The night deepend but after his meeting with Ben Monroe, Terence summoned his brother in law, Anton Stanford for a drink in Monroe's bar. The latter agreed without hesitation and promised to arrive in just a few minutes. While Terrence was waiting, he poured himself a shot of liqour, drinking it in one go to ease his worries and longings for Athena who remained unconscious when he left the island but he swore from the bottom of his heart that he would come back to accompany her after dealing the matters that she left. HIs mind was full of their memories together but it halted when his mobile phone vibrated under his pockets. He fished it out as he expected that it might be one of Athena's nurses but when he looked into it, his face turned sullen. Disgust filled his eyes as he watched the clip sent by Kim. Without finishing it, he shut if off and resumed drinking. Bang! The door burst open and Anton stormed in. He had his face darkened as he strode forward, taking the empty seat acr
The scared voice on the line terrified Mark hence even if his boss was snoring, he shook him off and this time, he sucessfully wok him up. Startled, Terrence opened his eyes vigilantly, skimming through his assistant's face then his eyes trailed on Mark's hand holding his mobile phone. "Why are you holding that?" He asked, aiming hisgaze directly at his belonging. "Boss, someone is calling you..." Mark said, handing over his mobile phone. "She said, She was..." Without further ado, Terrence aligned his phone in his ears, silently listening to his caller but the line was already dead and the beepings only remain, buzzing in his ears. He sighed as he stared coldly at his assistant. "Who called just now?" "She said she was Athena and..." Mark stammered, looking extremely horrified. "And?" Terrence raised his eyebrows as he questioned further his assistant in a nonchalant manner but down, he wondered if Mark was telling him the truth. 'Could it be that Athena has awakened and th
As Terrence stepped down the bar's exit, his mobile phone held by his hand vibrated. He released out a sigh as he looked into his flickering screen. Kim has finally called! Without wasting another second, he answered it as he walked into the parking lot. "Where have you been Kim? I've been calling you but you-..." he halted as he took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Sorry, I was just worried about my wife. She-..." "Mr. Adams, I apologize if my line was busy earlier. Something happened in the island and I..." Kim stammered nervously as she explained. Terrence chest tightened as he asked. "What happened?" "Your wife bleeds again and they're trying their best to save the baby." Kim exclaimed in one breath. Terrence shut his eyes in silence, feeling his bones snapping out from his cartilage. He felt weak all over as he absorbed Kim's words. His little one was in danger and he was responsible for it! He had scared his wife that's why she bleed again! It was his fault! "Mr. Ada
Though Anton hastened his steps, he still failed to caught the woman he'd run after therefore he slowed down his pace and chose to wait for the driver he assigned to book for his room. He was currently standing beside the elevator doors and now he was massaging his temples as the liqour's effect he had consumed earlier with Terrence kicked his gut. His head was spinning then he had a sudden urge to throw up. He straighetened his back and just right on time, the driver approached him with a card key, his wallet and car keys in hand, surrendering it all to him. "Mr. Stanford, here you go. You may go up." Anton nodded, taking a thick bundle of cash from his wallet, handing it over to the driver as his payment for his services. "Take this and you may go home." He said dismissively. "Thank you, sir." The driver replied politely while taking his reward from his client. "Your welcome." Anton muttered before he ascended to the empty elevator. The driver then left. Anton stared at his roo
Terrence could feel that the doctor was displeased with him. By the looks she was giving him, he was certain that she was really upset but why? 'Could it be that Athena was in a dangerous situation right now?' he thought and his insides felt even more uneasy as he followed her in. He spun his head around and he saw his wife sleeping soundly with a drip attached in her arm. He took a step, about to approach her bed but the doctor's words made him halt. He froze as he felt surprised!. "Mr. Adams, please focus on me so you could take care of her and the baby properly in the future." "You mean the baby, is safe?" he affirmed thinking that he might have heard the physician wrong but the doctor nodded and smiled helplessly at him. "Yes. The baby is safe but I would like to remind you about something, Mr. Adams." The doctor breathed and went, "Your wife's condition is sensitive. If you want the baby to stick in her womb, you better think twice..." He frowned. "Doctor, what do you mean?
Back to NY City... "Ashley Mills! What are you doing in my room?" Anton questioned sharply. "Are you stalking me?" "Excuse me?" Ashley frowned. "I think I should remind you that I came in this room first..." She said as she waved her bathrobe lace in his face, saying. "See? I got proof how about you?" Anton waved his card key right in front of her face and smirked, "I have the key to this room. How about you?" Ashley would like to retort but she didn't know how. In speaking of keys, she has none as she didn't booked a room because she just pleaded downstairs that she would come to get her imaginary so-called husband then after that she would eventually left. She was about to take the room beside their occupied room however, when she scanned the whole floor, this room they currently fighting for was the only one that has no camera lens installed therefore she sneaked into it and bathed. She didn't expect that someone would actually booked for it and it was Anton Stanford whom she w
When Athena opened her eyes, she was greeted by a pleasing ambiance. The mild warmth of the sunrise blurred her sight and not just that, someone was sleeping soundly in her side. He had half of his body bend over by her bed. Athena slowly ran her free hand on Terrence's short hair... He stirred and opened his eyes. He looked at her in daze then she heard say, "Good morning..." Terrence blinked then his eyes widened, "You're awake?" he asked, surprised. She smiled and replied. "Yes." "Thank God!" he mumbled then he kissed her forehead lovingly as he continued, "You scared me so much," Athena's lips curved up as she asked. "How did I scare you? I recalled that my childhood playmate, Terrence Adams have never been scared all his life..." His mouth gaped in shock. "You... You recalled our past?" She give out a nod. "U-huh. All of it," she whispered. "Enah, you mean you also recalled that we..." he faltered as he failed to finish his words. HIs face turned serious as he held her h
Athena and Terrence conversed harmoniously for a couple of minutes before the butler came to deliver their breakfast. He made sure to finish everything in her plate before he proceeded to eat his food then they began watching the big screen where the guests of Mike and Marie's engagement party was focus on the huge fraction of it. As they were on an island overseas, the time zone has a huge difference. NY City was about to hit the evening whereas at the island, is about to start the middlle of the day. The butler came back with trays filled with fruits and milk for Athena and Terrence carefully assist her to eat through the entire time. She was chewing when her breath halted upon seeing a few familiar faces at the monitor going into th venue. Terrence noticed her reaction then his eyes darted at the monitor before he asked, "Are you okay?" "Terrence, those faces. I remember them." She mumbled. "You got your sharp memory back." He'd praised her as he stared at the monitor with s
