"But first, mommy has a question for you, okay?"Astraea nodded immediately."What did you think about the guy earlier?" She was nervous about what her daughter would answer."Uncle Zeus?""Uh... Yes, you still remember his name?" She asked her daughter in shock because she thought she had forgotten Zeus' name."Yes, mommy, I still remember his name. And to answer your question, mommy, at first I liked her because he helped me at the mall, but what I saw earlier made me hate him, "Astraea said while pouting."You can't hate him, baby," she said.Astraea got up from lying down and looked at her while frowning, "Why is that, mommy? He shouted at you and he made you cry too."She sighed at what her daughter said. It was like what had happened earlier could not be erased from her daughter's mind. This was harder than she thought."You know what, he saved your life." She saw Astraea was stunned by what she said."What do you mean, mommy?""Remember when you fell down the stairs? You needed
When they arrived at the Herreras' house, she immediately roamed her eyes around the whole house. It still hasn't changed. It's still the house that she once lived in. And being here again made her feel nostalgic, like all the memories she had with Zeus in this place made her heart swell and ache at the same time."Wow!" Astraea said, and it was obvious on her face that she liked the house."Are we going to live here, mommy?" Astraea asked, and Zeus answered her question."Yes, princess, do you like your new home?" Zeus asked while smiling and caressing Astraea's face."Yes, daddy, it's like a palace," Astraea said happily.She was just looking at the two. While there was a smile on her lips, she could see that Astraea was treating her father well, so she was happy."Freya!" She heard Selene yell, so she turned in its direction. Selene walked towards her with a wide smile on her face. "Omg, you're going to live here again. I'm sure we could bond again just like before. I can't wait f
She and Astraea lay side by side. Astraea's arm was wrapped around her waist. Freya hums while combing her daughter's hair. She was lulling Astraea to sleep, but she was still awake."Do your bruises hurt mommy?" She heard Astraea say. She was thankful that her daughter had spoken because she had been silent for a while. "Did you cry earlier because he hurt you?"She sighed because Astraea hadn't really forgotten what happened earlier."No, your daddy didn't hurt me." She said the truth because Zeus hadn't really hurt her earlier.She wants to slap herself if she hadn't just cried earlier. Astraea wouldn't have thought that Zeus was hurting her. She sighs; remorse is pointless because it has already happened and she can't change it.So instead of blaming herself, she just put on a wide smile to prove to her daughter that she is okay."Mommy, don't give me that fake smile and don't lie to me." She was stunned by what Astraea said and that made her silent.She sighed. It seemed like her
Days passed, and Zeus still treated her the same way. He always waited for her to wake up, and they had breakfast together. Zeus also served her at the table, and she was not used to how Zeus acted lately, but even so, she still managed to act as if it was okay even though she was uncomfortable with it.When she arrived at the Gabriellemo resort site, she was exhausted because this was the fifth site she went to and it was already lunch time, but she could do nothing but work because she had also been absent for a long time. When she saw Engineer Galvante, she immediately approached it because Nate was already grumpy talking to the workers."Engineer Galvante." She called his attention because he was busy ordering the workers.Nate turned to face her, and his emotions said that he had seen an angel when he saw her. "Thank goodness you're here. Don't you know how stressed I am when you're not here? " She laughed at Nate's face; he looked like a child who was grumbling.I'm sorry, there
"Stuck out tongue, winking eyes emoticon!" Selene and Ares shout at the same time.Astraea was happy to applaud when the two guessed the emoji.They are playing "Guess the emoticon" that they just thought of. She was on a day off, but she was still working because she still had contracts to review before signing. She couldn't help but be distracted by the noise of the three."I said it first," Selene said, arguing with Ares like a child."Never! I said it first, "Ares said."Aunt Selene the Pretty said it first," Astraea said, obviously taking Selene's side. She saw Selene smile because of Astraea's bias towards her.She laughed when Astraea put lipstick on Ares' face because Ares looked like a clown. When it was Selene's turn, she saw Ares swallow hard because Selene had a devil's smile on her face while holding the lipstick."I will take revenge on you," Ares said, since Selene put lipstick all over his face.Ares stood in front of the two because he was the one who would take the a
"Baby, can we talk? She said that as she entered the bedroom, she saw Astraea was reading a book while lying down on the bed. "About what, mommy?" Astraea asked while still not taking her eyes off the book she was reading. She sighed and approached it. "It's about your father." Astraea was stunned by what she said, so her daughter put aside the book she was reading and faced her. She would not let her daughter be bad just because of what happened to her and Zeus. She wouldn't allow Astraea to continue her bad treatment of her father. And Astraea is still too young to be affected by her fight with Zeus."You shouldn't treat your dad like that." She spoke softly to Astraea. She didn't want to raise her voice because Astraea might be afraid of her and refuse to listen. She wants her daughter to obey because she knows what she is saying is right."But I hate him, mommy, because he promised me that he would never make you cry or yell at you. He broke his promise, and the worst part is t
She woke up when she felt herself hugging an awkward object. So she decided to open her eyes. Her eyes widened. When she saw that Zeus was hugging her, she looked down, and her lips parted when she saw that Zeus didn't have a t-shirt and they only shared one blanket. She remembers last night that the three of them slept together in one bed because it was Astraea's request.She needed to get up because her heart was beating so fast, as if it was coming out of her rib cage. So she slowly got up and removed Zeus's hands from cradling her. She held her breath as she slowly left the bed, but she gasped when suddenly Zeus grabbed her waist and, because of that, she lay on top of Zeus."Stay," Zeus said as he hugged her waist and buried his face in the hollow of her neck. Her heart was beating so fast, like it was racing. She didn't know how to get out of Zeus's hug, so she did her best to give an alibi. "I need to get up, Zeus; I have to go to work already, and you do as well, so get up,
Her lips slightly parted when she saw Zeus. She wonders why Zeus hasn't left yet. Didn't he have a job to do? Oh right, she forgot that Zeus was the owner of the ZGH company, so that's why he had a lot of time to wander around because his company could run a day without him."What are you doing here?" She asked, blinking thrice when she realized that she had called Zeus "blind."But instead of answering her question, Zeus took her bag and the papers she was carrying. "Are you going somewhere?"She blew the hair that obscured her vision and said, "You didn't answer my question. Why are you here? "Zeus sighed, "Here you left it in my car." It was her wallet. How stupid she is that she didn't know that she left her wallet. "And I have a business here around the corner.""Thanks, I need to go." He took the wallet and her things that Zeus was holding. She had to go already because Beth had something important to tell her."Wait," Zeus said, while holding her hands. "Let me drive you then.
