They both had a light conversation with each other. But, none of them asking for what exactly happens 11 years ago. About why Athena rejecting him and why he never mentions anything about his relationship with Heyjin.After finishing their noodles soup, Asher pays for the food, and they walk to Asher's car. Asher had to park slightly further from the stall since the parking space is limited around there.Walking passing by the small alley, Athena's eyes caught an injured cat, meowing asking for help. The cat seems it's been splashed by the hot water.She turns to the deserted alley and walks to the cat. Seeing the cat's condition, she almost tears up."Who did this to you?" She said with a sad voice.When Asher turns around, he saw Athena already walked to the dark alley. He follows her from behind.Athena takes out a pocketknife from her bag, she wants to use her blood on the cat, but before she pricks her finger, Asher snatches the knife and grabs her hand."What are you doing?" he a

Aurora makes a video call. After a few rings, Athena picks up her call."Hey, sis. Found your husband yet?" Athena on the other side of the line, smiling and giggling to her twin sister."Yup. But there is no way for me to drag him back right now. So how was the wedding? Did daddy cancel it?""No. But don't worry about it. It's already settled long ago.""Huh? How?"Athena shows her ring finger, making Aurora's eyes turns wider. She covers her widely open mouth."Thena!! I'm so sorry! Did you marry a random man? An ugly man? Tell me, I'll help you to get a divorce by blackmailing him." She was so shocked and feel guilty at the same time too."No need, Aur, he already signs the divorce paper, just waiting for me to sign it."Aurora turns silent. "Who is this man?"Smile faintly, she replied. "Asher."Aurora's dumbstruck. She lost her word as her face turn guilty. "I'm so sorry, Thena, I drag you into this mess.""Hey, don't blame yourself. I am happy right now.""Are you really happy?"

When they return to the event, the guests already went to the bidding hall. She went to the seat that has been designated for her by the organizer.The bidding starts with her painting being sold to the fans of her. One by one, Athena's drawing has been sold.Until it turns of the painting which Asher has been aiming to buy it. He bid at a high price. He thought no one will encounter his bid, but one old man also likes the painting.He bid the painting at a high price too, and both of them look like they were in the middle of a war, bidding the picture with the high prices.All other guests already start to whispering to each other.'Hey, why he's eager want to buy that painting?''He must be a real fan of this artist.''Is he crazy? That painting is nearly reaching 100 million!''Why is that old man so eager to buy it? Is that her daughter or her granddaughter in that drawing?''Hey, do you think he wants to give the painting for Hyejin? Maybe he wants to show how sincere he was with

Today is Saturday,Asher still sleeps soundly on the bed, while Athena took a bath, went down to the kitchen making breakfast, and brought it to the couch in the living room.She turns on the television and starts to munch on her sandwich.Asher opened his eye when he heard Athena close the door. Rub his face a little, he flipping the comforter that covering his naked body to half. Sit up on the bed, he turns to look at his side.Remembering what he does last night with Athena makes him blushed, and he hides his smile. He looks at the stain, which is still on the bed."Oh, fuck! Her blood. What did you do, Ash... It shortens her life." he starts to feel regret. He was happy, but at the same time, he feels guilty for her. Because of his insatiable need, she needs to sacrifice her few years of life.After some time, he finally got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.When he went downstairs, he saw Athena still eating her breakfast while watching a television show."Hey, morning." L

"So, you're suggesting to change her face?" Asher asks."No, that'll be too risky. I will never put Athena's life in danger. Besides, surgery means losing blood. Losing blood means, shorten life. So that is total no." Zayne shot him a severe look.Asher nods in understanding."It's okay. I'll protect you no matter what." He said to Athena and stroke her hair gently to try to assure her."Then, I'll tighten the system. Upgrading your weapon and make sure when you go out, bring your emergency button.

'Ahh~ he knows that it was me, eh?'Athena's scrunching her eyebrow. "Huh? Rat?"He ruffles her hair and wears his bag. "Yeah, big and black rat. If only I could kill that rat, my life would be much better. I'll see you again.""Hmm..alright. Take care."***.......After Athena sleeps at night, Asher went to Zayne's house. Knocking
