Tell me … I will surely make that person pay Fiona sniffed , It was … Athena ..
33 Brused Egoli 33 Bruised Ego II Ewans heart burned first with confusion , then anger , especially when his eyes wandered to the terrible bodily state of his fiancée again .
Hadnt he made a truce with Athena ? Why was she then humiliating him this way ? Didnt she know that this was a slap to his face ? What would people think when they see his almost naked fiancée on the streets ? His hands clenched in anger as his mind gave answers to his questions .
Fiona , noting Ewans change in demeanor , smiled in satisfaction .
Her plans were working .
Yet she maintained the pitiful facade .
Surely he will fight for her ! Surely now , Ewan will hate Athena ! Fiona didnt care for her fathers sanity again , since she believed Athenas deal with Ewan had covered her mothers treatment .
She also didnt care about her fathers possible withdrawal from her , should Athena make a ruckus ; she had Ewan on her side .

He was angry for her .
What did you do , Fiona ? Sandro dropped a bucket of ice on Ewan and Fiona .
He had been standing at the doorpost for a while , watching the annoying display .
Ewans anger dissipated a little , at Sandros question , and he stared at Fiona , hoping for a good .
answer .
How soon had he forgotten that the Athena he had spoken to today had been civil ? Or was that a cover up ? He sighed tiredly , as Fiona started sobbing again .
He darted a glance at Sandro .
His friend was cold , nonchalant even ; an always mood whenever Fiona was around .
Sandro just couldnt stand Fiona .
Ewan often wondered about the reason for this stale mood , especially since Zane , who wasnt always around , tolerated Fionas presence .
And although Sandro had opened up to him six years ago , about Fionas attempt at seduction , attributing his hatred to that moment , Ewan hadnt believed his friend .
He still didnt believe it now .
He only thought Sandro was being Sandro .
Cold .
Fiona was one of the most innocent girls he has ever seen .
She was still a virgin ! She was still Fiona was one of the most innocent girls he has ever seen .
She was still a virgin ! She was still waiting for him to be ready .
She was waiting for their wedding night .
Never mind that he wasnt exactly excited about it Afore time , he had thought that his bodys unwillingness to sleep with her had been because of the virginity matter.a Not until Athenas return , not until her dismissal of him in the restroom of the party hall , did he realize that his body just wasnt attracted to his fiancée .
This realization had dampened his morale , but he had knew that the show must go on .
Fiona had waited enough .
The upcoming marriage now was just a duty to him , as it had been nine years ago .
Fiona , stop crying .
He welcomed Fiona into his arms again , not caring for the red mark she bore almost everywhere .
But Fiona refused to rest her body on Ewans .
After all , it wasnt blood all over her , but lipstick Talk to me .
What did she do ? I cant punish her if you dont speak … Sandro piqued an eyebrow at Ewan .
Punish ? What was his friend planning to do ? But Ewan was set in his ways .
Yes , Zanes father had admonished him not to be at odds with Athena .
Yet , why should he be humiliated this way ? Athena should at least apologize ! Okay , my love … Fiona started tearfully .
Ewan cringed at the word of endearment .
They never used words like that .
I went to plead with her to treat my mom .
I brought gifts from my father too .
I even knelt before her to apologize for the last turbulent years , but she abused me repeatedly ; both with her words , and with her hands .
She also had the security guards manhandle me , before throwing The out Immediately , Fiona pretended to faint , putting Ewans heart in a frenzy .
Fiona ! He called out , when she became plaint in his arms .
Sandro , quick ! Get the car around ! We need to take her to the hospital .
I think her body is so .
weak to stand ! Sandro scoffed , getting Ewans full attention .
Whats that supposed to mean ? Sandro said nothing He rather took a bottle of cold water from the conference table and walked up to the couple ..
15 Brused Sest Fiona shouted as the cold water touched her face .
What the hell ! The shout was so lond and sudden that Ewan didnt know when he released her , and she plunged to the floor with a grunt .
Sandro Ewan glared at his friend .
But Sandro wasnt in the least concerned .
Shes better now .
Isnt she ? He was as amused as he watched the water clean the red hue on Fionas cheeks and lips .
He knew it wasnt blood ! an noticed too , but before he could confirm that .
Fiona started screaming again .
She had noticed Sandros plan .
My back .
My arm She writhed on the floor , holding her stomach .
Ewan didnt know what to do .
In confusion , he grabbed Fiona and lifted her up gently .
Shush..its okay … Flora sobbed the more , annoying Sandro .
She humiliated me .
Ewan … she bruised my ego … see where she slapped me in front of her sistant and the guards ! Ewan noticed the red cheek then .
And his heart hardened against Athena .
Fiona showed him her bruised knees too .
Now , even Sandro was confused .
But the red hue had been a fake ! Had it just been applied to solidify Ewans anger ? Sandro watched as Ewan grabbed Athenas hand and started walking out of the door .
Ewan , wait ! * anted to remind his friend about Herberts advice , but Ewan was gone past hearing his friends plea .
How could Athena bruise Fionas soft knees ? He had seen Fionas knees , and knew how neat and supple they were .
How could Athena spoil that ? Didnt she know that hurting Fiona was hurting him ? Didnt she know his ego would be bruised too ? How could she neglect that after the deal they made ? Why was she so proud ?! When he reached his car , he gently ushered Fiona into the back seat , and followed her in , sitting right beside her .
Fiona utilized the opportunity to snuggle closer to him .
33 Bruised Egol Ewan didnt mind .
He ordered Sandro to drive ; Sandro who had only ran after them to stop his friend from doing something he might regret .
Yet watching Ewan fuming as he finally drove , he wondered if he could stop it .
When they got to the hospital , everyone was busy .
But Ewan didnt need their help .
He beelined to Athenas office .
No one stopped the trio , to ask them what the problem was .
They couldnt afford to cross Ewan Giacometti .
However , one of the nurses , knowing how important Athena was to Zane , called Zane on the phone , and filled him in on the tense visit .
Their doctor was too important to the city .
She couldnt be touched .
