Trapped In Shackles Chapter 34 INCOMING SLAP
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
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 36 MEMORIES DISSIPATING
"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
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 37 HIS FEARS
Terrence panicked. He scooped her in his arms and shouted for some aid. "Somebody, please help!"Athena's family butler came tumbling down the stairs upon hearing the man's yelling. "Young master, you're here?" He looked astonished seeing him and his eyes suddenly shot wide open when he spotted his Young Miss, laying in the latter's arms. "What… What happened?" He nervously inquired."Please call the doctor, Uncle Jim. She fainted." Terrence muttered while carrying her towards the stairs. He couldn't shake off the feeling that his wife was suffering into something that he hadn't known. His heart was now beating so fast and an inexplicable fear suddenly crept the hell out of him.The shocked butler then fished out his phone and dialed Stanford's private doctor's number but before that he went on barking his orders to the rest of the house staff to help Terrence to get their Young Miss's room ready.Terrence on the
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 38 PLEAD FOR HER SAFETY
The next day at Stanford's Mansion…The sun had risen. Its delicate rays warmly illuminated the whole dimmed room, peering from the side curtains facing to the east direction. On the bed, laid two bodies. One was sleeping peacefully whilst the other one was wide awake watching over the other form. Arms entangled on each other's body yet Terrence couldn't seem to have enough of being just letting her nestled in his arms. His breathing was repressed as he shifted her on the other side of the pillows. He was so stiff as his morning urge kicked his gut really good. Though he was desperately craving for her, he had to hold his horses and bear with it. For the meantime!Terrence was cautious enough not to wake his wife up as he was aware that she needs more sleep to regain her energy back after blocking out the previous night. This was also the reason why he couldn't get his way to her. He assumes that she might not
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 39 UNUSUALLY SWEET
The day was pleasant as Terrence pulled the curtains off to give way to the sun rays into the room. He gazed at the garden through the window still wrapped in a towel. His memories with her painting in the garden came flashing into his mind causing him to smile.Athena glanced at her husband and immediately went to the wardrobe to find something for him to wear. She didn't have any men's apparel in it but there was a white bathrobe that perhaps would fit for him as she calculated that the butler was about to head in her room after taking her requested breakfast through the intercom.She took it off from the hanger and approached him from behind. "Terrence, wear this. The butler might come anytime soon." She mumbled softly.He cocked his brow tilting his head facing her. "I don't care if he sees me like this." He muttered. "Besides, we've been married for years, what's wrong with me staying in your room like this?"She shook her head and said, "You
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 40 CHAOTIC FAMILY
Meanwhile at the hospital…Hannah just stirred up in her bed when the nurse barged in and checked on her vitals. She rolled her eyes in annoyance as she stretched out her arm in irritation. "Can I leave the hospital?" She asked.The nurse cast a quick glance at her. "Yes, you no longer had a fever, Miss." She said, "Just please be mindful that over sexual activity is not good for you this time around. You're not completely healed."Hannah clenched her fists and glared at the nurse who had a stoic expression on her face. "Should you be this blatant in telling such things to me?" She spat.The nurse shook her head. "I'm just doing my job, Miss. I'm a professional nurse." She defended nonchalantly."Get it done!" Hannah snapped."Almost right there, Miss."The room burst open and Mike emerged with a sullen look on his face. He glared at her sharply while clenching his fist.
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 41 PROVOCATIVE COUPLE
After breakfast, Athena dragged her husband towards her gallery room. They entered and locked the door securely before going to her table filled with brushes and paints. Her hands paused as she tilted her head. "Terrence, the paints had expired. We can't use them." She pouted as a frown made its way to her forehead. She couldn't refrain herself from shaking her head as she checked on the bottles' lids. They almost dried up after being there too long."Told you, let's go somewhere…" Terrence mumbled while gazing at her paintings hanging on the walls. His eyes sparkled as he recollected the memories that bind to every piece of it."Where are we heading?" She glared at him.Terrence strode towards her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind aligning his mouth on her ear. "Honeymoon…" he whispered."Where would that be?""Seaside… We had a house given by grandpa for us durin

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 115 THE FINALE
"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

"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
