It has been a month, Albert is getting better and better every day. So he decided it was time to go back to Country P due to his responsibilities as President of the country.“Dad, are you sure you will be okay alone out there? I can go with you.” Austin asked worriedly.“I’m fine, son. Athena needs you here more than I do.” Albert smiled reassuringly.“But Dad… Maxime, Doc Stephen, and Marcus are here. I think I’m going to be okay.” Athena said.“You may need Austin with you. I’m really okay, Dad.” Athena smiled reassuringly.“No, it’s okay, my Princess. Your brother will stay here.” He looked at Austin in a stern look. “Do
After Ethan's confrontation with the president earlier, he went to the bar alone, trying to drown his anger. He couldn’t believe what the president had told him. ‘How is it possible? Amnesia? How did she get it? If only I could see her… Where did they hide you, Athena? What happened to you? Who made you lose the baby? Who hurt you?’ He wondered.He was at the bar drinking to digest what he had found out earlier. He was drinking whiskey when someone accidentally bumped into him, causing his liquor to spill, staining his suit.“Oh, I’m sorry. I apologize. I did not notice there was someone there.” The guy said while bowing his head to apologize since
‘Ethan Reed… Where did I hear that name before?’ Athena wondered.When Maxime saw the news on TV, the glass she was holding slipped from her hands and fell to the floor, which caught Athena's and Marcus’ attention.“Maxime, are you okay?” Athena asked worriedly. Marcus hurried and help Maxime pick up the broken pieces of glass.“I’m sorry. It accidentally slipped.” Maxime said apologetically.“I’ll pick it up. You might get hurt.” Marcus said as he held her hands to stop her from picking up the broken glass.“Oh,” she muttered in shock, surprised that he held her hand. “I-I’ll go get a broom and a dustpan.” She stood up and
“Do you like my sister?” Austin asked seriously.With that, Maxime reacted and gasped in surprise. “You like Athena?!”They all went silent for a second before Stephen answered.“Yes, I like her. That is why I don’t want to keep secrets from her. I want her to know her past…” He answered seriously.“You don’t know what you are saying. If you like her… Don’t let her memories come back. Or you might regret it.”“I am willing to accept everything that she has gone through. We all know she lost her baby, and if we are going to be in a relationship, I want her to reconcile with it, so she doesn’t have any regrets. I just don’t want to
“Hey, Maxime! Are you mad at me? I’m sorry if I offended you. I just wanted to make you laugh, but I didn’t know you’d get mad at my jokes.” Marcus apologized.Earlier, he tried to make jokes because he noticed Maxime was in a grumpy mood, earlier. Marcus threw punch lines.“My therapist and I have been trying to figure out why I seem to have lost my mind… Then I realized that it’s all your fault.” He said.“What?” Maxime asked with a frown.“Because I’m crazy for you.” Maxime hissed and walked out without saying anything. Little did he know, Maxime did not get offended by what he said. Instead, she was mad because she guessed Austin would go out with Dr. Smith, and she was correct. “Look, Marcus… I’m not mad at you, okay? So, don’t get bothered. I am not that easy to get mad… Besides, you’re not the reason I am upset.” Maxime said. ‘It’s that flirty doctor. She’s such a tramp.’ Maxime wanted to say it loud but decided to keep it to herself since she had no
Due to her embarrassment, Maxime ran to an empty guest room in a hurry. She didn’t care where she was as long as she could hide. “What was that?” Athena narrowed her eyes towards her brother suspiciously, but instead of answering her, Austin shrugged and left the scene with a smug look on his face as he saw Marcus close to where they were standing, a pained look on his face. “Do you want me to bring you to Maxime?” Stephen asked. He was worried that Athena may need something later, and nobody would be there to help her. She shook her head. “No, it’s okay. Let’s wait until she’s ready. I don’t want her to feel more embarrassed.” Athena said. ‘If that happened to me, I would have felt embarrassed too, and I wouldn’t come out of my room the whole day.’
FIVE YEARS LATER…“Athena, are you ready?” Maxime asked as she opened the door of Athena’s room.Athena was wearing a nude-colored deep v-cut flowy styled sleeveless long dress embroidered with Swarovski crystals. This gown emphasized her glowing skin and the perfect shape of her body. They fashioned her hair into a french bun with loose wavy strands to frame her delicate face.“Wow, Athena… You look stunning tonight.” She said, with her mouth agape.“Thank you. You too, you look beautiful.” Athena smiled at her.Smiling, Maxime was wearing a black tea-length dress, caressing her small baby bump. She was five months pregnant with her first baby. “Thank you, and this baby is growing… I can’t hide her any longer.” They both chuckled. “I can’t wait to see your boyfriend’s reaction when he sees how beautiful his girlfriend is. He probably won’t be able to take his eyes off of you.” Maxime giggled.Athena smiled and said, “His eyes should only be on me, or el
While Ethan was at Country P, he found out that Austin's hospital in country Y will be hosting a charity event. He knew that Austin would show up and if he followed Austin it could lead him to finding Athena.Since he wasn't invited by the Morris', he asked one of the elite families attending the event to give him their invitation, trading it for a million dollars.He flew to country Y the same day and went directly to the said event. Because of his scandalous behavior the previous years he has been hiding from the press, and since he didn’t want to be recognized he sneaked into the event unnoticed. Upon his arrival, the whole place was abuzz with news of who’s going to be here and he was constantly hearing rumors about a well-known doctor and his date. When he heard it was Athena Morris, his ears tingled as he quickly scanned for her inside the ballroom. Knowing she was in the same room made him eager to see and confront her.He often thought about Athena and could
