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
Ding!Athena had just arrived at Monroe's ancestral home when Terrence sent her an address. She opened the message and read through the content as she stepped down from the limo. She had her eyes glued on her screen the whole time until she reached the foyer."I'll see you at 345 N Lemon St. Ocean Breeze Villa in an hour." His message was demanding.She realized that the location he sent was one of their conjoined properties where they stayed together just a week ago before everything turned out of control according to what she had written on her ledger . She didn't want to step into that place again as it only brought endless turmoil in her mind thus she typed and sent. "I can't.""Why not?" He replied."Send me another location." She demanded, refusing to answer his question."This is the only place I know where we could talk in peace." He replied shortly.Athena's fingers trembled in irritation as she typed another message to counter on him. "Should I choose a good place for us to
Hearing such blatant explanation, Athena pursed her lips and swallowed silently. Somehow, deep in her heart she felt extreme bitterness for some unknown reason. 'Why do I feel like this? Why does my chest hurt so bad?' she thought inwardly while chewing all his simple words. Her hand reached for her chest, rubbing it unconsciously in a daze.Terrence noticed her little movements and suddenly became worried. "Are you okay?" He asked as his eyes followed her hand that kept on rubbing her heart's location. A light glinted past his eyes as somehow he realized something with her reaction. Could it be that she felt even a little uncomfortable because of his words? Though he seems unsure, he was hoping for the best thus he felt a little better because of it. At the very least, his heart had slowly calmed down and pacified."I'm fine." She replied shortly and after a few seconds, she managed to gather herself together. Displaying an indifferent look, she looked at him dead in the eye and spo
Terrence paused on his movements and stared at her. Somehow, deep within, he felt relieved after hearing her words as he himself couldn't actually imagine if their divorce would take place… He had plenty of thoughts swirling inside his head and it was all about her… Whatever he was planning behind her back, it was also dedicated to her… Everything has gone clearer now and he realized his mistakes. Hence, he wanted to make it up to her by doing something big… A huge surprise for her…He sighed deeply as he seated on the bedside closer to her. "Perhaps we can reach an agreement rather than getting a divorce… what do you think?" He proposed more similarly like a businessman rather than a husband talking to his wife...Athena blinked her eyes and stared back at him. Their gazes locked within a few seconds before she opened her mouth to speak. "I seemed to sense something odd…" she mumbled, sounding rather suspicious. Her eyes never left his face as she went on, "... aren't you supposed t
