Dear Ex Wife Please take me back (Athena and Alex) novel Chapter 164

ALEX

“No!”

Athena twists and turns.

I’m fucking tired, but I had work to do.

Being on Rayen's camping trip meant days off the grid, no meetings, no calls and no fires to put out, which only meant more load piling up the second I stepped back into the office.

I have no regrets though. I'd do this anyday. Hell, I'd even stay a year if Athena asked me to.

I had asked Ryan to make sure the room we got was spacious enough to fit a working table. Most of our hotels don't have them because the whole point is for our clients to relax. That way, they get to notice every service we offer.

They spend more money that way.

Simple business Mathematics.

I sat on the desk with my laptop open, a dozen unread emails staring at me, and yet, my brain refused to cooperate.

Every time I tried to concentrate, images of her kept bleeding through.

Beautiful long black hair.

Thick thighs and curves to end any man.

Cute kissable lips that drive me fucking insane.

Sometimes, I don't blame Noah and Zayan. Athena is a type of woman who can bring anyone to their knees without even trying.

Not that I approve my cousin hitting on my woman. I'm highly possessive and that isn’t going to stop now. If anything, it has increased ten fold.

I thought I wasn't a jealous man, but fuck! Have I been proven wrong. Everytime she told me to get the hell out while she laughed with another man, I felt like I was taking my last breath.

It's a shock I'm still alive.

I refused the room service to touch the roses. She wanted them clean, I was going to do it. But I didn't throw them away, I had placed them in a huge basket so she can look at them.

Tomorrow morning when they wither, I'll replace them. I'll do this everyday for the rest of our lives.

In future, I might not bring 5,674 roses all at once, but I'll make sure she has a flower waiting for her when she wakes up.

After we took a shower and ate, she finally stopped fighting me and agreed to the situation.

She said She’d let me stay only if I promised to stay far away from her.

I couldn't even if I tried so I said no.

But between us, I would’ve slept on nails if it meant being near her.

My laptop lights up, showing me another email. I'm about to open it when another movement catches the side of my eye,

She is….

Twisting again.

Her brows furrow, her mouth tightens. She kicks the sheets off and then curls into herself like she’s trying to hide from something I can’t see.

I know a nightmare when I see one.

“Shit!”

I shut the laptop without a second thought and move to the edge of the bed.

Quiet and careful.

Something in me clenches when I see the tears slipping from the corners of her closed eyes.

“Athena,” I whisper. “Wake up, baby.”

She flinches at my voice, her breath coming out in sharp bursts now. Her hands fist the blanket like she’s trying to hold herself together.
