Quarter an hour, the couple reached the hospital where Hannah had been admitted. He parked the car and took out the key. "Are you coming with me?" Terrence sounds hesitating."Do you want me to?" Athena responded."Of course. Let's go…" He urged and occasionally unbuckled his belt. He was about to open his door but something flashed in his mind, making him halt halfway.Athena also unbuckled her belt and was about to jump off from her seat but her husband was fast to catch her wrist. She gave him a questioning look. "What's wrong?" She asked."The last time we came here, we were good to each other. When we left we were arguing and even fighting. I don't want that to happen again, do you hear me? No matter what you see or hear from her, don't let them get into your head. I'm with you on this. Do you understand?" He explained. Patience and tolerance radiated in his entire demeanor while waiting for her assurance.
Terrence clenched his jaws really hard. Suppressing the laughter that threatened to escape from his throat, he swallowed hard and watched Hannah tremble in her spot. His breathing keep on hitching while throwing glances at his wife who looked at his so-called girlfriend with sharp and murderous eyes. After gathering himself together, he cleared his throat and took a sharp breath. "Athena, where have you been the other night?" He was now interrogating.Athena played cool. Clearing her throat and clicking her tongue, she looked up seemingly thinking for a while. "The night before last night, I was with someone and we're having a very fierce fight…" she narrated.Hannah looked towards her direction and scoffed. "We had a fight of course." She tried to play cool and proceeded to do her facade without the awareness that she had been digging her own grave."Excuse me? I did have a fight with that someone but that fight was really on
Terrence felt uneasy. His wife's words sent a weird shiver running down his spines. He took hold of her hand as they walked through the corridor until they reached their car. They both entered and settled on their seats in silence for a few seconds before he started the engine and drove towards his company."Baby, tell me what you've been thinking. What do you mean by pulling them back to the city?" He sounds curious yet uncertain. Hannah must have crossed her boundaries that Athena wants to cause so much trouble for her family."You want to defend her?" She glared at him while fishing out her mobile phone from her purse."What are you talking about? Of course not. Why would I? I told you that I am on your side, didn't I?" Terrence defended himself in a hurry. By the looks she was giving him, she was really mad. Her eyes that used to be gentle while looking at him were now blazing in so much fury. Apparently, she's about to ex
"Are you really interested in what I am thinking?" Athena hesitated for a while and thought carefully of the possible outcome. If he was adamant to know about what she was planning then might as well tell him this instance. She thought and scrolled down on her phone searching for her hidden files. She was about to show him the background of Hannah's stepbrother but his phone rang, snapping them both out from their conversation.Terrence took hold of his mobile phone from the windshield and peered at it. Upon knowing that it was his assistant, he answered the call directly without hesitation. "Mark," he mumbled quizzically.Mark went. "Boss, you have a meeting in 30 minutes with the IS Construction Company.""Alright, I'll be there." Terrence then dropped the call and started the engine as he went. "We had a meeting to catch up, Athena. Can we discuss this matter later?" He was presiding over as he maneuvers the steering w
STANFORD COMPANYThe moment Athena dropped her call, Anton eventually began calling his assistant barking orders about his sister's request. He stormed off from his private lounge leaving his girlfriend behind and dropped an order to have an urgent meeting with their company's legal team. He was asking for their statement if it was possible to cut the partnership between the Wilsons. His reason was that they aren't as professional enough to handle their family affairs resulting in offending and degrading their company interest.Well, as part of Stanford's company payroll, they were all designated to find reasonable faults to fire against their opponent and they made a great deal with that. In just an hour, they successfully made it and waited for the outcome. Wilson Company wasn't as huge and threatening anyways.Anton leaned on his swivel chair and closed his eyes while cursing his sister in his mind. He really couldn't under
Terrence's face turned livid when he heard his wife's abrupt confession. His stares on her face were similar to sharp blades, piercing every ounce of her calmness. "Athena Adams, how dare you keep this information from me?" He was so mad while looking at her and he failed to recall that he was clasping her foot really hard."Ouch!" Athena suddenly winced and went on taking a huge breath enduring the terrible pain that she was feeling at the moment. "Terrence, you're… You're breaking my foot, babe. Do you plan on making me a cripple for the next couple of days?" Her voice had turned hoarse as she tried to bit her lips to muffled her painful cry. It was then that Terrence finally released let her foot and throw it down fro his lap. He stood up and went to his frebcvh window without casting a glance at her. He was damned silent and refuses to utter any words to her. He had a cold and straight face while gazing out the buildings. He never know
Mike was now seething in full rage ready to explode at any time soon. Just the sound of Anton Standford's voice who stood to support his sister was enough to tell him that their company problem has gotten any worse than being solved. His fingers were trembling to snap Hannah's neck. Wherever she is right at the moment, he would soon find her and teach her a very good lesson. As he marched out of the building, his mobile phone's fierce vibrations suddenly took his maddening attention. He shoved his hand inside his pocket and fished it out. As he peered on his screen, a furious growl escaped from his throat. "Father," he grumbled deeply under his breath.The other party was obviously shuffling on the other end for a moment that it didn't come to answer him fast. But after almost half a minute, a heavy breathing sounded in his ears accompanied by a man's hoarse voice. "Mike, our accounts were empty. Can you talk to your sister if she could ask her boyfriend
It was around 2 in the afternoon when Terrence and Athena finished their lunch date. Having done so, he drove directly towards Stanford's mansion. The eagerness to experience painting with Athena again was too irresistible for him to ignore. Having been at odds with each other for a long time, he never intended to appear in his wife's mansion after they got married.At that time, Terrence swore to himself that he would never set foot again in that place even if Anton, his friend, would drag him inside. He hated Athena so much down to his bones for thinking that she was luring his parents and grandpa to marry him. They were fond of her and their issues as friends to enemies were pushed aside into their elders' deaf ears. They didn't take their hatred for each other seriously. They were still young at that time and they thought it would eventually dissipate as the time went by. Couple of years had passed and that hatred never dissipated inside him. He trie
