Athena.
I opened my eyes.
My head throbbed with pain as I forced myself up. The last thing I remembered was being strangled by Maxwell. I placed my hand over my head enduring the pain like my body was torn apart. I subconsciously rubbed a hand over my throat but it didn't hurt.
"Could-- this -be-be- --hell?" I muttered subconsciously trying to look around. The place looked nothing like hell but was rather the familiar place that I knew very well.
Why is it that I'm dead but still feel alive and who was that man?
His long black hair hung down to his waist, almost the same length as mine, his green eyes looked at me, and my world crumbled. Nice eyes but deadly stares that could pass through someone like a bullet. A sharp jawline and a sharp pointed nose add to what you would call a handsome Greek God. His black shirt made a little work to hide how muscular he was. He wore black pants that made him stand out like the Devil. He wasn't wearing any shoes.
My mind was muddled by everything that was happening. I had no idea how I survived but it felt nice to resurrect from the dead. I pinched myself on my cheek and it hurt like hell. I jolted up at the sudden pain and sat up on the bed.
I jumped down from the bed and stumbled over to the mirror. A pair of bloodshot eyes, pale pink lips, and a body with almost no meat. Skinny and tall with messy pink dyed hair.
I was now very sure that it was me. A flat girl above and below that can be shaken by a strong breeze.
Thinking about the tragic death and Maxwell who had killed me with his own hands, I felt bitterly disappointed.
I had been so blindly in love with him for eight years, yet he betrayed and killed me without any indecisiveness.
I rubbed my middle finger onto my pale lips before licking it angrily. A tear dropped from my eye. I don't know why I was crying maybe I was sad, regretful for not finding out sooner the about two-faced man that I used to love.
Slowly, I raised my head and stared coldly at my reflection. I swore to myself to pay him 100 times what he did to me. I was determined to turn his life into a living hell to the extent he wished he was never born.
"Awake?" a familiar yet creeping voice, whispered next to my ear before kissing my neck.
This exact scene was from seven years before my rebirth. During that time, I always thought I was the apple of his eye, his future wife, the mother of his kids, and everything to him but thinking back he only saw me as a thing to climb his way up.
Since God had given me a chance to live my life again, I had to change everything.
"I will be staying with Leanna for a couple of days," I said disdainfully, pushing him off me. I was disgusted by his touches, I wanted to slap him hard in the face but it wasn't the right time. I wanted to play with him and give him a gift.
"Why are you pushing me? Did I do something wrong? Come on, Athena. Talk to me." he shouted demandingly.
I had decided to walk away from him but he was asking for it.
I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists as I turned and walked up to him.
"You wanna know why?" I hissed at him.
My fist collided with his jaw, and not even a second after. He stumbled back as I threw an uppercut, breaking his nose.
Blood spewed from his nose as he looked at me angrily. "Damn bitch, how dare you?"
I cracked my knuckles as a wicked smile danced on my lips. "I'm the bitch here? What about you? A King of whores? Oh no, the President of scumbags?"
His expression was ice-cold. He placed his right hand over his nose as his emotionless eyes stared at me. "Hey flat girl, can you at least tell me what I have done?" he smiled
That was the same smile before he killed me.
"How long has it been since you got together with Amanda?" I chuckled wickedly as my leg collided with his stomach.
He grasped my leg and pinned me down on the floor before sitting on top of me. Max gripped my small neck with his large hands and started squeezing with his all energy, cutting off my air.
Same familiar scene
"Where did the brave Athena go? I thought you were too powerful but look now. You are under my palms." he smirked.
"Get---the---f#ck----o off" I choked, letting the words escape my lips as I twitched my hips with all my strength causing him to lose control and collapse on the floor.
Taking advantage of the situation, I knocked him unconscious since I couldn't fight him. I was too weak compared to him given that he was a man.
"You made me do this," I said coldly as I narrowed my eyes. I pulled him and tied him onto the bed after stripping him. I wanted to see his expression after he woke up.
An hour later,
I held the bucket full of ice water in my hands. I placed it in front of Max, near his manhood as an evil smile stretched across my lips.
I pulled out a cigarette from the cigarette pack on top of the table on the right of the bed. I puffed onto the cigarette as I hummed. I wasn't even sure of the song I was humming, just couldn't help it.
I pulled out cigarette away from my mouth before puffing it at his face. I picked up his phone from the pant pockets that he had been wearing before. I wanted to entertain myself with a good show. I tried several passwords but none of them worked. My birthday didn't work. His didn't also. The day we started dating didn't also work
Surprisingly, his password was Amanda's birthday as I had guessed. I was too blind to notice the cheaters no wonder Leanna had always hated Max.
"Pass by my place right now. I have a surprise for you." I texted Amanda with an evil smile. I knew she would come as soon as she read the message given that it was just a ten-minute walk from home to Max's place.
Thinking about it, Max had rented a place near Amanda's home to ease their meet-ups without being discovered by the stupid me who thought he was doing it out of devotion he had for me.
Ten minutes later,
Just when Max had just woken up, I had a knock on the door. "The show is just beginning," I whispered to him, taping my fingers on his face. He struggled to let out a word but I had tied his mouth with duct tape.
"What?" I smiled bitterly, looking down at his little thing down his legs. The thing he had was like a ten-year-old. I wanted to tease him a bit longer but his face was unbearable to look at and the main show was soon reaching in the house.
I grabbed my camera and took good shots of him for future use. I rested my camera on my bag and looked at Max one more time before walking away.
