1 Divorce Ewan , I want a divorce .
Athena spoke , finding her voice a minute after seeing her husband , Ewan , and his self acclaimed best friend , Fiona , in an intimate position on the black , long , plushy L shaped , gold trimmed sofa in the sitting room .
What good husband would abandon his wife to grief today ? What good husband would choose to mourn with his wife over his work or rather mistress now to spending at least five minut her mothers death ? What good husband was that cold hearted ? Seeing them had brought to her remembrance the unflattering , yet heartbreaking picture that Fiona had sent to her two days ago ; of Ewan sleeping at Fionas home , in her bed , intertwined with her .
1 Athena had been beyond pained then , but now she just let out a sarcastic laugh .
Divorce ? Athena had always thought it an abstract event , relegated to certain people , but not her .
Yet at this moment , this was the only thing she wanted to do .
Oh , the tides of life ! She watched now as Fiona dealt her a withering glare before slithering out of the arms of Ewan who had turned lazily to see the disrupter of his peace .
What did you just say , Athena ? Ewan asked , sitting up properly on the sofa , his countenance , a canvas of aloofness .
A bystander would think that he was asking about the weather , or inquiring about the time .
Ive had enough , Ewan .
Grant me a divorce .
Athena answered , clamping down the hurt and searing pain that was threatening to mask her face on seeing Fiona slip her right hand into Ewans open palm .
Was that a solidarity stance ? Athena wasnt sure , but it pained her the most ; her heart tethered on breakage the most when Ewan clasped , and covered Fionas hand with an attitude that suggested normalcy .
Athena felt faint then , yet she stood her ground , choosing to see the end of this matter there .
and then , before disappearing to grieve two losses .
She believed that she had no choice at the moment .
Coainer that Ewan didnt care for her amatione had never cared actually it would he etunid of 1 Divorce Seeing that Ewan didnt care for her emotions , had never cared actually , it would be stupid of her to break down in tears before them .
Her foolishness and naivety of three years ended here .
She no longer had the desire to thaw the ice that was Ewan Giacometti .
I told you from the very beginning .
Ewan started , rubbing gentle slow circles on Fionas palm .
An act , which Athena swallowed bravely amidst the withering ache that assailed her heart , without blinking an eyelid .
There would be no easy way out of this marriage .
Not until I get what I want from you and that day looks to be a long way off .
Unfortunately , cliche though it may seem , youve made this bed and we both have to lay in it .
I cant live like this anymore , Ewan .
Yes , stupid me made the bed , but I think we should get rid of the bed at this point .
There is no use lying on it again .
Athena attempted the dark humor with a chuckle , resting nonchalantly by a wall , choosing to take up the aloof countenance that her husband was sporting .
She knew she couldnt cower at this point .
On her lips were a chilly smile that grated on Fionas nerves , and in her eyes were a mixture of stark hatred and anger which unsettled Ewan deeply .
Ewan stood then , so instant and aggressive the first crack in his aloof countenance that Athenas right hand unconsciously flew over her stomach .
This action didnt go unnoticed by Fiona , whose mind wheels were already in motion .
Do you think Im happy being with you ? Ewan asked , unable to mask the tremor in his voice , still raking in a shallow unbelief that Athena would want to dispose of him nonchalantly .
Had her love been fake all this while ? Well , wasnt she her fathers daughter ? I need a divorce too , wife .
But first , you need to bring forth a son for your father , so that he can return my property to me .
He covered the distance between them as he dropped the bombshell .
Athena furrowed her eyebrows , not understanding what property Ewan was talking about .

What are you talking about , Ewan ? The illiterate breeder feigns ignorance .
Athena bristled at Flonas snide comment , but she didnt grab the bait .
< 1 Divorce Ignoring the jab at her education status , another cruelty of life to her , she concentrated on the other two disturbing factors .
Breeder ? Property ? What were the two idiots talking about ? She had thought that Ewans obsession with a son had been because of the maintenance of hist noble lineage , and to further cement the union of the two companies that had been at loggerheads with each other since forever .
However , she was beginning to think that there was more to the story , more that her father had kept hidden from her .
This knowledge pushed her to tighten her hand over her stomach , as if to protect the child that she recently found had taken solace in her womb .
Athena had gotten the great news two days ago , but had decided to keep it under the wraps till after her mothers funeral .
Foolish her had thought she could thaw Ewans cold heart with the news , but with these new revelations , she knew that was an impossible matter .
She didnt know of her fathers role in her marriage , only that he had persuaded her , his only child , to marry Ewan , but she wouldnt leave her child in the hands of two cold men .
You want to be gone ? She heard Ewan ask , his voice retrieving its cold and aloof quality .
She nodded her head slowly , holding his gaze , unruffled when his blue eyes got darker with rage at her answer .
Then give me a son .
Until then , take that thought of divorce off your head .
Hopefully , your barren womb will take pity on us , and conceive after this night .
No way ! I will never ever- But before Athena could finish her statement , Ewan , with an insane speed and agility , to the surprise of both women , carried Athena on his shoulders , and trudged angrily towards their bedroom .
