Chapter Four

Once her eyes met with those emerald green eyes of hers, Athena nearly drooled at them – how could a man appear this enchanting?

He had this usual pale skin, yet his whitish colored hair complimented it amazingly. Asides from that, his outfit, although simple, made him more surreal. A simple t-shirt but with the sleeves rolled up, and a few buttons opened, his well chiseled chest was in view. 

Athena was certain this individual was more than six feet and with this type of appearance, it made her wonder why he wasn't drowned in the pool of women. 

But should she be really thinking about something like that in this situation? 

Silently, he leaned closer to Athena, only to make her palpate suddenly. She assumed he wanted to take advantage of her body like Luke, but unexpectedly, Athena had a handful of her hair gripped. 

Liam' fingers clenched the fluffy curls of her red hair, with his face mere inches from hers – she could practically feel his minty breath. 

"The pendant, you have until the end of this evening to provide it. Okay?" Liam hushed and she nodded her head shakily. 

He straightened up then turned to leave. "A guard will be assigned to you. If you're not back before 7pm, I'll track you down again, and once you're caught without my pendant, you're my property".

His utterance sent countless shivers down Athena's spine, yet she couldn't speak as he walked out. 

Once he left, her jaw dropped in amazement. What had she gotten herself into?

Soon, the cab driver came in to untie her. Afterward, he led Athena into a posh limousine.

Despite how much she dissented, her newly assigned bodyguard refused to wait for her in the limo. Perhaps he assumed that she would run off, so he trailed after Athena to Caleb ward. 

Yes, the sole person she could think of running to for help was Caleb – he technically was the only person she had in the entire world. 

Again, the money generated from selling the pendant did go into his operation. Athena assumed they'd both figure something out, unless it would spell her complete slavery to the Graveyard leader. 

The thought of being a slave to Luke made her tremble in disgust – no doubt he would turn her into a sex slave. Athena would rather die than give her virginity to a man like Luke - never!

That wasn't the only thing that frightened her; to say Liam didn't make her skin crawl was a big fat lie. 

She did admire his beautiful appearance, yet she feared him. She needed Caleb to pour her heart to, so increased her pace to his ward. 

Once she arrived, Athena glared coldly at the guard. "There's not a chance in hell you're going in here with me. Just wait here, it won't kill you, trust me" she rolled her eyes nastily at him. 

Athena grabbed hold of the doorknob, twisted it then pulled it just to behold the most heartbreaking and shocking scene of her entire life. 

Her jaw dropped swiftly and so did her heart shatter too. Her eyes, now enlarged, kept gawking at Caleb who's been riding enthusiastically by… Sandra – the fucking doctor!

They were absolutely engrossed in their sensual love making since her moans dominated the entire room. 

"N-no!" Athena's legs gave way as her butt kissed the floor, hardly yet she maintained her gaze on them. By now, her entire body shivered uncontrollably like that of a drenched cat. 

Caleb and Sandra, on the other hand, were in the middle of their hot workout. His hands were gripping her naked backside possessively while she bounced, twisted and twerked crazily on him. 

The sounds of her moans weren't controlled, since she kept moaning like a bear in heat. Athena's pains and tears couldn't be controlled as they poured out in multiples. 

The guard Flynn noticed how dumbfounded she seemed and when he snuck a peek into the ward, he shook his head at the sight. Her boyfriend was something. 

He gazed at her, then pulled out his gun. 

"You need a gun?" he questioned causally, and Athena stood up shakily from the ground. 

Sharply she took it from him, then without thinking stepped into the ward. Her eyes were bloodshot red as she aimed at Sandra's thigh. 

Once she pulled the trigger and the bullet pierced Sandra, they noticed her presence. 

"Christ!" Sandra screamed in excruciating pains as she rolled off Caleb, who became fearful. His eyes dimmed shockingly at the sight of Athena with a gun. 

"A-Athena? Li… Listen!" he tried to explain, but she shut him up by shooting three consecutive bullets into his right leg. He shouted in agony, but Athena couldn't care less. 

To think, she trusted and got herself into such a mess with some mafias because of this piece of shit!

It hurt – it hurt to the extent she couldn't even scream at him.

"I… I… fuck you, Caleb! Screw you" her voice came as a mutter before she left them wailing in pain. 

In the limo, she bowed her head and whimpered while Flynn began driving. Athena didn't mind the presence of Flynn as she poured her heart out, and he glanced at her through the rearview mirror. He sighed gently before speaking:

"A bar. That's what you need".

_______________

Throughout the entire ride, her tears didn't cease even for a second. How could it when her heart has been shattered into several pieces? To think that Caleb would betray her in such a way made her feel suffocated. 

Why would he do this to her? She was ready to give him everything that made her who she is. Was it her constant delay of them having sexual intercourse that led to him cheating?

"He…he promised to wait. He…!" again, she began balling her eyes out, but this time Flynn didn't attempt to glance at her. She needed to let her emotions out – not like he cared, but he had been in a situation like that before.
