2024-10-29 19:42:56Athena can’t tell when she fell asleep last night but it had been so hard to even think of sleeping, all she knew she did was that she cried. She cried so hard that her chest felt heavy and her eyes hurt including her nose.
There was a knock on the door and she heaved a deep sigh, although she slept so late she still woke up early because she had a very disturbing dream and couldn’t sleep again. Taking off the bed covers, she climbed out of the bed and stalked to the door. When she opened it, she saw him, the reason of her sleepless night, the reason of her pain and the reason she had cry so hard last night even though she doesn’t know why.Sean felt his heart miss a beat when he saw her, she looked like hell, her hair was a mess and her eyes were red and swollen, he didn’t know when he reached out to caress her, “are you okay?” he asked but she moved away before his hand could touch her. He was hurt at that but he dropped his handRelated chapters

Augustus welcomed them into his office, “I knew you would love her to wear one of the clothes for tonight which was why I tried my best to make sure they were available.”“That’s very good of you,” Sean replied, leading Athena the couch in the office.“How nice it is to see you again,” Augustus took her hand and kissed her knuckles, “I must have you know that designing these dresses with you in my mind is the best work I have done all my life.”Athena smiled at him, “don’t flatter me but thank you.”“It’s not a flatter but the honest truth.”Normally, Sean would have smiled at their conversation but seeing the flirt in Augustus eyes and the way Athena was smiling at him, the smile she hasn’t given to him since yesterday, he felt the same feeling like the night in the party and was enveloped with the urge of shunning him away and reminding him of his place.

Athena raised her head high on seeing Esperanza and she clung onto Sean’s arm more tightly as they both walked through the part made for them. When they were on the red carpet, camera flashes rained on them and many microphones, phones and recorders appeared in front of them as well as thousands of questions. Everybody wanted to know who Athena was and why she had appeared as Sean’s date, and also their relationship and if Sean has finally gotten a girlfriend.As much as Sean wanted to say yes to their questions and claim that they were dating and in love, he just smiled and ignored the question while he went ahead an announced her as Brand’s new Face. The reporters were shocked as well as Frank and Esperanza. Esperanza was more shocked, so it was true? Gloria wasn’t just bluffing that night? Sean was really replacing her and with Athena? How can that be possible? Why replace her with an amateur? Why replace her with Athena? Anger was boiling inside her

Athena nodded once more while Leo chuckled, damn, why is it that whenever he was near Athena and Sean, he use to have enough fun that would last him till when he would meet them again? He sat back and relaxed on his chair, waiting for the machine to come up, oh he just can’t wait.As they waited, Sean and Leo bid on three different items which they have no mind of taking home and just concluded to let them have their items back and just make the payments. Finally, the time Leo has been waiting for arrived and he couldn’t keep the smile off his lips, he glanced at Frank who was happy and ready to start his bidding and shook his head softly, if only he knows what was coming for him. Not only the fact that Athena would be bidding with five dollars extra but also the embarrassment Frank would sustained during the process, he almost felt sorry for the poor boy.The auctioneer began, “and right now, we have the Malcolm Schick’s legendary sewing machine, t

Soon, the auction ended and Sean, Leo, Athena and Gloria stood up to leave, they avoided using the front door since it was clustered with reporters and the leaving guests whose fans were also waiting to catch a glimpse of. Seeing the door from the inside that leads to the lobby which would lead to the reception of the hotel, they strode towards it. On getting there, right before Sean could open the door, they heard whisperings and it wasn’t hard to identify the voices, one was Frank and the other was the auctioneer.“You have to understand, there is no way I can pay a million dollars for that machine,” Frank was saying.“I’m sorry Mr. Jones but there is nothing I can do, everyone heard you make the bid, it would be hard saying otherwise. Mrs. Brick is the vendor and as she heard you make the bid, what will I tell her when I don’t give her the exact amount that was bid on her item? I have a reputation to keep.”“A million

Not able to get the answer, Sean glanced at Athena, with the street lights, he could be able to see that her eyes were closed and he wondered if she was asleep, he leaned a little closer to her and gazed on her beautiful face, she was more beautiful than the first time he had seen her, and with that he wondered why she couldn’t see the fact, why can’t she see that he is the only man that can take care of her, why can’t she be like other women and go where the money is? But that little difference was what attracted him to her in the first place, how she was different from every other women he had known.Many women would admit to loving him now but only he knew that more than half of them were interested in his money, they love his money and not him. And when he had seen her that night in the club, while a lot of women would have jumped into his arms on first glance, she didn’t even know who he was and had treated their first night as a mistake while someo

Athena woke up to the sound of her phone’s ringtone; she stretched on the bed and reached to pick the phone up on the bedside cabinet. She didn’t bother to check who was calling and just picked the call and placed the phone on her ear while fighting back a yawn, “hello?”“Hey girl,” TB’s voice sounded on the other side, “you did well last night,” he laughed, “you and Sean really deserve to be together, you are two devils,” he chuckled.Athena sighed; of course what happened last night would already be in the papers, why not with all the reporters that were there. She smiled faintly and replied, “it was all Sean’s idea.”“I know but the way you played along with it made it amazing, you should see how you were sexily calling out bids with only five dollars extra,” he laughed, “honestly, I hate not being there to witness it myself but it’s okay, I’m glad I go

Athena tucked her hair that got in her face behind her ear, “I asked us to meet because you said there is something you want to tell me and I remember that I promised to call you when I am free, and this is it, I am free, so, what do you want to talk about.”“Athena,” he sighed, “please, don’t be cold with me.”“Really, that’s what you want to talk about? Need I remind you that you were the first one to be cold? You broke up with me in the street, all because I attended your fashion show and you didn’t want to be seen with me because I was dressed poorly. You didn’t bother to know what became of me, if I got home safely. Then when I came to you two weeks later, you embarrassed me by calling me a beggar repeatedly, then you said to your friends that I am a mother who pleaded with you to give me some money in order to feed my kids and since then I have refused to let you be. You used your fame against me, tell

Sean didn’t return home immediately after work, for some reason, he doesn’t want to see Athena. He knew TB was back, he had dropped by at the office before going home. He went to one of his best exclusive bars where only the top notches are seen. He sat at the bar, not bothering to order for a private room, he ordered for whiskey and the bartender attended to him immediately. It has been so long he drank in a bar, after meeting Athena; he has not been in a bar again. He had been busy and didn’t bother to search for her, he had believed she would come find him; they all do after spending a night with him.So he had traveled out of the country to meet Leo as well as attend a business meeting together, but what he didn’t expect was for his mind to be dominated by the young, innocent girl he had shared a drink with and spent the night with. She was everywhere in his mind, he has never thought about a lady so much. He often browse through the internet, watchi

“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

Reporters clustered the hotel that would be used for Fashionista’s fall, all of them speaking in front of their cameras to explain what was going on as they waited for the celebrities to arrive. With each car that stopped in front of the red carpet, fans would go wild with screams if it was their idol that arrived.It was explained that nothing brings the celebrities together like Fashionista’s fall, because even those that were on vacation always come back for it and some celebrities comes from other countries to attend the show.Different types of cars stops to discharge different people, all arising shouts and screams from the onlookers that were being held by barricade not to jump out and cause a mess, although securities would hold back those who tries to escape.

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
