ALPHA MALE. "When were you going to come in?", Athina said almost in a whisper."You look bad, what's wrong?", he asked instead, the thought of coming to get his mail, flew out of his head."Is that why you have been patrolling tro and fro the door?", Her lips quirked slightly upward."I guess that it's a positive answer to my question, what's wrong?.....", he paused, before letting himself inside the house, not before Athina's hesitation of him coming inside.His brow creased in a deep frown, "Why was she not allowing me to come in?", he questioned himself.While he was already inside, he looked back at Athina who stood by the side of the door, not daring to come stand an inch beside him.His gaze travelled from the edge of her hair to the toes of her feet, before his eyes reached her feet, his eyes rested on the swell of her hips, which had reduced so much."You haven't been eating",

  IN THE CLAWS OF A POSSESSIVE FREAK Brandon walked into the conference room, he had this weary and furious look on his face. How eyes rested on Athina, as he went to sit down. It wasn't just him that came for the meeting, there were other Eatery owners seated in their different chairs.He looked around the room, looking for one person in particular and when he didn't find who he was looking for, his blazen eyes calmed. A grin plastered all over his face, at least since the man, Colton, wasn't around, he was sure he would be able to get his way with Athina today.It had been long, it really had been long.When Athina noticed his piercing gaze on her, she quickly dropped her gaze away from him. She didn't want to remember what Colton had said about the man, but she strongly held onto the fact that he would never want to hurt her.No one knows about her past life, excluding her best friend, so she was wondering

  COLD SHOULDERSMaria walked into Athina's office, with an impassive look on her face, she stopped right in front of Athina's table and began stomping her heel on the marble tiled floor to gain Athina's attention."Hey", Maria gestured towards her, waving her both hands at Athina's face."Earth to Athina", she said to her."Ohh God!!", Athina gasped. "For how long have I been like this?", she questioned."I have stood here for almost three minutes, eight minutes ago, I have been ringing your phone, but you weren't picking, so I think maybe it would be up to ten minutes, if it's not even more", Maria responded, drawing the seat back, as she glued her ass to it."Hey, best friend, are you alright?", Maria questioned."Ohh yeah, I am, why do you ask?", She retorted."I was just asking as a best friend, and as a personal assistant to you, and really... it's just that", Maria paused, not wanting to s

 THE VENOMOUS SHOCKER ATHINA'S POVMr Brandon was the last person I expected seeing in my house, I hated him, I still do, everything he did to me, in the past, made the hatred I had for him even worse and yet, knowing what he was capable of doing to me intensified the hatred I had for him.He could kill me, moreso butcher me, infact he could do whatever he wanted to do to me and no one, definitely no one would give a fuck about it. The man was dangerous, very dangerous. Everything Colton said about him stalking me, I believed it, I believe every one of it, but I just could not open up to him.I didn't want him to know what the man was capable of doing, because I know for sure that Colton can't do anything, he's just a mere bodyguard, he even leans on me to survive. I didn't want him to suffer for my past life, for my mistake. I didn't want that.If someone had woken me up from sleep and told me that Mr Brandon would

 SMARTLY CORNERED COLTON'S POV.I watched as the bastard drove out of the house, an evil smirk plastered over his face. The dude even had the guts to place kisses on the both sides of Athina's cheeks before entering his car.I know what he was doing, he was trying to get to me, but no, I wasn't going to fall for it again. For the fact that he didn't touch her or try to do something stupid, that was better enough.He wanted me to race out like a bull dog and come attack me, so he could sum up two or three evidence against me, and boom, I would be labelled the bad guy.Ohh of course I am the bad guy, but... not in his own stupid meaning of bad guys. People who engage in women trafficking were no bad guys, just some shits of guys who don't have a single piece of soul left in them.He knows I'm watching, he fucking knows that, so he was trying to play me like a pianist, someone who had been trained to play the strings.
