SWNOVELS Chapter 85: Ignoring him
AFTER DINNER
"You are still going to stay silent about it, aren’t you?!"
Dominic hissed at her back as she continued to wash the dishes, without looking at him even for a second.
She has been avoiding her, causing irritation within himself.
"What do you mean?" She asked in a blank tone while wiping her hands on her apron.
She has just finished washing the dishes.She was going to turn away from there once again when he had enough and stopped
her by holding her elbow.
But she immediately pulled her hand away and walked toward the dining table without replying to him or looking at him.
"I can’t believe you, Athena! You are still pretending to be clueless! Seriously?"
He hissed in frustration before walking behind her till the dining table once again.
That’s what he has been doing after they finished dinner and Ace went to his room to prepare for sleeping.
Athena has been walking back and forth between the dining table and the kitchen and he has been following her like a desperate
lost puppy.
He wanted to talk to her but she wasn’t showing any interest..
"I am not pretending anything, Dominic.Leave my way.I have to clean up the kitchen." She said with a small frown, while still not
looking at his way as he stood in front of her, blocking her way.
And this was it for Dominic.
He had enough.He lost all his calm and pulled her harshly by her wrist.
Before she could understand anything, she was slammed hard against the nearby wall.
She felt his hand behind her head, to prevent her from getting hurt on the head.She looked up at him with a deep frown while
breathing hard.
"Don’t fucking do this to me, Athena! Don’t fucking ignore me!"
He growled at her before slamming his fist on the wall beside her head with force.
She gasped out loudly while closing her eyes tightly as he punched the wall.She opened her eyes and looked at him in shock
and anger.She can’t believe him!
"Why can’t I ignore you? Don’t you remember that this is what you have been doing to me all day!" She taunted back while
fuming in anger.
She was remembering what she had been going through all morning and felt more hurt.
His closeness, touch and scent was making it more difficult for her to control her emotions.
Her emotions were all over the place.
She wanted to fight with him and be i n his arms at the same time.She was feeling like a pregnant woman all over again!
"Yes and I would have continued doing that if I hadn’t known that my son knows about me being his father." He said while
looking deep into her eyes to show that he was equally hurt as well.
"Whois stopping you, huh? It’s not like it matters to you if your ignorance matters to me or not.You always do whatever you feel
like doing.Do you ever think of me or anyone around you?" She asked in a hurtful tone, she also had enough and the thought of
him ignoring her again triggered her in the wrong place.
"My ignorance matters to you?" He asked in a soft tone, his expression softened as well when he saw the hurt filled look on her
eyes looked away
"I can’t look at those eyes ever again until they are filled with trust for me, Athena." He said with a clenched jaw, his tone was
breaking.
She looked at him in disbelief.
"What do you want me to do now?" She said while looking away from him Her tone was very empty, making him close his fist
tightly.
He didn’t like how she sounded.It still showed how reluctant she was i n giving in and letting Ace know about his father.It showed
how she didn’t trust him yet.
"You know very well what I want, Athena." He said in a defeated tone.
He lost all the energy to fight with Athena regarding this.He was tired
"Fine! I will talk to him.Now leave " Athena said in a blank tone while trying to move away from him but he caught her wrist and
stopped her from moving.
She looked at him with questioning eyes which softened as soon as she looked at his pain filled eyes. She couldn’t complete her
sentence when he put his lips on her, silencing her by the sudden shock.
With their tense environment, she wasn’t expecting that.Her eyes widened but she quickly recovered and kissed him back.
The kiss was filled with sadness, passion and a little bit of helplessness as he kissed her.
While she kissed him back with a few emotions as well such as anger, desperation and helplessness.
They both poured all their emotions into their kiss and took it as a way to express their feelings as they didn’t have the word to do
that.
They were kissing as if they didn’t kiss for days, as if it was their last kiss.
But the kiss didn’t last long as he pulled back, much to her unwillingness and looked at her with a soft look on his face.
She looked up at him with a frown.
He held her face in his firm and warm hands and connected their foreheads together. She immediately touched his hands over
her face and looked at him in the eyes. They both were breathing hard and their heart beats were in sync "Don’t do this until you
are ready.
I am sorry for acting like this just a moment ago I will always wait for you both no matter what That’s what he said and after that,
he walked away without giving her any explanation or saying anything else She looked at him with widened eyes and forwarded
her hand to catch his hand to stop him but he was already far away from her
"Why did that sound like a goodbye?"
She whispered to herself, with her hand over her chest to calm down the pounding a little
