"Excuse me, are you Athena Weltons?" The police officer asked, approaching the scene.Athena looked at the two officers and inquired, "Yeah. What's the matter?""We'd just like to invite you for questioning regarding a car accident…" The officer explained and then proceeded to read Athena her Miranda rights while handcuffing her. Athena protested, claiming that the accusations were wrong. Elaine interjected, questioning the officers if they had any concrete evidence to support their claims against Athena. Steve and Miss Mylda stood by, feeling helpless as they watched the events unfold. As Athena was placed into the police car, Miss Mylda reassured her that Mr. Weltons had the best lawyer who would help her through this.Inside the station, Athena found herself seated at a table, her hands still bound by handcuffs. She glanced at her reflection in the rectangular mirror in front of her, her mind filled with confusion and disbelief about what was really happening in the situation. Jus
"Let me! " "Let me go! Right now!"Athena shouted, struggling against the firm grip of the two officers restraining her.Orion burst into the room, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "Athena! Why did you do this to us? Why did you target my family? Why not just me? I'm the one who has sinned against you!""F*ck you! End this bullshit accusation, Now! " Athena cursed him."Come on Officers. This is ridiculous. That crazy guy is the one who set this up! He also killed some innocent people in their hospital and sold their organs to rich people. He is the one who should be in my position. He's the real murderer. Why did you let him go? Take him now before he runs away." She added as she shifted her eyes between the two officers holding her. Orion wipes his fake tears as he stood still stoically, He didn't react nor did not a single word captured his emotions,.like an unshakable pillar during a storm of words.Athena turned her attention to Detective Carter, standing on the lef
"How could you do this to your own wife, Orion!" Elaine shouted as the officers grabbed her arms."You! Y'all! Don't ever believe any word coming out from that son of a bitch! He's deceiving you! " Her intensely gazed moving from the officers to Detective Carter."Elaine, stop! You're just making the situation worse. " A lawyer entered the room, and Miss Mylda followed.Elaine sighed. "Keep your hands off me, fools!" She forcefully removed her arms from them.Then she approached Athena, tears streaming from her left eye as she held Athena's handcuffed hands. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?""Hey, what the heck are you two thinking? Release her now! " she said to the officers who were still gripping Athena's arms."Goddamn it, I said release her!" Elaine insisted. Detective Carter allowed it, and the officers released Athena.Elaine wrapped her arms tightly around Athena. Her grip was firm as if she were trying to convey a message through the strength of her embrace. A single tear esc
Athena stepped out of the car and entered the hospital. Elaine and Miss Mylda followed her, each step at a little speed that recognized them in a hurry towards the elevator. Athena saw Steve sitting leaning forward on the chair while sipping a coffee near the door of the room as if Steve let his coffee swallow all his focus. Athena grabbed the door handle as she entered the room. Suddenly, Steve sensed someone standing beside him then he lifted his head up, and he saw the smiling face of Miss Mylda looking at him directly, he smiled back at her and lifted his coffee up in a little motion toward her, and Miss Mylda teased him, in saying, "It seems you got your trip to the others dimension. How are you able to protect your boss from crooks if you don't even notice someone entering the room Huh? " Steve leaned back before he pronounced his reason, "Oh, uh, um... I'm sorry, I didn't notice you standing there. I–I mean, I felt you there, but I knew it was you, so I let it be…Look, The sur
"Your Honor, we don't care what they're gonna say, because all the convicted criminals say it the same way to dress up their filthy hands, and that's how the evidence bulldozes all the nonsense reasoning. Your Honor, May I approach the bench?" The Prosecutor spoke up.The judge says the purpose of this initial appearance was to give rights to the defendant to know the charges and set bail. It is not the appropriate stage to present a full defense or argue the merits of the case, but the judge gave him a signal for his request. The prosecutor picked up the phone from the table, then walked closer to the bench and handed a phone to the judge, asking to play the audio recording that captured Athena's words for them. As they started listening to the audio recording, in the middle of it, Athena couldn't stop herself but to pronounce what her heart wanted to say: "It's a lie!"The judge commanded her to sit down and let them finish listening to the recording. In the last word of the audio,
After one week... Athena sat in the car, her head resting heavily on the wheel. Her left hand hung limply while holding her mobile phone. She glanced at it again and again, hoping it would ring or buzz with a message or a call from someone she was eager to hear from."Come on, please..."Instead of waiting for a call, she leaned back and decided to dial a number. It was as if her whole world was suspended at that moment, and everything hinged on that one phone call."Answer it... Answer it..."A single tear rolled down her cheek as she hoped that someone would pick up her call.Knock... Knock...Athena wiped her teary eyes with her hand, then she pressed the auto window button, and the glass door slowly opened. Miss Mylda stood outside, looking unsure of what to do, her fingers restless as she held her phone."I'm sorry, Athena, but Mr. Anderson is not answering my call, and neither is Miss Elaine... They're both unreachable." she said."No way..It happened again. '' Athena massages he
Athena's face was contorted with a mixture of emotions as the two guards held her arms tightly, their handcuffs causing some pain in her wrists. She glanced toward the guard posted at the door, trying to appear composed, but inside, her heart was racing, and her mind was flooded with thoughts as she scanned the hallway. The mechanical sound of the door echoed through the corridor, and she felt a faint vibration on the floor as the heavy metal door slowly opened. As they continued to walk forward, all the inmates and some guards stared at her with fierce gazes, making Athena feel as if their eyes were melting her body. The prison fell into a heavy silence as the guard guided her to her new cell.A dark-skinned woman with curly hair smiled as someone massaged her back while she sat on the bed."Welcome to the family, Miss Angel. " The woman said, standing up and offering her hand while making a gang welcoming sign. Athena's hand hesitated for a moment before magnetizing with her hand mot
"Keep your eyes off her," Alice said as she scrubbed her body with soap.Athena tried to avoid eye contact with the woman who was showering on the other side. She let the water drop cover her sight and even turned herself to the wall to avoid it, trying to escape the woman's piercing gaze that made her heart tremble.As she scrubbed her body with soap slowly, she suddenly sensed there were people behind her, slowly stepping towards her position. Her hands began to feel pressure, forcing her to move faster to clean herself in a hurry.Her mind couldn't handle the situation, and she turned around, grabbing a towel to cover herself in haste."Excuse me," she said, trying to catch her breath.The woman just smirked, her big body blocking Athena's way. Her three followers behind her were still smiling, looking directly at Athena."Are you done?" The woman said."I'm sorry, Queen, but we're done. " Alice said, also taking a white towel to cover herself."Who the f*ck asked you?" the woman sa
With each step she took, she couldn't help but wonder where she should go. She didn't care about the people casting judgmental glances at her bloodied appearance. No one dared to assist; instead, they distanced themselves.From a distance, she spotted officers approaching her location. She felt trapped, with a cop seemingly at every turn she took. Looking left and right, she found no escape route.Distress etched across her face, as she knew the cops were about to catch her.Suddenly, her attention was caught by a public toilet on the other side of the road, which makes her think it was a potential hiding place.She immediately quickened her pace, heading towards the public toilet in the park.As she hurried towards the area and prepared to cross the road, someone grabbed her right shoulder, causing her heart to race."Miss, are you okay? Do you need help?" a man inquired, his hand still on her shoulder."We'll get you to the hospital," a woman on the man's left chimed in. Athena look
Athena walks to the road, only the wind could enter her ears because of its silence.. suddenly she realized what she needed to do, she opened her bag then retrieved the phone on it, dialing Mr. Weltons's number, but there was no answer - the call was not reachable. Worried painting her expression as looks up at the sky waiting for an answer. In the distance, She spotted a car approaching. The color of the car was obscured by the brightness of its headlights, She felt the guts that she needed to run. She stepped back while hastily putting back her phone in the bag with a shaking hand, then she zipped it up... She spun around and ran, her steps kept increasing as she was wearing the bag on her back.Glancing over her shoulder, she noticed that the car was also picking up speed, chasing after her relentlessly.Her path swerved to the left. She wanted to run but her body lost much oxygen so she put her hand on the wall as support. She leaned forward and her chest heaving as she tried t
New York City::"Someone's watching us," Michael Hooks murmured, his lips close to Athena's right ear. He had spotted a man in a black suit sitting on the opposite side with his legs crossed, reading a newspaper a few poles away from them.Athena started to turn her head to the left to look at the man, but Michael stopped her, gently holding her cheeks to keep her facing him."Don't look, just focus on me." Michael advised."How close is he?" she whispered."Doesn't matter. We've gotta go. Just walk normally." Michael held onto Athena's right hand and guided her away, her bag slung over her left shoulder."The train will stop in two minutes. When I say run, run," he instructed, glancing at his watch."Where do you think you're going?" A man's voice came from behind them.The deep voice made them freeze. Athena looked at Michael with a mixture of fear and uncertainty.Michael let out a slight sigh, his gaze locking onto Athena's eyes."The train is still running, yet you two seem quite
They came to a stop on the road. The resonating sound of closing car doors filled the air. The feeling of fear still drew on Athena's face, evident in the way she scanned her surroundings. She turned in a clockwise motion, ensuring no police were present in the quiet place. Steve and Anderson also looked around, assessing their safety."Athena, let's go. The pilot is already there," Miss Mylda said, gently grasping Athena's arm from behind.Athena swiftly turned, her breath slightly uneven, her eyes widening."You okay?" Miss Mylda inquired."Uh... Yeah.""Let's go," Miss Mylda said, giving a slight pull on Athena's arm.They immediately set off toward the airfield. In a matter of minutes, they spotted the waiting jet in the distance. They paused for a moment, smiles gracing their faces.Anderson, Steve, and Miss Mylda hastened toward the jet. Athena's racing heartbeat began to calm as she gracefully seeing them running. Just as she was about to step towards the aircraft, someone grabb
Mr. Weltons called Miss Mylda to assist them in getting to the airport after he confirmed that the pilot was on the way.Miss Mylda's steps fell heavily as she hurried toward the room, holding the phone in her left hand. Her serious expression suggested that she had something important to tell.With a forceful rush, Miss Mylda opened the door and said, "The police are coming. You have to leave now."Her words sent a jolt through them. Athena's face furrowed, and she moved quickly toward Miss Mylda."Goddamn it... How did they find out we're here?" she asked."Did anyone see you coming here?" Miss Mylda inquired."No one except all of you in this room," Athena replied.The sound of sirens echoed outside, matching the rapid beats of their hearts."Damn it," Steve said as he ran toward the entrance hall."We don't have time to figure out who called the police. Let's go," Anderson said, moving closer to Athena and grabbing her left arm."Miss Mylda, help them out, I can handle this on my o
Anderson suggested that Athena should sit in the back seat before they entered the mansion to ensure her safety from the guard. As Athena was about to open the door, Anderson handed her a hooded jacket from the front seat. Athena entered the back seat and put it on. Anderson then stepped on the gas and drove to the entrance without hesitation. He handed his card to the guard and explained that he needed to speak with Mr. Weltons. Athena covered her face with the hood and hid behind the seat. The guard recognized Anderson and opened the gate. As they passed, Athena leaned backward."You know, I don't need to do that," Athena said."What?""To hide. I'm sure he can recognize me as Mr. Weltons' only daughter.""It's better to be careful.""Pull over right there.""It's quite far from the entrance hall," Anderson replied as he stopped."It's better to be careful." Athena insisted before getting out of the car."Okay, just as I said." Anderson followed her.Athena and Anderson entered the m
Anderson stopped for a moment, but he had no response to Athena. He continued to get a drink from the fridge, swallowing it in one go. Placing the drink on the table, he stood with his palms heavily resting on the glass surface. It seemed as if he was letting his thoughts take over, his eyes gazing into the distance with a deep sigh.As the evening descended, Anderson found himself with no choice but to accept the agreement to help Athena clear her name. Athena asked Anderson to accompany her to the mansion because she had a plan in mind that she believed would work.As they parked the car by the driveway and observed a police car parked near the entrance of the mansion, Anderson questioned Athena about her plan. She explained that she intended to seek revenge for herself."Wow…You escaped just to seek revenge?" Anderson asked, a grin forming on his lips as his right hand held the wheel while his left rested casually against the door."What else am I supposed to do? Let that freakin'
Athena took the opportunity to collect herself and calm down. She closed her eyes, trying to relax for a few minutes, but she was startled when the doctor touched her hand."Don't touch me, please!" She exclaimed, her hands trembling as she lifted them near her face, clearly terrified."Don't worry, I'm a doctor. I won't hurt you." The female doctor reassured, trying to touch Athena's hands gently."Stay away!" Athena shouted, her eyes wide with fear, pushing the doctor's hand away.The two guards outside heard the commotion and immediately entered the room."What's going on?"Athena was even more terrified now, hunching her body and clutching her robe as she heard the door open."Relax, officers. She's traumatized." the doctor said, gesturing for them to stop."Athena... I'm Dr. Halvey... I'm here to take care of you... Just calm down... Calm down.." The doctor spoke softly, stepping closer to Athena. But as soon as her hand touched Athena's, she lashed out and kicked, causing the doc
