While they were walking out of the restaurant where they had eaten, Zeus was carrying Astraea's favorite food that she had ordered and taken out because she knew that their daughter would be asking for a snack later when they returned home."Thank you for coming, Mr. Herrera. I hope you enjoy our food, "said a staff member at the door of the restaurant."Yeah, we enjoyed it. Please just tell Mr. De Leon that I can't wait for him." "Zeus said without a smile on his lips."It's very delicious." She smiled at the staff.She was suddenly stunned when Zeus gave her a kiss on the lips right in front of the staff when she smiled at him. "Of course you enjoyed it; our lunch was delicious because I was with you and I even fed you."She would have punched Zeus when she remembered that they were in front of a lot of people. So she just put down her hands and clenched her fist.His lips raised, and their was smugness on his face. "You can't punch me?"She gave rolled her eyes and walked ahead to

Zeus wasn't acting normal after the day they saw Clark. It's been a few days, but he's still restless. It's like he's so afraid that something bad will happen to them. To herWhen she was leaving, Zeus should have accompanied her, but not until he had a sudden business trip and he was going to stay in Spain for a month. She thought that she would go out freely without any bodyguard, but Zeus asked his friends to watch over her. She was confused because Zeus had only said goodbye to her on the cellphone.And what's more surprising is that Zeus also bought her a bullet-proof car. As the days pass by, she notices that there are bodyguards outside their house as well as at her workplace and at Astraea's school.At first, she didn't agree with that kind of setup because it doesn't feel good to have someone following and watching over her. But Zeus was persistent and said they wouldn't know if something bad happened without them knowing. But Zeus assured her that the bodyguards wouldn't sho

She was stunned to see Zeus. How come Zeus is in front of her when he is in Spain? It is very impossible that he would be right away in New Jersey as soon as Ryke told him the news.Her eyes were full of confusion as she looked at Zeus. Earlier, she was just praying and hoping that Zeus would come and be there by her side. And the Lord heard her prayer. But she is still confused and full of questions in her mind."Love..." She pressed her lips together as tears filled her eyes. "It hurts.""Freya." Zeus took a few steps between the two of them and then hugged her carefully. "You made me worry too much."She sobbed. "My wound hurts Zeus."Zeus released her from the embrace and carefully held her hand and examined the bandaged wound as well as the one on her leg.Then Zeus embraced her again as he caressed her back. "Don't cry anymore." He kissed her on the side of her forehead. "I don't want you to cry.""Why are you here?" She asked, still while trying to calm herself. "I mean, aren't

"I'm really sorry." Zeus dried the tears on her cheeks. "I'm sorry for making you cry—""And for making my head spin, for confusing the hell out of me." She cut him off.Zeus just looked down, unable to look directly at her as he bit his lip and scolded her."You don't know that I'll stay up all night wondering what's really going on. I'm also wondering if you're okay. I was confused when you said your goodbyes over the phone, so not you, "she pointed at Zeus's chest. "You know what, maybe I should leave you again for making me..."Zeus leaned in and locked his lips on hers, silencing her.Freya couldn't help but kiss Zeus back. And just like that, her anger melted in an instant.She closed her eyes and savored his soft lips on hers. The movement is light and sweet. His kiss seemed tender, and she responded with all her heart.And when their lips parted, she and Zeus stared at each other. His eyes were full of admiration while Zeus looked at her lovingly."What?" She asked in a whispe

It's been a week since she was discharged from the hospital. Who wouldn't feel better if Zeus took care of her? He didn't let her move around; he didn't even let her go to work.But to surprise her more, her mother visits her when she finds out that she has had an accident. But she didn't let her mom see her. She has no idea why her mother is aware of her accident; perhaps someone told her? But who said it to her?She wonders if her mother told the Herreras that she was her daughter. Maybe not because Zeus didn't say anything to her either, as well as the family member who lives in the mansion.And in the days that passed, Zeus did not let her out of the house without his protection and a lot of bodyguards. The mansion was heavily guarded by Zeus, who installed CCTV in different parts of the house. Zeus even made all of the windows bulletproof.Freya's eyebrows meet as she looks at the car parked in front of the house that her father bequeathed to her. She was in their old mansion to

The person behind the attack on them has already been jailed because of the incident that happened in their house that many people saw, so it was easy for them to put the mastermind behind bars who planned to kidnap her. She didn't know why the case was running so quickly.Probably Zeus did something to make it quick. He has a connection after all. But Zeus still didn't let his guard down. They still have guards, but not as strict as before.Even with all that happened, she still hasn't forgotten what Jenifer told her about her mother. She needed to know the truth, so she immediately made an appointment with her mother's secretary to talk to her.But when Zeus found out that she was going to leave the house again, he did not agree, so she had no choice but to tell him about her talk with Jennifer. She didn't know why she saw a strange emotion in Zeus's eyes when she told him that she was not really an Ilustre.Confusion, guilt, and regret were the dominant emotions of Zeus in that mom

"Amore."Freya was startled to hear the baritone voice of Zeus. She immediately turned to the man who was walking towards her."Are you feeling okay?" Zeus asked, sitting next to her and caressing her cheek. His face was full of concern. "I was worried about you. God! I feel like I'm going crazy waiting outside. It's a good thing Kyla said you're okay. "She smiled. It looks like Kyla didn't really tell Zeus about her pregnancy. She felt a little guilty because she was lying to him again."But you won't hide your pregnancy from him for long. You just need time," said a small voice in her mind. She couldn't look Zeus in the eyes. "I'm fine. I just need some rest. "Zeus kissed her temple. "Then rest. I don't want to see you in that state anymore. You scared the shit out of me. I thought you were shot. "Zeus doesn't know why she bleeds. So that means her secret would be safe if she and Kyla wouldn't tell anyone about it.God! Am I a bad woman for lying to Zeus?She looked back at Zeus

Claire ran up to them and immediately hugged Zeus, who didn't even seem to know that Claire had arrived. And it was obvious from the woman's face that she was happy to see Zeus again.She felt her chest tighten. So she took a deep breath to calm herself, but she still felt pain in her heart by seeing the two still hugging.She looked at Astraea, and the confusion on her face was obvious. So she immediately bent down to whisper to her. "She's your daddy's friend."She heard what Astraea said. "Oh." She doesn't want to lie to her daughter, but that's the best thing to do so she doesn't get hurt."I miss you so much." Claire said and pulled away from Zeus' embrace."What are you doing here?" Zeus asked without any emotion in his eyes. and also in his voice that sent shivers down her spine."Son, why didn't you say Claire was coming home? So that we picked her up, "said Mrs. Herrera with a small smile.But she still saw an emotion in Mrs. Herrera's eyes, but she just couldn't name it."

She still couldn't forget how her father shot her mother, Riza.If her brother didn't bring her to the psychologist, she wouldn't move forward because every night she would have a nightmare, and that is how her father killed her mama.

(FLASHBACK)She was 11 years old when her mother left; that day was the beginning of her father's evil. Her father would hurt her or say something hurtful. At first, she doesn't get why her father can do such things to her when, in fact, she loves her so much, but as time goes by, everything slowly makes sense: her father hates her because she is a carbon copy of her mother, which makes her father remember her mother.One day, after her father hurt her by lashing a belt on her, she went to the basement to hide, but little did she know that there was a lady there.

"You don't mean that," Claire said, her eyes begging. "What about me? I'm your wife, Zeus; you can't do this to me, no!""Just go, Claire; we already talked about this, and my decision is final!""Zeus, please, I'm willing to do anything; just don't do this.""Just go!" "No!" Claire stands up, gets the vase, and throws it at Zeus; lucky for him, he dodges it. "I won't let you leave me; I will tell Freya everything; let's see if she will still love you," Claire said, laughing evilly."Don't try me, Claire; you know that I know something too that will be the cause of your downfall; your power, money, and connection—all that you have—will vanish if you mess with me." Zeus threatened, and from where she was standing, she saw that Claire's expression changed. "One call, and everything for you is over."Freya was curious about what Zeus knew. Is it Claire's best secret?"No! You can't do that to me; you know that my father is powerful; with just one flick of my hand, my father would be wil

As she was ascending the stairs, she was calling Zeus' secretary. She was trying her luck, hoping that maybe his secretary knew where Zeus was.When she reached the parking lot, she immediately opened her car and put the seatbelt on. She was getting annoyed because Zeus' secretary was not answering. She wanted to scream and pull her hair out of her head, but she reminded herself that it wasn't time to be rational. She put her phone on the dashboard of her car, then took a deep breath to calm her mind, which wanted to explode. When she was about to start the car, she heard Beth talk."Are you sure you'll be okay? Don't you want us to come with you?" She can feel that Beth was just concerned with her."I got this; I am Freya Elise Illuste.

"Freya..." Beth rubbed her back. "Stop crying already... shh.... Don't cry."She bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. "I can't stop crying because the pain won't stop eating my heart."Selene took a deep breath, then cupped her face and stared at her seriously. "Listen to me. Freya." She dried the tears on her cheeks. "This video hurts, we know. We can see that you are hurting right now. But don't you think you're overreacting? "Her eyes were sharp. "You think I want to be hurt like this, huh?" She couldn't stop herself from raising her voice. "How could you possibly think that—""That's not what I meant." Selene interrupted what she was going to say. "I know you don't want to get hurt. We know you avoid it. I'm saying this because I know that Bitch is a cunning woman. She's just doing this to hurt you," Selene pointed out. "What I'm saying is that the video was not true. I know my brother. She wouldn't kiss a hyena. Gross " Selene pulled a face then rolled her eyes. "Hav
