The Piano of Vengeance Guarding Love, Fueling Revenge
While gazing at Athena's peaceful, sleeping face, Arthur reached for his other phone. Without ending the video call, he simply activated the mute function before dialing one of the people he trusted to keep an eye on Athena."Tighten your surveillance on that cunning man! Make sure he never enters her room again! Don't let your guard down for even a second, especially at night. And keep me updated whenever you or the others notice anything suspicious about him!"["Understood, Sir. The team and I will take turns standing guard according to schedule. Apologies for the slip-up earlier—we were still busy handling some matters Mrs. Athena requested."]"Hmm, alright. It's fine, she was able to handle it. But I’m warning all of you, do not let it happen again!"["Understood, Sir!"]Nodding, Arthur immediately ended the call with his trusted subordinate. He didn’t want to let his anger get the best of him, he understood the current situation there all too well. Athena had likely instructed he

Sunlight streamed through Athena’s bedroom window, gently warming her skin. But the moment she stirred, her eyes snapped open in horror.“Oh, no. No, no, no!”She scrambled for her phone, panic setting in as she saw the time. She was late.In her rush, she nearly knocked over the device still propped up beside her bed. That’s when she noticed it—the ongoing video call.Arthur.She grabbed her phone, blinking in disbelief. He was still on the call. He had stayed the entire night.And there he was—calm as ever, sitting at a dining table, dressed in a crisp white shirt, casually eating breakfast.Athena bit her lip, watching him through the screen. He looked effortlessly handsome, sleeves rolled up slightly, his expression relaxed. He seemed completely unbothered as if he hadn’t spent the entire night watching over her."Morning, sleeping beauty!" Arthur finally glanced at his screen and smirked."I overslept!" Athena groaned, running a hand through her messy hair."I can see that." Arth

"Yours?"Athena's breath hitched upon hearing it. Her heart pounded even faster, especially when the man who had already surprised her closed the distance between them until her eyes could see nothing but his handsome face."Do you want me to say it again?""Huh?"Arthur chuckled, watching the woman in front of him grow more nervous. That only made him even more eager to tease her. "Do you want to hear it again?""Ah, well... I mean... since when was I yours? Did I miss something big?" Athena raised an eyebrow, trying to joke so she wouldn't immediately fall into the man's game."You didn’t miss it, you’re about to face it. You're ready, aren’t you?"Feeling even more flustered, Athena was at a loss for words when she felt a warm arm wrap around her waist. Her eyes locked onto his, especially when Arthur gently caressed

"I can’t believe it! Did you see his face? He was so stunned!" Athena laughed as they walked to the car.As soon as they left the meeting, Athena could barely contain her excitement. The look of sheer disbelief on the Mayor’s face when he realized who Arthur truly was—was priceless. She had never seen the man so utterly speechless before, and knowing that he no longer had the nerve to question her leadership filled her with a deep sense of satisfaction."I think he finally understands that underestimating you was his biggest mistake," Arthur smirked as he opened the door for her."Yeah! And now, thanks to you, Arthur! He won’t dare question my decisions again!"Athena slid into the passenger seat, still beaming. As Arthur started driving, Athena kept talking, unable to contain her happiness. She rambled on about the Mayor’s reaction, the satisfaction of proving him wrong

"Hey, are you disappointed with my past?"After a long silence, Arthur finally gathered the courage to ask. He gently shifted the delicate body in his arms, turning her to face him so that his brown eyes could directly observe Athena's expression.His heart pounded even harder when he saw her silently watching him. But this time, it wasn't the usual flutter of love he felt whenever he was close to her. Instead, it was a nervous thudding—born out of fear, the fear of being left behind.After months together, Arthur wasn’t ready for a goodbye. Even though his relationship with Athena couldn’t yet be defined as lovers, his feelings for her had already grown far beyond that."Athena, I’m sorry. Maybe I’m being too selfish because—""You don’t have to explain everything to me all at once," she said softly, rubbing his face gently.

Feeling goosebumps all over her body, Athena bit her lower lip. Arthur asked almost in a whisper with one of his thumbs that started rubbing gently there. Her heart was beating faster. Her gaze could not look away from the man's alluring gaze."How am I supposed to focus on listening to your explanation if we're so close together like this? Can we just step back a bit and you explain as usual afterward?"Smiling faintly, Arthur moved closer until the tip of his lips almost touched Athena's earlobe. "I'm afraid I can't stay away from you anymore. How about I just explain it this way? I'm not explaining it in words but in another way anyway.""Another way?"Seeing one of Arthur's thick eyebrows raised, Athena's heart beat faster and faster. She didn't know how Arthur was going to explain the answer to her question, so she was looking forward to it even though Arthur was putting some very tempting press

Athena sighed softly before finally giving in to Arthur's request. She turned to the back seat, shifting herself to sit there as she searched for whatever it was that Arthur claimed had fallen."Wait, what is this?" Her brows furrowed when she spotted a small red box nestled between the seats. Her fingers hesitated before picking it up."What? I don't know, dear... Can you open it, please?" Arthur, still sitting in the front, smirked.Athena’s frown deepened, but she obeyed. The moment she lifted the lid, her breath caught in her throat. Inside lay a dazzling diamond necklace, its brilliance catching the dim light inside the car. She stared at it in shock, unable to process what she was seeing."This is....""For you!" Arthur continued, who now completely turned to look at the woman he loved."For me?"Athena froze, her

Leon suddenly appeared from behind the stairs. His voice was sharp and full of accusations. His narrowed gaze made Athena scoff as she failed to find a clear reason for him to be standing before her now."What are you doing, waiting for me in the dark like this?""Just answer me, Athena. Who brought you home?" Leon took a step closer, his jaw tightening. Athena, who saw that, only smiled slightly before finally stepping forward to face the man with her head up fearlessly."I don’t see how that’s any of your concern. What's in it for me to answer your question?" she asked coldly, refusing to acknowledge the accusation in his tone."Of course, it’s my concern. You’re still my wife!""Your wife?" Athena laughed bitterly. "That’s rich coming from the man who threw me away first. You made it clear that I meant nothing to you, Leon. So tell me, why do you suddenly care?""Don’t twist things! I’m asking you where you’ve been and who brought you home!"Getting closer to his wife, Leon notice

The Piano of Vengeance A Heart Divided
Athena froze at Arthur’s question. Where are you going? The words hung heavily in the air, suffocating her. She had planned to leave, to return to her own house, but now, seeing Arthur standing before her after all this time, she hesitated. How could she say it now? She didn’t want to dampen the joy of his return."Dear?""You just got back. Come inside first!" Athena forced a small smile and reached for his hand. Arthur studied her for a moment, as if sensing something was off, but eventually, he nodded.She led him inside, her fingers still wrapped around his. But as soon as they stepped in, she noticed the house was quiet. Reyna was nowhere to be seen—she had already retreated into her room."She’s avoiding us." Arthur let out a heavy sigh. Athena squeezed his hand reassuringly."She just needs time. She’s adjusting. You said her psych
The Piano of Vengeance The Weight of Happiness
Time passed by without her realizing it. One day after another went by. The series of divorce trials between Athena and Leon had begun running smoothly without obstacles. Slowly, the negative gossip about her life started to fade away. The project to build a free music school with the Mayor was nearing its final stages, and her company’s collaboration with Caroline’s business was also progressing well.Everything was starting to fall into place for Athena, yet there was still an emptiness in her heart. To her, all these achievements still felt incomplete because the person who had been her source of strength—the one who kept her going—was not by her side.Arthur. Yes, his departure had left a void in Athena’s heart. Even though Arthur had told her beforehand that he would be too busy to return to his sister anytime soon, she couldn’t help but feel restless. That feeling only deepened with time, pulling her
The Piano of Vengeance Beyond the Chains
Tingg!A sudden notification sound rang just as the initial meeting for her collaboration with Caroline's company concluded. Realizing that it was Arthur who had messaged her, Athena quickly glanced around to make sure no one was watching her at that moment.[I'm sorry, but I have to go abroad for a while due to an urgent matter. I didn't have the chance to inform you in person because everything happened so quickly.]Letting out a quiet sigh, Athena leaned back in her chair. Once again, a tightness gripped her chest. She felt that sense of loss creeping in again, so she quickly shifted her focus to her employees, who were preparing to leave the meeting room, and to Caroline, who seemed busy with her phone—to push away that feeling.[I'm sorry once again, dear. I never wanted to leave you, but I have no choice.]Staring blankly at her phone screen, Athena straightened her p
The Piano of Vengeance Forgive Me Again
"E–enemy?"Athena stammered as both of her ears caught Caroline’s last word. Her eyes widened in tension, especially when the woman nodded in response, meeting her gaze without hesitation."Caroline... I think we've gone too far with this conversation. We should—""Don't be so tense, Athena. I haven't explained what I meant yet," Caroline said calmly once again, though her ever-changing gaze made her intentions difficult to read."Ah, I just...""What I mean is, we could become enemies if you were to take the man who has been a savior in my life. I absolutely despise it when something that should belong to me is taken or even disturbed by someone else. But surely, you wouldn’t do that to me, right?" Caroline chuckled again as if trying to lighten the mood, leaving Athena oblivious to the true meaning behind her words.Athena forced a s
The Piano of Vengeance A Poisoned Friendship
Once he left, Athena sat still for a moment, staring at the empty space beside her. A strange feeling crept into her chest, was it disappointment? Worry? Or something else entirely?Shaking it off, she decided she couldn’t dwell on it. She needed to get back to her own life.Arriving at her office, she immediately instructed the security team to be cautious about accepting packages with no clear sender information. The last thing she needed was an unexpected threat slipping through the cracks like yesterday."Athena!""Caroline?"Athena waved her hand toward a woman who had just stepped out of a luxury car. Without hesitation, she gave her a warm hug as the woman in dark sunglasses approached, then slightly furrowed her brows when the woman handed her a rather large handbag with the label of a well-known brand."What is this?" she asked, still unsure.
The Piano of Vengeance Between Duty and Desire
Athena let out a soft sigh, staring at the ceiling.As she lay there, wrapped in the thick blanket Arthur had secured around her, she let out a small sigh. The lingering heat of their moment still clung to her skin, making her body tingle with anticipation. Yet, Arthur was gone now—at least for the moment.She waited. And waited. But Arthur never returned. Her fingers absently traced the fabric of Arthur’s bedsheets. She had expected him to return quickly, but the minutes stretched on, turning into an hour… and then another."Geez, why am I being like this?" she muttered worriedly to herself.She turned onto her side, curling up slightly as a strange sense of unease settled in her chest. He wouldn’t have just left without a word—not after what had happened between them tonight.At first, she thought he might have gotten caught up in something minor,
The Piano of Vengeance Until the Morning Comes
"Holding back?"Arthur couldn’t help but smile when he heard that. Deep down, he had to admit it was true. He had been holding back all this time—restraining himself from touching every inch of Athena’s smooth skin, even as his heart and body yearned for her more with each passing day.Tonight, after such a long wait, it was finally happening. This wasn’t just a fleeting desire; it was a dream he had held onto for so long, a hope for the future. He hoped to remain in this moment, in this intimacy, until the day he married her and spent the rest of his life by her side—until death did them part."Hmm... Why did you stop?" Athena’s soft voice broke the silence, laced with a hint of hesitation. "Isn’t this the best distraction from all the troubles drowning us?"Arthur nodded, then pressed a lingering kiss to the delicate skin beside him, his signature smirk ret
The Piano of Vengeance No More Holding Back
"Thank you! I'll confirm the arrival of both of us with the Mayor!"Before getting up from the lap of the man who always managed to capture her heart, Athena gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his lips. She smiled upon noticing his surprised expression. To her, Arthur always looked incredibly cute when he was like that, making it impossible for her to hold back a chuckle as she pulled away."The maid said you've already had dinner, right? In that case, get some rest. I’ve eaten too, so I just need to go back to my room to freshen up before resting."Smiling again, Athena adjusted Arthur’s blanket and bed before finally preparing to leave. She made sure he was completely comfortable before her eyes suddenly widened in shock—she was abruptly pulled back onto the bed.Who else could it be but Arthur? As if unwilling to let her go just yet, he pulled her back toward him before captu
The Piano of Vengeance A Web of Secrets
Crystal’s growing curiosity as the mysterious woman walked away. A chill ran down her spine, her mind still spinning. She tapped her fingers against the cold, hard surface of her cell’s metal bed.The first letter of their names was the same? That meant her name started with C. But who? Charlotte? Cassandra?No. None of them matched the woman she had just seen. That poised smile, that air of confidence, it didn’t fit anyone she knew."Damn it!" she muttered under her breath. Her fingers curled into fists. "Who the hell was she?!"The woman’s words echoed in her mind, especially when she talks about Athena’s downfall. Something about this was different. This wasn’t just idle gossip or petty revenge. The woman had a plan, and she could feel it."Great!" she muttered bitterly. "Yet another person obsessed with that woman!"Cry
