"What is this?"Athena’s fingers trembled as she picked up a photo. Her heart pounded as she stared at a candid shot of her walking out of her stage with Leon’s shadow not far behind. Another depicted Crystal in a heated discussion with someone unfamiliar, her face a mask of frustration. But it was the last that made her blood run cold: it was of herself, sitting alone on a park bench, taken from a distance.She remembered that day vividly. She had thought she was alone. How did this photo end up in Arthur's possession?"You shouldn’t be here!"The sound of the door clicking shut behind her made Athena whirl around. She clutched the photo tightly, stepping back instinctively. Arthur stood there, his dark eyes unreadable. His voice was low but firm."What is all this, Arthur? Why do you have these pictures? How long have you been spying on us?"Arthur’s expression hardened, and he took a deliberate step closer. "Put the photo down and go back to your room, Athena.""Not until you expla

"Okay, make the most of your time!"At midnight, Athena slipped into the hospital, dressed in a nurse's uniform Arthur had provided. Her heart pounded as she moved through the quiet corridors. Her breath caught, when she finally reached her mother’s room."Mom?" she whispered, her voice trembling.Her mother lay peacefully in bed under the soft glow of the bedside lamp. The steady beeping of the monitors was the only sound in the room. She stepped closer, sitting down beside the bed and gently taking her mother’s warm but frail hand."I’ve missed you so much," she choked out, her cries heart-wrenching."I don’t even know where to start, Mom. Everything’s such a mess. Leon... he’s not who I thought he was. He’s destroyed everything!"Athena leaned closer, letting her tears fall freely. This was the only peace she could find. Her mother didn’t stir, but just being near her brought a small measure of comfort. "There’s a man guiding me through all of this, Mom. I don’t know if I can trus

Arthur froze, his usual composure shattered by the unexpected kiss. His grip on her waist faltered for a brief second before he regained control, pulling back slightly but keeping her within the embrace of their dance."It's too far, Athena.""Too far?" Athena smirked, unfazed by his rebuke. "You’ve already brought me into the lion’s den, Arthur. I’d say we’re far beyond ‘too far.’ You don’t scare me!"Leaning in closer, Athena's lips brushed his ear. Arthur held his breath when he felt all that. He couldn't resist pulling Athena's slender waist closer, but unfortunately just as he was about to bend down to kiss her in return, Athena slightly moved away by restraining his movement."I saw your sister," she said suddenly making Arthur stop staring at her even more."You don’t know what you’re talking about, Athena.""Don’t I?" Athena countered, her tone sharp. "She’s the reason you’re doing all of this, isn’t she? You’re not just after revenge, you’re trying to save her. Why hide it fr

"Leon! Did you think I didn’t see how much you enjoyed dancing with that woman?!"The sudden sound of a door opening made Athena and Arthur quickly turn their heads. From the door's opening, Crystal’s voice was unmistakably clear and filled with anger. She entered the room, followed closely by Leon, who wore an expression of frustration.Before they could turn around, Arthur quickly pulled Athena toward the wooden wardrobe in the corner of the room. Without a second thought, he decided to hide there. He deliberately left the wardrobe door slightly ajar so they could keep an eye on everything happening outside."Why do I have to run into them again? Honestly, I’m so sick of this!" Athena muttered quietly, causing Arthur, who was cramped beside her, to smirk slightly."Seems like you’ve forgotten that the man you’re so sick of is still your husband.""Yes, and very soon, I’ll gladly give up that title! Honestly, I still can’t believe I ever loved someone like him!" she hissed, full of c

"I'll be there soon!"Athena held her breath as she noticed the change in Arthur's expression. When he first heard about the previous news, the man appeared calm, as if he could handle everything. But now? Panic was written on his face, even though he seemed to be trying hard to hide it."Tell me, Arthur. Who called you? It wasn’t one of your men at the hospital, was it? It’s not—""It was my man over there!""What?"Athena's breathing grew more erratic upon hearing that statement. Her eyes widened as her thoughts became a chaotic mess, especially when Arthur suddenly drove so fast that he cut through several cars in front of him."Arthur, what’s happening with my mother? She... She can still be saved, right?" she asked, her voice trembling and barely audible.Without turning to her, Arthur pressed the gas pedal harder. It was as though he was racing against time, and soon Athena frowned slightly as she realized the direction they were heading."Are you taking me back home?" she asked

Beep!A sudden flash of lightning illuminated the dark, causing Athena to duck instinctively. Her forehead nearly collided with the seat in front of her as she tightened her grip on the unconscious woman in her lap. Rain hammered against the taxi, the rhythmic pounding a stark reminder of the danger closing in."Ma’am," the driver said, his voice edged with urgency. "There’s a car following us. Do you recognize it?"Athena’s heart sank as she turned to look. The unmistakable shape of Leon’s car loomed behind them. Her pulse quickened, and she turned back to face the driver. "No, I don’t know them. Please, don’t let them find out where we’re going.""Yes, Ma'am. Do you need me to call the police?""No, just… just make sure they don’t follow us. And please, don’t let anyone know about the woman in this car. She’s my… she’s family!"Nodded, the driver pressed harder on the gas, weaving through traffic with calculated precision. He turned abruptly at a busy intersection, the sudden maneuv

"What are you trying to say, Athena? You don’t—""This is one of the pieces of evidence I accidentally found while hiding with you. To me, it’s enough to prove that I’m the one truly at fault here."Shaking his head, Arthur then guided the woman beside him toward his room. He didn’t take the paper Athena was holding out to him. One of his hands moved quickly to open the door before stepping inside and standing there."Take off your clothes!" Athena’s eyes widened before the man continued, "Change into dry, warmer clothes. Night rain can make you more susceptible to illness.""But—""I’ll turn around and won’t leave until I’ve treated your wounds. You’re overthinking things, Athena, to the point where you haven’t noticed the cut on your neck from the glass shards."Athena froze, only now noticing the red stain on her neck. She winced slightly as she accidentally touched the wound. But before she could speak again, Arthur had already turned to face the wall, as if proving his words."I’

"Ouch!"Athena clutched her head, which had suddenly begun to ache severely. Her brow furrowed slightly as she took in her surroundings. It seemed she was no longer in the bathroom. Everything had changed without her noticing, including the time, which now appeared to be midday."What happened?" Athena murmured as she tried to recall the events that had led her there.As far as she remembered, she had been about to change her clothes last night after battling with her thoughts. She vaguely recalled feeling dizzy. Everything had spun for her, and then suddenly..."Oh my gosh, I fainted?" Her eyes widened as she realized another surprising fact.Her clothes—her clothes had completely changed. Not only that, but she felt cleaner all over, even though she couldn’t remember cleaning herself."Arthur... Was it him who did all this?" she said breathlessly, realizing a man was sleeping beside her.Not exactly beside her—Arthur was sleeping in a small chair next to the bed with one hand restin

"Huh!"Arthur stepped out of the shower, running a towel through his damp hair as he walked toward the bedroom. His lips curled into a smirk, thinking about Athena’s flustered expression earlier.He was about to call out to her when he noticed something odd. The room was eerily silent. Athena was nowhere to be seen. His smirk faded."Athena?" he called out in confusion as he looked in several directions. His chest tightened. Something was wrong.Arthur grabbed his phone and quickly dialed Athena’s number. The call connected, but there was no answer. His heart pounded harder as he tried again. This time, he heard it—her ringtone. It was faint, distant… coming from outside the room.That was when he noticed the open window.His blood ran cold.He strode toward it, his sharp gaze scanning the area below. Footpr

Arthur murmured, reaching for the hem of her shirt. His fingertips brushed against her skin, sending another wave of warmth through her."Arthur…" Athena hesitated, her cheeks burning."What is it, baby?" He smiled, tilting his head. "Shy all of a sudden?" His fingers trailed along her waist, teasing. "After all this time, and after everything we’ve done, you still blush like this? Adorable!"Athena bit her lip, trying to find the words to respond, but all she could focus on was the heat pooling in her chest, the way her body was betraying her."Relax," he whispered and let out a soft chuckle before pressing a lingering kiss to her forehead. "I won’t push you." He pulled back slightly, reaching for a towel on the rack before gently wrapping it around her shoulders. "Tonight isn’t the right time for this.""W–what?"Arthur
The Piano of Vengeance Caught Between Heat and Temptation
"Turn around and face the mirror. What style name would suit our current appearance?"Giggling, Athena followed the instructions of the man still holding her close. She turned to face the mirror and observed the mess on both herself and Arthur. But that didn't last long, as a smile reflexively spread across her face when she realized just how sweet the scene before her was.Sweet? Yes, that’s how Athena saw it, even though she and Arthur still looked a mess, with traces of dust and paint smudging their bodies. She momentarily pushed aside that thought, as her focus suddenly shifted to the way Arthur was holding her, looking at her, and even kissing her shoulder.Ah… Athena just realized how close she had allowed herself to be with this man. Sure, they had kissed several times before, but somehow, this moment felt different—sweeter. To her, it was almost like they were husband and wife, standing in fron
The Piano of Vengeance Entwined in Danger
"Alright, overall, I like it. It just needs a few improvements and after that..."Athena hadn't even finished speaking when she suddenly felt the urge to turn around. She only just realized that Arthur had lagged behind her. Her eyes widened in shock as she noticed something about to fall directly above him.Without a second thought, she rushed toward Arthur. She grabbed his arm as hard as she could, pulling him away. The force made her stumble slightly before she eventually fell."Ahh!"Hearing her pained groan, Arthur's expression grew even more panicked. He wanted to get off Athena and check on her condition, but he couldn't move right away as sand and debris were still falling around them."Sir... Ma'am... Are you both alright?" The site manager hurried over, followed by several other project workers.They quickly helped Athena and Arthur up after ensuring that nothing else was falling. Fortunately, the bricks that had fallen missed them. However, they were both now covered in san
The Piano of Vengeance Fractured Foundations
"I want to ensure the insulation meets the specifications we discussed!"Athena adjusted her hard hat as she walked alongside Arthur through the dusty construction site. The sound of hammers and drills filled the air, mixing with the occasional calls of workers coordinating tasks. Despite the commotion, Arthur’s voice was clear and steady as he addressed the site manager."Of course, sir," the site manager nodded. "We've sourced high-density soundproof panels, but if you have additional preferences, we can make adjustments.""What do you think?" Arthur turned to Athena, his sharp gaze scanning the half-built structure. "You were particular about the rehearsal rooms needing optimal sound control."Athena pursed her lips in thought, walking to the nearest unfinished classroom. She tapped the walls lightly before looking back at Arthur."The material is decent, but
The Piano of Vengeance When Love Turns to War
"You’re still as stubborn as ever, Athena!""Yeah, you know what I'm like to you now. So don't ever try to seduce me in this silly way again!"For a moment, Leon's smirk faltered. He exchanged sharp glances with Athena. His breathing was ragged along with his annoyance at the woman until suddenly his grin returned along with a nod of his head."Fine, go ahead and leave. But don’t think this is over!""You're the most pathetic man I've ever seen, Leon!" Athena shook her head in disbelief. "If I were you, I wouldn't dare to show my face!""And if I were you, I would definitely forgive the mistakes of the man you once loved so much!"Without giving Athena a chance to respond, Leon immediately walked away. He ignored the garden he had decorated and even disregarded the bouquet he had specially ordered.Looking around once more, Athena let out a quiet sigh. She ran a hand over her face in frustration before finally leaving the place, her emotions in turmoil.Emotions in turmoil? Did that m
The Piano of Vengeance Bouquet of Deception
Knock! Knock! Knock!"Mrs. Athena?"The next morning as the first light of dawn crept through Athena’s curtains, she stretched lazily. She still feels the warmth of last night’s memories with Arthur lingering in her heart. A soft smile played on her lips as she recalled his teasing messages."Madam, are you awake?"Athena blinked as she suddenly realized someone was knocking on the door while calling her name. Quickly, she wiped her face for a moment before getting out of bed, grabbing a cover-up to drape over her rather thin nightgown."Sorry to disturb you, Ma’am. I just wanted to deliver this bouquet of flowers. Someone sent it early this morning, and your name was on the bouquet of roses."Furrowing her brows, Athena immediately confirmed what her maid had just said. She glanced at a small note tucked inside the bouquet and read it, her curiosity swelling.[For the most special woman on this earth, Athena Rose Waverly.]Her heart pounded even faster as she read those words. Deep d
The Piano of Vengeance Torn Between Two Flames
Leon’s entire body tensed, but before he could say another word, Athena spun on her heel and walked away. She didn’t look back as she entered her bedroom, the soft click of the lock sealing her retreat."Damn it!" He cursed under his breath and slammed his foot against the table leg. The sharp pain did nothing to quell his frustration. Without another thought, he stormed toward his office room, his rage simmering just beneath the surface.The moment he stepped inside, his anger boiled over. He kicked a chair out of his way, then grabbed the nearest object—a framed photo, a vase of flowers, a stack of papers—and hurled them at the wall. Glass shattered, petals scattered, but none of it brought him relief."I take it things didn’t go well?" Edward’s voice was calm but cautious as he stepped into the room, eyes sweeping over the wreckage."She’s slipping away fr
The Piano of Vengeance No Longer Yours
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
