4 Banished Didnt you hear me ? Get out of here , slut ! Athena remained stiff , as her father slapped her for the third time , and asked her out of the family compound .
Father , I just want my belongings and … But Mr.
Zack Moore wasnt one to listen when angry .
Shut up , you ungrateful child ! I dont want to hear any nonsense from you ! The one thing you could have done for me , out of your miserable existence , you failed at it .
You couldnt give me a son , and you couldnt keep your marriage .
Rather you soiled my reputation , and destroyed my chance of profiting off that proud boy .
I shouldnt have let your mother bring you in when she had found you at the barn .
Cursed be the person that had dropped you by our doorstep , and cursed be you ! Athena stirred then , having heard that she wasnt her fathers daughter .
What are you talking about , father ? What do you mean … But Zack wasnt having any of it .
He called for his assistants son .
Take this slut out of here .
I dont want to ever see her in this compound .
She is forever banished from this family , from my town , and from this city ! Athena cried out loudly in pain , as she felt the breaking of the familial bonds for the second time .
When Ewan had issued his rejection , the same thing had happened .
Pain .
Loneliness .
Rejection .
She would have felt useless , would have given in to despair , but for the baby residing in her womb .
She had to be strong .
Not wanting the hands of Marco , the deputys son , on her , she turned around before she could be touched and left the compound , walking the short distance to Giannas house .
There was a high probability that she wouldnt be accepte but she had to take the risk .
She needed her friends help .
past the door by Giannas parents , Luckily for Athena , Gianna was the one that opened the door , when she knocked .
She heaved in relief , when her best friend engulfed her in a bear hug before demanding that she step inside the sitting room .
4 Banished I cant , Gianna .
My father just banished me .
It would spell trouble for you and your family if Im seen here .
You know how it works in this town .
I just need you to help me with cash , and a few clothes .
I promise , I will pay you back Athena pleaded with her friend , who sighed in annoyance at the precarious situation .
This is unfair .
Giana muttered , as she gestured with her hand that Athena should wait , whilst she strolled into the house , without shutting the front door .
Athena smiled wistfully at this she knew that her friend left the door open as a challenge to any onlooker , she knew that Gianna wanted her to come inside still and take a seat .
But Athena wasnt selfish , so she stayed outside , on the porch , until Gianna returned ten minutes later .
You really stood outside ? Thats alright … didnt expect anything less from you .
Here … Gianna dropped a big backpack on the ground .
It contains some clothes and the necessary accessories very important to our gender .
There is also some cash ; I stowed it away at that particular bottom pocket known to only you and 1.
It should be enough to get you by .
And lastly , take this … She handed a piece of paper to an already emotional Athena , Its an address .
When you get there , ask for Antonio .
He is a friend of mine .
Just tell him that I sent you .
He would know what to do .
He is a good person .
Athena muttered a heartfelt thank you , before engulfing her friend in a hug that lasted until Giannas mother came into the sitting room .
What is happening here ? Gianna , didnt you hear Zacks decree ? Athena muttered a greeting to Mrs.
Aldo, and without much ado , picked up the backpack and said a goodbye to her best friend , before hurriedly turning away and descending down the short said a to bring trouble to her friend .
steps , not When she got to the borders of the town , she saw Fiona in talks with the security personnel of Ewans town .
Their borders were just opposite each other , separated by a grassy chasm , a lengthy path that served as a common route outside the regions confines .
4 Banished Oh , what do we have here ?! Fiona screamed in sheer delight and derision when she saw Athena .
She had just been instructing the security personnel stationed for todays patrol to not let Athena into the town , no matter what .
She had believed that Athena might strut in to plead with Ewan for a second chance , or help .
Whatever it was , Fiona didnt want the duo to cross paths again .
She had gone to terrifying lengths to separate the both ; she couldnt bear to have her efforts nullified at this time .
It was great that Ewan had banished Athena from the entire city too .
The power her man held ! Athena , pretending that she wasnt hearing any of Fionas gibberish , tightened her grasp on the backpack , and started threading the grassy path that would lead her out of the region .
But Fiona wasnt one to be ignored .
How dare you ignore me ? She asked , dragging Athena by the arm .
Who do you think you are , walking out on me ? Do you forget that you are alone now , that you are useless ? Worse , you have no education , so I wonder how you will survive without your fathers aid .
I heard he disowned you .
A snide chuckle followed the statement .
Athena gritted her teeth in anger , before violently shaking herself away from Fionas grip .
You got what you wanted , Fiona .
So , let me be .
I know that you and your father had been behind the set up with Luca .
I suggest you mind your business at this point , or else I might scatter your fairytale reality with just one word to Ewan .
Fiona indulged in a disjointed laughter , to mask the antsy feeling that was crawling over her body .
at Athenas words .
A word to Ewan that would puncture her joyful moment ? What could that be ? Was the illiterate bitch serious , or was she just making a fake attempt at being brave ? Athena scoffed , seeing the near speechlessness of Fiona .
Of course , she would never tell Ewan that she was pregnant at this point he wouldnt even believe her but it was nice unsettling Fiona .
The latter always thought she had things in control -the reason for the ever present proud look on her face .
You should be out of here , bitch , before Ewan takes notice of your presence .
He is still pissed at your ruthless acts .
Fiona cited , folding her arms across her chest , as she faked pity , whilst rejoicing inside at seeing her rival in pain .
C & Banished She laughed more wildly , when she saw the comical expressions on the faces of Fiona , and the two security personnel that were behind the latter .
They must think her crazy .
But she didnt care .
She was stirred now , and while at it , she would love to hear the truth from Fiona .
She would love to know how they had gotten her childhood friend to their side .
He wasnt even from their town .
How could he betray her ? You were behind it , right ? You were behind the set up .
You and your father .
She inquired calmly , dying the laughter , keeping a firm hold on the backpack and on her feelings .
Fiona scoffed at the question before asking the guards to leave .
When she was sure they were far gone .
she turned around and looked at Athena with contempt .
Yes , I did it , and so what ? Athena nodded , not in the least surprised about the answer .
Luca … how did you get him to your side ? Was his meeting me a planned operation ? Was that where the setup had begun ? Luca was easy to win over .

Fiona lied , perturbed when her words had no desired effect on Athena .
It was like the latter had taken Ewans cold demeanor with her .
Has she always been like this ? Why wasnt she rising to the bait ? Or was this how her surrender looked like ? Was she tired of fighting ? That must be it .
Fiona thought with a nod , about opening her mouth to spurt more lies , when a deep voice sauntered into the conversation going on between the women .
Whats going on here ? Fiona jumped frightfully as she heard the voice behind her .
Sandro ?
