Athena’s POVFor many years have I rehearsed what I would say to Adrian if I ever met him againI had a well prepared apology stored up in my head, but now seeing him again, I was speechless and loss for wordsAdrian was differentHe was no longer the timid nineteen year old who worked so hard at my father’s estate,Or the poor shoe maker who gave me an amazing present on my birthdayOr the mesmerized young boy who danced with me at the bonfire partyAdrian was now a matured business man. The person my parents labeled a failure managed to achieve what everyone thought he could never achieveI wanted to say a lot of things to him, but the first words that ended up coming out were“How have you been?”He didn’t reply and only kept on staring at meI feared deep in my heart that Adrian might hate me nowIt made me want to shed tears“I’ve been good as you can see” he said simplyHis blank tone broke my heart a bit but I knew it was my faultI have so many regrets. I thought about the par

Adrian’s POVShe was smiling brightly at me, cladded in a beautiful white flowing wedding dress as she walked elegantly towards the alterI waited with beating heart as she approachedFinally she was going to be mineAfter today, she would no doubt become Mrs Athena CruzThe loud banging of the front door work me up from my pleasant dream leaving me feeling sleep deprivedThe banging continued and I shot out of bed and rushed out of my roomI had my room as the floor of the house and so when I came out, I saw Selena also coming down the stairs at the same timeWho could be knocking so harshly at such early hours of the morningSelena and I gave ourselves a confused look before I quickly hurried to open the doorA tall black haired beauty was standing there with a harsh expression on her faceFor a moment she was confused to see me just as I was to see herI was about to ask her who she was when I heard Selena say behind me“Angela” she whisperedImmediately, recognition dawn on me and

Adrian’s POVAfter Selena told me that she wanted an explanation from me, I quickly got ready and left for work.It helped that Celine was still there spending time with them. That distracted Selena enough for me to get away for the time being.At least I had escaped her questioning for nowIt’s not like I didn’t want to tell herI was just scared of how she would react and also how it might affect our relationshipI didn’t want anything that would ruin the steady relationship I had with my son and my best friendAs I sat in my poorly furnished office, my assistant; Triana came in without knocking while sucking on a lolly pop“Boss, is Selena still not coming in today?”“She might tomorrow but not today” she seem to want to spend some time with her friend and I do understand herShe haven’t seen them for years so it was only natural that she’d want to catch up with them“That’s bad” Triana said “we need her in the office now more than ever, especially since the deal with Baldwins fash

Athena’s POVA wide smile was on my face as I stared at the mirrorThe dress I had on tonight was an off-shoulder mermaid gown that looks absolutely beautiful on meI had put a lot of effort into my looks tonight because I wanted Adrian’s eyes to be fixated on meMy necklace and earrings were made of pure gold and I made my hair in such a fashionable and attractive way that I was sure no one would question my beauty tonightBut I only really wanted a certain someone’s eyes on meAfter making sure I looked good enough, I left my hotel room to join Lucas at the lobbyLucas too was fully dressed in an Italian suit and silky black shoe.His blond hair was simply pushed back, but he still looked as handsome as everHe smiled when he saw me coming“Wow, someone is looking so damn good”I giggled in appreciation at the compliment“Thanks sir”“You’re welcome” he offered his arm to me “are you ready for the party?”I nodded, more excited about seeing Adrian than at the party itselfI still co

Athena’s POVLucas had been depressed ever since the party where he met Selena again. I was still not sure of his offense, but I knew for a fact that Selena bore some kind of deep hatred for him.It turns out that this sudden revelation might actually affect our company, because Lucas has refused to leave London with Selena still there and, honestly, I wasn't ready to leave, not with Adrian still hereI hadn’t heard from Adrian since the party, and I was becoming restless.Just early this morning, Lucas left saying he was going to see SelenaI wanted to go along with him but I figured that it would be weird to appear there without a good reason, especially since Selena doesn’t really know who I am yet, and we also have a meeting with Mr. Martins and since Lucas decided to ditch, I had no choice but to go aloneThe meeting with Mr. Martins was scheduled to hold at a small diner down town and it took me a few minutes to get thereAs I walked in, my eyes instantly caught sight of Adrian
