ATHENAMy eyes fluttered open, as I came to. A faint beeping noise continued to ring in my head, as I steered wondering where it was coming from. My equilibrium was still off and I had no idea what was going on around me. My mind felt like it was covered by a thick fog and it was very hard to get it clear. My eyelids felt extremely heavy and it was like they were being weighed down by invisible anchors. Finally, I was able to pry them open. It took some time for my eyes to get accustomed to the lighting in the room. There was a light which shone soft and dull right above my head, casting a pale glow across the room I was in.I looked around as it took me a moment to adjust, to process the white walls of the room it was in. There was the hum of machinery all around me, that was where the constant beeping sound was coming from and that smell. It was a very distinct smell which I recognized immediately. I had spent enough time in hospitals during my mother’s hospital to be able to recogn

RAFAEL“Watch your step.” I said, as I held her hands and led her into the house.She had absolutely refused my offers to carry her. In her words, she felt I had done enough. On the contrary, I felt I was yet to do enough. I was not sure if I could ever do enough to compensate for everything that I had put her through in the past few months. I felt it in my heart though, I was definitely ready to make amends for everything. That was the plan.The doctor had finally agreed to discharge her from the hospital and we got back to a welcome party from my mother. She had been extremely happy over the past few days. Ever since I told her the news at the hospital about how the baby might actually be mine, I realized that the glow which she had the first time she found out that Athena was pregnant had actually returned to her face. I couldn’t be hundred percent sure if I was the father, not until the baby was here and we were able to carry out a DNA test.I could feel it in my bones though. It

EPILOGUETHREE MONTHS LATER“He is so beautiful.” Athena said, as she lifted up their baby and spun him around in the air.The past months after the baby had come had been nothing short of magical. She couldn’t stop staring at the baby and she thought about how different her life was now from how it had been just a couple of months ago. They were at a point of peace and Rafael had magically transformed into the sweetest person on the earth. She now saw him smile a lot, especially when he played with Jaden. They had both chosen the baby’s name together after a lot of arguments. It had been a funny scene to witness but at the end of the day, they had settled for Jaden and it was a name that suited him so well.“He has my eyes so of course he is going to look beautiful.” Rafael said, as he emerged at the door of the room.He had been standing there for a while watching his mother and Athena without them knowing. They were startled at first, but at this point they had gotten used to the f

ATHENAYou know there is a saying that a person’s life falls apart at least once before they dieWell, they are not wrong.I am living in hell. One would think that a one night stand would be fun and free of consequences.I mean that is why it is called a one night stand… so it happens and we never think of it again.Whatever could go wrong?Allow me to tell you!You could get pregnant and locked up in a penthouse to bear a child you do not want while the bastard who has knocked you up is gallivanting half way around the world with other women on his arms.He claims he will not allow you abort the child and you must give birth under his care.How stupid could I be?The one time I decide to do it… my very first time and I get pregnant?…I glared at the man on the TV, my eyes watering which forced me to look somewhere else.One hand reached for my belly, patting the bump slightly. I could not feel any movement yet but then again, the doctors said it was too early to feel anything and

ATHENAIt was as though the world had titled on its axis.I could not catch my breath and he kept his eyes on me as though waiting for me to say something.But what could one say when a man makes a promise to kill for you.“I-” I sputtered, clearing my throat slightly.“We are here” He announced.He got out of the car and circled round to hold the door open and help me out of it.The moment was already broken but I could not stop thinking about what he said.He followed me into the bar.Did that mean that he meant to meet with me? Or he was merely curious as to what was wrong with me or both.A waiter greeted us with a smile on her face and so did the receptionist.“Mr Hall, it has been a long time since you graced us with your presence.” She commented right before turning to me.The smile dropped from her face.There was no doubt she used to harbor feelings for Rafael and probably thought me a competition.“This is Athena and we will be having the special”The girl smiled again as sh

ATHENAI am sure I imagined it, I thought.The goosebumps coating my arms at the moment however would say otherwise.I had felt it… that chill and hate about him. It almost made me whimper in fear.“I did not know they kicked so early” He commented, his hand still on my stomach.There was a slight smile on his face now, nothing like what I had seen.“Yeah, the doctor did say anytime now” I told him.He nodded slightly, removing his hand.“Are you not going to eat anymore?” He asked.I stared at the food, my appetite suddenly gone.“I think I am full” I told him.“Shall we leave then?” He rose to his feet, putting a hand out to help me.I took it without saying a word in protest and allowed him lead me out of the restaurant and back into the car.He must have noticed something was wrong because he spurn me around, his arms coming to my shoulders.“You are suddenly awfully quiet” He commented.“I just do not feel like talking after eating” I told him, taking a breath.I was unable to me

RAFAELAm I losing my fucking mind?Maybe that would be the reason I am so disturbed by her.How many times do I have to remind myself that she is the enemy and the plan is to destroy everything she holds dear?Maybe she wasn’t the enemy but the apple never falls far from the tree and her father was my nemesis.Imagine my surprise when I had learned about her identity and the fact that she was the daughter of the man who had kidnapped me as a child.The man who had ruined my life and who still plagued my dreams.I sunk into my chair in the study, not wanting to be around her any longer.I had almost let down my guard today at the restaurant.For a brief moment when I felt the baby kick, I had been reminded of Rachael… so full of life who had been pregnant too at the time I was kidnapped.She did not tell me how she came about being pregnant but she was also experimented upon and died in the process.Athena’s father is a doctor you see, one of the most top performing surgeons in the co

ATHENA“What do you mean by you don’t know where he is?” he asked me,He looked overly concerned as he asked and completely surprised by the fact that I didn’t know where my father was. This didn’t take me by surprise though because who wouldn’t be surprised by that fact.How would one not know where their own parents are?Sometimes it even surprised me and I found it very funny on other days, days such as this. A little laugh escaped my lips, an uncomfortable laugh. I found the fact that my father took off without me absolutely hilarious, given the fact that he always treated me like the best part of his world but then I guess the best part of his world did not belong in his world anymore.I shouldn’t be as shocked by his disappearance though, this would not be the first time that he would up and leave for months on end but then, something about this time felt extremely different. I had the feeling that he wasn’t planning on coming back.He had been radio silent all this time and all

“Athena!” Rafael yelled, as he rushed over to her side.He had watched her fall when he came out of the car and this had taken him completely by surprise. He knew that she could already tell exactly what had happened from the moment he stepped out of the car. The stench of failure was no doubt all around him and he had thought about it all through the drive to the house. He thought about how he was going to tell her that her father was dead and he had watched as Hernandez put a bullet through his head as he was unable to do anything about it. The mere thought of telling her such a thing troubled him so deeply and it showed on his face immediately he stepped out of the car.Without him saying a word, she could already tell that the worst had happened. The look in his eyes told more words than he could ever say. Athena had felt like she was going to cry, as if a great burden had just come upon her shoulder. A burden which was too heavy for her to bear. She felt like she was going to cru

RAFAELWe finally pulled up to the house and my mother was right outside to greet us. She was so happy that we made it out, as I watched her hug Athena deeply. She checked her to ensure that she was fine while she led her into the house. I could see a deep sadness on Athena’s face even though she tried her best to hide it for my mother’s sake. I could tell that she was greatly troubled about what happened to her father. Her words in the car kept on ringing in my head. She had asked me to help him and there was only one way I knew how to.Walking past them, I headed to my room upstairs and went straight to my wardrobe to bring out my box. This was where I kept my suit and weapons which I used when I raided Hermes’s warehouses. Every time I wore it, it meant that I was about to do something which I was not essentially going to be proud of. I stared at the box for a couple of seconds as I contemplated whether or not to open it. Questions danced around in my head as I wondered if doing th

The whole room seemed to be in a sort of chokehold, as everybody’s eyes bounced around. Hermes’s arrival had been quite unexpected to all of them and they had no idea what any of this meant or what he was doing here. From the way that he had burst in, his intentions could be told to some degree though. He was standing in between his two guards who had come into the room with him and he had a smile as he stared at the meeting which was going on at the table. Rafael most especially was very surprised by all that was going on. He wasn’t sure what to make of all of this as so many questions ran through his mind.He got up and walked over to Hermes as their eyes met.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Rafael asked,“And here I was thinking that you were an honorable man that I could trust, Mr Hall.” The investor said, as he sat up and adjusted his suit. “The last thing I was expecting was that you would bring the enemy right to my doorstep after you were the one that asked for this deal t

RAFAELAll through the night leading up to this, I found myself completely unable to sleep. This was certainly not a new phenomenon for me. Sleep had managed to elude me a lot during the past few days and I desperately hoped that I would finally be able to find rest when all of this was in the past. When Athena and the baby were safe and sound, I would finally be able to rest and think about everything. I had desperately avoided thinking about what Rachael had told me the other day. This whole time, I had not even considered the possibility that the child that Athena was carrying could be my own in any way. Initially I had seen it as a means to carry out my revenge on Hermes.Raising the child the way which he had raised me, that was what I had planned to do. That plan had since left my head, but then, I still had never considered the possibility of the child being mine. All I had thought was that the child was Athena’s ex’s and this had pissed me off so much for a reason that I was s

ATHENAEven as I sat bound to the chair with a bag over my head impeding my vision, the whole scene at the restaurant kept on playing in my head. I had seen the bullet go through Rachael as she slumped to the ground along with the gun which she had trained to my back. The whole thing had happened so fast and even though I had tried my best to get to Rafael, especially after hearing him screaming my name out loud, I wasn’t able to. I couldn’t get to him before the van pulled up beside me and the men tossed me in. As I sat in the room, I could still feel their presence all around me. I wondered who they were and nobody had bothered to tell me anything ever since we got to wherever this was. They had not spoken to me directly despite all the questions I threw their way. I was in a world where I knew no one and I struggled so hard to comprehend what was going on.I was sure of one thing though, these were completely different people from Rachael’s men. When we first got here, I had though

RAFAELWe all rode in silence as we headed to my house. Rachael was bleeding in the back seat and I had instructed one of my men to tend to her wounds. She kept staring at me without saying a word, but I could tell from the frown on her face that she was not pleased by anything that was going on. When I had offered her my assistance when she lay on the floor bleeding, she had initially tried to fight me. It had not been so much of a fight as her hand was not of so much use. The bullet was still lodged in there and I had already called the family doctor to meet me up at the house to perform a quick removal of it. The wound didn’t look entirely nasty and I was sure she was going to live through it.Hermes was not too pleased about my decision to keep her alive and he made this expressly clear. Even when I tried to place her in the back of the car, he expressly denied and insisted that he was not going to ride with someone who had been responsible for putting his daughter in harm. I coul
