Chapter 90: Proof?
Fiona flinched at Ewan’s words, pulling away slightly. She couldn’t believe he had just accepted his want for Athena.
She watched him revert to his signature cool facade, and knew that if she did nothing at this time, she would lose him forever.
Fiona shook her head subtly. Yes, Athena’s clutches were knee deep into her man, but she would never give up! She has come too far for Athena to have him all to herself!
So, she suddenly leaned forward, almost as if she wanted to grasp Ewan, to pull him back into her orbit. "I can show you that I can change! Just stay with me, Ewan! I’m also in your past!"
Fiona was ready to be termed frantic and desperate by Ewan, so long as he bought into her words!
"No!" Ewan raised his voice, frustration spilling over. How had Fiona become this desperate? "I can’t, not like this. Your way of showing love feels more like a shackle than a bond. I need space. Space to think. Now, I think breaking the engagement was a good choice."
Fiona bowed her head, gritting her teeth, feeling the sting of his words. She had known their relationship had been strained, but now it felt like a chasm, gaping and insurmountable.
What can she do now to salvage the situation? How can she turn Ewan against Athena again? Especially now that he thought her to be psychotic?
The moment stretched, each second laden with palpable tension.
Then an idea happened.
Fiona raised her gaze, tears glimmering in her eyes. She made sure she had Ewan’s steely gaze, before she finally unleashed her weapon.
