--Athena’s POV--"H-how…" I couldn’t continue my words.My father opened his arms to welcome me. I ran to him and couldn’t contain my feelings. I hugged him back. Tears clouded my eyes, and I wiped them immediately before my father could see them."I don’t know how it happened. But I guess the gods have heard your sufferings. " He touched the tip of my nose.My insides break apart. I sighed and held his hand."You’ll get the help you need. I know this is temporary, but we still need to prove to everybody you’re not guilty. " I caressed his wrist.He smiled heartily. "I don’t want to waste more time in this world. I want to spend the rest of my time with you. I want to make it up to you. "I couldn’t hold it anymore. Tears fell from my eyes as I hugged him. I couldn’t believe this was happening. Why in the hell would this world grant me this kind of feeling just now? Just now, when my father’s life is not getting any longer."W-what happened? Who came to bail you out? Your case is not
I stormed out and didn’t even mind them. I saw Knight looking so stoned because of what he saw. Right? Who would have thought of seeing their ex in his penthouse?My tears clouded my eyes as I rushed to the common lift that the building had. It seems like I’m trying to control my emotions so that my tears won’t fall. I even bumped into someone when I got out of the lift. I rushed to the lobby, straight to the front door, and came down to my car that was parked.I didn’t know where I was going. But I just wanted to escape.The crowded place welcomed me. The place I usually call my workplace seems so foreign to me. Considering the last time I attended a party and a tragedy happened, it is still traumatizing for me.But I had no choice; neither the silence would give me peace. This war that I’m feeling inside me is unbearable. I need a huge distraction.Before I got out of the car, I rummaged through my things and got the medicine prescribed for me. With shaking hands, I took a pill and
His kisses are longing. Without any words, I understood what he wanted to say. The fact that he kissed another woman tonight didn’t even bother me. I just knew that I wanted him here, and I wanted to do all these things with him.We ended up on my bed. Yes, we came to my unit. He asked me awhile ago where I wanted to go, and I suggested here. I thought of his place as well, but the memory of him kissing that woman made me suggest my place.As soon as my unit opened, he removed my top and pinned me to my door."Is anyone here?" He asked in between our kisses."No, Erin’s at the hospital." I answered while reaching for the hem of his shirt.He attacked me with deep yet gentle kisses. I encircled my legs around his waist, still not stopping our heated kiss. He supported my back as he walked, going in the direction of the guest room where Erin was staying.I stopped kissing him."No, that’s my room." I pointed to the other door.He smirked, and I giggled. He kissed me again and proceeded
I woke up to find his presence beside me. I was half asleep when I heard silent groans, and at first, I thought it was just a dream because it seemed like the sound was coming from the underground.But when I opened my eyes fully, I realized that it was coming from my bathroom. The lights were off. I opened the lamp at my bedside and stood up. I was already wearing new underwear.I didn’t bother to wrap myself with new clothes. I rushed into the door of my bathroom and listened to it."Knight?" I called him.I only heard groaning. My brows met each other’s."Knight, is everything okay?" I asked again.This scene reminded me of the scene that had happened before. We were way back in the restaurant when we had to call for the keys. It was the same thing. I couldn’t help but worry, thinking about that.I knocked on the door consistently. I heard the shower open and his groaning stopped again. I didn’t think twice. I used my long nail to turn the accessible lock of the door and it opened.
In life, it’s not just about a happy ending."Why did you choose to go here?" he asked me.I just smiled as I watched the vast paddy field outside. I miss this.Honestly, I didn't even know what to say to him. Was it because I preferred the tranquillity of the countryside to the hectic pace of city life?Or was it the memory that we had together way back?I held out my hand to feel the breeze. Damn, it feels like I’m in a movie. I’m at my happiest place, with the man I love driving beside me. I couldn’t ask for more."Because I want to make new memories." I said, smiling.I turned to him and saw the ghostly smile peeking out of his lips. He reached for my thigh and gently stroked it. I also smiled and looked at his hand when I suddenly realized something."Is your wound healed?" I asked in surprise because I didn’t see a cast on his wrist.His jaw hardened as he glanced at his wrist as well. He was about to remove it, but I held it to scan his wrist."Is this the injured hand? Why does
It was a great first day and night for the two of us. The next day, I became more anxious and confused as I prepared my surprise for him. I was busy calling the people involved.I escaped a call when Knight was in the shower."Are you sure you’re all set? Please don’t forget your medicine. Please.""Don’t think about me and don’t worry about me, honey. This is the day of the man you love. Thank you for including me in your celebration. "I smiled. "Dad, I want you to meet him as well. I want to get your blessing for us. ""You're going to make me cry, Athena."I got a bit emotional as well as we talked on the phone. I repeatedly reminded Dad on the call. I know I left it to Erin, but I still want Dad to be hands-on. Yes, I invited them. Even Milo and Peter. I talked to Lucas, and besides him and Amos, I don’t think there are other people who’s important to him."Alright, don’t worry about us, Athena. I’ll look after your father. " said Erin."Thank you, Erin.""Lucas said we’d arrive
"You look great, ma’am!"I looked at myself in the mirror. I briefly informed Knight that I was leaving. Actually, I left him because he’s kind of busy with some of his work as well. We have been here for almost a week. The other people also went home earlier yesterday. Amos stayed here in the rural while Lucas took Erin home again.Now I had time to tour other places. I just said goodbye to Knight and I just bought something, but I saw this parlor, so I thought of getting a haircut. I cut my hair shorter. It used to be long and beautiful every time I curled it, but now it's only up to my shoulder. There were curtain bangs, and it made my eyes stand out.I don’t know. I feel like I need a little change in myself now that I’m starting anew. I didn’t even think about whether Knight would like it. I just want to change something about myself.Life is good here. I like it because it's simple and not grand. Not chaotic and quiet. The people are not so busy, unlike in the city where there a
They left me after I had an episode of my panic attacks without me getting any relief or medication. I remember I started trembling as soon as he touched me. I gasp for breath.His evil and cold eyes are piercing into me and he seems to be having fun seeing me that way."Meshka! What are you doing? " Ulva came to him.He stood up. "Seems like this chosen human is dealing with the usual worldly, dumb, and weak human capability. "Ulva looked at me worried. She came to me and held my back. I backed away again because I didn’t want to be touched by her."What is wrong? Are you okay? "I was panting and trying to say ‘stay away’. I don’t want to buy her antics. I don’t know who these people are, so any show of concern I can’t believe. Especially with her."Leave her and bring Thomas to me. We’ll prepare for our unwanted guest who will arrive anytime now." The ‘Meshka’ one said before coming out.Ulva was left with a worried expression. She tried to touch me again, but I pushed her hand aw
