Chapter 1818: You’ve Gone Completely Mad
In the past few days, Athena’s wound had been gradually healing since her stitches were removed.
Christian’s people kept a close eye on her. She could hardly move an inch and was confined to Christian’s villa, cut off from the outside world.
Athena seethed with hatred. Zhang Long had betrayed her, and all the people who were once associated with both her and Christian had turned their backs on her after seeing her injured. She had lost control over them.
Mr. Ballard was indeed Mr. Ballard. Once he took action, everyone responded immediately.
Now Athena could only wait for Cloud to come and rescue her. The OGW members were her allies. However, Cloud had been completely silent lately, and her patience was wearing thin.
“Ping pang pong pang!” A loud sound of shattering objects echoed through the room. Athena was smashing things, desperately smashing everything she could find until there was almost nothing left unbroken.
Little Ling, the servant who attended to Athena, trembled in fear, hiding in a corner.
“Miss Athena, please stop smashing things, I beg you!” Little Ling cried out. Although she had pressed the call button after Athena woke up, none of the black-clad people outside dared to come in and stop Athena.
Athena continued her outburst.
Suddenly, she grabbed a cup and threw it at Little Ling. Little Ling couldn’t dodge in time, and the cup hit her forehead, creating a bloody hole. She winced in pain, covering her forehead with her hand as blood seeped through her fingers.
“Damn it, you bastard! Who do you think you are, trying to monitor me? What are you even worth? Go and fetch Christian for me!” Athena shouted, causing a ruckus.
Christian arrived after hearing the commotion.
Entering the room, he saw the wreckage, shattered glass, broken porcelain, a smashed table lamp, and chairs strewn about. Christian furrowed his brow deeply. “Stop! This is enough madness!”
Seeing the injured Little Ling, Christian coldly commanded, “You go take care of your wound.”
Little Ling had lost a significant amount of blood and was on the verge of fainting. She quickly stood up, covering her bleeding wound with her hand, and fled from the room.
Athena interrogated Christian, “What do you mean? You actually want to imprison me!”
“Look at yourself now!” Christian’s eyes blazed with anger. He had never seen Athena so crazed before. Perhaps this was her true nature that he had been oblivious to all along. He had been blindfolded, kept in the dark.
“What do I look like? Isn’t this what you wanted? Otherwise, what did you think I was like? Obedient, gentle, and sensible? It’s you who drove me crazy. Don’t think I don’t know. It was you who revealed the address of the unlocker to them. Otherwise, they would never have found it. It was you who ruined my plan. It was all you. Otherwise, how could I have ended up like this today? I had already achieved my goal. Are you satisfied now?” Athena yelled, “Why? Why did you help that bitch Joyce? Don’t you know how much I hate her? Do you? I’ve become this crazy all because of her. Why did you save her back then? Wouldn’t it be better if she died? Then everything would be mine. It’s all because of you, everything is your fault!”
“You’ve gone completely mad,” Christian fumed, suppressing his handsome face to the extreme. “I saved Joyce because I love her. Are you satisfied with this answer?”
“You! Just as I expected! You finally admit it,” Athena laughed hysterically. “Didn’t you love me? Haven’t you loved me since we were young? On what grounds did you transfer your affections? Why? Why did you choose to love that bitch Joyce?”
“That’s enough! Don’t insult her anymore! If it weren’t for the bond we shared from childhood, do you think you’d still be alive now? I should have killed you long ago,” Christian lashed out in anger.
“Go ahead, kill me. Am I supposed to be afraid of you? Since you love her, why don’t you go and get her? Why did you let her go back to Luther? Are you stupid? You had so many opportunities, why didn’t you sleep with her? If you did, she would have been completely devoted to you. Nothing would be in the way now. So, everything is because of you. Because of your indecisiveness, your weakness,” Athena sneered.
“You don’t understand love at all,” Christian’s face grew darker. “Love should be mutual. I can’t force her. But you’ve always been obsessed and unwilling to let go. If you love Luther so much, why can’t you make him happy? Why do you insist on usingsuch despicable means? You even went as far as targeting a child. Kidnapping Anderson and hiding Alisha, manipulating Alisha. You’re not worthy of being called a human! It’s the Ballard family’s failure to discipline you properly. From now on, you will stay here forever until you realize your mistakes.”
Athena laughed maniacally, “Mistakes? I haven’t made any mistakes. The foolish one is you.”
She tore off her clothes frantically, revealing her underwear underneath. Then, she ripped off her own skirt. She lunged at Christian, embracing his waist.
Christian looked at her in disbelief, “What are you doing?”
“Don’t pretend. Don’t you want my body?” Athena clasped his belt. “I know you’ve had such thoughts. When I turned eighteen, you wanted to do this, didn’t you? You’ve been waiting for ten years. Now I’m right in front of you. Come on, sleep with me. I’ll let you sleep with me as long as you grant me one request. I want to kill Joyce and Luther. I want them dead. Help me! I’ll give you anything. Just help me. Look at me. Isn’t this the body you’ve been yearning for?”
Her hand slid downward.
“You’re insane,” Christian’s eyes showed disgust as he forcefully pushed her away. “You’re truly completely mad.”
He looked at her sorrowfully, at her delicate porcelain doll-like face, now twisted like a devil’s. She had been completely consumed by her desires. She was so wicked and twisted that there was no saving her.
Athena fell to the ground when he pushed her, and her shoulder started to ache due to the sudden movement.
She laughed hysterically, her laughter mixed with sobs, “Who do you think you are, pushing me away? I am your closest person, the one you once loved the most.”
Suddenly, waves of pain surged through her. She was in such agony that her teeth were chattering, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
“Medicine! Give me medicine!” She suddenly shouted, “Quickly, get me painkillers!”
Christian refused, “You already had an injection today. You have to quit.”
“I beg you, give me painkillers.” Athena threw herself at Christian again, even removing her own underwear. “If you want me, I’ll give you anything. Give me an injection. I can’t bear it anymore.”
Christian looked at her with a pained heart, lifted her up abruptly, and threw her onto the bed. He handcuffed her hands to the head of the bed and covered her body with a blanket, concealing her.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“From today on, you must quit your addiction to drugs. I will never give you painkillers again! I will have someone watch over you 24/7!” Christian almost looked at her with hatred as he turned and left Athena’s room.
From behind, Athena’s curses continued unabated.
“Christian, you’re just a coward!”
