Trapped In Shackles Chapter 29 FILTHY TONGUE
Terrence clenched his jaws really hard. Suppressing the laughter that threatened to escape from his throat, he swallowed hard and watched Hannah tremble in her spot. His breathing keep on hitching while throwing glances at his wife who looked at his so-called girlfriend with sharp and murderous eyes. After gathering himself together, he cleared his throat and took a sharp breath. "Athena, where have you been the other night?" He was now interrogating.Athena played cool. Clearing her throat and clicking her tongue, she looked up seemingly thinking for a while. "The night before last night, I was with someone and we're having a very fierce fight…" she narrated.Hannah looked towards her direction and scoffed. "We had a fight of course." She tried to play cool and proceeded to do her facade without the awareness that she had been digging her own grave."Excuse me? I did have a fight with that someone but that fight was really on

Terrence felt uneasy. His wife's words sent a weird shiver running down his spines. He took hold of her hand as they walked through the corridor until they reached their car. They both entered and settled on their seats in silence for a few seconds before he started the engine and drove towards his company."Baby, tell me what you've been thinking. What do you mean by pulling them back to the city?" He sounds curious yet uncertain. Hannah must have crossed her boundaries that Athena wants to cause so much trouble for her family."You want to defend her?" She glared at him while fishing out her mobile phone from her purse."What are you talking about? Of course not. Why would I? I told you that I am on your side, didn't I?" Terrence defended himself in a hurry. By the looks she was giving him, she was really mad. Her eyes that used to be gentle while looking at him were now blazing in so much fury. Apparently, she's about to ex

"Are you really interested in what I am thinking?" Athena hesitated for a while and thought carefully of the possible outcome. If he was adamant to know about what she was planning then might as well tell him this instance. She thought and scrolled down on her phone searching for her hidden files. She was about to show him the background of Hannah's stepbrother but his phone rang, snapping them both out from their conversation.Terrence took hold of his mobile phone from the windshield and peered at it. Upon knowing that it was his assistant, he answered the call directly without hesitation. "Mark," he mumbled quizzically.Mark went. "Boss, you have a meeting in 30 minutes with the IS Construction Company.""Alright, I'll be there." Terrence then dropped the call and started the engine as he went. "We had a meeting to catch up, Athena. Can we discuss this matter later?" He was presiding over as he maneuvers the steering w
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 32 THUNDERSTRUCKED
STANFORD COMPANYThe moment Athena dropped her call, Anton eventually began calling his assistant barking orders about his sister's request. He stormed off from his private lounge leaving his girlfriend behind and dropped an order to have an urgent meeting with their company's legal team. He was asking for their statement if it was possible to cut the partnership between the Wilsons. His reason was that they aren't as professional enough to handle their family affairs resulting in offending and degrading their company interest.Well, as part of Stanford's company payroll, they were all designated to find reasonable faults to fire against their opponent and they made a great deal with that. In just an hour, they successfully made it and waited for the outcome. Wilson Company wasn't as huge and threatening anyways.Anton leaned on his swivel chair and closed his eyes while cursing his sister in his mind. He really couldn't under

Terrence's face turned livid when he heard his wife's abrupt confession. His stares on her face were similar to sharp blades, piercing every ounce of her calmness. "Athena Adams, how dare you keep this information from me?" He was so mad while looking at her and he failed to recall that he was clasping her foot really hard."Ouch!" Athena suddenly winced and went on taking a huge breath enduring the terrible pain that she was feeling at the moment. "Terrence, you're… You're breaking my foot, babe. Do you plan on making me a cripple for the next couple of days?" Her voice had turned hoarse as she tried to bit her lips to muffled her painful cry. It was then that Terrence finally released let her foot and throw it down fro his lap. He stood up and went to his frebcvh window without casting a glance at her. He was damned silent and refuses to utter any words to her. He had a cold and straight face while gazing out the buildings. He never know

Mike was now seething in full rage ready to explode at any time soon. Just the sound of Anton Standford's voice who stood to support his sister was enough to tell him that their company problem has gotten any worse than being solved. His fingers were trembling to snap Hannah's neck. Wherever she is right at the moment, he would soon find her and teach her a very good lesson. As he marched out of the building, his mobile phone's fierce vibrations suddenly took his maddening attention. He shoved his hand inside his pocket and fished it out. As he peered on his screen, a furious growl escaped from his throat. "Father," he grumbled deeply under his breath.The other party was obviously shuffling on the other end for a moment that it didn't come to answer him fast. But after almost half a minute, a heavy breathing sounded in his ears accompanied by a man's hoarse voice. "Mike, our accounts were empty. Can you talk to your sister if she could ask her boyfriend
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 35 BEGINNING OF THEIR HATRED
It was around 2 in the afternoon when Terrence and Athena finished their lunch date. Having done so, he drove directly towards Stanford's mansion. The eagerness to experience painting with Athena again was too irresistible for him to ignore. Having been at odds with each other for a long time, he never intended to appear in his wife's mansion after they got married.At that time, Terrence swore to himself that he would never set foot again in that place even if Anton, his friend, would drag him inside. He hated Athena so much down to his bones for thinking that she was luring his parents and grandpa to marry him. They were fond of her and their issues as friends to enemies were pushed aside into their elders' deaf ears. They didn't take their hatred for each other seriously. They were still young at that time and they thought it would eventually dissipate as the time went by. Couple of years had passed and that hatred never dissipated inside him. He trie

"Hey, don't shout at me." Athena warned him while massaging her temples. She suddenly felt a splitting headache while trying to recall all her memories way back. It seemed to her that the therapy was indeed working on her now but now totally yet.Terrence couldn't keep his composure anymore. He felt mixed feelings coming blowing off his gut like a whirlwind. He stared at her and questioned, "Why don't I know that you were involved in an accident when you were abroad?" He seemed to feel bad about her hiding it from him.She continued to massage her throbbing head and replied. "Come on, everything has been done. Why are you trying to recall it? I can't get them back, it only cracks my head." Having said that, she stood up and went back to the car. She rummaged through her purse while her face contorted into grimace.Terrence followed her behind and also hopped in the driver seat. He glanced at her rummaging hands and found her h

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."

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?

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.

"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!
