"I....I don't have anything else left with me except my heart with love!" she said crying her heart out with a pained expression in her black orbs. Staring at her vulnerable state, I went near her pulling her into my embrace and hugging her tightly preventing her from crumbling into pieces. Tears bested up in my eyes too, but I blinked back squeezing my eyes shut. I didn't lie to her saying that everything will be okay and false promises that everything will be better. I stood there hugging her that I would say enough for her and that I'm there for her no matter what!
Athena is a broken girl with only the memories of the horrible past which she hides it from everyone. She always smiles to heal her broken heart.

LIAM KNIGHT'S P.O.V:I just want to forget that soothing and calming voice of hers. Wait! I said calming and soothing right, I must be really insane. She is driving me insane from the moment I heard her voice. I don't even give a shit about girls. I respect them, but I don't know if a part of me keeps on thinking about the incident that happened a few days ago. Fuck!I don't even know who she is! But she already occupied my mind fully not by her face but by her beautiful voice that has been fucking my mind since the moment I heard her. A few days ago.,"You couldn't even finish this simple work which is your responsibility Ms.Stones. I don't even know why are you not even able to do this simple work damn!" I shouted at my secretary. "You better finish off the work and report to me as soon as possible," I said to her. She left with a curt nod closing the doors.God damn! she can't even finish the given work. I rubbed my temples to get rid of the tension rising in my head and the dul
ATHENA'S P.O.V: "Get your ass out of here!" Oliver shouted at me. Currently I am working as his personal assistant. I started working for him as soon as I finished my medical degree. Pretty well, he doesn't want me to work in a hospital preventing me from achieving my dreams. I know why because I deserve it from him. No one knows what I have gone through or going through. I hate working for him to the hell. But still I deserve it. Nobody cares except for myself. My parents they were the worst I have ever had they broke all my happiness and turned me as a broken one as in like now. I just can't get them out of my mind. Everything was fine until my biological father died in an accident. I was so much devasted . That was the time when my mother Melissa married my father's friend Oliver Greene and I just hate them to the core. I thought that my mother loved me but she turned out to be cruel after my sisters death.
LIAM'S P.O.V: Today was the most frustrating day ever.... Owing most of the companies, hotels and investments all over the world is the most frustrating and tired of all the other jobs. Perks of being a CEO. Even though being a CEO with handful of work I can't forget her voice and I wanted to hear that voice again and again. I want to hear her speak and sing for me. Wait what!? For me?! I must have gone insane . Seriously! Liam you really need to clear your mind.
ATHENA'S P.O.V: Tears filled my eyes and my vision blurred. I begged him to stop but eventually he didn't. I just looked up in pain and cried out loud. Crying, that's what I can do till now for all these abuses. My step-father was the one hurting me to the hell and of course my own mother just stares at me in a pitying. I just hate that. I cried because the people whom I thought they love me are hurting me. I can't do anything but cry. I cried trying to get off the strong hold around my neck. I begged. "I'm sorry!" My weak voice croaked. "How dare you ruin my meeting with that fucking mouth of yours!" He s
LIAM'S P.O.V: I was pissed was an understatement. How the fuck they make me wait here for about 20 minutes. What the heck they are doing.!? Fuck the meeting. Fuck the deal. Of course I read the agreement but the profit percentage was low . How even I agreed to this company? With that abruptly I left the meeting and while I was about reach the elevator someone bumped into me. I was already enraged but when I look up to whom I bumped.... I saw her most beautiful black orbs containing so much of emotions, secrets...probably fear of something. Her eyes have the deepest black
ATHENA'S P.O.V: I'm tired and tired of everything the only thing that holds me is her. I wanted justice for her. But nothing gonna happen with my own misery. After suffering for 3 years I'm still a mess. Everything seems to be difficult for me. Each and every minute of life was a curse for me because of what I caused to happen. Only because of me she lost it. I blamed myself for this shit! While I was thinking deeply Avery's voice boomed into my ears. "Yo girl , I know you had a bad day. What can I do to make my Shortcake to cheer up!" She wiggled her eyebrows playfully. She tapped thoughtfully on her chin. I know she would come up with an idea that I would never agree. Suddenly her face lit up.
LIAM'S P.O.V: All I did was thinking about her. Something about her intrigued me. I don't know whether is it attraction or whatever I don't care. Her gaze held so much that I couldn't understand. That too when that bastard rudely behaved towards her. Whatever am gonna do is going to be the craziest. She has the same figure of the unknown girl. Maybe she is her. If she is her I'm not gonna leave her and definitely I will make her mine. I've gone crazy just by not hearing her voice. I decided myself that I should give a second chance myself . I just wanted to clear my mind. Interrupting my thoughts there was a knock on
ATHENA'S P.O.V: "Athena just kill me, I can't bear the pain anymore please!" She pleaded with the teary eyes. Her face is bruised with some cuts with blood flowing away. While I stood there doing nothing . Crying and begging those cruel people was my only way to stop, but they didn't even acknowledge me. She was lying there like a living corpse body full of bruises and cuts along with blood oozing out of them. I begged them. "Please leave us we'll never ever do anything like this. Leave her she had enough!" I was begging , crying and pleading. But everything went in vain. A harsh slap was planted across my cheek and I was pushed
LIAM KNIGHT'S P.O.V: After ten years, "Noah, you need to look after the kids!" Lucas ordered Noah. "Why me always? Ask Alex and Adam to look after them." Noah whined with a cute pout. Aiden chuckled beside him making Noah turn his adorable pout at him. "You are the big kid, Noah. You need to look after along with Alex and Adam, of course." I ruffled his hair. I paused and continued, "I know you will do it because you love them." Lucas smiled at me as Noah nodded and ran away to play with them. As planned, we all were living nearby inside the same compound. Lucas's villa was beside mine and next to it Aiden's was there. Most of the time, we spend our time in each other houses. We all have family dinner together daily with the cute bickering and bantering. It has been years after Noah was born. We also opened an NGO for rape victims and people who are suffering from depression and ot
LIAM KNIGHT'S P.O.V: After a few weeks, Athena's bump was starting to show more visibly. She was in her fifth month of pregnancy and I have been taking her to regular checkups as well Emily too. She was starting to get back pains and she vomits a bit. I was worried about and mom said it was normal during this time. I have seen not seen Emily like this so I was glad she didn't endure this, but Athena was enduring this and it makes me worry about her. Every day I was longing to stay with her. I don't want Aiden to bear all the work pent upon him because of Lucas and me. Aiden said not to worry and take care of them. Rosaline has been helping him with the kinds of stuff in the office as they both manage the company very well. Athena said that the baby will start hearing in the fifth month. Even though she said, I have been talking to them without getting tired. I would place my head on her belly as I would figure out their h
LIAM KNIGHT'S P.O.V: The past three years have been a beautiful and also disastrous ride. Athena came into my life like a breeze who changed my life happier one and a beautiful one. Life gave us chances to rectify our mistakes and of course, if we change them then it's for our good. Now I need to take care of her more and carefully. She is my ray of sunshine just like me in hers. Love does wonderful things in our life. It makes us learn to trust and make each other happy adjust with them know their needs and comfort, be with each other through tough times. If we want to see the colors of life, love someone. It did prove, she colored my life to millions of colors. You all be wondering what happened to Preston, because, we tortured and killed him. I know I'm not the one to punish, but what he did to every girl needs to be punished and the men who were involved in every rape were taken care of and I don't want any girl to be raped a
ATHENA'S P.O.V:I could see the happiness in Liam's eyes flowing out and his happy aura. It was sudden for all of us when I found out that I was pregnant, I was in seventh heaven. I couldn't explain how much I'm happy. I didn't even notice the changes in my body, while Liam noticed everything. I looked at Liam who smiled and drove happily. I couldn't get anymore happier. When he said it was the best day of his life, I lost it. I want to kiss the hell out of him out of all happiness and love.We reached home in no time, when I get out, Liam carried me in bridal style as I let out a squeal."What are you doing? I have two legs, remember!" I teased him, but he chuckled and shook his head."I wanted to carry you, besides you have two babies inside you, I have to take care fo you." He stated as he placed me on the bed gently. He bit his lips from smiling ear to ear badly. I wanted to laugh at him as he was so controlling hi
LIAM KNIGHT'S P.O.V:After two years,I was finally awaiting to attend Athena's graduation ceremony. I was the chief guest at the function as I have to hand over the certificates to the students because I donated for the welfare of this college for years. Athena doesn't know about this and I wanted it to be a surprise for her. In these past two years, our love has come over a lot of obstacles as we were busy with our schedule and things and we still managed to get hold of each other throughout the day. She was there for me and I was there for her. I would just sneak to her college dorms and stay the rest of the night with her and talk with her, share with her, and tell her how much I missed her daily not having her in the office beside me. I know that she has dreams to pursue and I oblige it but her without near me drives me insane a
ATHENA'S P.O.V: We didn't stop after having shower sex, we made love three times in the shower unable to stop our hormones and the urge for us. After tiring sex, we went to sleep for the day. Liam and I couldn't keep our hands away. He would tease me in between with his lips trailing over my hot skin which burns more with the touch of his lips. The way Liam ran over his knuckles on the valley of my breasts teasing more as my body would ache for his touch. He made to feel when no one made feel me like this. He bought something new character in me and I love it. His hot breath danced over my ears while he rasped dirty words in my ear making my core clench around him more. The hickeys gave me marked me I was his and I was off-limits. He will kiss me senselessly making my mind forget everything. We missed each other coping for the past few days. I wanted to spend more time alone with Liam. For the few days in the hospital, we were surrounded by eit
ATHENA'S P.O.V: "He is in a critical condition we will try our best to save him!" I felt the breath leave my lungs and my whole world came crashing down. I took a peek at him lying there lifeless. My breathing stopped at the sight of him. After three hours of trying they are saying me that he is struggling for his life. "What the fuck are you telling me?" I shouted at the doctor. "He is not responding!" He replied averting his eyes. "What do you mean not responding!" I barged into the operation room which made all the nurses and doctors step away from him. "We couldn't save him." They said and everything stopped. I saw Liam sleeping in deep slumber. He can't leave me. No. He can't do this to me. I won't allow him to leave me. I will never let him do this thing to me. I won't and I can't. Either he is fighting for us or I will go with him. I stepped closer to his lifeless b
LIAM'S P.O.V:She was here lying beside me last night, but in the morning she went to see Avery. I was mad and at the same time, I want to ensure that she is safe. After Avery betrayed her Athena was broken and I know she was feeling and carrying it in her heart and showed me through her tears. She has gone through so much no one can ever imagine. The mystery girl I have met a few months before changed my life upside down within these few months. I know that pain in her heart and I felt it and still, I can feel it. Call it telepathy, but to me it is love. We became one soul like we can feel each other's pain in us.In the morning, I was shocked and I thought for a second what if she was in danger and without thinking twice I ran to the cafe she mentioned in the note, but much to my disappointment both of them were not there. I ran and searched her everywhere. This may be Avery's cheap tricks to get her. Athena is still a naive girl she would beli
ATHENA'S P.O.V: I slightly pushed off Liam's head which is lying on my chest without waking him up. Today I'm going to meet Avery and this will be my last chance to try for her. I know she tried to kill Liam, but she would never do it because she did it to threaten me. And also I don't want any of them getting hurt because of me and her. I'm going to go alone to meet her. I placed Liam's head on the pillow as he snuggled into it like a kid as I quickly got ready and left a note for Liam that I'm going to meet Avery at the cafe which she mentioned in the text. I know that Liam would be mad at me, but I will convince him once I reach home. Aiden, Emily, and Lucas too would never like this idea of me meeting her. I told the bodyguards that Liam hired not to follow me, but they insisted to follow me so I sneaked out my way without knowing them. I have an unsettled f
