ATHENAMy heart had still not stopped beating frantically from the moment I stepped into the car. I kept on thinking about everything that had happened and what was going to happen. I had still not yet figured out what I was going to say and the time of reckoning was drawing closer and closer. Every time my eyes locked with Rafael’s mom’s, she shot me a smile and a look of reassurance, as if telling me everything will be alright without actually saying any words.I understood that she was trying her best to calm me down but nothing seemed to be working at that very moment. I hadn’t seen that bastard in months ever since he got married and now I was just going to show up at his doorstep with a baby in my belly. It was definitely going to be weird and I had no idea how he was going to take it.So many scenarios were running through my head as I sat in the car, tapping onto my knees, rhythmically. It was a method that I had developed many years ago in order to calm myself down when I was

RAFAELThere I sat, packed outside the building which I had just seen Athena walk into. I still couldn’t see who was in the driver’s seat of the car but whoever it was, the person was definitely in a lot of trouble. I had given very clear instructions that she was not to be let out of the house. I had made myself very clear on the matter and I definitely did not expect that anybody would go against my orders.None of what I was witnessing made sense to me, as I sat in the car trying to decode everything. I had followed the car when I saw Athena in it and all through the car ride, my mind kept on trying to decode where she was going to and what was going on but I couldn’t think of anything absolute. Everything I thought kept on pointing to one thing and I didn’t want to believe it. I didn’t want to believe that she could possibly betray me and still be taking her father’s side, especially after everything that she had heard and seen.From the looks of things, it seemed like I was wrong

ATHENAThe shock was very evident on my face as I stood there, trying my best to comprehend what I was witnessing. I had seen everything unfold before my very eyes but I still couldn’t believe it. It had all happened so fast and I didn’t even have time to react to anything that was being done. I just stood there with my hands over my mouth in complete shock. Rafael was on top of Justin and was furiously pounding down on him like his life depended on it. It was obvious to me that if this continued then Justin was going to die.Out of my subconscious, I could hear screams of panic and worry but I was not sure exactly where they were coming from. Were they coming from me? Oh my God, I was the one actually screaming my lungs out, as I tried to call attention to the scene that was going on. The neighborhood where the apartment was in was very quiet and serene which was why I had chosen it for me and Justin in the first place. There were not many neighbors and no one was really walking arou

“What the fuck are you doing in my room?” Hernandez asked, as he walked into the room.He was just returning from his meeting with Rafael and right off the bat, he had figured out that his door had been messed with. He had a security system of his own in place; a piece of paper which he lodged at the top of the door. It was very easy to miss for anybody who was not looking out for it but then it made him know if someone had been in his room or not. He had not needed to do this before, but ever since he listened to the conversation between Rachael and Rafael where she suspected he was the mole, he had decided to take more precautionary steps in his dealings.Rafael was not the problem since he knew that he trusted him beyond a doubt. The major problem, the thorn in his life was Rachael and he still had not figured out a way to get her out of the picture. He had half suspected it was her that had made her way into the room but then he was shocked to still find her inside the room when h

RAFAEL“What were you even doing there?” My mother asked me as I watched Athena head upstairs to her room. All through the car ride to the house, I kept on thinking about what I had just done and how it would affect everyone. I was not sure what had come over me and I thought my days of losing control were past me by now but apparently, they weren’t. When I had seen him lift his hands to strike her, I had been filled with such hate that it threatened to drown me. I was reacting to his actions but then it was obvious even to me that I took things a step too far.From the faces of everyone who was present there, it was obvious that I had made a grave mistake. I had seen some passersby come try to take pictures and even make videos. I had no idea if they had succeeded but at that moment it was the last thing on my mind. There was this unexplainable need to protect Athena at all costs. I could not explain it but then it felt like I was not in full control of myself. That beast which I had

It was the dead of night now and there was a slight knock on Athena’s door. She had been fast asleep but then the knock woke her up slightly. She was not sure if she had heard right or if she was still sleeping. She looked around the room as she realized she was all alone. Rafael’s mother was nowhere in sight and she had been around before she slept. Athena could not even remember when she had slept and how she had ended up in bed, all she knew was that her heart was still heavy from what had happened that afternoon. She looked around as she tried to figure out what the time was and that was when she heard another knock on the door. It was louder than the previous one and that was when she realized she had not dreamt it.The knocks kept getting more and more frequent and she wondered who was at her door by this hour of the night. She got up from bed and made her way to the door but then she didn’t open it. There was a faint idea in her head on who it was but then she needed to confirm

ATHENAI opened my eyes to the rays of sunlight gradually coming in from the slightly opened window. I had not realized it was already morning which surprised me because I had not actually been asleep. Sleeping had proven to be quite a luxury that seemed to erode me a lot these days. Most times I didn’t know exactly what the cause of my insomnia was and my head was usually filled with random thoughts, but it was totally different this time. There was only one thought that completely filled my mind for hours on end. Thoughts of him.It felt like he was everywhere I looked and even when I closed my eyes, I kept on thinking of everything that happened last night. The soft brush of his fingers on my face, the look he had in his eyes as he stared down at me, the way he pulled me into him and the way he spoke so softly. It was like he was a completely different individual from what I knew. He reminded me a lot of the person I met the first night I saw him. The man who I had allowed to know

Hermes stood at the door of the shop with one of his men. His eyes were fixed on Athena and Rafael’s mother. He could see a deep sense of fear in the woman’s eyes and he knew that she remembered every single thing that he did to her back then. This brought a deep smile to his face as he walked into the store. Their eyes tracked his movements as the two women were frozen in shock, completely unable to move. So many thoughts were running through their heads as they exchanged glances and wondered what he was doing there.“What are you doing here?” Athena asked, finally finding her voice.“Like I said, we need to talk.” Hermes said, as he moved closer to her.Rafael’s mother stepped in between the both of them. It took the last bit of courage in her mind to do this as she remembered every detail of what had happened when she was kidnapped. She could feel her mind go into full on panic mode when she saw him step into the store and it felt like she was back in that cold dark room which Hern
