Chapter 51 A SWEET DREAM

Athena's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the man's raspy voice over the line. Somehow from the corners of her mind, it brought her a sense of familiarity. Instinctively after a few seconds, she asked who the guy was without thinking further. It took her a few seconds to wait before he answered her question."Tell me where you are and I'll pick you up." He uttered curtly. His voice sounds somehow stirred something through her depths.She frowned as her veins began pulsating in irritation. She seemed to have felt that she was in the same situation before but she couldn't just point out when. "I'm talking to Anton Stanford and not someone else." She gritted out."I'm not someone else. I'm your husband." He insisted. Now his voice seems to sound a little annoyed.Athena ignored the man's rants and directed her words to her sibling according to her ledger. "I'm coming tomorrow, Anton. Can you perhaps pick me up at the airport?"Anton agreed without hesitation. "Of course. I love to pick

Chapter 52 ZENITH MONROE

"She sounds weird!" Anton exclaimed in disbelief after hearing the loud beeping tone on the line. "This was the first time that she called me by my name." He sounds genuinely suspicious about his sibling's unnatural interrogation. He had grown to Athena's weird temper but she never showed such behavior like this. She was speaking to him similar to a stranger and not his little sister. Somehow, he felt guilty for not paying so much attention to her and now she turned out like this while their parents were gone to another country. They had instructed him to watch over his sister but he seems to have neglected their words due to his busy schedule. He felt utterly guilty for that!Terrence gulped his liquor in one go before he forced himself to talk. "Let's have a bet." He proposed. Judging from Athena's reaction when she heard him chiming into their conversation, he was certain that she had broken her promise. She took those pills again and this time, she succeeded in forgetting him. H

Chapter 53 REAL INTENTIONS

Athena had already accepted everything thus she couldn't withdraw and go back on her words. Besides, it was rare for a person to have two identities so she took it without hesitation because she found it favorable on her side now that she was aiming at something. She got plans and being ZENITH MONROE is a good counter for those who loathed her as Athena Stanford.The moment everything transpired, Athena boarded the MONROE GROUP'S private jet and went back to NY City. This time, she was different from being her usual self. She went back as another person. Perhaps because she had suffered memory loss that everything seemed to be so odd and new to her. The flight that usually takes 13 hours only took 10 therefore she arrived at the airport earlier than the expected hours.Trailing behind her, Ashley couldn't help feeling extremely elated. "Miss Zenith, I had a feeling that coming back to this city is gonna be worth it this time."The woman raised her eyebrows in confusion as she tilted h

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
