Trapped In Shackles Chapter 54 TEXT MESSAGES
Ding!Athena had just arrived at Monroe's ancestral home when Terrence sent her an address. She opened the message and read through the content as she stepped down from the limo. She had her eyes glued on her screen the whole time until she reached the foyer."I'll see you at 345 N Lemon St. Ocean Breeze Villa in an hour." His message was demanding.She realized that the location he sent was one of their conjoined properties where they stayed together just a week ago before everything turned out of control according to what she had written on her ledger . She didn't want to step into that place again as it only brought endless turmoil in her mind thus she typed and sent. "I can't.""Why not?" He replied."Send me another location." She demanded, refusing to answer his question."This is the only place I know where we could talk in peace." He replied shortly.Athena's fingers trembled in irritation as she typed another message to counter on him. "Should I choose a good place for us to
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 55 IN LAWS
Hearing such blatant explanation, Athena pursed her lips and swallowed silently. Somehow, deep in her heart she felt extreme bitterness for some unknown reason. 'Why do I feel like this? Why does my chest hurt so bad?' she thought inwardly while chewing all his simple words. Her hand reached for her chest, rubbing it unconsciously in a daze.Terrence noticed her little movements and suddenly became worried. "Are you okay?" He asked as his eyes followed her hand that kept on rubbing her heart's location. A light glinted past his eyes as somehow he realized something with her reaction. Could it be that she felt even a little uncomfortable because of his words? Though he seems unsure, he was hoping for the best thus he felt a little better because of it. At the very least, his heart had slowly calmed down and pacified."I'm fine." She replied shortly and after a few seconds, she managed to gather herself together. Displaying an indifferent look, she looked at him dead in the eye and spo
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 56 MAKE HIM GO NUTS
Terrence paused on his movements and stared at her. Somehow, deep within, he felt relieved after hearing her words as he himself couldn't actually imagine if their divorce would take place… He had plenty of thoughts swirling inside his head and it was all about her… Whatever he was planning behind her back, it was also dedicated to her… Everything has gone clearer now and he realized his mistakes. Hence, he wanted to make it up to her by doing something big… A huge surprise for her…He sighed deeply as he seated on the bedside closer to her. "Perhaps we can reach an agreement rather than getting a divorce… what do you think?" He proposed more similarly like a businessman rather than a husband talking to his wife...Athena blinked her eyes and stared back at him. Their gazes locked within a few seconds before she opened her mouth to speak. "I seemed to sense something odd…" she mumbled, sounding rather suspicious. Her eyes never left his face as she went on, "... aren't you supposed t
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 57 MIKE DUMPED HER
The following day…It was friday. The sun had fully risen, dividing its rays in full blast as well as Athena, dressed in her office business attire ready to strike a rundown of Ashley's report…She had her hair blown dry cascading to her back, face fixed with light makeup. Her plump lips are cherry red giving a sexy yet dangerous and alluring aura at a glance… As she gazed at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help smirking when she recalled the events that happened last night.*** Flashback***Athena was about to turn left to head back to Monroe's ancestral home when her mobile phone's constant vibration caught her attention. Once again, she stepped on her brakes and halted on the roadside to have a look. Her flickering screen displayed - Mike calling in the caller ID. Feeling curious about what the guy was about to say, she pinched the answer mode aligning it in her ear. "Mike Wilson," she mumbled stoically."Where are you?" He asked. His voice sounded indifferent towards her
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 58 HIS INEXPLICABLE OUTBURST
Athena was stunned at Terrence's sudden outburst over the phone. She didn't know why he said such words but somehow her insides felt uncomfortable hearing them. It stirred something forming into odd knots that seemed twisting her gut for unknown reason. Just what had she done to earn his emotional turmoil in such an early morning? She was really confused to death thus she remained silent, listening to his accusing remarks."I know what you think. That I deserve all of these!" He continued to babble. "Yeah, I definitely deserve this treatment from you!" She shut her eyes and inhaled sharply, suppressing the urge to nag at him because it would only add fuel to his anger. She remained silent on the other end until he felt satisfied, berating her."Why aren't you saying anything? Talk to me, Athena." He demanded haughtily."Are you done?" Was her cold and short inquiry."I'm not. You have to see me right now." He demanded."Mr. Adams, what's wrong with you? Have you eaten something wrong
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 59 SURPRISINGLY SURPRISED
The whole day passed by in a blur…The office hours had ended… Streetlights gradually brighten up every dim road.Athena was getting ready for the night. She had Ashley assigned to choose her outfit. From the dress, set of jewelries, heels and even her purse. As long as she looked dignified, she didn't care about whatever design and color she had chosen for her… She just requested one thing, that her long hair should be left down as she didn't feel like keeping them up together in her scalp. It was just a simple dinner and nothing else so why does she have to make some fuss over her appearance? "You look perfect in a red off shoulder, Miss Zenith. The black heels matched the dress as well…" Ashley complimented honestly.Athena gazed at herself in her huge dresser mirror intently searching for something unusual on her face. After a short while, she chuckled. "I'm not actually fond of red but I appreciated this… It looks good on me.""You look like a goddess, Miss Zenith." Ashley prais
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 60 A GENUINE STANFORD
The entire Wilson family turned speechless and dumbfounded. Their mouths gaped in shock and astonishment. At that moment everything seemed to freeze. The surroundings were eerily silent.Terrence remained silent, displaying a nonchalant expression on his face as he watched his wife's little astounding scene. Her entire appearance today brought him an immense amount of desire seeing her creamy shoulder overlapping her red off shoulder dress. His hands were itching to grab and take her out of the room to tear off her clothes that covered his crazy possession.Deep down, he was satisfied with those people's priceless reaction, especially Hannah and his stepbrother, Mike Wilson. The woman sitting beside him also looked suspicious as she kept fidgeting anxiously. One could suspect that she might have been pricked with invisible pins and needles. Her stance showcased a terrified look according to her body language and reaction since she saw Athena entering the private room. He had been eye
Trapped In Shackles Chapter 61 RIVALS' FACE OFF
Marie secretly clenched her fists under the table making a mental note to get rid of anyone who stood like a thorn in her way to achieve her happiness. Who would have thought that Athena Stanford was indeed one of the biological descendants of Stanfords? She recalled the man's words during that time when she tried to pursue him, killing the latter. The look on his face seems like he was genuinely horrified as he refused to accept another deal to finish their job. His warning echoed in her ears… 'She is heavily guarded by the Stanfords bodyguards.'Now she finally understands why. That was because Athena was a precious jewel after all… A slight smirk made its way to her lips as she formed a quick plan to benefit the truth as an advantageous opportunity. With that thought in mind, she finally felt better, shutting herself off to oblivion. She concentrated on eating her food, pushing aside the fact that she had already given the warning earlier.Mike on the other hand couldn't bear watch

"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."

Trapped In Shackles Chapter 113 STILL HAVE A YEAR
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

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
