Tonight Stevan promised to take us all out to eat together. Because after the party he disappeared. I know where he went. He must have been with Athena.
My two daughters and I were waiting for Stevan's arrival. I tried to think positively about the two of them. If they ever had a relationship, I don't care. That was the past, and I was his future. Stevan must have chosen me.
We had been waiting for Stevan for two hours, but he hadn't arrived yet. Both my daughters were asleep in their rooms, and I had changed my clothes.
Now I was even more anxious, remembering Stevan's tight embrace of Athena earlier. I started to call Stevan, but he didn't answer. And it wasn't long before Stevan arrived.
"Honey, I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise. Our dinner is canceled. I'm also sorry my cell phone battery died, so I couldn't give you any news," Stevan said, stroking my cheek gently.
I nodded with a smile. I didn't want to fight and wake up my two daughters.
"It's okay. Have you been working a lot?" I asked him.
"Yes, I've been busy lately. I'm sleepy, let's continue our conversation tomorrow," Stevan replied and immediately dropped his body on the bed. He didn't clean up and change his clothes. He looked like he was avoiding my question.
While Stevan was fast asleep, I heard his cell phone ringing.
Earlier he had said that his cell phone battery had run out, but what I saw was that he still had some battery left. I looked at the screen of his cell phone, there were a lot of missed calls from Athena. She had also sent Stevan a message and some photos.
"Thank you for keeping me company tonight. I'm glad you still care about me."
My eyes started to glaze over. I was suddenly afraid to look at some of the photos Athena had sent. She sent me their selfie pictures. They looked so close that I was even surprised to see Stevan kissing Athena.
My tears just flowed remembering Stevan's romantic behavior all these years. It all seemed in vain when Stevan had betrayed me.
“Mom, am I scared?” I was surprised to hear Grace's voice. She was standing in front of the door. She woke up from her sleep.
I wiped away my tears. I didn't want my two daughters to know my sadness.
Grace said to me, “Mom, will you come to bed?”
I was now in my twin daughters' room. Grace said that she had a bad dream about her father. In the dream she saw Stevan traveling away with a woman.
Maybe my daughter's dream was a sign that Stevan had really betrayed me. I began to close my eyes, tonight I would sleep with my two daughters. Seeing Stevan's face would only make my heart disappointed.
Time flies, I opened my eyes, which were already swollen. I cried in the dark last night.
This morning I didn't see Stevan, he left without breakfast. His attitude has changed a lot. Then today I planned to go to Stevan's office to bring breakfast.
Before going, I called Stevan's secretary, and she said that today there was an office party to celebrate their success. Because Stevan managed to cooperate with a company from abroad.
I kept quiet. Stevan didn't talk to me about it, which made me feel suspicious.
Without waiting long, I went to Stevan's office. When I arrived, my heart skipped a beat when I saw Athena.
“What is she doing? Why is she here?” I muttered while regulating my body temperature that was already hot with jealousy.
I was speechless as I saw Athena hugging Stevan's arm. And Stevan was just silent, he wasn't angry at all.
“Hello, I'm Athena, Mr. Stevan's business partner. And I'm his fiancée!” Athena said, showing off the ring on her finger.
Everyone was shocked to hear and see Stevan's betrayal. The food holder in my hand fell down.
Since when did they get engaged?
Annoyed, I stepped onto the stage. I slapped Stevan hard.
"Kimberly I can explain this to you!" said Stevan, panicking at my presence.
"What do you want to explain, Stevan? I was already suspicious of this woman's presence yesterday. It's enough for me, the evidence of your intimacy and your betrayal has explained everything!" I said with annoyance.
I held back my tears to keep from crying. Stevan stopped me in my tracks.
"What proof, Kimberly? I never made out with her," Stevan replied, trying to convince me.
I didn't answer Stevan's words, I ran from this place. I was so embarrassed that everyone knew about my family problems.
Stevan kept chasing me, shouting my name. When I was about to cross the road, I was surprised to see a car approaching me.
My legs suddenly stiffened, and my eyes began to close. It looked like my life was going to end soon.
But I was surprised to feel someone pushing my body. My body rolled over, and my head hit a rock.
"Athena ...."
Before my eyes closed, I saw Stevan calling Athena's name. He even carried Athena's body without caring about me.
Athena had started to take my position. Stevan's attention was already lost to me.
I vaguely saw some people crowding around me.
"Why should you help someone else? I'm your wife," I muttered with a chuckle.
