The Morin Family
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56On a breezy summer morning, a young lady could be seen roaming in the lavish garden of the Morin mansion while watering the lovely flower plants. She slowly finished watering the magnolia plants and smiled in satisfaction after touching a soft petal of the magnolia flower. Her knee-length green summer dress was already wet with water drops making the part look a shade darker than the rest of the dress.
She steadily picked up the water jar and moved her legs to the other side while humming a soft song. Her beautiful long chestnut hair was pulled in a messy bun on the top of her head while a few strands of hair were coming out of it and flying with the soft breeze.
Her oval-shaped face was void of any makeup making her look fresh and youthful while her bright green eyes added more charm to her stunning beauty. She always wore a smile on the corner of her soft pink lips while the mole on the corner of her lips would add more fuel to her beautiful smile.
She didn’t have any worry about the world as she kept watering the plants while humming her favourite songs and listened to the birds chirping early in the morning.
"Athena!" Someone shouted, making the girl turn around instantly. She looked at the middle-aged woman who was also the main maid in the mansion. Aunt Layla.
"Yes, aunt Layla?" The girl asked with a smile while keeping the water jar aside and wiping her wet hands on her dress, making aunt Layla look at her with a frown.
"You have again drenched yourself while watering the plants? Tell me who you water? The plants or yourself? And how many times have I told you to leave the job to James? It's his job, not yours. Your job is inside the mansion, not in the garden." Layla scolded Athena who was trying to squeeze her dress and get rid of the excess water from her dress to dry it. Her face had the usual sheepish smile plastered on whenever she got scolded by Layla for working in the garden. It's nothing new.
Every day Layla would find her watering the plants in the garden while getting herself drenched with the plants at the same time. Most importantly she would always get late for her actual work. But she couldn’t help it.
"Oh, aunt Layla! You know I can't help it. I just love working in the garden and taking care of the plants. Why don't you give me the gardener's job too? " She said and then asked the last part while smiling at Layla who heaved a defeated sigh after hearing her words. Again she wanted the gardener's job! That girl!
" That's James' job. Alright, enough of this. Now go and change your clothes before coming to the kitchen. I need your help." Layla said in a strict tone making Athena nod at her words obediently.
"I will be back in a few seconds. You just count the time." Athena replied with a grin before running in the direction of her sleeping quarter. Layla looked at her running back and smiled before shaking her head in amusement. The girl never failed to entertain her.

"Athena, take this to the dining table." Becky, one of the maids of the mansion ordered while handing Athena two trays of food. Athena quietly took the dishes from her hands with a nod and moved her body towards the direction of the dining room. After reaching the table she put the dishes down and placed them nicely on the table.
"Is the breakfast ready?" Someone asked from behind, making Athena turn around instantly.
"Good morning, Mrs Morin. Yes, the breakfast is ready. Please have a seat." Athena greeted respectfully the mistress of the Morin mansion, Helen Morin, wife of Gabriel Morin who was the younger son of the patriarch of the house Henry Morin. Helen nodded with a smile and took a seat on her usual chair. Athena went to the kitchen and brought a few more dishes with Becky and placed them on the table nicely.
"Good morning, Mom! Good morning, Athena." Emilia, the only daughter of Gabriel and Helen Morin, also Athena's best friend, greeted them with a cheerful voice while taking a seat beside her mother.
"Good morning, baby."
Good morning." Athena and Helen greeted her back at the same time with a smile. Athena gave her a small nod while serving her food.
"Where's Elijah?" Helen asked about her only son while gracefully cutting her pancakes into pieces and taking a bite.
"He's coming in a while," Emilia replied while digging into her food. Meanwhile, Gabriel and Henry Morin also came down and greeted everyone before taking their seats. Athena greeted them respectfully before exiting the dining room to go to the kitchen and wait for them to finish their breakfast. She was really hungry as she hadn’t eaten anything yet so she took an apple from the basket and started to eat it quietly.

After the Morin family ate their breakfast Athena and Becky quietly cleaned the dining table and put the dirty dishes in the sink to wash them. It was Lexi's job to wash the dishes while Athena was assigned to cleaning and helping in the kitchen. But Athena loved to do every kind of work. So after washing the dishes Athena was about to go upstairs to clean the rooms. She was walking through the corridor absentmindedly while carrying the cleaning stuff when she suddenly bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn’t see where I was going." She apologized and started to pick the scattered cleaning stuff without seeing the person's face.
"Next time keep your eyes clean and watch carefully where you are going." A deep booming voice reached her ears making her look up instantly. Her eyes collided with a pair of cold blue eyes which were looking into her green eyes angrily. Roman Morin. The devilishly handsome elder grandson of Henry Morin and heir of the Morin Corporation. He had a pair of deep ocean blue eyes, dark brown hair, high cheekbones, a sharp jaw, and a pair of pink plump kissable lips, and not forget to mention, the body of a male model.
But the way he was looking at her sent chills down to her bone while his presence made her heart race faster. She quickly averted her eyes and nodded while still bending down on the floor and collected her stuff while looking down. Roman didn’t say anything much and quickly left her there on the floor. When he was finally out of her sight, Athena heaved a sigh and put her hands over her heart to calm it down.
"Stupid heart! Why do you have to beat so fast just by seeing him? Do you want me to die of a heart attack?" Athena scolded her heart for again being a fool and smiled sheepishly at herself before finally getting up from the floor and making her way towards the first room she had to clean.

Athena finished cleaning the last room and gathered the cleaning stuff before exiting the room. She walked slowly through the dark corridor of the third floor. Only Roman Morin lived on this floor. The walls of the corridors were painted in light blue while the floor was wrapped in red carpets making it look bright and vibrant, opposite of what Roman Morin's character was.Athena chuckled lightly while shaking her head at her thoughts. She shouldn't be thinking about those things and focus on her work instead. When she reached the second floor she heard Lexi calling her name. Athena turned around and smiled at her. Lexi was one of the maids in the mansion and was good towards her. She had light blonde hair, fair skin, and light blue eyes. She looked like those pretty mean girls from opera soap but her personality was the opposite. She was an introverted type of girl and didn't tal

Roman chuckled at her counter back."There's a lot of things people don't know about me," Roman said with a careless shrug."Cut the humour aside. Tell me what brings you here Mr Morin." Athena asked straight with a sweet smile plastered on her face, Roman was kinda taken aback by her straightness."Alright, have a seat first Ms. Carson," Roman said as his vo

Athena slowly followed Roman and entered his penthouse. It was a well-furnished and luxurious penthouse. Athena was very tired after the long wedding ceremony and wanted to go to her room and sleep as soon as possible. "Which one is my room?" Athena asked while yawning. She looked like a disaster with her hair looking like a bird's nest. Roman turned around and looked at her expressionlessly. "Upstairs, first room from the left," Roman answered in a casual voice making Athena nod. "Thanks. I will get going then. Good night Mr Morin." Athena said and greeted him a good night before making her way towards the staircase to go upstairs. "R

It was already lunchtime by the time Athena finished making half of the report. She yawned while stretching her body. Her back was aching from sitting too long in the same posture. The office room she was given was a nice one. It was comfortable and everything was well furnished. She was given a personal computer to work on. Athena took her phone out and checked the time. Time to have some lunch. Thinking of food, her stomach grumbled. She didn't eat anything since morning and was very hungry so she decided to take a break and go to eat something. She packed her bag and was about to go out when the telephone on her desk started to ring. She became startled for a moment. She slowly picked the phon

It was around 9 pm when Athena finally finished sending the last email. She was exhausted already so she quickly put her things in her bag and grabbed her phone from her desk before finally making her way out of her cabin. She was holding the printed files in one hand and her stuff in others as she made her way towards Roman's office. The whole floor was calm and silent as everyone had already left. She sighed, thinking when she would be able to go home and sleep. Meanwhile, busy in her thoughts she finally reached Roman's office and knocked two times as usual before entering. She closed the door behind her back and glanced at Roman who was going through some files. As usual, he didn't bother to look up so she cleared her throat to get his attention to which Roman finally looked up at and before putting the file aside.

After coming back from the hotel, Athena went directly to her room before locking herself in. She wasn’t in the right state of mind to face anyone right now after all that happened. She just laid under her blanket, as she was too exhausted and brokenhearted. Each moment she remembered his harsh words and insults, she broke down into sobs. She had been crying since the morning, which made her eyes red and puffy. She never imagined the outcome of her action would turn out to be so severe. Her heart was aching so badly, making it hard for her to breathe properly. A discreet knock on the door caught her attention, making her glance at the door. She removed the comforter from her body while sitting up straight on the bed. “Who’s it?” She asked while quickly wiping away all traces of tears with the back of her palm. “It's me, Kevin, Mrs. Morin.” Athena heard Kevin’s reply from the other side of the door. She heaved a long sigh before quickly fixing her appearance to make herself presenta
The CEO's Hidden Wife Humiliation
The golden sunlight peeked inside the lavish hotel room through the small gap in the white curtains. Athena, who had just turned her body around while smuggling inside the white blanket, frowned when the light fell directly in her face. She let out a small groan while raising her palm a little to block the sudden source of light. She tried to open her eyes after blinking a few times to adjust to the lights. As she tried to move her body to stretch a little, she felt a little sore down there, making her instantly remember the deed she did last night. A small hint of blush crept on her face, making her clutch tighter to her chest. All of a sudden, she realised Roman wasn’t on the bed. She bit her lips while trying to peek into the other corner of the room, trying to see if he was present or not. It didn’t take her long enough to spot his tall figure standing at the entrance of the balcony, smoking some cigarettes. He looked like he had already taken a shower, as he was already dressed
The CEO's Hidden Wife Ecstasy
Roman gently carried Anthea directly to the room before placing her naked body on the bed. As she fell back onto the bed, her hair spread all over the pillow, but it's those stunning pair of eyes that kept him enchanted. He could stare at those pair of green eyes and get lost forever. Athena was undoubtedly the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He had been attracted to her since God knew when, yet he was too proud to admit it because of their differences in social status. He had been denying her for too long, all because of his pride. He hated to admit it, but he wanted her. He wanted her from the moment he realised how beautifully she had grown up and how attractive and sexy she had become with time. "I'm going to make you mine, Athena," he declared while his ocean blue eyes stared directly into her green ones. Athena felt weak in her knees as a sudden foreign feeling raised in the oit of her stomach. She looked at him in a daze as her whole body burned with fire and need. She
The CEO's Hidden Wife Fire
Roman let out a groan and tightened his grip on Athena's hair, his lips smashing down on hers with the same urgency she was feeling. She whimpered against his lips and opened herself for him, wanting and craving more. Every idea fled as her arms wrapped around his neck, his body pressing against hers. "Fuck," he mumbled against her lips before placing his hands around her waist. "You taste as sweet as the last time I tasted you." He pushed her up against the bathroom wall, and her legs wrapped around his hips as her dress fell open at the cut in her thigh. "So fucking sweet. Just like honey." Roman whispered between kisses while bringing her closer. As his hands moved over Athena's body, his touch was agitated and urgent. The way he swayed his hips while kissing her was driving her mad. Athena could immediately tell how much he wanted her, and the way he pushed up against her was magical. It's both too much and not enough at all. Athena began to pull down Roman's damp shirt, and h
The CEO's Hidden Wife Warning
Athena stared at the slightly closed door of the washroom with a worried expression on her face. She debated with herself whether she should go inside or not. He looked like he was in such pain, which made her heart clench in pain too. She wanted to call for help, or at least call Kevin. He might have some kind of solution. As she was about to turn around to walk away, she heard the shower running inside. The weather around here was already chilly, and he was taking a cold shower in this situation. What if he caught a cold or pneumonia? Athena's eyes widened in realization. She quickly turned around before walking in front of the washroom again. "Are you okay?" She called while lightly knocking on the door. However, there was no response except for the sound of water running. "You will catch a cold if you stand under the cold water for too long. It's not a good idea, Roman." She said it helplessly while starting at the wooden door. Still, there was no response from him, which made he
The CEO's Hidden Wife Drugged
Athena sat beside Roman with a bored expression on her face. She looked mindlessly here and there, not being able to focus on anything. She started to hate those business parties. Before coming, she was anticipating the party but after coming, she regretted it. Those men around here were only talking about business, the stock market or other boring things. While the women were busy talking about fashion, designer dresses and jewellery or boyfriends. Athena was interested in none of that stuff. She was getting annoyed at Roman for forcing her to stay beside him. She had no job sitting there and staring at people's faces. Getting impatient, Athena poked Roman's arm making him turn around and face her. He raised one of his eyebrows, silently asking her to speak. "I'm bored. Can I go and look around?" Athena asked pitifully. Roman paused for a moment before looking around for a few seconds. He then leaned forward towards her."Don't go wandering around. You can try some snacks from the
The CEO's Hidden Wife Party
It's been three days already and their business in Montreal was half done. They signed the deal yesterday so their business partners decided to throw a gala in their honour. Which would take place tonight. Surprisingly in the last three days, she didn't have much hard time working and staying with Roman. They pretty much behaved how they used to behave while living in their penthouse in Vancouver. Everyone was busy with their professional tasks and didn't get much time to chit-chat. Natalie surprisingly acted quite calmly while they were around their business partners which also surprised Athena. Currently, Athena was getting ready for the party. She had around two hours left till Roman came knocking on her door. Athena sighed lazily while looking through her dresses. She had a few dresses with her, mostly those Eleana sent her. Athena picked up a green dress that matched her eyes' colour. She put the dress aside before starting to do her hair. She put her hair in an elegant bun with
The CEO's Hidden Wife Room With Him?
"Stay away from him." He leaned forward and whispered coldly in her ears. She turned her head to look at him and this made their noses touch. Athena's eyes went wide as she stared at Roman who at the same time stared at her, his eyes already turned intense. "What do you mean?" She whispered back looking into his eyes. Her traitor eyes roamed his face and then fixed on his soft pink lips which looked quite tempting. Athena almost shook her head and leaned her body backwards while creating some distance between them. She looked around to see if anyone noticed them but fortunately, everyone was busy minding their own business. She sighed in relief. Roman who had been looking at her the whole time also drew back his body on his seat lazily. His eyes roamed her open arms and the huge portion of cleavage which was showing through the loose spaghetti top because of her slightly bending down her body. "Whatever you heard. I don't want you to get close to him by any means." He didn't beat
The CEO's Hidden Wife Stay Away From Him
Athena sat quietly in the luxurious private jet while looking outside through the jet's window. Looking at the white clouds and blue sky, her heart felt calm. Beside her sitting quietly was Kevin. Athena had her headphones plugged in while she listened to some soft music to block her ears from the unwanted sweet talks and giggles. It was the day they were flying to Montreal, Quebec. Unfortunate for Athena as she thought they were flying to Quebec city. Currently, there were seven people in the private jet excluding the two pilots and the two flight attendants. Roman was sitting with Natalie Smith while Kevin and she sat together across them. Behind Roman and Natalie were Oliver Reid, Roman's best friend and business partner and Jared Smith, Smith Corporation's CFO and Natalie's elder cousin. Mia, Jared Smith's secretary, sat alone behind Athena. While choosing seats Athena deliberately sat beside Kevin because he was the only one in the whole jet with whom Athena was acquainted bes
