"Don't you dare to touch him!" Ace gasped at the loud voice before hiding behind Dominic's back. He crouched down and turned himself into a small ball. He clutched Dominic's shirt tightly in his small fist. "Stacey? What the hell is this behaviour?" Dominic asked with a deep frown. He didn't like how Stacey just barged into his room, without his permission. On top of that she was acting as if she owned this place. Her attitude was not acceptable to him at all. "You think something is wrong with my behaviour? What are you doing?" Stacey asked with a mean frown as she invited herself in the room by herself and walked toward him. She stood in front of him with a clenched jaw and hardened eyes. She glared at Ace which made him crouch some more. "Stacey! You are scaring him!" Dominic snapped at her in irritation while holding Ace's little hands assuringly. "What are you doing here with him, Dominic?" Stacey asked in irritation. "That's none of your business. What are you doing

“That witch! I feel like pulling all her hair out!” Patricia huffed in anger as she cursed someone under her breath. “I am so angry right now. How dare she behave like that with Ace! She scared my poor baby.” Suzanne said with a frown as well as she caressed Ace's face lovingly. “Calm down, girls. He is okay now. Let him sleep for a few hours. He will be completely fine.” Even though Athena acted like she was calmed down but in actuality she was burning in anger. Ace has just fallen asleep after crying for the past half an hour after they came out of that room. He was a little scared of the way Stacey behaved with him. “He didn't eat well at breakfast. Should I ask the maid something for him and for you as well? You also haven't eaten anything since yesterday. Oh god! It's been more than one day. I will ask the maid to make something right away.” Patricia spoke up in a worried tone. "Oh, please don't stress over something like that. I am absolutely fine. You don't need to dis

"Mommy! Mommy! Wake up! Look where we are! Mommy!" The familiar little hands shook Athena. She slowly started to come back to consciousness. She let out a groan as she opened her eyes and completely came back to her senses. Her head was blasting. She slowly sat up. "Ace, baby, can you please keep it low. Mommy's head is aching." She said slowly and lovingly as she picked him up. She put him on her lap and kissed him on the cheeks, making him giggle. But he listened to her and didn't say anything else. "Of course your head will ache. You didn't have anything for so long and went to cook. Now look at what happened." Suzanne said in a stern tone as she suddenly came out of nowhere with a tray filled with food. "Suzy? What's going on? Where are we and what happened to me?" She asked in confusion as she tried to remember things but her mind hit blank space at that moment. "You lost consciousness. Now we will talk later, first have this food." Suzanne ordered as she pushed the tray

"Athy, did something happen while we were away?" Suzanne asked in a worried tone as they three walked back to the pack house. That's where Nathan and Justin were with Ace. Athena, who was lost in some thoughts, looked at her in confusion. "Nothing happened. Why did you ask?" She asked in confusion. She didn't want anyone to know about her past or to know about her interaction with her father. She didn't tell Suzanne and Patricia about it and planned to keep it to herself only. "Did you see the big frown you had on your face? And you have been really quiet since we met again after shopping. Are you sure everything is okay?" Patricia spoke up in a worried tone as she tried to read Athena. But she was quick to mask her emotions. "Oh, it's nothing. I just hope Ace didn't trouble Nathan and Justin much." Athena avoided answering the questions smartly as they all entered the pack house. "Don't worry, I am sure they have handled-...Well, HE handled him well." Patricia spoke up in a weir

It's been two days since that day. It's been two days since Athena last saw Dominic.  She couldn't explain if that was good or bad. She felt at peace and was jumpy at the same time. She felt as if he would come out of nowhere any moment now and hurt her some more by his presence.  Yes, she feels hurt whenever she sees him. She feels like he was there to rub salt on the cuts which he had given her. It hurts all the freaking time! It hurts so much!  She let out a sigh as she forced herself out of his thoughts and concentrated on the work in hand. She was staying at his mansion and taking care of it. He has given off to all the maids. So, the big mansion is on her shoulder to clean and take care of.  Currently she was cleaning the living room while Ace was with Suzanne and Patricia. She was so lucky to have them as friends. She was really tired but she couldn't take a rest. She has t
