4 years later... "Mommy!" "Daddy!" The couple's door was about to collapse due to the twins' intense banging. Athena's eyes snapped wide open, startled with the noise. "Babe, the kids... They're awake!" she whispered half-yelled. Terrence who was currently in the middle of his wicked plan halted. "You just arrive last night from your business trip and I haven't had the chance yet to do what I want..." he complained. After giving birth to the twins, Mattis and Alexis, Athena formally accepted her grandfather's offer to replace his position as the CEO of The MONROE's Group and Terrence also agreed to it. However, during the times that she's out of the country for a business trip, Terrence was left to take care of the kids until she return and he had them enrolled in kindergarten just a couple of months ago. "Mommy!" The little girl's melodious voice resonated outside. "Please open the door!" BANG! BANG! BANG! "Daddy!" This time the voice belongs to the little boy, shouting. "
Trapped In Shackles 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
Trapped In Shackles 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
Trapped In Shackles 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

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
Trapped In Shackles 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
Trapped In Shackles 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
Trapped In Shackles 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

"I didn't plan these all to make you cry, Enah." Terrence said. "In fact, I want to let everyone know how sincere I am to be with you that's why I prepared this wedding to surprise you. The first one was unpleasant, not a good story to tell to our kids so I want that to change..." "I just can't believe that you did these all behind my back." She replied. "Thank you..." "This is just the beginning..." he smiled as he hand her over his hand. "Athena Adams, will you marry me for the second time?" he asked her. "I swear to be a devoted husband to you and a loving father to our kids in the future..." Under the veil, she beamed. "Can I say no?" she bluffed. "Of course you can't..." he chuckled. "You're mine and you can't refuse me either." "Right!" She laughed. "I've been yours since then..." As she took his hand, the old man said, "Young man, you probably know how much she means to me, right?" "Of course, grandpa. I promise to take care of her 'till my last breathe." Terrence swear s
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 114 YOU MADE ME FEEL AMAZING
While Athena was being picked up by her grandfather, Terrence took different cars to the airstrip for the Stanford and Adams family. In two hours of waiting, their jet finally landed. The first to come out was none other than Trisha, his younger sister who camecd[ running down the iron stairs. "Oh my God, brother!" she shouted out. "You look different! What happened to you?" Terrence just smiled at her and asked "How's your trip? Is everything fine?" "Yes, everything is fine." His father, Mr. Adams, chimes in to their conversation. "Dad," Terrence went to hug his father. Then he came next to his mother, kissing her cheeks. "Mom," "My boy..." his mother cried. "I never thought that this moment would actually come. I feel so proud of you, son." His father snorted. "He's going to be a father. When will he man up?" "Come on, Dad." Trisha yanked her father away from her brother and said, "I want to stay here for vacation." Terrence watched her sister trying to divert her father's

Perhaps Athena enjoyed the process of her make over so much as she didn't notice that she had been sitting in her comfy chair for almost three hours. If not for Vincent who came up to inform them that the car has arrived, she wouldn't realize that her husband has been gone from her sight for a couple of hours already. Curious, she asked the butler. "Uncle where was he?" "You mean your husband?" "Yes. Have you seen him?" "Ah," Vincent smiled. "He went to get the car ready for you and he also left a few instructions." "Instructions?" Her newly trimmed brows raised as she asked. "What instructions if I may ask?" "He said that he won't be here to pick you up and that someone else will do that for him. He will wait for you at the venue, Mrs. Adams." Vincent narrated fluently according to Terrence's instructions earlier. "Since that was the case, please tell the driver to wait for a little bit longer." She said without thinking too much. "Alright Mrs. Adams. Please take your time..."
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 112 THE ONE THAT DIED
Unbeknownst to Hannah, her movements were being monitored fom the outside. To make sure that she won't do something horrible during her detention period, Terrence asked someone to keep an eye on her. Even her pregnancy was being reported to him and he firmly instructed that no matter what happened, the innocent child must be born safe as it has nothing to do with what she has done. Therefore when she suggested for an abortion, the nurse shook her head and refused her request right there and then saying that... "I'm sorry, Miss. We're not abortionists. That was against the law of human and God." Hearing this, Hannah laughed. "Do you think I still care about that goddamn law? Look where I am." She said, "I'm here in jail so why should I give a sh*t about the law?!" "Miss," the nurse sighed helplessly and replied, "...why do you sound like you have lost all your hope? Have you known that you might given the chance to come out if you truly show your sincere repentance? You're convicte
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 111 FEELING THE AFTERMATH
Ashley felt her knees turning jelly when his cold and dominating voice rang in her ears. 'What was he doing here?' she wondered. The man's oppressing aura was too much for her to bear, turning the usually peaceful atmosphere into tense. However, this was the area that men are strictly forbidden according to the establishment's rules and regulations therefore she has all the freedom to move whether he likes it or not. Moreover, working hours has long been ended after he dismissed her harshly at the office so why was he still barking at her at this hour? As per their agreement, she has to look and obey him as her boss during working hours but not in places like this. This is the moment of her privacy and she had all the freedom to do whatever she wanted therefore she turned around without hesitation and spoke in an ironic manner. "Mr. Stanford, do you prefer the ladies room now rather than the men's room?" "Miss Mills," Anton glared at her and spoke, ignoring her stunt. "I think I

It was around noon in the island where Terrence and Athena stayed. However at NY City, the surroundings appeared to had just gotten dark. In Stanford Building... Ashley was busy sorting out the documents in her office when her boss barged in without further ado which caused her hands to halt and tremble in nervousness especially when his emotionless voice began to rang in her ears. "Aren't you done yet? What took you so long?" Anton asked her coldly. She swallowed hard before she replied. "Y-yes, Mr. Stanford. It was done now." "Put them all in the safe." He barked. "Hurry up! We don't have much time left!" Ashley nodded as she stood up. In one swift, she took all the documents from her table then she scurried out, heading towards the CEO's office. Anton eyed her sharply while following behind. When she reached inside, she bit her bottom lip in frustration while scolding herself in silence. 'Ashley Mills! How fool are you to forget that he was the only person who has the acces

"You chose to enter that school because of me and I feel secretly glad but seeing you surrounded by some..." she sighed, halting while fidgeting her fingers as she continued. "Hannah, from the very start, I know why she tries to get close to you. She developed a deep attraction towards you." "I don't dwell about the past. Don't take me wrong." She rea
