ADRIAN'S POV.We got the perfect opportunity to sneak into the mansion one evening when Athena's parent had gone out to a night party or something of the sort.Most servants had already returned to their quarters and the mansion was completely empty of them, except maybe for some few who were still doing some work in the mansion.Aldo and I took this as the perfect opportunity to sneak in through the back door. We were very careful with our steps because if caught in anyway, I will surely be thrown out of the estate and Aldo would also be in trouble.I couldn't let that happen.We already succeeded in coming up the stairs when we bump into a young girl who I recognize as Athena's maid.For a moment, we all halted staring at each other warily. My heart fell flat because I knew we had already been caught.I was about to say something like pleading to her so she won't tell on us, but she beat me to it "I didn't see anything" she said in Italian and walked away.Aldo heaved a sigh and I s

ATHENA'S POVI arrived back at the Estate in a cab and hurried through the huge gates. Marco gave me a strange look as I passed him and I knew he wanted to ask questions about why I was home instead of at my wedding, but I didn't wait to be asked any questions. I ran through the fields like a possessed woman, ignoring the looks I got from the servants. The only person I needed to see right now is Adrian. I have to see him as soon as possible.I first checked for him at the stable thinking he would be working at this hour, but he wasn't. I didn't bother to ask Sienna or the others there as I raced towards the male servants quarters, knowing that he would definitely be there.I have hurt his feelings, I know that but I hope he will be able to forgive me. I am willing to do anything to earn his forgiveness. He is the only one I love and the only one I want to be with for the rest of my life. No one is going to stop me from going to him this time. No one at all.I caught sight of Aldo com

ADRIAN'S POV.The next morning, I was up to make breakfast before Selena woke up. I don't usually make breakfast but I wanted to make some for the sake of my guest. She seem quite thin and malnourished showing that she mustn't have been eating well in the past days.The eggs and toast were already set and ready on the center table when Selena walked out of my room.For a moment my breath was taken away from me. She had taken a bath and her hair still looked wet from the shower, although now it was shinier and darker than before, her brown eyes glowed brighter and she was wearing my shirt.It was big on her and fell past her thighs to cover whatever she was wearing underneath. I couldn't deny that she looked so beautiful. Even her legs were long and silky like someone who used to play sports."Sorry," she said bashfully "my clothes were dirty. I borrowed yours for now"I smiled widely, dismissing her apology, "its fine Selena, there is no need for you to apologize." I pointed at the la

Adrian's POVIt didn't take long before we arrived at the park.It was still the early hours of the morning and a lot of families were enjoying themselves on a relaxing picnic.Nate, Selena and I strolled across the park casually towards the direction of the ice cream cart and our baby was more than excited to get his.As we stood by the cart awaiting our order, Nate went off to play with a few kids his age and Lena and I fell into a conversation."You never told me the name of the company you're trying to sign a deal with" Selena inquired.I smiled mischievously at her."It's a secret" I said, earning a mock glare from her."Remember the company belongs to both of us" she tilted her head to the side. "you shouldn't make things like this a secret."It sounded playful, but I could discern the seriousness within her words."Lena, you know you can trust me". I turned to face her properly away from the cart. "This company means a lot to me too and we both want the best out of it, and I'm
