AthenaOne of Sebastian's guards was quick to hand him his gun and he slowly made his way to my parents. Their eyes widened and I could see how afraid they were, it seemed like they were going to break apart in any of the next few seconds.The shaky movements of my mother's hands and her eyes taking a glance at the door told me something that had gone in her mind and she made my assumption come true when she took off to run to the doorway.Bang!The sound of the bullet being fired by Sebastian's gun was all that was heard throughout the entire hall before a blood-curdling scream broke through mom's throat. She fell to the ground, crying in pain and my eyes noticed the blood that gushed out of the wound on the back of her leg where the bullet penetrated in."It's gullible of you to think that any of you can get out of here alive," He chuckled, it was sinister, "Now decide which one of you wants to die first. I don't have the intention to waste much time on any of you, so make it fast."
AthenaMy tears were not willing to stop. The burning feeling in my heart did not recede even for the absolute smallest amount at its finest. The torments that they put me through when they were alive did not bother me as much as now, after their death.I felt so lost. As if there was a big weight hanging over my shoulder, trying to drag me into the ground and let me out again.They were dead but those memories weren't. My whole life all I saw got was pain and misery. Never, even for once, I got the chance to smile. It was debatable whether there had been any moments that I had, where I truly felt any sparks of happiness—Maybe, the first and last time was the day when I saw Sebastian for the first time before it all vanished into nothing.There was only one question I found myself asking to this date...Why me?Why it was me against the world? Why it was me who needed to go through all of this pain that broke me, left me so shattered that finding a way to mend myself once again was n
AthenaHe picked me up by my thighs and pressed me against the glass shower wall, the cool surface against my heated skin made goosebumps cover my entire body. He looked deep into my eyes, and his blue orbs pierced right through my soul, leaving a mark that might never fade. I slid my hand around his neck and used the other hand to grab onto his shoulder for balanceI felt drawn to him. Every fibre of my body wanted to drown in him, pull him close, look at him and notice every detail because I might not get the chance again to have him like this. So unguarded and calm, looking at me as if I was the first and last he'd ever look this way.He grabbed his thick shaft and shifted a bit away only so that he could press the tip of his cock against my entrance. A zap of shock exploded in my body and my lips parted. There was no pain today, he was not rushing anything. He was slow, gentle, and somewhat careful.He pressed his nose against my neck, before he slowly pushed inside his entire len
AthenaThe sound of familiar footsteps and, some shuffling noises was what woke me up from my doze. I rubbed my eyes to get rid of the drowsiness and slowly sat up holding the duvet around my body. My stare automatically moved to spot Sebastian who absentmindedly tucked in his midnight blue shirt and fixed his black tie before moving to grab his Rolex from one of the drawers of his watches.He looked as if he was in a hurry. Something did not seem right, he looked so restless as if he wanted to leave soon as he could. Was it because of what happened last night? This behaviour of his was absolutely contrary to my expectation.I grasped the duvet around my body and slowly got down from the bed, the cold tiles underneath my feet made a zap of shiver run up and down my body causing goosebumps to rake my skin. I was tired, and even though this was just the start of the morning, there was no energy within me whatsoever. Yet I gathered myself and walked towards him, his attention not even fo
AthenaI have walked into the kitchen for the first time since I was brought into this mansion, however, only to distract myself from the thoughts that only roamed around Sebastian. The encounter I had with him early this morning was still unnerving me in some manner and the last thing I wanted was to let the fear be alive within me once again.I prepared the cookie dough, my eyes absentmindedly focused on the scenery outside the window, it allowed me to look at the beautiful garden outside but that eye-catching view did not help me forget. I absentmindedly began drifting into the thoughts of Sebastian once again.Was it worth it to keep fighting or all of it was directing me to turn into a whole different person whose heart will be as cold as Sebastian's?No. I was not going to give up. What will giving up reward me? Nothing but regrets and a life that might be without pain but that wouldn't hold any meaning as well.There was nearly a pin-drop silence in the kitchen. No maids were
Athena"Mam, Alpha has sent these for you to wear tonight." A servant handed me a few bags before she got out of my sight. I curiously opened the bags and the first thing that caught my attention was the wine-red gown. My brows rose in surprise as I looked at the gown. It was stunning— The elegant V neckline, the stones, embroidery, laces and embellishments, complimented the beautiful dress, and the side slit cut skirt made the gown look even prettier. It was hard to take my eyes off the dress yet I managed to get myself to look at the other bags.As I opened the second bag, there was a blue velvety box. I took it in my hand and unlocked it. There was a beautiful ruby necklace and earring set. It could be said without needing to examine twice that this was worth more than a fortune.I moved to the next bag and there was a pair of lace-up ankle strap high heels. It screamed the same luxury as the other accessories.The fact that he spent so much for the sake of one party astonished me
AthenaThere was something strangely enchanting about Sebastian dressed in all black. He have worn a black suit, the jet black colour went way too good with his lightly tanned skin. The contrast hit differently. Even though he hadn't looked at me even for once since we got inside the car, I miserably failed to take my eyes off him. With his hair swept backwards and gorgeous features standing out under the faint light of the vehicle, He looked breathtaking in a way that could make anyone fall for him with just one single glance.How could someone be so beautiful and cruel at the same time?Sighing, I finally gathered the strength to look away and focused my gaze outside through the window. The ride to the venue was not too long, it took us around twelve minutes to reach the place.The car stopped in front of the gate of the hotel which looked less like a hotel and more like a palace. Sebastian was super wealthy, and of course, I had expected this party to be held somewhere fancy but t
AthenaI felt dizzy. Extremely dizzy and tipsy. However, I could not stop drinking. The more I watched that woman's hands around Sebastian, the more I saw them together, every cell of my body burned with rage.I'd only taken a few gulps from the bottles and it hadn't even been more than ten minutes. However, the effects of alcohol were not only strong but overpowering. I'd never consumed anything alcoholic, but even for a non-alcohol drinker, I could tell that this was not normal. Anyone in their right mind could notice the suspicious quick effects, and I did not fall behind in that category, but Alas! I simply was not in the state to care.The back of my head fucking hurt and my eyes were literally fighting to shut down but it was not clear whether it was because of the scene going in front of me or just another of these weird effects of this drink on me. Surely I was not in my right mind, but the only thing I knew at this moment was— I did not want to be here anymore. The air in th
