2024-10-29 19:42:56Two days later, Athena woke up in the middle of the night after having a bad dream, she lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling in the dark room, she was panting, trying to catch her breath after the dream. She grew thirsty and removed the covers and got down from the bed, she turned on the light to notice that her water-jug was empty so she picked it up and left the room to fill it up. On the staircase, she heard faint melody, she followed the sound to the living room and the closer to get, the louder the music.
She pushed open the door and was surprised how loud and clear the melody was, that was when she knew it was the piano, she walked a little further into the living room to see Sean, he was sitting with his back to her and he was still dressed in his office clothes. Athena was surprised, she had stayed up waiting for him but he didn’t come back so she went to bed and now he was playing the crystal piano and making a very sad melody.She stood near the curtain,Bab terkait

The day was lonely and sad, Athena stayed mostly in TB’s room and fell asleep after asking him uncountable times to tell her what was wrong with Sean but he would always respond with, “that’s not my story to tell, At.”She shared the dinner with him downstairs and dinner had never been so boring and sad, it came to a point that she even wished to go back to the day that Esperanza was around than to be sitting there without Sean. The more she missed his presence, the more she was worried why she cared so much and why even after the way he treated her, she still wants to go back to his room and try to make him feel better from any pain he was going through.As she walked to her room in the night, she stopped on his floor and contemplated on going to check on him again but remembering TB’s words that she should leave him alone; she heaved a deep sigh and continued to her room. Lying on her bed, it was so hard to get her thoughts in one place and

Sean was at lost when he saw her tears; did he hurt her badly yesterday that she was deeply affected by it? Or is his apology too simple to be compared by how traumatized she was? For once in his life, he doesn’t know what to say to calm a woman. Not knowing what else to do, he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, “I’m really sorry, Athena, I promise that whenever I will be in such mood again, I won’t be at home so that you won’t walk in on me, it’s a promise.”Athena shook her head when she heard that, “you don’t have to run away, what better place to cry out your sorrow than in your own home?” She choked out.“But if I was away, you wouldn’t have seen me and I wouldn’t have hurt you and you wouldn’t be traumatized by it.”“I’m not traumatized,” she answered, releasing herself from his hug to look into his beautiful hazel eyes.“Then why

The man sitting on the couch on the left hand side of Sean was the first person to show any reaction, he had beautiful long black hair which he packed in a low ponytail, he had intelligent black eyes that sparkled in the room and the attire he was dressed on spoke of great quality. He smiled as he looked from Sean to Athena and then back at Sean, “if it isn’t Sean Brand,” he grinned, “long time no see old friend.”Sean smiled and placed his hand at the small back of Athena, he led her towards the man just as Frank stood up, “Leo, if it isn’t great to see you here in Chicago then I wonder what else would be,” he shook his hand.“Good evening, Mr. Brand,” Frank greeted with a little nod.Sean turned to him, a faint smile playing on his lips, “Frank Jones, I can’t say if it’s nice to see you because technically I wasn’t expecting to see you.”“That’s on me,” L

Back at the restaurant, Frank couldn’t even identify what he was eating with the taste and had to look down at his plate continuously to remember. All his attention was on the two people eating opposite him. Sean is dating Athena? That was the most repeated question in his mind, but how, when and why? How is that possible? When did it start? Why is he dating her? For goodness sake, Sean can have any woman he wants on his bed, so many pretty ladies are his models and all without being told has a crush on him, so why, why would in all those women he would pick Athena? The classless, poor and dirty girl who has lived all her life in the slums, why her? Could there be that there is something about her that he doesn’t know off and Sean does? Could she magically be the daughter of a rich man and her father he knows of wasn’t really her father? Is she an heiress to a humongous wealth?Suddenly, he remembered the story Sean told him the day he went to his office, what

Sean walked into the conference room of his company and everyone sitting down stood up to welcome him, “good morning all,” he said, dragging out his seat and sitting down.Everyone made themselves comfortable and a man with mixed black and white hair spoke up, “Mr. Brand, as you know, the reason of the this meeting is because we need to change the face of Brand, as a highly respected company, we have neglected that for seven months now and we have heard the models complaining about it. That’s why we have called this meeting to handle the situation as soon as possible.”“That is true, Mr. Brand,” a younger man in his middle thirties said, “we have also decided that we can’t make Esperanza the face of Brand again. Before you question us, sir, here is our reason, Esperanza has been the face of Brand for three consecutive years now, from the moment she won the best international model, she was literally the only model chose

Athena walked out of the cinema, the movie hasn’t ended yet but she couldn’t stay anymore and also, Sean was calling her and she needed to take his call. She was still talking with him on the phone when she heard someone calling her name and she groaned. Few minutes into the movie, someone had sat beside her and she was surprised when she found out it was Frank. He had tried getting her to talk to him and she had ignored him as much as she could and just couldn’t take it anymore, which was one of the reasons she came out. She pretended not to hear him calling and continued talking to Sean who told her that he was waiting for her at the parking lot. The thought alone was enough to make her forget the annoying man running after her.“Athena, wait,” Frank ran after her, “please, hold on.”Athena turned, putting down her phone, she looked at him with a raised eyebrow, “yes, Frank?”Frank heaved a sigh, licking his bott

Frank was surprised when he heard her words, “what did you just say?”“You heard me,” Esperanza got up from leaning on the car, “Frank, I know your history with Athena but I don’t care what happened between you two or what you did to her, all I know is that I want you to get her away from Sean so that I can finally claim what is rightfully mine. I have not had any relationship since I met Sean and that is because I love him and I have been patiently waiting for him to realize that he feels the same way for me, I wouldn’t want any girl to jump out from the slum and take him away from me.” She sighed and glanced up at him, “the question now is, are you ready to get her back, do you want her back?”Frank didn’t answer immediately, he mulled his answer, does he want Athena back? Yes, yes he does, if a man like Sean wants her by his side, that means she is special and he would want her by his side too. Concluding

Sean knew she was blushing and he didn’t know what to do, he hadn’t intentionally came to the room shirtless, he had just returned from his morning run and he took a shower but he didn’t feel like putting on a shirt so he decided to just be shirtless, he sometimes stays at home shirtless, but it wasn’t something he does often and also, he never expected her to gawk at him. Clearing his throat, he decided to speak up to clear the awkwardness, he could easily go to his room and get a shirt or singlet but for some reason, he didn’t and he wanted to taunt her a little more, “don’t just stand there, come closer.”Athena sucked in deep breath and went closer to him; she stopped a few paces and looked down at her feet. Sean chuckled softly and leaned down once more to change the music that was playing. Soon, Nina Simone’s Feeling good, filled the room with its beautiful Jazz. He placed the other CDs on the shelf and turned to Athen

“Have you ever heard from your father?” Athena asked in the car on their way home.Sean kissed her knuckles with his ring on it, “do you remember the man I excused myself to talk to at the hotel?”Athena nodded; her head was resting on his shoulder, “yes.”“He is my father’s assistant. Turns out Amber’s illness was hereditary, he has been sick for the past ten years, nursing his health back with money but I guess the money can’t save him anymore, he is dying and his only wish is to see me.”“What for?” she raised her head to look at him.He kissed her forehead and made her rest her head on him again, “maybe to apologize? He has been trying to do that for two years now. His wife didn’t give him a child, they had adopted a boy and girl, I wonder why. Anyways, I guess he wants to make amend on what he did, but he made a mistake, my mother might have easily forgiv

Sean sighed but continued, “I took her back home to stay with Amber and I left in search of Leo, we went to my father and I told him about Amber’s case and he threw us out, saying he has no business with his past. Leo had told me we don’t have any other thing to do but the obvious, we had to steal. We attacked different stores that night and were lucky to escape without getting caught. On our way home, we saw a wounded man, we didn’t think twice and ransacked him, taking every cent with him but we couldn’t leave him there so we took him to the hospital and left him in front of it. The money we got wasn’t enough; I couldn’t go in and see mom’s disappointed face so we left. We stayed on the road, robbing anybody we could. We did it for days, five days I think, until I believed we have gotten enough that could take us to the city.When Leo and I got to the hospital, mom saw us and started crying, Amber passed on the previous night,

Athena smiled, “Sean, most of us have done things we are not proud of, but that doesn’t make us evil, I believe whatever it is you did, you did it for a reason.”He nodded with a smile, not looking up at her, “yes, for a reason.”“Well, you have my promise that I won’t judge.”He chuckled, looking up at her then, his hazel eyes shining brightly with the lights surrounding them, “I can feel that you won’t.”“See, even your heart believes in me.”He laughed softly then and closed his eyes, he sighed, “I wasn’t burn rich.”“I know that already.”He nodded, “I have a traumatic past. You see, my family was the perfect one when I was growing up. But then, my dad lost his job when I turned six and everything changed, he began drinking, wasting all his savings in gambling and alcohol. My mom would often try to understand him and w

“Athena, please….” Frank called back her attention and she stared at him, seconds passed as everyone waited to know what would happen. Sean could feel his heart breaking into a million pieces by the second. Leo and Gloria walked out to witness what was happening and Gloria gasped.“What the heck, is this guy stupid?” She muttered to Leo who said nothing and glanced at Sean, he knew about Sean’s proposal tonight but what he couldn’t understand was why he would just stand there and do nothing. He glanced at Athena, silently reminding her in his heart about their deal and that he would not hesitate to carry it out and he would make sure that she and Frank lived in wretchedness.What happened next shocked everyone, Athena took a step forward to Frank and Sean closed his eyes, he knew that would happen, guess he wasn’t more important than her mother’s wish. He was contemplating on how to walk out of there in his shame w

Three months has passed since the fire incident and everything has gone back to normal, the photo shoot took place two months ago and Athena was brought to the limelight. It didn’t help that Sean introduced her as his girlfriend at the dinner party that Brand Entertainment always host after the release of their new face. It wasn’t long and news about her started coming up but there was nothing against her except the fact that she was Frank Jones ex girlfriend, but rather than mock her, a lot envied her because she was the one that finally caught the heart of the famous Sean Brand.Happy with herself for making the right decision and following her heart, Athena had pleaded with Sean to talk to Leo about giving Frank his job back, which she had explained her reason as it was better to settle him and have him out of her life for good for she won’t rest well knowing that he was out of work because of her and that fact was bound to tie her to him because whenever

Sean stood tall and handsome in the white shirt he was putting on, his hands tucked in the pockets of his sky blue slacks, his hair neatly combed and slicked back and his hazel eyes shining brightly with intelligence. He could see them fidgeting and he sighed, then he took slow but calculated steps towards the table. When he dragged out a chair, he saw they flinched and rolled his eyes, he found himself praying they should not wet themselves with him still in the room. He knows why they were like that, they might not be afraid of the cops and could say whatever they want to say, but in an option to be questioned by him, they would choose being locked up in a jail than to face him.He sat crossed legged on the chair, his eyes never leaving them and they hadn’t looked up at him for once since he stepped into the room. He cleared his throat and began, “who still want to be a model?”The two ladies looked at each other and then at him but they looked down

It’s been a month and two weeks since the day of the fire and Sean’s wounds was healing, thanks to the honey and his medications. Enclosed in a room for one month sure has brought him and Athena closer than they were before. At least, they now do what they want without wondering how the other would react to it, since knowing about their feelings for each other.Sean had agreed to Leo’s and TB’s pleading that it was time they return to the city. He has been putting them off for over a week now and Athena had been secretly happy about that, back in the city she won’t have him to herself every single day; he would have to go to work, sometimes work over time at home, and would have divided attention. But even though she was secretly enjoying their unplanned vacation where she was his nurse, nursing him back to health, she knew they really do have to go back to the city. There are some things they need to take care off. Especially since Leo had found

Sean couldn’t take it anymore and immediately turned to face her, putting his wounded back out of her view. He pulled her into his arms and placed his forehead on hers, “it’s just body wounds, it would heal.”“If…if you hadn’t run in after me, if you hadn’t…” she was hyperventilating in no time, “I’m so sorry,” she paused, trying to steady herself but it was so hard to do when she was crying so hard and breathing so quickly.Sean quickly cupped her cheeks in his hands, “Athena, look at me,” he ordered, “look at me,” she finally did, “If I am to repeat that action a thousand times, I would do it without blinking an eye. I don’t care about the pain of the damages; the most important thing is that you are right here, standing in front of me, breathing and fine. You think I would rather save myself but let you die in that fire? If that had been the case, I wi
