Athena's povWho would have thought that I would ever find a man who fascinated me so much?I watched him from the window of my room as he worked. Although he was far, I could still make out that figure, that toned naked body that all the female servants on the estate seem to be gushing over.Adrian was handsome and hard working. His kind and gentle personality was the reason every girl in the estate seem to be talking about him.I was one of them. Everything about him fascinated me. He was a gentleman, kind and caring.Unknown to him, I've been watching him on most occasion, ever since that night at the bonfire, my brain couldn't seem to come up with any other thoughts but him.I knew it was dangerous to ask him for help but I couldn't help it. After that day at the chapel, I couldn't seem to think about anyone but him.I needed an excuse to get closer to him, which is why I came up with that idea of sneaking out of the estate with a bicycle, and it actually turned out to be one of t

ATHENA'S POV.If I was being honest, I too did not understand my reasons for asking Adrian all those questions. I mean I was always seeing him with Sienna and I just couldn’t hold in my curiosity. I wanted to know what the relationship really was between them. I was not sure if it was really curiosity, but I was not ready to admit that my reason for asking him those questions was more than curiosity.We stayed there in that abandoned hut for a few more hours and all we did was talk and ask questions. I learned a lot about Adrian in that moment. I mean, all I really know about him was that he was Signor Lorenzo’s grandson, and he was an orphan. It was interesting to know that Adrian had been through a lot of hardship. I feel bad that he had to go through all he went through, but I honestly believe that it made him a wonderful person, and also I admire that he could still be able to move forward despite how much he went through.We both lay side by side on the small bed staring up at th

ADRIAN'S POV.I hadn’t been expecting Athena to kiss me, but she did and I found my heart beating so fast in both shock and nerves. This was different from the cheek kiss. Athena actually kissed me on the lips, on the fucking lips.The kiss didn’t last very long. Athena pulled away staring at me with an expression I could not name. my fingers immediately flew to touch my lips. The pressure of her lips on mine was still there. Did Athena realize what she had just done? She kissed me while she was engaged to Giovanni. What does that mean?“Athena, what was that for?” I asked still in shock at the unexpected kiss.Athena sighed and ran a hand through her hair looking troubled. “I can only think of one reason why I did that Adrian, and that reason is because I like you, a lot”My heart died in my chest, “what?” I asked dumbly.Athena looked at me, “I know it’s wrong to like someone else when I am engaged, but I couldn’t help it Adrian. You keep making it difficult to hold back. I can’t st

ADRIAN'S POV.I sat on the well-made bed in the abandoned house waiting for Athena to come her as she had promised. I have already prepared a gift for her birthday. It took me a few days to get it ready, but I finally did and I loved the outcome of it.My gift to Athena was a pretty pink covered shoe with a tiny plastic flower at the top. It was not expensive because I made it myself of course, but I do hope that Athena would like it. I made it with all the feelings in my heart.I was feeling a bit excited tonight and the reason is because I have finally come up with an answer for Athena. At first I was worried about her mother or anyone else finding out about us, but I realized that if I kept denying my feelings for Athena, it would just keep growing stronger every day. That is why I have decided to just tell her how I feel.I waited for hours until it was past midnight and I was slowly starting to give up, thinking she won’t show up, but then I heard the sound of feet coming from ou

ADRIAN'S POV.I hurried to finish my chores so I could go to the abandoned house much earlier to see Athena. I was very excited at what she said a while ago and I was looking forward to the kiss. I got very worried about getting caught, but every time I thought about Athena’s smile, I forgot about the world completely, and every time her lips touched mine, it was like I am on another planet.I finally finish up my chores and took a bath preparing to leave the stable when Sienna came up to me “hey Adrian” she greeted cheerfully.“Hey Sienna what’s up?” I asked, buttoning the top buttons of my shirt.“Well, one of the guys is throwing a small party for us outside the estate. I wanted to know if you would like to come”I shook my head a bit sadly, “I’m sorry Sienna, but I am really tired today. Maybe next time.” She watched me silently for a few seconds and I frown slightly “is there something on my face?”“No not really, it’s just that you leave the stable very early these days like you
