Chapter 71 DOUBLE TAKE

ATHENA'S POINT OF VIEW

I take a deep breath. "In my case, I overcame jealousy by dealing with my insecurities first and learning how to trust Raphael. It wasn't easy but it's not that particularly hard because we're in a relationship and I have something to hold on. He's my boyfriend, so I have all the rights to get jealous and demand from him."

My brother avoided my gaze, probably because he already knew what I wanted to say.

"You need to get to the bottom of the reason why you're jealous. In my case, it was because I'm both afraid and insecure. I don't know about you," I said.

"On the other hand, my jealous phase had also a positive side."

He looked at me and arched a brow. "And that is?"

I shrugged. "Well, I realized how much I love Raphael. I was insecure of other women because I know some of them are better, consequently, I was afraid that Raphael might choose them over me. I was jealous because I'm afraid to lose him. I was jealous because I want him to be mine alone."
