--Knight’s POV--"This is me, saving myself."I couldn’t process her words. Oh how I admire this woman dearly, how she could easily wrap me around her fingers. She attacked my lips as if she hadn’t said anything that’ll confuse me for the rest of my life.Saving? Am I the one who needs that? Because I clearly know how doomed I am when it comes to him."You’re changing. She’s changing you. I know you’re aware of that. " One time, when I came back from driving Athena home, Lucas once again harassed my mind with his unending facts.And I think, this will happen often since he’s staying here in my penthouse for a while since Ulva is getting better at finding him. What a load of sh*t.I pour myself a glass of rum. I’ve long been addicted to liquor, but I noticed that I seem to be more addicted to it. This liquid somehow calms my nerves. Well, not that it would level Athena’s ability to calm me down. One touch, one smile, one laugh; boom. I’m falling, over and over again."Those kinds of wo

I arrived at the venue where Knight told me the event was happening. The valet approached me. I saw Knight standing just outside the car. Dashing with his suit and tie.I handed the keys to the valet before I walked toward Knight’s direction. He welcomed me with his arms snaked around my waist. The luxurious scent that he usually uses embraced my nose. I feel like I’m drunk just by smelling him."Sexy, as always." Knight whispered to my ears as we both walked inside."Thank you, handsome." I smirked and put my hair on my shoulder as we walked inside. He kissed my collarbone, and I giggled.The place was exquisite. I’ve been to a lot of classy places and events before, but for some reason, this one kind of intimidates me. Everything feels authentic, and I’m the only one who’s fake.The retro-like tiles fit the high ceiling that’s filled with gigantic chandeliers that are sure to cost thousands of dollars. Damn, I thought this was just a dinner? Where the hell am I?The group of people w

Knight was unconscious the entire time we're in his car. We weren’t able to bid our good bye to his colleagues since Knight’s men helped him and went to his car right away.In the car, all I did was talk to Knight from time to time to see if he was still awake and fine. I convinced him to go to the hospital, but he told me he just needed to go home, and so that’s what we did.Our guards assisted us when we arrived at his penthouse. They accompanied us to the lift. When the lift opened, Lucas’ stunned face welcomed us.He seemed to say something based on how he looked, but he looked too stunned to speak. I bet he held it all to himself, whatever it is that he had to say. And to note, he’s half naked as well."Lucas," I called him.He went to us to help guide Knight. He told the guards that we could manage and they all went back to the lift to leave. We guided Knight to the couch. I sat on the ground so I could level Knight. He really looks so weak at the moment."What happened?" Lucas

--Athena’s POV--I wasn’t expecting that the downfall of others would be my own downfall as well."How many days are we going to stay there?" I asked on the other line."Three days," he answered."Hmkay.""Pack lightly, we can just buy your clothes there."I hissed. "I know you're rich, but that doesn't make sense if you're wasting your dimes on the simplest things."He laughed. "I'm just suggesting.""Well then, it's not a good idea." I sighed. He just laughed again.I heard someone speak on the other line. I think it was his secretary. I immediately spoke to end the call."You should go back to your work now. I’ll pack my things. ""Alright, see you later.""Hmm," was all I could answer before I ended the call.Our flight will be later at dawn. He says he has an out of town because of this big investor he is courting. He said it was the Judge who owned a private island in the Australian part.I shouldn't have come, but when Peter found out, he suggested that it’d be a good idea to c

When we got back to the villa, we were both silent. He didn’t even cast a glance at me until we got to the villa, and so I did the same. For some reason, we were awkward."I’ll just take a bath," I said.He eyed me intently, and he nodded. In the bathroom, all I did was think about the things that had happened today.This is the day where Knight confessed his feelings for me, and I fooled him big time. I cursed myself in the shower a lot of times. I let my tears flow as the water fell on my face at the same time.I almost spent half an hour staying in the bath before I got out. I heard him talking to someone. I could hear it but his voice sounded muffled. It's like he’s careful that I might hear it."It doesn’t matter. Just make sure no other investors know that. "My eyebrows furrowed."I said I don’t fvcking care! Just fvcking send things to me and do what I told you. "I gasped. He sounded mad. I got nervous, so I stepped back and decided to stay inside for a while. I chose not to
