The Invisible Heir
Her driver, a burly man dressed in a suit , opened the door for her and she entered the vehicle along with her two bodyguards.
Julian didn't hesitate, and followed her, having already made up his mind. The vehicle started moving.
The drive was short.
On the road, Athena had attempted to start some conversations, throwing out bits of small talk, but Julian wasn’t having any of it. He answered her first few questions with short, clipped responses before falling completely silent.
Athena seemed to catch on quickly, and stopped trying to ask him questions. However, a look of disappointment crossed her face. She had hoped to get him to open up, even if just a little.
