Thanks for reading guys.
Perhaps Athena enjoyed the process of her make over so much as she didn't notice that she had been sitting in her comfy chair for almost three hours. If not for Vincent who came up to inform them that the car has arrived, she wouldn't realize that her husband has been gone from her sight for a couple of hours already. Curious, she asked the butler. "Uncle where was he?" "You mean your husband?" "Yes. Have you seen him?" "Ah," Vincent smiled. "He went to get the car ready for you and he also left a few instructions." "Instructions?" Her newly trimmed brows raised as she asked. "What instructions if I may ask?" "He said that he won't be here to pick you up and that someone else will do that for him. He will wait for you at the venue, Mrs. Adams." Vincent narrated fluently according to Terrence's instructions earlier. "Since that was the case, please tell the driver to wait for a little bit longer." She said without thinking too much. "Alright Mrs. Adams. Please take your time..."
While Athena was being picked up by her grandfather, Terrence took different cars to the airstrip for the Stanford and Adams family. In two hours of waiting, their jet finally landed. The first to come out was none other than Trisha, his younger sister who camecd[ running down the iron stairs. "Oh my God, brother!" she shouted out. "You look different! What happened to you?" Terrence just smiled at her and asked "How's your trip? Is everything fine?" "Yes, everything is fine." His father, Mr. Adams, chimes in to their conversation. "Dad," Terrence went to hug his father. Then he came next to his mother, kissing her cheeks. "Mom," "My boy..." his mother cried. "I never thought that this moment would actually come. I feel so proud of you, son." His father snorted. "He's going to be a father. When will he man up?" "Come on, Dad." Trisha yanked her father away from her brother and said, "I want to stay here for vacation." Terrence watched her sister trying to divert her father's
"I didn't plan these all to make you cry, Enah." Terrence said. "In fact, I want to let everyone know how sincere I am to be with you that's why I prepared this wedding to surprise you. The first one was unpleasant, not a good story to tell to our kids so I want that to change..." "I just can't believe that you did these all behind my back." She replied. "Thank you..." "This is just the beginning..." he smiled as he hand her over his hand. "Athena Adams, will you marry me for the second time?" he asked her. "I swear to be a devoted husband to you and a loving father to our kids in the future..." Under the veil, she beamed. "Can I say no?" she bluffed. "Of course you can't..." he chuckled. "You're mine and you can't refuse me either." "Right!" She laughed. "I've been yours since then..." As she took his hand, the old man said, "Young man, you probably know how much she means to me, right?" "Of course, grandpa. I promise to take care of her 'till my last breathe." Terrence swear s
Terrence and Athena was surprised to know that their families prepared a world tour as their wedding gift. Perhaps because they were stucked at the island for months that's why they want them to enjoy freedom to go wherever they desired to go and do whatever makes them both happy therfore they took advantage to it. They spent four months roaming in different places all over the globe, experiencing various types of traditions and delicacies in every place they went. They also discovered a new and healthy way to help her restore what she lost before in the most effective way. Needless to say, by using such method, she won't just be able to get back to her old self but regain more than that. Terrence didn't hesitate to urge her to try it and she agreed after the doctor assured her that it won't affect her pregnancy. During those months, Athena's skin has fully recovered, transforming it into a glassy white complexion so even if she was about to give birth, she remained glowing especiall
4 years later... "Mommy!" "Daddy!" The couple's door was about to collapse due to the twins' intense banging. Athena's eyes snapped wide open, startled with the noise. "Babe, the kids... They're awake!" she whispered half-yelled. Terrence who was currently in the middle of his wicked plan halted. "You just arrive last night from your business trip and I haven't had the chance yet to do what I want..." he complained. After giving birth to the twins, Mattis and Alexis, Athena formally accepted her grandfather's offer to replace his position as the CEO of The MONROE's Group and Terrence also agreed to it. However, during the times that she's out of the country for a business trip, Terrence was left to take care of the kids until she return and he had them enrolled in kindergarten just a couple of months ago. "Mommy!" The little girl's melodious voice resonated outside. "Please open the door!" BANG! BANG! BANG! "Daddy!" This time the voice belongs to the little boy, shouting. "
Somewhere in I city at 24:00, half past midnight, a couple was having an argument in an apartment."Don't insist, Athena." The man hissed. "You know that your doctor forbids you from getting wet. It's freezing cold." He couldn't help scowling, displaying a look of disbelief in his face.The woman shook her head, groaning in disgust, raising her underarm and smelling her armpits, she huffed. "I feel so sticky and I can't sleep like this!"The man glared at her and uttered in annoyance yet his voice laced with tolerance. "You're so stubborn like a child.""I'm not a child." She snapped, taking her things out from her wardrobe. "And don't you dare try to deprive me. You wouldn't win against me." Her voice held a hint of warning.The man looked at her helplessly, pleading. "Baby, please… Just this once. Listen to me. What if you catch a cold once again? You're not fully recovered yet!"The woman shook her head adamantly once again, displaying a determined look in her face. "I'm sorry, Mik
13 hours later... Athena found herself, standing in a massive crowd at NY airport, her very own hometown. Feeling lightheaded due to her jetlag, she shut her eyes for a brief moment to eliminate her dizziness before she began to walk slowly with unsteady steps.A deep sigh escaped from her lips as she dragged her suitcase towards the exit but unfortunately, due to her unstable footing, she stumbled along the way. She almost fell on the ground but she was lucky that someone managed to catch her befall on time or she would've been the center of attraction upon her arrival.A pair of strong arms appeared out of nowhere holding her slender waist, saving her from falling heavily on the ground as well as the embarrassment from all the people around her. She sighed in relief, feeling genuinely thankful yet after a few seconds..."Ouch..." she winced as she felt that those hands were gripping her tight and its fingers were roughly penetrating into her delicate flesh producing a dull pain in
Sam had witnessed how Terrence tried to control Athena during their teenage years out of coincidental circumstances, thus he was certainly aware of the guy's reaction to her especially when he was around as he became closer to Athena during the days that she was needing a friend to rely on.Terrence might refuse to admit it but Sam was able to read his actions as an observer. He was certain that he harbored a hidden affection towards the woman because of how he always acted vigilant when it comes to him. He concluded that the guy appeared in denial with his true feelings, after all, they had a big misunderstanding back then. Furthermore, there's nothing more precise explanation for doing such a thing unless the guy felt like he was being threatened over his possession.Showing off his dominant side whenever Sam tried to get closer to her was his usual behavior and he was used to it but Terrence's constant protest barely holds his patience this time. He was fed up with the latter's nons
