His Mistress is His Ex-Wife
Chapter 280: Confession

Chapter 280: Confession

After Dominique passed out last night, Sasha rushed him to the hospital. It turned out he collapsed due to fatigue and exhaustion. He hadn’t been feeling well lately and his mind was always preoccupied by things related to Athena.

Sasha watched over her husband all night. She only fell asleep at dawn. But the moment she woke up in the morning, she was greeted by shocking news.

Sasha’s eyes were fixed on her phone screen, her fingers tightly gripping her phone.

’What the hell is this? Athena and my husband?’ Sasha couldn’t believe her eyes.

The woman whom she considered a friend happened to be her husband’s mistress!

"No! This can’t be!" Sasha shook her head frantically, disbelief written on her face.

"Athena is Ashton’s girlfriend. She can’t be Dominique’s mistress," she murmured, convincing herself.

Without further ado, she dialed Athena’s number. However, no one answered the call.

"For goodness’ sake, answer my call, Athena!" Sasha cussed under her breath. She needed to know the truth and confront her.

She dialed her number over and over again until Athena finally answered her phone.

"Hello, Sasha?" She calmly asked her.

"Where are you, Athena? We need to talk!" Sasha tried her best to keep her cool.

"I’m with Ashton right now. You can come to his place if you want to talk to me." Athena sounded as if she weren’t caught cheating.

Sasha felt relieved for a moment. It looked like there might be a misunderstanding here. ’I hope this is just fake news.’

"Okay. I’ll go there."

Sasha ended the call right away. She looked at Dominique’s sleeping figure one last time before she left the private ward.

Meanwhile, Athena and Ashton were standing on his place’s balcony. Although Lanny reminded her to stay in the house, she still went out to meet Ashton.

"Athena, I’m willing to listen to your explanation. I’m not mad. I think those pictures are deliberately posted to ruin your image. They are people jealous of your fame." Ashton chose to believe Athena. He tried to understand the situation.

Athena smiled faintly. "That’s why I’m here."

Meeting Ashton’s gaze, Athena confessed. "The truth is... I’m indeed Dominique’s mistress. The only reason I accepted you as my boyfriend is to cover up our secret affair. With that, Sasha won’t suspect us."

Ashton was dumbfounded upon hearing her honest confession. Athena just dropped a huge bomb in front of him and he didn’t know how he would react.

He felt betrayed. It seemed to him Athena just used him as a mere tool. She lied to him.

"Why? Why did you do that?" Ashton asked her in disbelief.

He had never expected that Athena would be able to do this.

"Sasha treated you as a friend." There was a hint of accusation in his tone.

But instead of feeling guilty, Athena just let out a soft chuckle.

"Don’t be a hypocrite, Ashton. You don’t have the right to question me or get mad at me. I know you love Sasha. And you even slept with her... in their house."

"You and Sasha also betrayed Dominique."

Ashton was utterly shocked. ’So she knew what happened between Sasha and me.’

Ashton narrowed his eyes on her, anger and frustration surging up in his heart.

"What is your purpose for doing this?" Ashton asked her, grabbing her shoulders tightly. Then he shook her body, out of anger.

Athena’s expression turned ashen. She immediately pushed Ashton away from her.

"You don’t have the right to hurt me, Ashton. Don’t play a victim here, because you are not." Athena spat back at him.

"Do you think you are a good man?" Athena chuckled, mocking him.

"Have you forgotten Sabrina Williams?"

Ashton frowned in confusion at the mention of Sabrina’s name.

"What does it have to do with Sabrina?" Ashton asked her.

Athena sneered at him. "Well. You think you are innocent. But you are one of the reasons she died."

"What do you mean?"

"You knew all along that Sasha and Dominique were cheating on her. But you just tolerated it, turning a blind eye. Now, do you feel the same pain of being betrayed?"

Ashton was at a loss for words. He couldn’t refute that.

’Why? How did she know Sabrina’s story?’ he pondered to himself.

"What is your relationship with Sabrina?" Ashton’s eyes were filled with intrigue.

Athena giggled once more, there was no sign of remorse in her eyes.

"Sabrina’s brother, Enzo is my close friend. That’s my connection with her." Athena didn’t reveal her identity as Sabrina Williams. Everyone should think that Sabrina was gone and she would never come back.

Ashton was having conflicting thoughts right now.

"Did you deliberately seduce Dominique to avenge Sabrina?"

"Bingo!" Athena promptly replied. She didn’t deny it. "Yes. It was so fun playing with the three of you. You both deserve this."

"Oh, and one more thing, Ashton. Your best friend’s wife is not faithful to Dominique as well. She cheated on him several times with Timothy!"

Ashton’s face turned pale and his body froze upon hearing that. He already had suspicion before. He saw Sasha entering Timothy’s place before. How did Athena learn about this?

They were still talking when suddenly Sasha showed up. She strode toward them with hurried footsteps.

"Athena!" She called her.

Upon reaching her spot, Sasha immediately grabbed her hands and asked, "Tell me, the photos are fake. They’re just trying to defame you! Am I right? You and Dominique aren’t having a secret affair, are you?"

Sasha looked at her expectantly, waiting for her response.

Ashton could only clench his fists as he watched the two ladies. ’Will she admit this to Sasha?’

It did not take long before Athena nodded in response, eyeing Sasha meaningfully.

"What is the meaning of that nod?" Sasha asked her confusedly. "Are you having an affair with my husband or not?"

Sasha was still hoping Athena would deny the accusation. She wanted to hear reassurance from her.

But Athena wouldn’t give her the answer she wanted to hear.

"Since you are my friend, I will be honest with you." Athena paused for a moment, grinning broadly.

"Yes, Sasha. I am having an affair with your husband. Dominique and I cheated on you. That’s the truth. The photos are real. I met him last night at the Golden Villa. That villa is our secret love den."

Sasha: "..."
