His Mistress is His Ex-Wife Chapter 108: Happy Pill

When Vladimir planted a gentle kiss on Athena’s forehead, she just closed her eyes and stayed still, savoring the mont.

For the past two years, she had to admit that Vladimir had given her several signs about his feelings for her, however she chose to turn a blind eye to it because she had to focus on her goal.

Vladimir was a guy whom a woman could ever ask for. She was grateful for his feelings for her. She even felt flattered. Yet, she wasn’t ready to open her heart again and be in a relationship.

Maybe... if her wounds would be healed in ti, she might be able to give herself a chance and entertain the thought of trying to fall in love again. And she hoped, after getting her revenge, she could fall for the right man.

She wasn’t closing the door to opening her heart to Vladimir. But this was not the right ti for that.

"Thank you for your understanding, V. I won’t force you to wait for . I won’t give you false hope. If you ever get tired of waiting, just let know. Don’t worry, I’ll accept your decision and I will wish for you to find happiness." Athena reached out, caressing his face. This ti she t his gaze. Then she tiptoed, planting a soft kiss on Vladimir’s right cheek.

Vladimir: "..." (*Stood frozen while blushing, his heart pounding crazily against his chest*)

She just wanted to express her gratitude toward him through that kiss. But that small gesture was enough for Vladimir to be more motivated to pursue her. He would wait for her until she was ready to accept his love.

"I will never get tired of you... I promise I will be patiently waiting for you. I will pursue you... I can’t afford to lose you to another guy," Vladimir reassured her. His brows twitched as he recalled the guy who claid himself as Athena’s boyfriend.

Vladimir held her close once again, not letting her go.

anwhile, Athena appeared to be worried when he ntioned another guy. Dominique’s gorgeous face popped up on her mind. A sense of uncertainty flickered in her eyes.

’I’m trying to win Dominique’s heart because of my revenge. If Vladimir will learn about this, I wonder if he will have a change of heart. I don’t think he will be able to accept it or understand it. I’m throwing away my morals... I’m using all ans to get Dominique’s attention... I even get intimate with him from ti to ti...’ Athena looked down, feeling ashad of herself. She lost her confidence to et Vladimir’s eyes.

’Sigh. I’m broken... I feel dirty... so disgusting. Vladimir doesn’t deserve .’ Thinking about it, Athena finally broke the hug and gently pushed Vladimir away, simply distancing herself from him.

"I’m gonna take a shower first. Have you eaten your breakfast?" Athena changed the topic.

Instead of answering her, Vladimir replied to her with another question. "Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll buy breakfast for you." He was concerned about Athena.

Athena just let out a soft giggle. "You can order anything. I’ll just go upstairs to freshen up. Can you wait for here?"

"Of course!" Vladimir promptly responded with a determined look on his face. No matter what she would do, he would always be the guy who was willing to wait for her.

Giving him a grateful smile, Athena headed upstairs to take a quick bath. Vladimir, on the other hand, went out to buy breakfast for the two of them.

He was excited to share a al with her. He couldn’t contain his joy as a broad smile plastered on his handso face. Athena was his happy pill. She just brightened up his day.

Since Athena finally returned ho, Vladimir called his n, ordering them to stop the search. He even rewarded them with a bonus salary today, surprising everyone.

His n beca more anxious because this was the first ti their Big Boss beca generous to them. They kept thinking if this was just a dream or not.

"Eh? What happened to our Boss?"

"Is this our last pay? Is he firing us for our failure?"

"Damn. This doesn’t feel right. It’s so unusual for our Boss to do this? Are we going to be punished?"

"We must return the money! Or we can use it to run for our lives!"

Vladimir’s n kept talking to each other, guessing and speculating. Soon, Brandon, approached them as he overheard them talking about their Big Boss, Vladimir.

"Stop overthinking. I’ve talked to our Big Boss. He just seed to be in a good mood. Don’t give negative aning to his generosity. Just enjoy your bonus." Brandon inford them.

His comrades heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that. They thought Vladimir was going to punish them. But to their surprise, they received a reward.

*Twenty Minutes Later*

Athena stepped out of her room, feeling refreshed. She went downstairs, joining Vladimir in the dining area. He was preparing their breakfast, placing their plates on the table.

"Athena, co! Let’s eat!" Vladimir waved at her as soon as he noticed her presence. When she walked toward him, he pulled a chair for her. The two of them began eating their breakfast together.

Vladimir was stealing glances at her from ti to ti, his lips curling up into a faint smile. He just felt so happy, watching her. He was so relieved now.

’It feels so good to finally confess my feelings. She didn’t reject . She allowed to wait for her,’ Vladimir thought to himself.

"Hey, V. Stop staring at . You should eat. You haven’t touched your food yet." Athena pouted her lips as she complained. She caught him looking at her. His intense gaze partnered with his gorgeous smile made her feel conscious.

anwhile, Vladimir’s gaze fell on her tempting lips. ’Argh. Behave. Stop thinking about kissing her.’ He scolded himself inwardly. He was just tempted by the way she chewed on her lower lip. He gulped hard before focusing his attention back on his food.

"By the way, V, thank you for your help. Lanny and I are both grateful for your assistance. Because of that, she caught the culprit and found out the real mastermind for my accident." Athena grabbed this opportunity to thank him.

Vladimir smiled at her. "No need to thank . I’m glad that I was able to assist you. What are you going to do with lody Williams? She’s your cousin, right?"

Athena didn’t hesitate in telling him her plan. "I’ll use this incident to break her engagent with Oliver Jones. I have to stop the union between the Williams Family and the Jones Family."

Vladimir nodded in understanding. "Just let know if you need my help." He offered her once again.

Athena let out a soft giggle. Vladimir was so determined to join her in her revenge.

"Okay. Will I borrow one of your n? I need soone who will monitor lody’s movent. I’ll punish her at the right mont."

"Okay. I’ll assign Brandon to you. You can use him whenever you want. Just give him your order." Vladimir responded enthusiastically. He felt happy since Athena finally sought his help.

But there was still sothing he needed to clarify with Athena.

"Athena, can I ask you sothing?" Vladimir looked at her expectantly.

"Sure. What is it?" Athena watched him in puzzlent.

Vladimir took a deep breath and scratched his face before he spoke up. "Where did you sleep last night? Were you with a guy?"

Athena was taken aback when she heard his question. She knew that Vladimir was trying to verify sothing with her. This was related to Dominique. She could tell that Vladimir was still bothered by his conversation with Dominique.

Athena didn’t know how she would respond to that. She didn’t want to lie to Vladimir but she had no choice. She couldn’t tell him that she slept in her forr house with her ex-husband. This would surely break Vladimir’s heart.

"I visited the Golden Villa. It’s the house I gave to my brother Enzo just before I left York City five years ago," she said, trying her best not to show her guilt for not being honest with Vladimir.

"By the way, have you talked to my friend? He told he answered my phone. I left it in my... friend’s house... I picked it up there before returning ho today," she added.

"Yes. I talked to him. He said he was your boyfriend. I know he is lying... am I right?" Vladimir asked for her confirmation.

"Oh... he is lying. He is not my boyfriend. He is my gay friend. Maybe he just wanted to play pranks with you. He ant Boy Friend... a friend who is a boy." After saying that, Athena chuckled awkwardly.

Hearing her words, Vladimir didn’t ask further. Though he could feel that Athena was still hiding sothing from him, he chose to respect her privacy, not wanting to make her feel uncomfortable.
