ATHENA’S POVIt was closing hour already, and Daniel led me outside.“Your driver is here, Athena. But we have somewhere to go to first, before you go home. So, we’re going to walk really fast before he sees us. You have to trust me, in order for that to happen.” Daniel spoke to me.Although, what he asked was quite tasking. To walk fast while holding his hands when blind was something difficult to do, a trust which was difficult to give out, but the desire to see was more than being skeptical about trusting him on leading me without having to fall.“Alright, let’s do this.” I urged, and pursed my lips, hoping that I wasn’t going to fall so hard, and regret it.Daniel and I walked fast, and it was quite fun to walk fast like I could see. I let out a chuckle, and another, excited at how good it made me feel. Daniel also joined me in laughing until he told me to slow down.“I guess we’ve passed by my driver.” I said, with a smile.“Yes, we have. Now, we can freely walk.”“Okay. So, wher
ATHENA’S POVI looked at him to ask him what he meant by that, but the sudden aura I felt, made me wonder if he wanted to hear anything from me or not. But I still wanted to ask to clarify things.“Don’t ask me any questions, Athena. I think you should focus on what to say when you get back home.” He said as he made a few metal clanking noises.Right there, I recalled that I hadn’t said anything to Alpha Jeremy, and the driver would probably have been waiting for me for a long while now. Then I felt the old man’s hand, holding mine again, and I felt it that we were back to the sitting room.These are the disadvantages of me, being blind. How could I not see whatever happened? I was so curious, but I knew no one would tell me. Even Daniel would definitely keep it a secret, or perhaps he doesn’t know about it.Things like this could be comfortably made known to the blind, because they can’t see, and secrets leaking would therefore not happen.“Alright, let’s head back to school. I’m sur
ATHENA’S POV“What do you mean by that?” I asked, out of curiosity.“I mean, you’re always happy whenever it’s morning, because you’re going to college. I can tell you really love what you do at college.” Jane replied, in a respectful tone.I almost thought she knew what I had planned to do tomorrow, if not, that would have made me ask so many questions.“Yes, I guess.” I said, under my breath.“If you need anything, you can just call my number. I just imputed my contact on your phone.” Jane informed me, and I nodded.When she left, I felt excitement swim in my stomach. She had reminded me of my plan tomorrow, and that made Alpha Jeremy’s depressing words fly out of my mind. I would be so grateful the moment I begin to see again. There are a lot of places I would love to go to for sight-seeing, and many things I couldn’t try right now, I would try once I am privileged to see.By the way, I had to think of the perfect excuse to tell Alpha Jeremy. One that wouldn’t make him suspect that
ATHENA’S POVNight had fallen, and I was back in my room. What the other maid had said was still replaying in my head, and I pondered on it, thinking about what Alpha Jeremy was probably doing in his study that evoked such great suspicion and fear in the maid that went to serve tea.I had also felt something wrong with the atmosphere, earlier. Could it be as a result of Alpha Jeremy’s weirdness? I shook my head, and moistened my lips as I cuddled my bed cover, and stared into blank space. My eyes were getting heavy now, and in any moment from now, I could sleep off.After for what seemed like half an hour ago, the aura in the room changed. My ears became firm to pick up on any strange sound. And there was it, I could hear light steps around my room, but I was too scared to sit up or budge.I held my bedcover tight, and hoped that Jane would interrupt or sort, but it didn’t seem like she was going to come here in the middle of the night. Then the air became chill, and cold, making me h
ATHENA’S POVMy heart shattered in pieces as Alpha Jeremy’s words struck deep into me. I had not expected to get a no for an answer when I was planning my journey to the land of fear with Daniel, so now that I heard this from him, I felt deeply hurt.I couldn’t tell if he was staring at me or not, but I couldn’t hear the sound of him eating again.“I think you should just let her go, Alpha Jeremy. If the school is going on a trip, and she is not going with them, it means she would have to stay at home, lurking around. That’s not what I want. I believe she would have people who would make things easier for her, there, isn’t it, Athena?” Octavia directed the question at me.For the first time, I really felt grateful to Octavia. Although, I knew it was for her own selfish interest, but at least, the result of her selfish interest is a gain for me. I nodded my head earnestly, and with excitement.“Yes. I have people who will make things easier for me. They have been so good to me.” I answ
ATHENA’S POVSoon, we got to Daniel’s house, and then he held my hand and carried my luggage for me as we walked into his house. I could tell his house was an expensive one because of the smell that hit me, and the surrounding aura.“Are you hesitating? You’re walking a bit slower than usual.” He said, and I could tell he was staring at me.“No. It just feels like I can see the house. Like I mean, I’m trying to observe.”“Oh, I see. That’s cool.”I could tell the walls were painted white as I knew just the scent it emits, and the unique soft texture it had. Without asking questions, even a blind person could observe that he had a chandelier, and definitely, it had pretty lights that illuminated the house with just the perfect color. He led me right to the sitting room, and then helped me to sit comfortably.“Wow.” I exclaimed softly.His sofa felt plush and expensive, and I was stepping on a marble floor, definitely.If I could see, I know I would be right to say his house was an exp

ATHENA’S POVI jerked off my seat as I realized that it was truly poison, he was about to add to the omelet, or probably he had added it already.“What’s going on?” He asked, in a curious tone.“Did you just add poison to the omelet?” I questioned, with raised eyebrows.“Uhm… why do you think so?” he asked, acting like he wasn’t aware of what he did.“I didn’t just think so. I can smell it. Hold on. If I couldn’t smell it, are you going to allow me to eat it?”“Yes.”His answer dug deep into my heart, and left me speechless. I couldn’t say a word as I was so pained to my heart, and what was more frustrating was that I wanted to just leave, but I didn’t know my way around, even with my cane.But I couldn’t just stand there like a moron. I held my cane, and tapped it lightly as I tried my best to avoid walls, and anything that could trip me. I couldn’t even tell where I was, in his house anymore, and I just knowingly fell to the ground helplessly, and started crying.Then I heard Daniel
