9 Shameless Display Athena inhaled deeply , as she watched herself in the mirror , prepping herself for the journey ahead .
Ewan had recognized her .
Her father too .
She sighed , and washed her hands in the sink .
To be honest , she had expected it .
She hadnt changed much after all ; and she hadnt taken Glannas advice to undergo plastic surgery before returning to the city .
To enjoy a peaceful existence .
Her friend had remarked .
No.
She had chosen rather to come back as she was , because somewhere within her , a darkness lurked , seeking revenge .
She wanted them to pay for the evil they had committed against her .
Athena would have loved to start her revenge plan now , but she remembered the deal she made with Gianna .
Seeing her foes though , she wished she hadnt done so .
Watching her hands try to steady themselves , she wished she hadnt agreed to the deal .
But she wasnt one to break a promise , so she would wait .
Just then , the hairs on her neck stood erect , as a cold feeling assailed her entire body , starting from that sensitive neck , down to her feet covered in silver stilettos .
But Athena already knew who was approaching her .
Ewan .
Of course , her ex husbands prideful self wasnt able to swallow her swift denial of their relationship, without making a fuss .
Maybe , she didnt have to worry about upsetting Gianna after all ; maybe she wouldnt have to break the promise .
Steeling herself , especially her heart which tended to betray her in the face of this particular male specimen she wore a plastic smile and swerved , giddy with satisfaction when she caught Ewan staring at her hips .
Didnt he mention that he was engaged to Fiona ? This would be fun .
She rested her waist at the sinks edge , and waited for Ewans questions .
But Ewan said nothing .
He didnt make a move either .
He only stood and stared at Athena , as if he couldnt get enough of her face , as if he had the whole time in the world to stare at a fine piece of art .
Athena piqued her right eyebrow in impatience , however , when two minutes of silence stretched between them , when no one interrupted them either .
7/4 9 Shameless Display Had the egotistical brat shunned everyone away from the restroom reserved for females ? She thought .
Interesting .
Shrugging mentally , not up for silly games , she picked her purse from the sink , and strode toward the exit .
If Ewan wasnt going to speak , she wasnt going to stay and watch him .
But as she tried to walk past him , Ewan held her by the arm , and drew her close to him .
Where are you going , wife ? a Athena hissed and swiftly shook her arm out of his grip .
Last I checked Ewan , we are divorced .
I think we should stick to that reality .
I have no intention of becoming that miserable anymore .
a Why did you come back then ? How are you the famous doctor that had brought cure to the disease that had plagued Zanes father ? Ewans face and voice mirrored aggressive irritation while his eyes perused the face that had haunted his dreams for the past six years .
It annoyed him greatly that Athena was looking ravishing , as one with no care in the world , while he had been ridden with guilt every day , despite her being the guilty one .
She had cheated on him , and now she was back like nothing happened ! Annoyance and frustration burned within him when Athena gave no answer to his question .
Instead she stared at him with those beautiful eyes of hers , as if he had gone crazy .
When she finally opened her mouth to speak , he concentrated on the fullness of her lips and how tempting they were .
Without meaning to , he remembered what those lips had done on him in time past ; pleasurable ministrations which he had missed .
Ewan held back a groan of exasperation when his little man stood at attention .
So it has been in good condition all these years ? Quickly , he turned aside , embarrassed , more so when Athena cocked her head to the side with a sly smile on her lips .
But she didnt say a word , as he had assumed .
No.
She just looked at him like he was trash , shook her head in derision , and strode out of the restroom .
For a full minute , Ewan was immobile with shock , his quest to push his little man down , forgotten .
Athena had never walked out on him before .
Neither had she looked at him like he was nothing .
She has become more feisty , He had first seen the leving that clues six years ago , when she had stood straight in the court , whilst elent with Luca 24 Shameless Display Without Sandro knowing , he had done investigations about that incident , but the CCTV footage of the hotel had been erased .
There had been no way to confirm the truth .
But he hadnt sought for her because he was sure that she and her father had trapped him in a marriage to control his town , to control his wealth , to use him as a breeder .
Thinking of that now made Ewan so angry , that he strode out of the restroom briskly to search out Athena , and query her for returning something he couldnt do carlier because of her deceptive beauty that had dried the words in his mind and tongue .
He wont fall for her spell again ! He promised to himself , stopping in his tracks when he saw her talking with Zane again .
They looked so intimate , with Zanes hand around her waist .
Ewan gritted his teeth , not caring when Fiona came to stand beside him and spoke : Did she say anything ? He ignored her , and walked up to Zane , determined to expose Athenas true character to his old friend .
Zane , do you know anything about the woman standing beside you … apart from the fact that she is a doctor ? Zane looked at Ewan , and then at Athena who was sporting an aloof countenance .
Behind them , Fiona watched with an open mouth and fisted hands .
This had been her worst nightmare ; Ewan being besotted with Athena again .
Even six years ago , he had been , without knowing it .

Yes .
I believe I know all I should .
Zane finally replied , holding Athenas waist tighter , managing to conceal his annoyance at his friends shameless display .
Then you know that Zack Moore is her father ? Ewan continued , folding his arms across his chest , a smirk dancing on his lips .
Zanes hand tightened further on Athenas waist , causing her to bite her lips .
Athena knew she had offended her good friend .
She would apologize when they were free from the parasites .
Yes , I knew he was the one .
Is there a problem ? Zane answered , gritting his teeth .
Ewans smirk metamorphosed to a wicked smile .
Yes , theres a problem .
Do you remember the story I told you sometime ago , about a father and daughter that tried to ensnare me with a marriage contract ? Zane nodded slowly , aware of the discomfort rising in his belly .
He also didnt like the satisfied look on his friends face .
Well , the father is Zack , and the daughter is Athena .
The duo had brought up the contract that would 3 < 9 Shameless Display Athenas sharp intake of breath coincided with the exact moment that Zanes hand fell from her waist .
What are you talking about , Ewan ? Zane battled with unbelief , but fisted his hands in anger .
He refused to look at Athena either , not sure he wanted to see the look on her face .
She had lied .
to him .
Doctor Athena here is the girl who turned me into a breeder , who cheated on me , who caused my companys stocks to plunge , and who caused our investments to go underwater … Athena opened her mouth to defend herself , but shut it after a second thought .
There was not need for that .
If Zane chose to believe Ewan , she wouldnt try to change his mind ; neither would she speak , until she was spoken to .
So , she maintained the aloof countenance and continued to watch Ewan speak , only breaking her resolve when he shot the last bullet : So Zane , to make a more appropriate introduction ; meet the woman who you vowed to kill , should the both of you see … A pause .
Zane , meet my scheming wife , Athena .
