Chapter 164 He is a Total Psycho

In that moment, she actually remembered that night eight years ago. She hadn’t been completely unconscious that night, but she had been too powerless to fight back.

The fear in Athena’s eyes annoyed Lewis. He frowned and said, “Athena, are you afraid of me?”

Of course!

You’re acting like a maniac, trying to force yourself on me–how could I not be scared?

Athena struggled, clawing at his hand to make him let go, but Lewis had no intention of releasing her. He was worried about alarming someone else in the other room.

He leaned closer to Athena’s ear, his breath heavy as he murmured, “Athena, don’t people say married couples always make up in the end?”

Make up my ass!

In her heart, Athena cursed him out.

“I know things between you and Zaden aren’t real. You’re just using him to get under my skin. You guys aren’t even sharing a room.”

Lewis let out a low laugh. “You almost had me fooled.”

Yeah right! You’re just imagining things!

Who says we’re married, anyway?

Athena quickly figured out that while she was using the bathroom, Lewis had snuck into the room, so he knew she was sharing a room with Teri. She started regretting how careless she’d been. She should’ve locked the sliding glass door in the living room before going to bed!

But it was too late to change anything now. The only thing she could do was figure out how to

escape.

Her eyes scanned the bathroom, searching for something to knock Lewis out with.

But the place was spotless. Aside from some toiletries, there was nothing useful.

A wave of despair washed over Athena.

A woman could never match a man’s strength. All she could do was hope Zaden would hear the commotion and come to save her.

If… if he slept through everything, then she’d just chalk it up to bad luck.

Athena closed her eyes for a moment.

She didn’t know when it happened, but Zaden had become her sense of security. Maybe it was all those times he’d shown up right when she needed him, and she’d grown dependent on it.

But he couldn’t always appear like some kind of hero.

Lewis’s breathing got more erratic, his eyes locked on Athena. She was wearing a strappy nightgown, and her chest was so fair it almost glowed. It left him parched just looking at her.

Suddenly, a burst of anger flared up in him for no reason.

Does she dress like this every day when she’s staying under the same roof as Zaden?

She must be trying to tempt Zaden on purpose!

The thought made Lewis’s eyes go bloodshot.

He gritted his teeth. “Athena, there’s no way Zaden would ever be with you. Everyone in our circle knows he’s waiting for someone else. Did you wear something like this just to get his attention?”

Athena’s mouth was covered, but she could still move her eyes.

She rolled them hard.

Lewis is out of his mind!

He calls this revealing? By that standard, the whole city is full of revealing women.

But wait, what did he say?

Zaden is waiting for someone?

Athena couldn’t help getting distracted. She felt like she’d just stumbled onto a secret.

Lewis kept her mouth covered, pressing his body against hers. He couldn’t kiss her lips, so he moved lower.

When he leaned in, Athena’s face changed in an instant.

She fought him with everything she had, but nothing worked. She was swallowed up by fear, like she was trapped in a deep pit.

Now that she’d finally cut ties with Lewis, she wanted nothing more to do with him.

“Mm… let… let go of me!”

Finished

Athena tried to bite his hand, desperate for him to let her go. Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes, and her heart was filled with terror and despair.

Every last bit of feeling she’d had for Lewis was gone.

Now, all she felt for him was total disgust.

“Athena?”

In that moment of despair, Athena heard Zaden’s voice from outside the bathroom door.

Suddenly, it felt like dawn had broken.

But Lewis clamped down even harder. Hearing Zaden, he reached up and gripped her neck, making sure she couldn’t make a sound.

Zaden waited for a bit, then said, “I’m going back to bed.”

Athena’s eyes widened as she screamed inside.

Don’t go!

But Zaden’s footsteps faded away. Athena gave up hope and stopped fighting back. She resigned herself to fate.

There was no way she could escape this.

Lewis looked at Athena with a hint of regret. “That’s a shame. If Zaden were still out there, doing this right in front of him would’ve made it even more exciting.”

He is a total psycho! Disgusting!

Athena couldn’t find any other words to describe Lewis anymore. Her disgust for him had hit its peak–he was a complete bastard.

Bang!

The bathroom door flew open.

Zaden stood there, his handsome face frosty, and his eyes sharp as a hawk. Seeing Lewis pinning Athena down, his expression grew even darker.
