Athena was sent on her ward for further observation later that night. Anton and Pamela stayed with her whilst Ashley and Sam were sent home by Anton's driver to secure their safety but before that, he talked to his sister's best friend and pacified him. Telling him that the accident was nothing to do with him and that he shouldn't blame himself for it. He also told the two that he would send his men to look into it and investigate the whole matter secretly to discover the culprits behind it. He tried to call Terrence but the latter's mobile phone was off and couldn't be reached. It was then that he recollected that his friend was out of the country for an urgent business trip.The following day…"Ugh!" Athena started to groan in pain while clutching her head. She finally regained her consciousness but her eyes were tightly shut. She tried to move but her body seemed to be so heavy that she failed to shift into another position.Pamela is closer to Athena's bed thus the latter was qui
Earlier that day, Athena's attending physician told her brother, Anton that her CT scan results were luckily fine thanks to her airbags though. She was discharged from the hospital at noon and was sent to her apartment. Knowing that she had Ashley and Sam close to her, Athena insisted on staying in her apartment. Anton and Pamela were left with no choice but to be obliged to her caprices but before that they managed to leave a few words for her friends to keep an eye on her for the next couple of hours. "Can you guys watch over her for a couple of hours?" Anton seemed to be uncertain with his words as he eyed Sam and Ashley intently."Brother, I'm not a kid anymore. You don't have to treat me like a child. I can handle myself." Athena groaned, ostensibly getting impatient at her brother's insistence."Don't worry man, I will spend the night here just to keep a close eye on her." Sam assured as he tapped Anton's shoulder. Anton released out a long sigh. "Okay. I'll leave her to your
A country…The sky was clear yet the surroundings remained freezing cold. Last night, it was snowing heavily. The streets were covered with frost. Terrence stirred into another position, reaching for his blankets to cover himself. His eyes snapped wide open when his palm touched something warm. His head jerked to his side and found a woman. Her creamy back displayed in his view. He suddenly jumped out of his bed, alarmed and baffled. He looked down, checking on his lower part of the body. He was still wearing his jeans. He sighed in relief. He was certain that nothing had happened between him and the woman but her appearance in his room still made him confused.'Where the hell did this woman come from?' he thought furiously to himself.He tried to recall what happened last night.*** flashback ***After his hours of flight, Terrence directed himself to ADAMS International branch without further delay. The agreement between him and his wife was pushed aside as he planned to call her w
A week later…There was a sudden ruckus happening at the exit. The reporters are swarming up aiming their cameras at a passage. The media personnels was set to welcome the CEO of ADAMS INTERNATIONAL after solving their company crisis overseas in just a week. Terrence appeared at NY airport with Hannah, standing gracefully beside him. He faced the reporters defiantly and answered their questions satisfactorily one at a time. His cold gaze was aimed at the camera without faltering. For a few seconds, he remained silent, seemingly wanting to add something but then he shook his head."That would be all, thank you."He was about to pass by the reporters but another reporter eagerly chimes in."Mr. Adams, can you tell us about the beautiful lady, standing beside you?""Yes, Mr. Adams. Is she your girlfriend?" Another reporter butted in.Hannah's eyes began sparkling in anticipation. She gazed at the man of her dreams tenderly, flashing a sweet smile. Her head held up high proudly while wai
The following day at around afternoon, Athena was discharged from the hospital. Assisted by Ashley, she went to her godfather's mansion to see him and might as well stay for her full recuperation.She was still looking weak and pale but her emitted aura seemed off. She exuded a cold and intimidating stance when her eyes swept over the entire living room where Mr. Monroe's bodyguards are currently stationed. She had an indifferent look showcased on her face as she stormed into the massive room."Where is he?" She asked, facing Ashley, with a slight frown in her face."He was probably somewhere dealing with some other stuff. Why don't we go upstairs first and let you rest for a while?" Ashley suggested."Okay. Let's go up." She mumbled shortly then they proceeded to go up. They arrived in her usual occupied room after a few minutes.Athena dragged a strangled breath upon entering her room. Everything inside was new to her sight but it was refreshing. She finds the room's ambiance relax
Athena's heart skipped a beat upon hearing the man's raspy voice over the line. Somehow from the corners of her mind, it brought her a sense of familiarity. Instinctively after a few seconds, she asked who the guy was without thinking further. It took her a few seconds to wait before he answered her question."Tell me where you are and I'll pick you up." He uttered curtly. His voice sounds somehow stirred something through her depths.She frowned as her veins began pulsating in irritation. She seemed to have felt that she was in the same situation before but she couldn't just point out when. "I'm talking to Anton Stanford and not someone else." She gritted out."I'm not someone else. I'm your husband." He insisted. Now his voice seems to sound a little annoyed.Athena ignored the man's rants and directed her words to her sibling according to her ledger. "I'm coming tomorrow, Anton. Can you perhaps pick me up at the airport?"Anton agreed without hesitation. "Of course. I love to pick
"She sounds weird!" Anton exclaimed in disbelief after hearing the loud beeping tone on the line. "This was the first time that she called me by my name." He sounds genuinely suspicious about his sibling's unnatural interrogation. He had grown to Athena's weird temper but she never showed such behavior like this. She was speaking to him similar to a stranger and not his little sister. Somehow, he felt guilty for not paying so much attention to her and now she turned out like this while their parents were gone to another country. They had instructed him to watch over his sister but he seems to have neglected their words due to his busy schedule. He felt utterly guilty for that!Terrence gulped his liquor in one go before he forced himself to talk. "Let's have a bet." He proposed. Judging from Athena's reaction when she heard him chiming into their conversation, he was certain that she had broken her promise. She took those pills again and this time, she succeeded in forgetting him. H
Athena had already accepted everything thus she couldn't withdraw and go back on her words. Besides, it was rare for a person to have two identities so she took it without hesitation because she found it favorable on her side now that she was aiming at something. She got plans and being ZENITH MONROE is a good counter for those who loathed her as Athena Stanford.The moment everything transpired, Athena boarded the MONROE GROUP'S private jet and went back to NY City. This time, she was different from being her usual self. She went back as another person. Perhaps because she had suffered memory loss that everything seemed to be so odd and new to her. The flight that usually takes 13 hours only took 10 therefore she arrived at the airport earlier than the expected hours.Trailing behind her, Ashley couldn't help feeling extremely elated. "Miss Zenith, I had a feeling that coming back to this city is gonna be worth it this time."The woman raised her eyebrows in confusion as she tilted h
