2 An Accusation Slick with sweat and limp with ecstasy , Athena collapsed back into the bed , her mind befogged by the mind blowing sex with Ewan ..
Her slender form was still severely racked by the spasms of her strong release .
And her earlier smouldering rage had subsided significantly .
Athena knew if she prolonged campaigning for her separation from Ewan , that she might never really leave him .
Yes , the sex was that good .
It was one thing she wouldnt fault Ewan for .
He was good in bed , so good that it numbed her of her thoughts most times , probably why she had remained in this marriage this long .
But no more .
Within seconds of their shared orgasm , Ewan had untangled , disengaged , and distanced himself from her , lying on his back next to her with laboured , ragged breathing .
Even after all this time , his words which were usually wrenched from him at his climax- remained suspended in the air between them and continued to cause more pain than was necessary .
Give me a son , Athena … With those five words , he inevitably killed the afterglow , destroyed the intimacy of the moment and relegated the act into nothing more than a biological imperative .
After three years of the same , Athena had finally realized that it would never change .
It had taken the events of today to tell her that .
Thats why she held strong to her own five words ! They were words that had been on the tip of her tongue since he had met her in the bedroom after sending Fiona home two hours ago ; words that had coated her mouth when he had plunged into her ; words that she could no longer swallow back , no matter how much it killed her to say them .
She sat up naked , her body s trembling , and drew her knees to her chest .
She wrapped her arms around her legs , pressed her cheek to her knees and watched as his breathing steadied ; his own shaking was subsiding slightly .
Ewan lay spread eagled , also magnificently nude .
His eyes were shut but she knew he wasnt asleep .
No , he would take a few moments to compose himself before heading for the shower , where she always imagined him frantically scrubbing her scent and touch from his bronzed skin .
< An Accusation She could no longer contain the words and they spilled from her lips with desperate earnestness .
I still want a divorce , Ewan .
I wont demand for anything else .
Please , just let me go .
Please let me and your child go .
Ewan tensed , every single muscle in his body went as tight as a coiled spring , before he turned his head to meet her watchful gaze .
His eyes were hooded and his upper lip curled mockingly .
But I thought you loved me , Athena .
You reveled me with that in the early months of our marriage … He taunted with exquisite cruelty and Athena lowered her eyelids , trying to mask .
the shaft of pain in his words .
When she was sure she had her emotions under control , she once again lifted her eyes to his dark gaze .
Not anymore , She managed , hoping the lie sounded convincing .
Things change .
What things ? Ewan rolled onto his side and propped himself up onto his elbow , resting his head on his hand .
Feelings , and Ive changed .
Athena answered softly .
Ewan chuckled .
A snide chuckle , which caused her to flinch more than words would .
And just when she thought he wouldnt answer her again , she heard him speak , coldly .
Maybe for you … I actually dont care … Ewan shrugged .
But like I told you earlier today ; no son , no divorce .
That isnt hard now to grasp , is it ? Fiona would be happy to carry your son .
Why dont you get married to her ? You seem to love her .
Athena asked , burying her face in her knees , fighting to keep the tears at bay .
I wish .
But it isnt Fiona that holds the treasure … Ewan answered .
This is the last time we will discuss this .

He added , before getting up and walking , naked , to the en suite bathroom , where she believed he dutifully scrubbed her scent off his body .
Athena heard the shower start moments later and took a few seconds to compose herself , swiping the hot tears from her face with the backs of both hands before dragging on a gauzy peignoir and heading toward the kitchen to make herself a hot drink .
While she was sitting on a bar stool , sipping her hot chocolate fifteen minutes later , she felt Ewans presence behind her and the hairs in the nape of her neck stood on end .
His aura was colder than usual .
What happened now ? What is the meaning of this , Athena ? Who is this man ? He asked with a voice of steel , gently dropping a phone in front of her , before fisting his hands by his side .
24 < An Accusation Athena furrowed her eyebrows as she stared into his phone .
Her eyes widened in unbelief when she saw herself , no , definitely not her , in the arms of a naked man on a bed .
It looked so intimate , so real , that she almost baffed , Her eyes then strayed to the sender of the message .
It was Fiona .
She scoffed .
Thats not me .
Its edited .
Nice work though , by Fiona , the best friend .
She commented flippantly , about to take up the cup for a sip of hot chocolate , when Ewan gently stopped her midway by placing his hand on the cup , or rather , on her hand on the cup .
Athena jerked involuntarily , her hand leaving the cup , as if his touch had burned her , causing the cup to fall to the ground and break in pieces .
Ewan never touched her , unless they were in bed .
Her eyes traveled to Ewan , when he took the next stool to hers , confused when she saw the whirl of emotions there .
There was anger , there was confusion , and there was … she didnt want to believe it , didnt want to admit it , but there was hurt too , and jealousy if she wanted to humor herself .
1 But why would he feel that way ? Ewan hated her ; he reminded her of that on a daily basis , either by his sparse words , or his cold actions .
You can talk to me , Athena .
For one , I know this wasnt edited .
So , tell me , Athena , who is this man ? That is not me , Ewan .
I have never cheated on you before .
You should ask your best friend where she bought the image from rather .
She stated , her hand flying to her stomach , when Ewan pounded his right fist on the table angrily .
She had never seen him like this , had never seen him crack like this .
Seeing her with another man must have unsettled him greatly .
If she had known about this secret earlier … she might have gone out often with her best friend , Gianna .
Do you take me as a fool , Athena ? Fiona can never lie to me ! Why would she ? I gave you a chance to redeem yourself , either by a truth or a lie , yet you chose to deny the picture completely .
You think it a joke to taint my reputation ? Do you know this is all over the socials ?? Ewan shouted at Athena in rage , losing control of himself for the first time , not understanding why she would cheat on him , not understanding the exact reason why he was shouting .
Didnt she love him ? He queried himself for the second time today .
What has changed ? Athena stood up then , drawing strength from the baby in her womb , not believing that he would believe such farce , yet knowing that he would always choose Fiona over her , try turn .
Ewan , that is not me I think I have seen enough of your body , Athena , to know if you are the one .
Put on a dress , < 2 An Accusation I think I have seen enough of your body , Athena , to know if you are the one .
Put on a dress , wife .
We are going to see father .
Seems you will be getting that divorce after all .
Ewan spoke , his voice re attaining its cold and aloof quality , his emotions congealing once more into ice .
2 your What do you think of Ewan ?
