The Piano of Vengeance Between the Lines of Time
Still wondering in her heart, Athena was now transfixed by the breathtaking view before her.A vast, beautifully arranged lake stretched out in front of her. Not only that, from where she stood, she could see several swans gliding gracefully and birds chirping in the distance.The morning air was quite cold. Fortunately, Arthur had reminded her to wear a thick coat, though she had still forgotten to bring her gloves."Are you ready for a little clue?""A clue?"Athena instinctively grabbed Arthur's arm as he was about to lead her somewhere else. Her brow furrowed in confusion while the man let out a quiet sigh."So, you don’t remember?" he asked, his gaze fixed intently on her face.Shaking her head, Athena met his eyes, slightly tilting her chin upward. "If you're doing all this because I called you a coward last night or anything else I said, then you don’t have to worry about it, Arthur. Last night, I was just—""That’s not it!" he quickly interrupted, making her frown deepen."The

"Your phone is ringing, Athena."Arthur smiled as he noticed Athena trying to ignore her ringing phone. Her eyes remained closed before him. The distance between their lips was barely anything until, finally, he gently caressed her beautiful face before kissing her again."Your phone is still ringing. Are you really going to ignore it just for me?" he whispered, making the red lips in front of him pout slightly.Still unwilling to open her eyes, Athena draped her arms around Arthur’s broad shoulders. When he moved slightly away, she instinctively followed, prompting Arthur to wrap his arms around her waist, shifting their seats slightly in the process."I... I feel so embarrassed looking at you now that I know everything, Arthur. I feel like such a fool!""So that's why you're keeping your eyes closed?" Arthur chuckled, his gaze tracing the perfection of her delicate features.Her naturally long lashes—one of his favorite things about her—were rare in this era. Women like Athena, who

Knock! Knock! Knock!The sudden sound of knocking on the door made Crystal scoff in frustration. Without hesitation, she opened the door, her eyes still slightly wet—after all, it had only been a few minutes since she had been left behind by Leon without a word."What do you want to say? If it’s not important or good news, you’d better leave now before I take my anger out on you!" she snapped, making the man in front of her nod immediately."I'm sorry, Miss Crystal. I came to see you to update you on the search for Arthur. I actually wanted to discuss this with Mr. Leon as well, but it seems he—""He’s gone. He’s a mess right now! So I’ll handle this for the time being!"Edward nodded again before handing her several documents he had just gathered. Inside were some photos of people who resembled Arthur, along with details of their last known locations and additional information. Crystal furrowed her brows as she looked through them—until her eyes widened in shock when she found anothe

"Wait!"Just as Athena was about to step out of the car, Arthur quickly grabbed her hand, his usual calm expression shifting in an instant. His eyes darted toward his phone, which had suddenly started ringing. A name flashed across the screen."Reyna?"Exhaling softly, Arthur ran a hand over his face. "I bought this number specifically and left it at home so I could be contacted about any urgent updates regarding Reyna. They never call unless—""We won’t know anything unless you pick it up, right?" Athena squeezed his hand reassuringly, her gaze firm yet gentle. "Hopefully, nothing bad has happened to Reyna." Even though Arthur hadn’t told her yet, she already knew from the house staff that Reyna had another violent outburst the night before. It seemed her condition still hadn’t improved, and despite everything, she still refused to be transferred to the psychiatric hospital that had been treating her."I won’t be able to come home anytime soon," Arthur finally spoke, drawing Athena

"Arthur...."Crystal froze the moment she recognized the man who had suddenly stopped in his tracks. Her voice was barely above a whisper. Her breath hitched slightly, especially when the man’s gaze grew even sharper as he looked at her."You've got the wrong person. But whatever this is, I can't just ignore what happened here. It seems like you’re the one who ordered these thugs to kidnap that lady, aren’t you?"Shaking her head, Crystal quickly glanced at the two hired thugs standing on either side of Athena. Even though she was still convinced that the man in front of her was Arthur, she couldn’t completely dismiss the possibility that he might be someone else—someone far wealthier or with even greater power than her.From the watch on his wrist, Crystal could tell it wasn’t something just anyone could buy. Its price alone was almost equal to that of her car. And on top of that, he was dressed in high-end designer attire, the total cost of which she couldn’t even begin to estimate.

"No! That’s impossible! What if it’s just—""Enough, Crystal! Are you trying to say that all of this is just a trick? You have no idea what I just went through! I just met with the Mayor! He yelled at me, and I also got a call from several board members!"Panting, Crystal turned back to the man beside her. She shook her head again. She simply couldn’t believe Arthur was dead—especially since, just moments ago, she had seen a man who looked exactly like him.She didn’t care about Leon’s complaints; the only thing that mattered to her was her suspicion of Mr. James. She was one hundred percent convinced that all of this was his game. She had to prove it to Leon, even though last night she had been punished most painfully for provoking his anger."Wait! Where are you going? You have to—""I’m going to prove my suspicions about Mr. James, Leon!" she declared, turning back with unwavering determination. "If you don’t want me to bother you, fine. I’ll investigate everything on my own!""You

"That’s not—""Mr. Daniel, Mr. Steve, please state your reasons for approving this meeting," Leon interrupted confidently, making Athena glare at him even more intensely.Clearing their throats to ease the tension, the two men immediately expressed their disagreement with Athena's takeover as CEO. They were forced to withdraw their support, citing the company's best interests, as they believed it would suffer even more under the leadership of someone who had never held a CEO position before.Yes, this was indeed Athena's first time as CEO. Until now, her late father's trusted associates had been running the company before Leon took over. She had only observed from a distance, as her career had always been focused on becoming a pianist.Because of this issue, the hastily arranged meeting turned into a heated debate. Those who sided with Athena argued that they were fed up with Leon's deceitful ways of profiting from the company. They were also frustrated with how positions were determi

As Athena turned away, Leon's eyes darkened with frustration. He couldn't let her leave like this. Not yet.His future life could be really messed up! His good name has been tarnished in the eyes of the public; moreover, he also no longer has authority and power in this company.Is this the peak of his downfall? No, Leon certainly didn't want that. He still wanted to enjoy life freely, without poverty and the scorn of those around him."Wait!" he finally said, his voice was sharp but laced with an urgency he didn’t intend to show. Athena paused, her hand on the door handle, but she didn’t turn to face him. "You can't do this....""Do what? Finally, free myself from you?" That made her scoff. Now, she did turn around, her expression unreadable. "A divorce will only make things worse—for the company, for the media, for everything we’ve built. Do you have any idea what kind of mess this will cause?" Leon exhaled sharply, trying to reel in his pride. "You should’ve thought about that

The Piano of Vengeance More Than Complicated
"Hey!"Feeling the gentle caress on his strong jawline, Arthur tried to open his eyes. Still overwhelmed by sleepiness, he reached for the slender waist of the woman who seemed to be resting against his chest—only for his eyes to suddenly narrow sharply as he realized who was actually with him."What the hell is this?!"His heart stopped in an instant. Arthur woke with a pounding head and a mouth dry as ash. He blinked blearily, only to see Reyna lying beside him beneath the sheets, smiling like a cat that had just devoured the canary."You were amazing last night," she said casually, brushing her fingers through her hair. "I didn’t think you had it in you. I like it!"Shaking his head, Arthur then changed his position. With no clothes clinging to his body and the body of the woman beside him, he had expected it. But he quickly tried to deny it. "I don't understand. What are you talking about? How did you get here? And where are we now?!""You don’t remember?" Reyna asked with a tilt
The Piano of Vengeance The Wrong Kind of Right
Hearing those words, Arthur shook his head as if denying a truth too painful to accept. He took a step forward, reaching out to grab the wrist of the woman standing before him, but Athena had already stepped back, her eyes silently pleading with him—don’t."We’re over, Arthur. I’m sorry I never got to say goodbye back then. I just… I couldn’t bear to see you hurting and—""And falling apart!" Arthur cut her off sharply, running a hand over his face, overwhelmed. "Goodbye or not, I still felt it! Every inch of it! Don’t you see that?""I’m sorry. I just…""Why?" His voice cracked, raw with pain, as she struggled to find her words. "Why him? Why choose him over me? Hasn’t he done enough? Hasn’t he already broken you, made your life hell, and—""Enough! Please!"Arthur shook his head again, this time more desperately. His eyes locked onto the woman in front of him, her body trembling as she sobbed—just like him, if not even more heartbreakingly.How did it come to this? What made her giv
The Piano of Vengeance Love Isn't Enough
Throughout the ride, Arthur couldn’t shake his assistant’s words from his mind. Every part of them rang true. No matter how much time passed, Leon, Crystal, and Caroline would never let him or Athena live their lives in peace. They would never be satisfied, not even now when he and the woman he loved were already suffering under the weight of their cruelty.If they truly had joined forces to weave this trap around him, especially with Reyna relentlessly working to tear him away from Athena, he genuinely didn’t know what else he could do. If Athena were still by his side, none of this would feel so overwhelming. He wouldn’t be lost like this, drifting without direction, weak and broken, like a man abandoned for days in a barren, merciless desert."Sir... it seems your persistence has finally paid off."His assistant’s voice pulled him back from the chaos in his mind. Arthur snapped his gaze forward, eyes narrowing slightly at the sight of a woman stepping out of a taxi. Her face was h
The Piano of Vengeance Persistent
"Mr. James! Did you just meet with Mrs. Athena inside? Has she returned? What’s your response to the rumors claiming that Mrs. Athena intentionally dropped her charges against Mr. Leon to reunite with her ex-husband?""Yes, Mr. James! As the person closest to her these past few months, surely you have something to say. Is the news true? Please, Mr. James, we've been struggling to reach her!""Yes, is your visit today connected to all this? Are you planning to cut ties and cancel your company's collaborations with hers out of disappointment? Rumor has it you only pursued the partnership to get close to her. Do you now feel betrayed, Mr. James? Played for a fool?"The flood of questions rained down without pause, each word sharpened by the blinding flash of camera lights. Stepping out of the Athena family’s corporate building, Arthur James hadn't anticipated the swarm of reporters that awaited him, hungry for a headline.Who had tipped them off? And how had the rumors spiraled so viciou
The Piano of Vengeance The Only Way Out
"Sorry..."Not far from the city's chaos, in a modest apartment tucked inside a quiet complex, Athena sat curled in a chair by the window.She had rented the place under a false name, using forged documents—anything to disappear. She knew Arthur would look for her, and that was exactly why she had to vanish. It was the only way to protect both him and Reyna from more pain."I'm sorry, prince. I'm so sorry," she whispered again, though the words barely reached her ears anymore.Tears welled as she hugged her knees to her chest, forehead pressed to the cool glass. The world outside carried on—cars passing, voices rising—but none of it touched her.The ache wasn’t just emotional anymore. It lived in her body now—tight in her chest, heavy in her limbs. Across the street, a couple walked hand in hand. The man leaned in to adjust the woman’s scarf, s
The Piano of Vengeance Twisted Devotion
The rain didn’t fall that night, but the sky remained gray as if it understood that someone was lost in the deafening silence.In the room that once echoed with laughter, Arthur sat alone. The chandelier's dim light reflected dully in his lifeless brown eyes. His fingers gripped his phone tightly, as though he were holding on to the last pieces of hope, now almost completely shattered.Athena’s name was still displayed on the screen. And just like so many times before, there was no answer. He took a deep breath, trying to push down the tightness in his chest while replaying every memory he had of her."Ah, that tickles! Let me go!"That voice still sounded so soft in his ears—the way she giggled as he kept kissing her neck. The echo of her laughter was something he could never forget. Her gaze and her smile always warmed his heart, as if he could still feel them now."Where are you now?" he murmured, barely audible. "Why did you have to leave without a word? Didn’t you say you loved s
The Piano of Vengeance The Unwanted Morning
"Baby...."When Arthur opened his eyes the next morning, the first thing he reached for was her—soft skin, steady breath, that familiar warmth he’d grown addicted to. But his hand touched only the cool, empty sheet beside him. Frowning, he sat up, blinking through the haze of sleep."Baby?" he called out softly, expecting her to answer from the bathroom.Silence.He waited a few seconds, listening. Still nothing. Throwing back the covers, Arthur climbed out of bed and padded to the bathroom door knocking lightly."Baby? You in there?"No answer.A chill crawled up his spine as he slowly pushed the door open. Empty. Pristine. The room smelled faintly of her perfume, but there was no trace of her presence. No running water. No voice calling back.He turned around, eyes scanning the bedroom again. Her clothes
The Piano of Vengeance One Final Symphony
Athena closed her eyes for a moment as she said her wish. She begged deeply from the bottom of her heart. She hoped that her prayers would be answered soon so that her days could continue to run normally like today."You're incredible!"Arthur's voice suddenly broke the momentary silence that almost brought tears to her eyes. She quickly smiled, before finally looking closely at the handsome face beside her with her fingers still finishing the melody."Don’t say that, prince.""I mean it. Watching you like this... I feel like I’m seeing magic!"Athena laughed for a moment, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. She let her fingers linger on a final note. Her voice softened. "I wouldn’t be here like this if it weren’t for you. I don’t think I’d have found the strength, the will... the music again. You never gave up on me, even when I gav
The Piano of Vengeance The Last Surprise
Tears began to fall again as Athena nodded. She clutched both of his strong arms that were still wrapped tightly around her body, taking a deep breath before fully turning to face the man before her."I’ve fallen so deeply in love with you too, prince," she said, her voice shaky as she tried to hold back the ache in her chest. "So deeply that I can’t stop thinking about you every single second of my life!"With their foreheads pressed gently together, Athena and Arthur finally shared a kiss. It was soft and calming, surrounded by the beauty of the setting sun. Their silhouettes lingered at the edge of the ship, bathed in the golden glow of warm, fading light."I… I need to use the restroom!"As the kiss turned hotter, Athena gently pulled away with her voice breathless. Arthur frowned slightly before finally letting out a small laugh."Again?"&nbs
