Once Asher parks his car at the front of her entrance house, Athena immediately runs inside her house.Asher's a bit worried, seeing her pale face earlier. He decides to take a look at her before he went back to the hotel he stayed in.Athena was rummaging her cabinet and kitchen cupboard one by one."Where is it? Where is it?" she mumbles. Her stomach is really in pain right now. She's sweating a lot."Hey, are you okay?" Asher asks her when he saw she tried to find something in her kitchen cabinet."Shit! Is it in the bedroom?" she runs upstairs, leaving Asher in the kitchen dumbfounded. She didn't even bother to answer his question.Asher then follows her from behind.Athena opens her bedside drawer and takes out one pill from a bottle. She swallows it in a second. She curled up and ran her finger to her hair anxiously."Are you taking a drug?" Asher scrunches his eyebrow seeing Athena curling up at the bedside of the bed.She didn't reply to him. When he wants to walk closer, sudde
Inside his jet, Asher touches his lips. He starts to remember back what actually happened last night. When he returned back to his hotel room this morning, he went to take a bath. While he was under the rain shower, he could see a little trace on his hand like fighting with someone before.After his dizziness dissipates, his hazy mind starting to show the memory that has been erased by Athena last night.He still doesn't understand why she is being the target. ‘She's an aloof girl. She doesn't have any occupation, and she lives in a medium-size house. Not huge like her father's mansion.Her skill..when did she learn all of that? Why she has complete equipment hidden in her house? Why is she taking some strange pill, though? Who is she, and who are they? Why the house so clean when he woke up? Where the dead body goes? Why is there no single news about it?’ These questions keep hunting him and make him want to know more.But he can't act recklessly. He knows he needs to pretend like his
Athena turns off the light switch in her gallery. The sculpture is almost finished now. She went to the main house and pressed another button, making the glasshouse move underneath the ground and covered by the lawn grass.After she checks all the switch and everything is in good condition, she turns on the security system before going to her bedroom.Take off her satin robe and only leaving her with the satin nightgown. She’s sneaking under the comforter and close her eyes, trying to sleep.Asher uses his night vision glasses and turns on his laser detector. He is now at the branch tree in Athena's neighbor's house. He scans her home, and he was a bit surprised.'What kind of system is this?' his eyes focus on the random laser, which is kept moving and change the pattern every second. Not to mention the laser light had at least more than 100 designs guarding the house.'Must be Zayne who set this system.' he thought. After thinking for a moment and observed the system, he shake his he
As he leaned closer to her wanting to kiss her lips. Athena turns her face to the side. She closed her eyes tightly as his hand still on her breast."Let go of me, and I'll tell you." She finally gives up."How would I know if you were telling me the truth?" he asks and kisses her nape softly."You're about to rape me. Do you think I will tell you lies? What's the point telling you lies in this situation right now?" she asks him back.Asher looks up to her and smiles proudly with his winning.Release her hands and legs, Athena immediately covers up her body with the comforter.Asher went to the dressing room and, find her another nightgown."Here. I will replace the one I tore up with the new one later." Asher passes the nightgown he chooses for her.Athena took the nightgown, and Asher turns his body around to let her change her clothes."It's late now. Can I just tell you tomorrow?" She said and, turn on the bedside lamp."No, can't do. What if you run away when I let my guard down?"
"Athena! Athena!"Asher's voice was so slow, and it sounded so distant too. She tries to open her eyes, but it was so heavy."It's okay, Ash...We take over from here. You wait at the outside, okay?”'That's daddy's voice.' she wants to speak up, but her throat feels so dry, and it's hurt too."Doctor, please do anything to save my daughter."She could feel the touches from the doctor and a few others' hands. After a few minutes of silence, and she only hears a steel clinking and machine sound, she could listen to the doctor start to scream, not after that."Mr. Lee! Mr. Lee! Your daughter! Your daughter's blood!""Oh my god, what is this now? How come it turns out to be like this?" her father’s voice a bit shook, and she could sense that her father was so worried and stress."Doctor! Look!" another voice starts to scream."This is not good. Wrap the patient up immediately!""Hurry! Don't let a single drop of her blood coming out from her body!"That's the last line she heard before she
Asher's heartbeat starts racing again. The last information she tells him makes him feels…sad…regret...and the feeling of guilt.If only that day, he met her on time or earlier, all of this will not happen to her. She wouldn't have to suffer this. Is this the reason why she refuses him the last time? She was hurt because of my lateness?"Hey...Say something.." Athena back to her seat and divert her eyes to the huge television in the living hall. Continue to watch the anime."I need to do something. I will return back once I have done." Asher stood up and went to the bedroom on the first floor.Athena didn't say anything. She also moves to the living room. She just watched him going up, and then a few minutes later, he went down, ready to go."I'll be leaving now." He went to her on the couch as he bent his body a little and kiss her on the forehead."Bye."Athena was dumbfounded a moment. She blinks her eyes a few times. 'Huh? That was fast for him to change his attitude.'Ignoring the
Athena finishes up the last touch-up before she returns to the main house. Just after the glass room went down, suddenly, her entrance door was opened by Asher.It makes Athena startle at the front of the sliding glass door."What are you doing?" Asher walks to the living room and loosens his tie. He also brings a big suitcase with him.Turned her body around, she facing him. "Nothing. Enjoying the sundown." she gives an excuse before she’s smiling.Look at her shabby and messy shirt make him lift up his eyebrow."Are you playing with the mud or the paint?" he asks as his eyes still fixed on her shirt.Athena gasp a bit. Yup, she forgot that she still wears her baggy work shirt. She covers her expression by smiling and look at her own clothes."This is too plain, I was boring, and I decided to paint my shirt to be like this. Looks natural, right?" Athena giggles.Asher didn't reply to her. He just 'hmm' and went upstairs.Athena went to the kitchen and find something to cook. She's dif
After dinner, Aurora went upstairs and took a bath. While Kinslee still in the living room. He took out his wallet and counted the money on it."Hmm..just enough until the end of the month. Hopefully, that monster didn't eat much," Kinslee mumbles. Close the wallet, he leaned his head on the couch.He remembers when he was still a kid. He heard a rustling sound from the cornfield his grandfather have. He went to check on it.When he flipped the corn leaves, he was punched by this one girl on the face. He cries because it was hurt, and his nose starts to bleed.When he wants to run back to his house, but the girl grabs his hand and even covered his mouth with her palm, whispering."Don't run! And shut up, or I'll punch you again." she threatens him.Because he was afraid, he nodded. He then looks at the girl beside the one who held him down. The girl's expression is like she was sorry for him. She rummages inside her sling pink bag and gives him a handkerchief to wipe his blood.The gir
A beautiful song played by great artists and pianists. All that comes today were so happy to see the prince and his bride getting married.Asher and Athena went to their wedding by private with Zayne and Rachael. While Kinsl
"Rachel Lu, let me propose to you properly this time.""Z...You don't have to-"
Two hours later,Kinslee and Aurora arrive at the hotel rooftop. They have a small party at the top of the hotel and have a barbeque too.
"Nngh…" Rachael groans a bit. She starts waking up when she feels like someone is shaking her body and crying at her side. She could hear a familiar voice calling her name so many times."Z…Is…is that you?" Her throat feels so dry, and she couldn't speak with a
Athena scrunches her eyebrow. She heard every single word that Asher utter just now, and she was so touched to hear that. The confession that supposedly happened years ago on Lu's island is now being said by the man she loves.Without noticing, her tears flow down on her cheek.
"Sobs…Sobs…Ash!…Ash, wake up!""Ash…Please..open your eyes. I beg you.." Athena's tears were dripping down while she pumped Asher's heart using both of her hands.
Took the device that Athena handed to him. He immediately went to Eric which is still on the floor, trying to pull his hand from nailed on the floor by Athena's katana.Athena took another katana on the floor and threw it to Asher before Asher used it to cut Eric's hand.
Bam!Athena grunting and scrunches her eyebrow a bit. She has just been thrown by her husband to the hard floor without any warning from him.
"He planned on killing all of you," Asher told Athena of what Eric planned from the beginning.Scrunch her eyebrow and keep the act, Athena asked, "Ugh….why?"
