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. S

  • 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

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 208 ~ They shouldn't be breathing

    ALEX“I didn't know traitors had birthdays.” I click my tongue as we step into the ridiculously decorated room.Gold balloons, silk table runners, champagne, and a cake so tall it probably has structural support. Ian doesn't even eat cake for fuck’s sake.My sister either does a great job or a shitty job at hosting events there’s never an in-between. And judging by the way the glitter is already sticking to my shoes, this one’s screaming “Emotional breakdown wrapped in sparkle.”Athena loops her arm through mine and leans in. “Be nice.”“I am being nice,” I mutter, my eyes narrowing on the guests. “I showed up.”“Like you wouldn't.” My wife rolls her beautiful eyes in that dramatic way she does and I'm already turned on.Scratch that, her existence alone turns me on.Peeling my eyes away from her because I'd hate to move around with a boner, my eyes find Katelyn’s. She smiles as she walks over to me.“Look at you all grown up! Why don't you call and visit me anymore?” She pulls me in

  • Dear Ex Wife, Please take me back   Chapter 207 ~ I missed my wife

    ATHENA “I don't think we really need to be there so early.” My husband pulls me back in bed, making me giggle.I love that he always wants to have me to himself. “Yes we do. We also have to get up.” I remind him, but he simply groans and buries his head in my neck while placing his heavy arm on my stomach, pinning me in.“Let's wake up a little later. I've missed my wife.”His voice is low, gravelly, and too intoxicating for my barely awake brain to fight. Alex’s breath is warm against my skin, his lips brushing the sensitive spot just beneath my jaw. I try to be responsible, really, I do, but how am I supposed to think when he’s touching me like this?“Alex…” I murmur, trying to sound firm, but it comes out breathy and soft.He smirks against my neck. He knows exactly what he’s doing. His hand slides beneath the hem of his shirt. The one I slept in, his fingers grazing my bare thigh like it’s a secret he’s savoring.“I love it when you wear this,” he murmurs, nudging the fabric hi
