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.

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

"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

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

"Ah, that… That was actually just—"Knock! Knock! Knock!"Excuse me, Sir. Someone is here to see you downstairs."Letting out a quiet sigh, Arthur suddenly felt fortunate that one of his subordinates had called him from outside. His heart had almost started pounding hard. He quickly took the piece of paper from Athena’s hand, kissed her forehead briefly, and swiftly tucked the paper away elsewhere."It's just some extra vitamins for me. I asked for them myself because I’ve been having trouble sleeping lately.""Really? You’re not lying, are you?" Athena asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.Nodding, Arthur kissed her forehead again. But this time, he also embraced her before planting a brief kiss on her lips."I want to take a shower before meeting the others downstairs," he said, changing the subject. "La

"Ah, those reporters. Why so early in the morning like this?"The driver who brought Athena to the office let out a small sigh as he realized the obstacles in front of him. He immediately faced his employer at the back for a moment, waiting for instructions on what to do next."Go through the main door as usual," Athena finally gave the order.The driver sitting in front of her then nodded and immediately gave the code to several office security officers who were approaching to give way to his boss.The morning sun cast a golden glow over the towering glass structure of Athena’s company headquarters. Stepping out of her car, she took a deep breath, straightened her blazer, and walked through the grand entrance with a newfound determination.After everything she had endured with Leon, she was finally back—stronger, wiser, and ready to reclaim control of her life.

"That’s a generous offer!""Of course, I don't do anything if it's not profitable!"Athena’s instincts urged her to be cautious. This woman—whoever she was—hadn’t just stumbled into her office by chance."But investment deals require due diligence, Caroline. I’d need to understand your business background and what you’re hoping to gain from this partnership."Oh, of course!" Caroline tilted her head slightly, amusement flickering in her eyes. "I wouldn’t expect anything less. I’ll have my legal team send over the details. But I assure you, my intentions are purely business!""Can you imagine the news out there after we work together? Two tough businesswomen, surely the public will be eagerly awaiting the breakthroughs we will make!"Her openness and composed demeanor made Athena pause. She had expected vag

"So? Have you found out everything about that woman?"Meanwhile, Caroline was still awake in the middle of the night, going over the various plans she had prepared. She didn’t seem like the type to give up easily. Her ambition was strong, especially when it came to matters involving her stepchild."Just as we suspected, Madam. She was adopted by a humble couple in this town. Her full name is Crystal Annette Voss. Her desire to change her fate drove her to become a singer, and fortunately, she met Athena, who was able to help her. Eventually, however, she chose to take a shortcut by seducing that woman's husband to get the life she wanted."Clicking her tongue in disdain, Caroline rolled her eyes in irritation. She wasn’t a fan of cheap drama like this. However, deep down, she couldn’t help but admire Crystal’s cunning in executing her devious plans.Even though Crystal ultimat

Smiling even wider, Athena quickly reached for her phone in the small drawer beside her bed. She looked incredibly excited, so much so that she didn’t even notice how messy her hair was."Come here!" Arthur, unable to hold back his laughter at the sight of her, took it upon himself to fix her hair. As he gently tucked the stray strands back in place, he pulled Athena into his embrace once again."Look at this! The Mayor invited us to his charity event," Athena said, unfazed by Arthur’s hands still tidying her hair.How could she feel comfortable? Arthur’s touch was so gentle that she barely felt anything at all.Tilting her head up with a small smile, Athena took a moment to enjoy this. Even though she was eager to share the good news, she chose to wait until Arthur was finished with what he was doing."There, all done!"Without hesitation, Athena leaned forward and planted a quick kiss on his lips as a thank-you. Arthur caught off guard, widened his eyes for a second before swiftly p

"Athena, Athena… Why especially her?"Crystal chuckled again before refilling the wine glass in front of her. Quietly, she observed the expression on her biological mother’s face. There was a flash of emotion in the woman’s eyes. Her face looked tense as if she were trying to suppress a surge of anger in her chest."You’ll understand once you accept me as your biological mother," she replied quickly, making Crystal shake her head briefly."So you’re still going to act mysterious while I know absolutely nothing about you?""I’ll give you anything you want, as a way to show how sorry I am for abandoning you all this time," Caroline tried to persuade her relentlessly. "You’ve felt it over the past month, haven’t you? I can give you anything you desire, including getting Leon out of prison!""And now you know about my relationship with
The Piano of Vengeance The Unveiling
Unlike Athena, who was drowning in uncertainty, Crystal was now beaming with joy as she realized she was being taken to an extremely expensive restaurant.This time, she wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of covering part of her face to avoid being recognized by the crowd like before. From what she could see, the restaurant seemed to be privately reserved for her, and this was confirmed when she saw a couple arrive, only to be politely turned away by the staff.Who had arranged all of this? She still had no idea. For now, she was simply enjoying everything—her freedom, her life, which felt exponentially more perfect without having to work so hard."Have you been waiting long?"Crystal was slightly startled when she noticed a woman wearing a wide-brimmed hat approaching her. She had just sat down, so she certainly hadn’t been waiting long, but the mysterious woman seemed to assu
The Piano of Vengeance The Weight of Love
Athena’s breath hitched. The way Arthur was looking at her—intense, unwavering—sent a nervous tremor through her. She knew exactly what he meant."I… I don’t know what you’re talking about," she murmured, glancing away.Arthur let out a quiet chuckle, though there was little amusement in it. He reached out and took her wrist, his touch warm but firm. "Come here."She hesitated for a moment, her body refusing to move despite the silent plea in Arthur’s eyes. But then, as if drawn by an invisible force, she finally stepped closer and sat beside him. The bed dipped under her weight, and almost immediately, Arthur's arm curled around her shoulders, pulling her in.Her entire body stiffened at the contact. The heat of his body, the scent of his cologne—everything felt overwhelming. And yet, she didn’t pull away. She couldn’t."Tell me." Arthur tilted his head slightly, studying her face, his fingers absentmindedly tracing small circles against her arm. "What did Reyna say to you earlier?"

Arthur flinched, his eyes darkening with a mix of pain and frustration. But before he could respond, Athena reached across the table, placing her hand over his."I’m not going anywhere," she said firmly.Reyna’s expression wavered for a split second before she scoffed, standing abruptly. "We’ll see!"Just as Arthur was about to intervene, Reyna suddenly gasped, knocking her glass over. Water spilled onto her dress, and she groaned dramatically."Oh no!" she muttered, shooting a glance at her brother. "Looks like I need help?""Let me help you, Reyna. Be careful, I—""Let her clean it up herself!" Arthur cut in firmly, stopping Athena in her tracks by grabbing one of her hands."But Reyna needs help, she—""She caused this mess herself, dear. So it'd be best if you just come back to our ro

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

"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

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.
