Crushed Pride

Fiona, who had lifted her head after Athena's sarcastic laugh, opened her mouth to contradict Athena's words, but Sandro shut her up with a glare. 

She turned to Ewan, seeking for solidarity. 

It was then she saw the sorry state of her fiancé. 

How hadn't she noticed?

She had heard him implore Athena to tell her truth, yet she had been so concentrated on maintaining her own 'truth' that she hadn't looked at him.

She hurried up to him now, but Ewan raised his hand, stopping her from getting closer to him. 

"Is she telling the truth?" 

Fiona hesitated, wondering how fast things had deteriorated. 

"No, she is lying…" She vehemently denied.

She glared at Athena for a second, before returning her attention to Ewan.

"There is CCTV to check…" Sandro piped in then, causing Fiona's mouth to quiver, causing her eyes to water with frustration.
