REVENGE FOR THE BETRAYAL OF MY LOVER AND STEP-SISTER 10. I'M SORRY, NOAH
Upon hearing the alarming news, Athena and Sargas rushed home, abandoning the inn where they had planned to spend two days together. That evening, the sound of Noah's cries filled the house, stirring guilt in Athena's heart.“Mom!” Noah screamed.Athena immediately embraced her son, soothing his pitiful sobs. “I’m so sorry, sweetheart,” she said, her voice full of regret.“Mommy, those people came and tried to hurt me,” Noah sobbed, his face pale.Athena and Sargas turned to Prilly in unison. “Who was responsible for watching Noah at school today?” Sargas demanded.“Two of Mr. Ren’s assigned bodyguards were in an accident on their way, and I arrived late because of traffic. I deeply apologize for everything, Mr. Sargas,” Prilly said, tears welling up in her eyes.“The teacher supervising Noah said a man tried to force Noah to leave with him, but the school security quickly intervened…”“I’ve checked the CCTV footage from the school, and it appears the man is a stranger—I’ve never seen

Athena was furious when she found out that the culprit was one of Merrya’s messengers—Glenn’s mother. She begged her father to report the incident to the police, but Ren explained that it wasn’t that simple."The most important thing is Noah's safety. If we report Merrya to the police, it could become very dangerous because they might accuse you of separating your child from Glenn," Ren advised.Athena was taken aback, realizing that since Noah was Glenn’s biological child, the Cardelion family could use that fact to attack her. She placed her hand on her chest, trying to calm herself."What should I do, Father? I’m afraid they won’t give up trying to kidnap Noah again."Ren patted his daughter’s shoulder and spoke seriously."You’re taking two days off, aren’t you? Tomorrow, I’ll handle the meeting with the Cardelion management, and I’ll ensure that the day after, when you and Sargas arrive at the company, you’ll meet him."Athena trembled, unsure if she was ready to meet Glenn again

"Noah, where did you learn those words from?" Athena asked."I saw my friends, they have fathers and also siblings. So if Uncle Sargas becomes my dad, I’ll have a sibling too, right?"Athena smiled, trying to offer the best understanding she could. "Sweetheart, what if... I don’t need to marry, but you can still have a sibling?""Uh, how does that work? Are you going to make a sibling from dough?" Noah asked, moving his hands as if mixing something, making Athena laugh.She didn’t immediately respond. Instead, she took a plate and put some roasted chicken and fried potatoes on it. "Eat, and after that, go study. You probably have a lot of homework, don’t you?"Noah nodded quickly, instantly forgetting the main topic because his stomach was hungry. Ren, Ruby, and Sargas arrived at the dining table, and they had dinner without discussing marriage any further.Noah’s request about marriage seemed to be forgotten as they ate in silence. They only spoke again after the meal was finished."

“NEXT WEEK?!” Athena was shocked when she heard the news from her mother. “Mom, isn’t this too sudden? I mean… this will take a lot of people by surprise.”Ruby placed a reassuring hand on her daughter’s shoulder. “Are you having second thoughts about your relationship with Sargas? I can talk to your father if that’s the case.”Athena shook her head. “I do want to marry Sargas, but I’m worried about how people will react. I’m afraid it might tarnish the family’s reputation, Mom.”Ruby embraced her daughter warmly. She understood Athena’s concerns—being a member of the Gilgareth family came with heavy burdens and responsibilities. But Ren and Ruby had never once seen Athena’s status as an issue.“We won’t let that happen to you, sweetheart. Anyone who dares to demean you will have to deal with us,” Ruby assured her firmly.Athena still couldn’t believe how cherished she was by the Gilgareth family. All the pain she had endured in the past seemed to fade away in their care.She no longe

Giselle was startled when her hand was grabbed by an unfamiliar man, though from his words, it was clear he was defending Athena.“Why are you being so rude to Athena? Who are you?” Sargas asked, pretending not to recognize the woman.There were few people who didn’t know Giselle. She had been introduced, albeit unofficially, as the heir to the Willowspot Corporation and was also widely recognized as the partner of the CEO of Cardellion.Giselle yanked her hand free from Sargas and looked at him with disdain. “Who are you, and what business is this of yours?”Sargas, who had kept his identity hidden, was not easily recognizable. “Pardon me, but you’ve been bothering my fiancée,” he replied calmly.Giselle stared at Sargas, scrutinizing him from head to toe. She could tell from his appearance and the luxury items he wore that this man wasn’t ordinary.“Oh, so this is the man you managed to seduce, Athena? How utterly pathetic!” Giselle folded her arms. “Hey, sir, do you know the kind o

The long sigh was followed by the cessation of the creaking bed. Glenn withdrew from Athena's body and picked up his scattered clothes from the floor."Take this." He threw a thick brown envelope at Athena. "You have to go to the hospital tomorrow, right? Take that money and pay your sister's first treatment installment."Athena took the envelope while pulling up the blanket. The 22-year-old woman lowered her head, unable to meet Glenn's gaze every time she made such a big mistake.Pain.For almost two months, Athena had been Glenn's lust slave.

Athena folded her body at the edge of the room, her hands hugging her knees tightly. Coldness and pain throughout her body merged into one.Athena couldn't bear it, but her hands rubbed her still-flat belly slowly. "Hang in there, my child. You won't die even if my body is in pain. I will protect you no matter what."The bedroom door opened, and Glenn entered while tossing a blanket towards Athena. "I've talked to my family, they agreed to take care of the baby once it's born."Athena was surprised. "Is-t that true?"Glenn nodded, lighting a cigarette and sitting in front of Athena. "But you have to be isolated somewhere else. Your parents also agreed, they can't stand seeing a pregnant woman who could ruin the reputation of two families."Athena nodded in agreement, she had no choice but to obey their words. "I'll do it, please. Do anything as long as this baby stays alive, I don't want it to die."Glenn smirked slyly and handed a train ticket to Athena. "Leave tomorrow morning, the d

“Alright, everything is back to normal as before. Congratulations, Miss Athena, you have recovered remarkably well,” said Doctor Savana, a bone specialist who had been treating Athena for several years.The woman with chocolate-colored hair down her back smiled with relief, feeling immense gratitude in her heart. She glanced towards the door, where a man in a black shirt, who had faithfully accompanied her, smiled happily while giving her a thumbs-up.“You’re amazing, Miss Athena,” praised Sargas Gilgareth, aged 28, two years older than Athena. He was her nephew and also the CEO of Havallary, Inc, a company managed by Athena’s adoptive parents.“What do you think, Sargas? Do I look ready to appear in public?” Athena asked, her smile perfect.The man in front of her tidied a few strands of hair that fell to the side of Athena's face, tucking them behind her ear. “You look stunning, Miss. Everyone should see you. The Gilgareth family’s daughter is healthy and ready to return.”Athena wa

Sargas was instantly startled by Athena's words. “You’re joking, right? You’re not seriously considering marrying Glenn, are you?” His face showed disappointment, prompting Serena to laugh at him.“Hey, why are you so scared, Sargas? Have you forgotten what I planned before?” Athena tried to remind him, but it seemed Sargas had truly forgotten.Athena refreshed Sargas's memory about the plan she had shared a few days ago. “You must not pay attention when I speak. I’ve already told you that I’ll flirt with Glenn again.”Sargas realized how often he overlooked things because talking to Athena always drew his focus to her beauty.“I’ll seduce him, and when he starts hoping again, I’ll abandon him. At that moment, I’ll need your help to ensure Glenn is completely defeated,” Athena explained.Sargas sighed and pulled Athena into his embrace. “I almost went mad thinking you might forgive and marry Glenn, Athena.”“That will never happen, Sargas.

Not just kissing, they French kissed until the sound of their lips smacking against the wind. Their arms tightened around each other, showing the different desires clamoring to be satisfied.“I'm sorry, Athena,” said Sargas.Athena shook her head, her face hiding embarrassment.“Are you angry?”Athena shook her head again, then rested her head on Sargas' chest. “Thank you,” she said.“Thank you for what?”“You already love me.”“Do you have the same feeling?”Athena didn't know, she was comfortable with Sargas. She had known the man since the Gilgareths first made him part of their family. It never occurred to her to make Sargas her own, she did not want to be labeled greedy.However, it was Sargas himself who had feelings for her. The man fell in love from the moment he saw Athena, wanting to make the husbandless woman his own.

News about Giselle throwing a tantrum in the office quickly went viral and became widely discussed. A video of her yelling, pulling employees' hair, and engaging in physical violence spread widely. The reputation of the Willowspot company took a big hit, its stocks plummeted, and it led to significant losses in several ongoing projects.“Giselle, do you realize what you’ve done, huh?!” Ferdinand asked, his voice tense and angry. “You’ve tarnished our name and caused chaos. We’re facing massive losses, and some investors have pulled their partnerships. That means we’re about to go bankrupt!”Giselle sobbed uncontrollably, her head hanging low, not daring to look at her stepfather.“Do you have any solution to fix this? No, right? Your husband's company is on the brink, and you should understand how important it is to maintain the reputation.”“Dad, I did that out of impulse. I was angry when they suddenly left and withdrew their shares without notice. I felt humiliated because they did

Giselle appeared at the door, her face pale, and her eyes looked extremely angry. The knife in her hand made Glenn and Merrya scared."Are you trying to betray me?" Giselle asked, furious."Giselle, please... can you listen to me first? Don't be angry, darling. I can explain everything." Glenn panicked."Mother-in-law, do you want to separate me and Glenn after everything I've done for you? Do you think I'm a useless woman? HUH?!"Giselle shouted angrily, then threw the knife at Merrya.Merrya screamed in fear, but Glenn quickly pulled his mother away to keep the knife from hurting her."Giselle, listen to me, you just misunderstood. I won't follow what Mother says, I won't leave you. You have to trust me," Glenn said.Giselle’s breath was uneven as she sobbed uncontrollably, her legs weakening as she collapsed onto the floor. She could swear, in her lifetime, she had never felt such sorrow and frustration.Her mother’s death, her father’s affair happening right before her eyes, the b
