However, things didn't go according to her plan and everything turned upside down...

Chapter 1 COMING BACK

Somewhere in I city at 24:00, half past midnight, a couple was having an argument in an apartment."Don't insist, Athena." The man hissed. "You know that your doctor forbids you from getting wet. It's freezing cold." He couldn't help scowling, displaying a look of disbelief in his face.The woman shook her head, groaning in disgust, raising her underarm and smelling her armpits, she huffed. "I feel so sticky and I can't sleep like this!"The man glared at her and uttered in annoyance yet his voice laced with tolerance. "You're so stubborn like a child.""I'm not a child." She snapped, taking her things out from her wardrobe. "And don't you dare try to deprive me. You wouldn't win against me." Her voice held a hint of warning.The man looked at her helplessly, pleading. "Baby, please… Just this once. Listen to me. What if you catch a cold once again? You're not fully recovered yet!"The woman shook her head adamantly once again, displaying a determined look in her face. "I'm sorry, Mik...

Chapter 2 ENEMIES' REUNION
13 hours later... Athena found herself, standing in a massive crowd at NY airport, her very own hometown. Feeling lightheaded due to her jetlag, she shut her eyes for a brief moment to eliminate her dizziness before she began to walk slowly with unsteady steps.A deep sigh escaped from her lips as she dragged her suitcase towards the exit but unfortunately, due to her unstable footing, she stumbled along the way. She almost fell on the ground but she was lucky that someone managed to catch her befall on time or she would've been the center of attraction upon her arrival.A pair of strong arms appeared out of nowhere holding her slender waist, saving her from falling heavily on the ground as well as the embarrassment from all the people around her. She sighed in relief, feeling genuinely thankful yet after a few seconds..."Ouch..." she winced as she felt that those hands were gripping her tight and its fingers were roughly penetrating into her delicate flesh producing a dull pain in

Chapter 3 ONE FRIEND IS ENOUGH TO TRUST
Sam had witnessed how Terrence tried to control Athena during their teenage years out of coincidental circumstances, thus he was certainly aware of the guy's reaction to her especially when he was around as he became closer to Athena during the days that she was needing a friend to rely on.Terrence might refuse to admit it but Sam was able to read his actions as an observer. He was certain that he harbored a hidden affection towards the woman because of how he always acted vigilant when it comes to him. He concluded that the guy appeared in denial with his true feelings, after all, they had a big misunderstanding back then. Furthermore, there's nothing more precise explanation for doing such a thing unless the guy felt like he was being threatened over his possession.Showing off his dominant side whenever Sam tried to get closer to her was his usual behavior and he was used to it but Terrence's constant protest barely holds his patience this time. He was fed up with the latter's nons

Chapter 4 REMAIN SIMPLE AND LOW-KEY
Sam raised his eyebrows, amused at Athena's words. "You finally decided to take charge of the situation, aren't you?" He asked."Huh!" Athena scoffed. "Hannah Wilson managed to turn the tables before because I let her do whatever she wanted but not this time..." she paused, shaking her head. "She's going to regret messing up with me…" "You're planning on exposing her?" Sam tried to guess her thought.Athena snorted. "Not just that...""What if he stood in your way? What will you do?""I'll beg the elders for divorce using his stupidity as one of the grounds..." She explained thoroughly.Sam nodded as he smiled and assured her. "Whatever you're planning, I'll be here to support you, Thena...""I know..." She smiled back and went, "I always got your back ever since and I'm thankful for that...""We're friends, remember?" He muttered hesitantly."We're best friends, Sam..." She corrected him with a broad smile before she leaned back on her seat.***Sam dropped Athena at the MS hotel lo

Chapter 5 JUSTIFYING THE TRUTH
Terrence glared at her teary face. "I'm here to pick you up. Pack your things and come with me." He muttered curtly.Athena was drunk but not heavily. She simply glared back at him without any signs of letting him in...His intense stare irritated her thus she gripped the door knob tight, intending to slam the door shut but he was fast to sense her intention, blocking his feet off the gape. Defeated, she turned around and staggered back inside. Ignoring him, she popped another can of beer and gulped it until it went gradually empty."Athena Adams!" Terrence shut the door close and yelled at her as he followed behind. He appeared in front of her in a snap, snatching the can but he found it already empty. He gnashed his teeth and asked. "How much did you drink, huh?"She turned her back from him, curling herself into a ball in the corner of her couch as a shaky whisper gradually escaped from her mouth. "Leave me alone." She rasped. Terrence frowned while watching her. He approached her

Chapter 6 START OVER
"How shameless…" she muttered under her breath.Terrence displayed a smug look on his face as he retorted casually. "There's no such thing as shame when it comes to husband and wife…"The way he spoke, he seemed to have turned into another person as anger and irritation completely dissipated from his voice, replaced by a hint of bantering and teasing…Athena was left with no choice but to take another can from the fridge, throwing it on Terrence's face. "Take it!" She huffed reluctantly. "Thanks," he murmured casually after catching the can flying in the air and began leaning on the kitchen counter as he opened his can and took a huge gulp from it."What brought you here?" she inquired curiously as she didn't recall letting him know her whereabouts.She recalled that there's only two people who were aware of her location — Mike and Sam. Mike was currently overseas… Therefore, Sam might be… Her eyes darkened, astonished at her conclusion. 'Did Sam betray me?' She thought, gritting h

Chapter 7 SURRENDER YOURSELF
'Terrence was obviously out of his mind' Athena thought to herself as she struggled to fight both her inner dilemma and him when he yanked her into his arms forcefully. She was engulfed in his warm hug... It both felt comfortable yet there was a hint of hesitation rising within her. Should she give in to him and let everything happen so easily? Would everything change between them after this moment takes place? These are the questions that kept on buzzing inside her head.Feeling her reluctance, his eyes darkened as a strong desire to conquer her surge through him. "Stop struggling..." he warned her seriously.Athena was both nervous and anxious. "Terrence, this is wrong... We can't do this. Besides we have...""This is not wrong, Enah... You are my wife and I'm your husband. We are legally married which means that this is going to be right..." He stated roughly. With that being said, he lifted her up in bridal style and brought her back inside the room. He threw her in the middle of

Chapter 8 TAMING HIS ALOOF WIFE
"Surrender yourself to me..." he repeated."What do you mean exactly?" Athena's brows furrowed. Aside from feeling baffled, she was also horrified by Terrence's constant pleading. Growing together for years, this was the first time that she saw and heard him acting like this…She tried absorbing his words but her mind went completely blank. It was malfunctioning... She couldn't help thinking that she might have been hearing things... Wrong words precisely."Enah, say something…" Terrence stared straight in her eyes hoping to hear her submission.His heart frantically beat so fast, similar to a horse's gallop enthralling the racing field. Nervous and crestfallen was slowly swallowing his entirety as seconds of silence emerged between the two.On the other hand, Athena was struggling whether she would consider his rants. She finds his behavior unbelievable thus she keeps on racking her brain for some excuses to delay his intentions. Hannah was all she could find and nothing more…"Te-T

Chapter 9 HANNAH'S CALL
 "I know, Enah... Let me get you ready before that... Hmmm?""Be gentle please..."Terrence gazed at the pleading Athena and heaved a deep sigh. "Enah... What will you think of me if I pushed this matter between us, hmmm?" He muttered softly."You want to hear the truth? I think that's not a good idea for now..." Athena mumbled hesitantly. She didn't want to piss him off if she told him how she defined their intimate interaction at this moment. Could she gather the courage to say that she found him odd and her mind was fuzzy that she found it like she was just dreaming? Well... She might be indeed dreaming, right? "Tell me..." Terrence groaned deeply and began to rub himself from where he had currently been settled which on the middle of her thighs while his upper body hovers above her. He was flirting with her and trying to divert her attention to ease her nervousness in accepting him for the

Chapter 10 LIES
 "Athena Stanford! I can't be wrong! It was her!"Athena couldn't help tilting her head and stared at her husband's face. The corners of her lips rose up forming a playful smile while she continued to listen on their caller. 'Hannah must not be expecting that Terrence is with me right now... Stupid woman, she's digging her own grave for accusing me...' she thought with a sneer.Terrence eyes shot wide open in disbelief. He stared at Athena with an apologetic gaze while stroking her hair lovingly. "What made you think that it was her? She just arrived at the city just a couple of hours and now she already knows where you lived? Don't you think that's too fast?" He asked icily. He got the sudden urge to continue with his act that he was still in the dark and unaware of her antics. But what about Athena? Would she allow him?How could Hannah tell him that Athena went on her house and tried to kill her when they were currently laying t
