"Let us examine all this evidence first, Mr. Leon. You can testify later!"
Leon tried to evade but the odds were stacked against him. With a sharp glance at Arthur and Athena, he clenched his fists tightly again. His brain was trying to think of a quick escape in this situation, otherwise he would end up in prison for a long time.
"All of this evidence is very sufficient, sir. I hope from today he can be arrested immediately. Moreover, he had previously committed a lot of crimes that harmed many people," Arthur added, occasionally returning Leon's sharp glance with his stern gaze.
Athena, who witnessed all this again, could only remain silent with a transfixed gaze. She still couldn't believe it, even though in her heart she felt very happy with Arthur's presence.
Didn’t Leon say that the man was unconscious for days after being brutally beaten by hi

The Piano of Vengeance Safe in His Arms
"Arthur…"As soon as Arthur stepped into the car, Athena couldn't hold back her emotions any longer. She threw her arms around him, burying her face in his chest as tears spilled down her cheeks."I’ve got you. You’re safe now," he whispered against her hair. Arthur caught her immediately, wrapping her in a tight embrace. She clung to him, burying her face into his chest."I was so scared!" she admitted between sobs. "I thought I’d never see you again. I thought—""I told you I’d come back for you," he murmured and pulled back just enough to cup her face in his hands. His thumb brushed away her tears. "I’d fight through hell to reach you!"A fresh wave of emotion washed over Athena. She pressed her forehead against his with sobs that had not subsided. Her lips occasionally opened as if she was about to say something, but unfortunat

"Excuse me, Mr. James, Mrs. Athena."Arthur’s fingers hovered over his phone, about to check the multiple missed calls and the message about Reyna. However, before he could reach for it, the door swung open, and a nurse entered, pushing a tray of food."It's time for your meal," the nurse said with a warm smile. "You need proper nutrition to recover quickly.""I suppose there's no escaping this, huh?" Arthur sighed, leaning back against the pillows. Athena, who had been standing beside him, smirked."Not unless you want me to report you to the doctor, sir." The nurse chuckled, making Athena chuckle too. She quickly picked up a tray of food that was handed to Arthur."Don’t worry, nurse. I’ll make sure he eats everything!""Thank you. Don't forget to finish your meal afterward." The nurse gave a knowing smile before setting the tray down on t

"Sir..."Athena immediately shifted her position to sit up. Not only that, but she also quickly moved away from Arthur, unwilling to become the subject of gossip."What's the matter?" Arthur asked briefly, his gaze slightly cold.Yes, the warmth he usually showed Athena was gone. When he was with his subordinates, Arthur was always like this—strict and commanding, earning the respect and obedience of everyone around him."Miss Reyna... Miss Reyna, sir!" The man in the black suit stammered.Arthur’s heart instantly felt like it had stopped beating upon hearing his sister’s name."What about Reyna? She's okay, isn't she?" Athena interjected, her face just as worried."Yes, what’s wrong with my sister? Speak clearly!"Nodding, Arthur’s subordinate stepped closer and showed him several messag
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-16The Piano of Vengeance The Stepmother’s Game
"Damn! The phone is completely unreachable!"Holding back his frustration, Arthur gripped his phone tightly. Athena, still by his side, gently stroked his muscular arm. She gazed at him with a sorrowful expression, though deep inside, she remained extremely curious about the true relationship between Arthur and his stepmother.After receiving news that Reyna had yet to be brought home, Arthur hadn't explained anything to her. He had only been trying to leave the hospital, though she had eventually managed to convince him to stay for further treatment. Yet, he kept trying to call his stepmother repeatedly while instructing his men to search for possible locations where Reyna might be."Reyna...""She'll be okay, trust me!" Athena slowly took the slim device from Arthur’s grasp before gently caressing his handsome face. She wanted to ease his tension, especially when she noticed his brown eyes gl

"How is he doing, Doc? I still see him holding back headaches from time to time, but he always says he's fine."Arthur took a deep breath, trying to suppress the frustration bubbling inside him as he sat on the hospital bed. The doctor had just finished his final examination, and Athena's question was enough to unsettle him."Headaches after a severe impact are quite common, ma’am." The doctor offered a reassuring smile in response to Athena's concern for Arthur. "But based on the latest examination, nothing has worsened. Now it's just a matter of recovery time and—""Can I leave the hospital soon?" Arthur cut in immediately, causing Athena to shake her head in exasperation."Yes, you may go home after this, sir. But...""But what? Does his condition still need close monitoring?" This time, it was Athena who spoke, prompting Arthur to let out a small sigh.&nbs
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-18The Piano of Vengeance The Edge of Control
Athena took a deep breath as she stepped into the mayor’s office, her posture poised yet firm. The tension in the room was almost suffocating, a clear reflection of the chaos that Leon had left in his wake. Across from her, the mayor—an older man with a stern yet understanding gaze—watched her expectantly."Mrs. Athena," he greeted, motioning for her to take a seat. "I assume you're here to clear up the… mess your husband has created?""Ex-husband," she corrected immediately, sitting gracefully in the chair opposite him. "Or, at least, soon to be.""Understood. But the media isn’t as patient as the legal system, especially after the fake press conference made by him yesterday.""Sorry, sir. At that time I was threatened by him, so I couldn't prevent his crazy ideas."The mayor nodded to convey his expression of concern. "Sadly right now, rumors are
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-19The Piano of Vengeance A Choice
"What do you mean?"Arthur's body tensed upon hearing the threat. The men in the car with him exchanged glances, trying to gauge the situation. None of them dared to speak until they finally decided to pull the vehicle over for a moment.["You know exactly what I mean, Arthur."] Caroline laughed where she sat, exhaling a cloud of cigarette smoke. ["Just make your choice. Just so you know, I just met her. I think she’s easy enough for me to manipulate. She looks dumb and—"]"She is not dumb!" Arthur’s hands clenched even tighter at his sides. His breathing grew heavier, fueled by frustration.["Yeah, yeah... Believe whatever you want. But to me, she still looks like it."] Caroline chuckled mockingly. ["So, what will it be? Your sister or that woman? Just so you know, I might be kind to Reyna if you agree with everything I say. But that woman? Oh, absolutely not. I despise foolish wom
Huling Na-update : 2025-03-20The Piano of Vengeance Between Love and Lies
Athena's breath hitched at Arthur's words. Her eyes widened slightly, surprise evident on her face. Though deep down, she felt her heart race uncontrollably.The way he looked at her—intense, full of desire—made her stomach flutter, and despite her best efforts, heat crept up her cheeks."I..." She hesitated, biting her lower lip as she struggled to find the right words.Arthur took her hesitation as an invitation. His fingers traced slow, featherlight patterns on her back, sending tiny shivers through her body. His lips brushed against her temple, then trailed lower to her jaw, leaving a searing path of warmth in their wake."Stay with me, please," he whispered, his voice deep and velvety. His hands wandered, slipping beneath the fabric of her clothes with teasing caresses. He pulled her even closer, his breath hot against her skin. "I want you, baby!"Athena's

The Piano of Vengeance Twisted Devotion
The rain didn’t fall that night, but the sky remained gray as if it understood that someone was lost in the deafening silence.In the room that once echoed with laughter, Arthur sat alone. The chandelier's dim light reflected dully in his lifeless brown eyes. His fingers gripped his phone tightly, as though he were holding on to the last pieces of hope, now almost completely shattered.Athena’s name was still displayed on the screen. And just like so many times before, there was no answer. He took a deep breath, trying to push down the tightness in his chest while replaying every memory he had of her."Ah, that tickles! Let me go!"That voice still sounded so soft in his ears—the way she giggled as he kept kissing her neck. The echo of her laughter was something he could never forget. Her gaze and her smile always warmed his heart, as if he could still feel them now."Where are you now?" he murmured, barely audible. "Why did you have to leave without a word? Didn’t you say you loved s
The Piano of Vengeance The Unwanted Morning
"Baby...."When Arthur opened his eyes the next morning, the first thing he reached for was her—soft skin, steady breath, that familiar warmth he’d grown addicted to. But his hand touched only the cool, empty sheet beside him. Frowning, he sat up, blinking through the haze of sleep."Baby?" he called out softly, expecting her to answer from the bathroom.Silence.He waited a few seconds, listening. Still nothing. Throwing back the covers, Arthur climbed out of bed and padded to the bathroom door knocking lightly."Baby? You in there?"No answer.A chill crawled up his spine as he slowly pushed the door open. Empty. Pristine. The room smelled faintly of her perfume, but there was no trace of her presence. No running water. No voice calling back.He turned around, eyes scanning the bedroom again. Her clothes
The Piano of Vengeance One Final Symphony
Athena closed her eyes for a moment as she said her wish. She begged deeply from the bottom of her heart. She hoped that her prayers would be answered soon so that her days could continue to run normally like today."You're incredible!"Arthur's voice suddenly broke the momentary silence that almost brought tears to her eyes. She quickly smiled, before finally looking closely at the handsome face beside her with her fingers still finishing the melody."Don’t say that, prince.""I mean it. Watching you like this... I feel like I’m seeing magic!"Athena laughed for a moment, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. She let her fingers linger on a final note. Her voice softened. "I wouldn’t be here like this if it weren’t for you. I don’t think I’d have found the strength, the will... the music again. You never gave up on me, even when I gav
The Piano of Vengeance The Last Surprise
Tears began to fall again as Athena nodded. She clutched both of his strong arms that were still wrapped tightly around her body, taking a deep breath before fully turning to face the man before her."I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you too, prince," she said, her voice shaky as she tried to hold back the ache in her chest. "So deeply that I can’t stop thinking about you every single second of my life!"With their foreheads pressed gently together, Athena and Arthur finally shared a kiss. It was soft and calming, surrounded by the beauty of the setting sun. Their silhouettes lingered at the edge of the ship, bathed in the golden glow of warm, fading light."I… I need to use the restroom!"As the kiss turned hotter, Athena gently pulled away with her voice breathless. Arthur frowned slightly before finally letting out a small laugh."Again?"&nbs
The Piano of Vengeance The Drama I Never Asked For
Athena flinched at the sharp tone on the other end of the line. Her throat tightened, but she still tried to respond with a measured voice."I know, and I'm sorry. I didn't mean to delay anything. I just... I got caught up in—"["Spare me the drama!"] The voice cut her off again—cold, commanding, unforgiving. ["You think an apology will fix everything? I don't need your sorry. I need results. You promised to prove yourself, and so far? You're falling behind!"]"I just needed a little more time," Athena whispered, swallowing the knot in her throat. "Please… I—"["You don’t have more time! You only have a few hours left. I made it clear. Get it done and don’t forget to take the pills I gave you. You can’t afford mistakes now, not when things are this close. You know what’ll happen if you mess this up!"]There was a beat of silence as
The Piano of Vengeance Strings of Control
"Damn it! She really is a control freak!"Crystal could no longer hold back her frustration after the woman beside her had truly left. She shot an annoyed glance at her biological mother, who hadn’t defended her earlier, then narrowed her eyes even more sharply when she turned to Leon—who was sitting silently as if lost in deep thought."Why does it feel like she’s known you for a long time? Were you two close before? Or… was she your ex or something?"Leon returned her gaze, expressionless, before slowly pushing his chair back. "I think this meeting is over, isn’t it? I’d like to head home now. If you all want to stay, that’s up to you.""You... you’re seriously ignoring my question?" Crystal gasped in disbelief, her eyes narrowing even more as her breathing grew heavier. "You’re going to see her, aren’t you? Don’t forget, Leon. My r
The Piano of Vengeance The Calm Before the Flame
Athena breathed, as tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, caught between joy and release.They moved together, slowly at first, learning each other’s rhythms like a love song only they could hear. The world faded around them, replaced only by the shared warmth of skin and the silent thunder of feeling too great to be spoken aloud.In that moment, there was no past pain, no burden of secrets or fears. There were only the two of them—raw, real, and whole.Their whispers became promises. Their sighs became prayers."You are everything!" When they reached the height of their union—when time itself seemed to stand still—Arthur cupped her face and looked deep into her eyes.Tears slid down Athena’s cheeks as she kissed him again and again, whispering against his lips, "I love you, prince! I love you, Arthur! I love you, Mr. James! And I love al
The Piano of Vengeance Only the Stars Watched
The ocean whispered just beyond the sand, and a soft breeze tangled through Athena’s hair as she leaned gently against Arthur’s side. The two of them sat on a blanket near the shore, not far from their villa—barefoot, warm, and wrapped in the glow of a fire pit flickering beside them. The night had draped its velvet cloak over the island, and above, a sea of stars shimmered like scattered diamonds."It feels like the sky is blessing us tonight." Athena looked up, her voice a quiet melody. Arthur followed her gaze, then turned to her with a soft smile."It’s because you’re under it!"She laughed lightly, nudging him with her shoulder. "Stop that, prince. You’re getting too good at the poetic stuff!""You mean the truth?"Athena rested her head on his shoulder then, letting her eyes close for a moment. "I used to pray for peace. For moments
The Piano of Vengeance Where the World Can’t Touch Us
"Imagining someone?"The soft hum of the airport lounge faded into the background the moment Athena looked up and saw him. Her breath hitched. He wasn’t supposed to be here. Not today. Not yet."You’re early," she said, trying to keep her voice steady as she stood from her seat. Her hands clutched the handle of her suitcase just a little too tightly. "You told me you’d fly out tomorrow."Arthur gave her that familiar half-smile, the one that always left her slightly disarmed. "Change of plans," he said casually. "Consider it a surprise.""A surprise?" Athena narrowed her eyes. She echoed, unconvinced. "Or… did something happen with Reyna?"He sighed, and the silence between them told her everything before his words did."You always read me too well, dear," Arthur said at last, reaching up to rub the back of his neck. "Yeah... We argue
