Vexed 24: Triumphant Smile
Athena’s P.O.V.
“So, what do you have for all of us here, Architect? Aren’t you going to present your 3D blueprint layouts now and explain those to us? The projector is waiting,” Cristoff said in an abhorrent distaste.
Is it just me… o naging iba na talaga ‘yong tono ng pananalita niya sa akin?
Masakit. Hindi ko alam kung hanggang kailan ko kakayaning magpanggap na manhid. Ni minsan, hindi ko inakalang magkakaganito kaming dalawa. I wanted to ignore the hell out of him, but I could not. Gusto kong isipin na nagseselos lang siya, pero wala namang dahilan.
A thin smile formed on my lips, trying to mock him and hide my real feelings here. I was about to answer him when Kuya Liam interrupted.
“Dave, isn’t it too early to discuss those things? This meeting was just supposedly for every one of us to wel

David’s P.O.V.Dave, focus!Athena should be the one walking out, not you!Damn it! I was sure as hell na wala na akong nararamdaman para sa babaeng ‘yon, pero bakit ganito? Bakit ang lakas pa rin ng epekto niya sa buong pagkatao ko?Ang dami ko nang nalagpasang mga pagsubok sa buhay na wala siya sa piling ko. Ang dami ko nang nakamit na tagumpay na hindi ko siya kinailangan sa tabi ko. Ang dami ko nang ipinalit sa kanya sa loob ng tatlong taon!She is nothing to me… and no matter what, she will never be something to me!“She r-really looks like H-Helena. Tapos magka-apelyido pa sila. Is that… the main reason kung bakit gano’n na lang ‘yong naging reaksiyon mo sa meeting kanina? Did you already know her before… as Athena?” Vanessa broke the silence w

Athena’s P.O.V.Whoa! Thank God, it’s Friday!So far, masasabi kong okay naman ‘yong pagtatrabaho ko rito sa EGC. Since the Project Charmed would be starting by February, hindi pa ako gaanong busy ngayon and for the remaining days of January! It looked like I was still in the adjustment period here in the EGC.On the other hand, napapagsabay ko pa ang CD Squared sa trabaho ko rito sa Pilipinas. After finishing the bedroom interior design for the daughter of one Great German Aristocrat, I accepted some new 3D landscape requests coming from France and Switzerland.Hindi naman siya masasabing conflict of interest, because it was one of the items, I made sure included in my EGC contract. Although Dad was a bit hesitant at first dahil baka raw hindi na ako matulog ay wala rin naman siyang nagawa.For the first three days of my stay here, I w
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 27: Something Deeper
Athena’s P.O.V. It was already thirty minutes passed five in the afternoon when I was done packing my things. I was about to leave my office when Evanna just opened the door and stepped in without even knocking.“Since you don’t have your secretary outside, dumiretso na ako rito sa loob. I hope you don’t mind,” she heedlessly said.Evanna was wearing a navy-blue off-shoulder dress, and it looked like she was ready to party. On the other hand, I was wearing an emerald-green velvet-buckle ruched dress with one long-sleeve on the left. My right shoulder was bare.“Knock at least,” I sneered. I didn’t know why, pero nagulat talaga ako nang bigla na lang bumukas ‘yong pinto ng office ko, dahilan para bigla na ring magbago ‘yong mood ko! It felt like I suddenly ran out of breath kahit hindi naman ako tum

Athena’s P.O.V.My heart lurched in fear as I frowned. I was definitely sure that my car was at its best condition when I came to work this morning. I just bought it last month and there was no way that my Honda Mobilio would malfunction this early!What happened?Trying to suppress the dread that was covering me from head to toe, I tried again… but still, I got the same response. I tried again, and again, and again… pero ayaw talagang mag-start! I vehemently twisted the ignition key, pero wala talaga. Doon ko na hindi napigilan ang lahat ng kaba ko sa katawan.Oh my God, please! This can’t be happening to me! If this is some kind of a joke, then this is not funny. There’s no way I’m going to commute on my way home. Shit!Now, every inch of me was already panicking. My hands were e
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 29: Love Is Not Enough
Athena’s P.O.V.“Hey, let me go! Ano ba?”I was still screaming while he was placing me at the front seat of his sports car. Pagkatapos niya akong mailagay roon ay padabog niya namang isinara ‘yong pintuan ng sasakyan. ‘Yong tipong kulang na lang ay sirain na niya ito sa tindi ng puwersang nilagay niya rito? Ano bang problema ng lalaking ‘to?Lalabas na sana ako, but he swiftly turned around to open the door at the driver’s seat. He climbed as fast as he could, sat beside me, and prevented me from leaving by grasping both of my shoulders. He made me stay beside him with his brown orbs piercing at me.At habang tinitingnan niya ako sa ganoong paraan… para naman akong rumurupok at nanghihina. ‘Yong puso ko naman ay mabilis ding tumatambol na para bang sinisigaw nito na siya pa rin talaga ang mahal ko kahit ilang ta
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 30: Friday Night Out
Athena’s P.O.V.“Hey, Athena! Wake up. We’re here!” Someone was gently patting my legs and Cristoff’s image suddenly became blurry to me. I opted to continue what we were doing because I was already in my climax state, but it would no longer happen.With my eyelids still drooping low, I opened my eyes and that was how I came back to what was real! The scene with Cristoff was completely just a dream—that in reality, I was still with Evanna and Carlene.So, what do you expect? That in reality, he will beg you just to be with him again? Don’t fool yourself, Athena! He already moved on from the past, he changed a lot, and he definitely doesn’t need you in his life now!“Oh my God! You have some dried tears. Here—” Evanna handed me some facial tissues. “Masyado ka na yatang stressed sa EGC although The Charme

Athena’s P.O.V.“Hmm, yeah.” I cleared my throat first before I continued. “I’m single, but I have a special someone waiting for me in Europe…” I remarked and all of their mouths were forming an ‘O’ shape, except for Chad.“Nice to know that, Athena! And by the way, it’s really great to see you here. But where’s Nadz? Is she coming?” Chad interrupted as he sat beside me while the other girls continued to talk about their boyfriends and such—the only thing na wala naman akong pakialam.“Actually, no offense meant… but I don’t want to be here,” I almost whispered to him. “My car failed to start so they gave me a ride but sadly, nakatulog ako sa sasakyan ni Carlene. Evanna told me that they were unable to wake me up when we reached the ALeour Residences. With regards to Nadine, she is sick.&rd
Sabotaging My Walkout Queen Book 2 Vexed 32: Recalling The Past
Athena’s P.O.V. Akala ko, makakaya ko eh… hindi pala. Dahil sa bigla at kakaibang bugso ng damdamin ko ay tahimik na lang akong umiyak. My chest even moved up and down as tears streamed down my cheeks in a flash. My shoulders even shrugged. Kung ano-anong tumatakbo sa isipan ko ngayon, hanggang sa napalitan ng pagsinghot at hagulgol ang kaninang tahimik kong pag-iyak. Ayoko pa rin kasing tanggapin ang katotohanan na pilit sumasampal sa aking harapan. Mabuti na lang talaga at walang ibang tao na nandito ngayon sa loob ng CR kung kaya’t malaya akong nakakapagdrama. Sinabi ko noon sa sarili ko na kahit kailan ay hindi ako magpapa-alipin sa letseng pag-ibig na ‘yan. Pero bakit ako pa talaga ‘yong napiling paglaruan ng tadhana? Kung tutuusin, matagal na akong nagpa-alipin sa pag-ibig na wala namang pupuntahan. Dahil sa kagustuhan kong mahalin ng sarili kong ama, pumayag a
