wall.“It's going to be okay. Alex and Luca are looking for whoever did this, and they won't let him get away with it.” I hold her shaking hand in mine. “You need to be strong, babe. Ian needs you now more than ever.” She nods, wiping a tear.“

    ALEX“Is mummy okay? She never sleeps without kissing me goodnight.” Rayen pouts as I put him to bed.“But you said you hate the kisses.” I run my hand through his curls.“I do. But I want her to keep doing it. Don't tell her that I said that.” He says, making me chuckle.“You got it, big guy. Your secret is safe with me.” He smiles, and then his smile falls, “But is mummy okay?”I nod.“She is. She's just tired.” I explain, and he nods in understanding. I kiss him goodnight and turn the lights off before walking back to our room.My wife is asleep with her chest going up and down slowly in soft breaths. After the torture session, Dad called in the police to take her away, and mum has promised to get her the worst punishment with no hope of ever being free. I, on the other hand, pulled some strings so she won't have such a joyous time in prison. It will be like hell on earth. I'm glad Athena has found closure and has finally sorted the pain she has been holding onto for years. Sh

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 210 ~ This is not you

    ATHENA“I didn’t mean to-”“Murder them? Take everything away from me? What didn't you mean to? Because from the looks of things, you've been living a pretty good life using my trust fund.”I look around before my eyes fall on hers. And to think I loved this woman when I was a child.Honestly, I don't care about the money, and I would have left her alone had she not turned out to be my parents' murderer.“I was desperate,” she whimpers, tears now streaking through the smeared mascara. “I didn’t know they’d actually die. I thought they’d just be scared and give into what I wanted, I swear to you!”“Wrong answer.” I stand, the cold water dripping from her clothes onto the floor like guilt refusing to disappear.“Please, Athena-”“I wanted to believe you were just heartless. Maybe you abandoned me out of pride or resentment. But you made sure they never came back. You made sure I never had a family again.”I toss the knife onto the table beside her with a loud clang, watching her flinch.

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 209 ~ You murdered them

    ATHENA“Are you sure about this?” Alex asks me as we step into the apartment. “Yes. I need this.” I whisper. My heart is boiling, and anger is threatening to spill over since this morning. After the surprise party last night, we went clubbing and it was so fun although I didn't take any alcohol. I don't know why, but I've just been avoiding it lately. It was this morning when I was getting ready to drop Rayen off when Alex dropped the bomb. My aunty had my parents killed. As in, my mother's sister. Does that even make sense? How can someone be so wicked?He'll, I knew she was heartless when she took all my inheritance and blocked me from her life. She tried to return after I got married to Alex, but I refused to see her. But this, this is something I can't wrap my head around. Mum was so good to her. So I need answers!Alex opens the door, and I halt my steps. The first scent that hits my nose is a stench of blood mixed with sweat and something unpleasant. I take a step forward
