I chuckled at my stupidity. Meanwhile, I looked at Stevan in surprise.
"I never changed our inheritance rights, it should be you and our two daughters' names on the document. How come, Athena?" Stevan tried to explain to me.
I was fed up with Stevan, he always lied and didn't acknowledge the evidence.
"You think changing inheritance rights is easy? It can only be done by you, Stevan!" I said irritably.
I didn't know what else to say. I wanted to get angry and beat him up, but it was useless.
"Athena, what are you doing? Why is your name on the letter?" asked Stevan irritably while shaking Athena's shoulders.
"You changed it when I asked you that night, did you forget?"
"Listen, Stevan! Athena is telling the truth. I know that the night you canceled our dinner, you were at her hotel. You kissed him, and I also heard you talking in the park," I said, letting out my heartache over Stevan.
"I did go to his hotel, but only because Athena needed my help. And I never kissed her!"
"So she was more important than our dinner?" I asked irritably. "And that kiss I saw on your phone, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself!"
Stevan fell silent again, his guilt had been exposed. He couldn't make any more excuses. I saw Stevan checking his phone. His surprised face made me smile wryly.
"I never kissed Athena, I was drunk, Kimberly. I wasn't sober," Stevan replied, explaining everything.
"Whether you were sober or not, you were still wrong. It's not good for a married man to be in a single woman's hotel at night!" I said, trying to tug on my daughter's hand, which was currently in Stevan's grasp.
"Honey, come with Mommy, let's go for a walk and play!" I said back to my twin daughters.
"No, Mommy, I want to be with Daddy."
My daughters replied in unison, they broke my heart.
"Did you hear Kimberly? She wants to be with me, if you want to go, please!" replied Stevan, who didn't prevent me from leaving.
Stevan brought me to this house. He said that he and I would live until death do us part.
I said nothing, I couldn't leave without my two daughters. I watched as Stevan gave my daughter to Athena.
"Honey, don't you want to be with Mom? You won't see Mom later," I said, trying to persuade Grace and Grice again.
"You're bad, you want to separate me from Daddy," they replied together.
I was speechless, how could little children talk like that? I looked at Athena, who was quietly smiling. She must have taught my two daughters. The proof is that they look close to Athena.
"Get out of my way, Athena! You have no right to interfere in my family affairs!" I said irritably, pushing her body.
Athena fell down, grimacing in pain. And Stevan gave me a sharp look as he helped Athena up.
"Stevan, that hurts! I've been good to Kimberly, I want to be your second wife without you divorcing her. But she's so mean," Athena said tearfully.
"I don't want us to fight in front of Grace and Grice. I think you're right, we don't need to live together right now. Go, Kimberly, I don't want to hurt you."
My body went limp at Stevan's words. He kicked me out, and I walked away. Now my life was so dark, I was alone.
For the second time I failed in marriage. Stevan, who I thought was my destiny, turned out to be wrong. Our love journey only ended here.
While I was outside the house, a man came over.
"Mrs. Athena, I want to confirm about the wedding hall that has been booked. We'd like to discuss it with you."
I paused, it turned out that Stevan had gone this far. He was already preparing for his wedding with Athena.
"Sorry, I'm not Athena's mistress, she's inside making out with my husband," I replied while holding back my tears.
I got into my car and drove away from this house.
Until I finally arrived at the villa, the place of my honeymoon with Stevan. This villa was our wedding gift. This place reminds me of how happy Stevan was with me. Our unrivaled intimacy made many people jealous.
As I stepped out, I cried at the sight of the beach at night. The night breeze embraced my sadness.
I stare at my phone screen. Opening the photo gallery to see each of our memories. The smiles etched on each of our faces were now faded because of Athena's presence.
I took off my wedding ring, throwing it away until it was carried away by the sea. Just as Stevan had left and would never return.
