Athena’s Spell: A Betrayal Between Shadows and Jealousy

Athena, a woman accustomed to conquering whoever she wanted, always managed to attract men with just a smile or an intense look. However, her world was shaken when she met Gabriel, a university student loyal to his girlfriend, Nieves. For Athena, the rejection was an unexpected blow, and her wounded pride awakened in her a desire for revenge. She decided to use dark methods to destabilize Gabriel and Nieves’ relationship, taking advantage of the magic she relied on to achieve her ends.

Athena devised a meticulous plan: she used her own sweat as an element of the spell and placed it above her name on a university group work list, on which the names of four classmates appeared: Samael, Gabriel, Lila and Athena. Upon seeing the list, Nieves felt a strange connection with Athena’s name. Jealousy began to consume her for no apparent reason. Soon, she became obsessed with the idea that Gabriel had hidden feelings for Athena, even though he swore to her over and over again that this was not true.

Every day, Nieves’ jealousy became more unbearable. She harassed Gabriel with questions and even began to investigate everything about Athena, as if unraveling her secrets could free her from the anguish she felt. In her desperation, she even threatened to kill Athena if she ever discovered an infidelity. Gabriel, unable to understand the intensity of Nieves’ reaction and knowing that he was faithful, tried to calm her down and postponed a breakup to prevent the situation from getting worse.

But Athena’s spell took effect; Gabriel, amidst the constant tension, began to see Athena in an idealized way, attracted by her mystery. The relationship between Gabriel and Nieves finally collapsed, and he found himself alone, vulnerable and captivated by the image that Athena had cultivated in his mind.
Ultimately, Athena took her revenge in the most calculated way possible. She took advantage of Gabriel’s emotional state to make him believe she shared his attraction, only to later accuse him of harassment and spread rumors about his mental stability. Gabriel was left isolated and discredited, with a destroyed reputation that he carried for years.

It was over twenty years until Gabriel, reflecting on past events, understood the truth behind Athena’s malice and the spell that had affected his life. Now, with clarity and new strength, he set out to pay Athena back for what she had done to him, seeking justice for the deep wounds he had suffered in his youth.
