These past few days have been fun for Maxwell. For a second, he didn't think that he would want to leave his grandpa's house for anything. However, he had to go back to his old life, living with the Fairmonts with everyday problems.At the door, Athena welcomed him with a hug.She couldn't express how much she had missed his presence around the house. Of course he missed her too, but it's nothing compared to how much he was going to miss his grandpa and uncle Zander. He didn't have much of a chance to spend with Mirabella because she was always working, which made him feel lazy. If Mirabella could work so hard for such long hours despite all the money he has in her name, then he has to do more and better when he finally resumes his position. Grandpa had told him all he needed to know, but deep down in his heart, he was sure the Wilmores had another huge surprise for him."How was your day with your grandpa?" Athena asked. Max furrowed his brows, recalling that he had told her he was

"How dare he try that with me?" Athena spoke angrily as she got into her car and drove back home. She had thought she was going out to meet some reasonable people, but now she knows better. How dare he reply to that mail when he knew he was never going to show up?She got into the car and turned on the ignition. She got straight to the house and banged on the car door. She clutched her bag and began to walk inside the house."You are back so early, Maxwell said to Athena. She sighed deeply, brushing past him and placing her bag on the table."Can you imagine the old man? He said he left all he had to just have breakfast with me.First, I thought he was joking until he tried to touch me."No way". Maxwell's eyes widened. He could see the frustration in Athena's eyes as she spoke, but all he could do was feign laughter. "It's not even funny. These men are something else, jeez! He bluntly told me he wasn't going to pay for the 40 percent cancellation fee. Well, I don't know what else to

Very early the next day, Duncan didn't hesitate to return the news to his mother. He stopped a few blocks away from her home and thought about how he was going to convey the message to her without receiving any insults from her. He knows his mother too well to deliver such a clumsy message.A colorful butterfly flew past the car and then returned to rest on the windscreen wiper. Duncan examined it for a while and smiled. If only his life could be as beautiful as the little creature flapping its tiny wings before him.He took a deep breath and made up his mind to tell his mother the way it was. If she rains insults on him, that's fine; he would shake it off and continue his life. He is not the first person to fail in business; others did not send anyone to kill them for failing.He sighed and turned on the ignition. In a few minutes, he had parked in front of his mother's billion-dollar mansion. He stepped out of the car dressed in a simple, plain white shirt and chinos, a pair of Nike

The alarm chimed non-stop until Athena got out of bed. She sighed and grudgingly got into the bathroom to turn on the water heater. Her headache from one side. She suffered a slight headache before going to bed the previous night. She sat on the edge of the bed and dozed a little more. She picked up her wrist watch on the nightstand and stared blankly into it. Her eyes blurred. She wiped the dried crust from her eyes and sniffed. Her eyes seemed puffy from lack of rest.By then, she felt the water had hit her enough that she turned the heater off and undressed. She didn't waste much time in the bathroom.It was 6:30 a.m. when she got out of the bathroom. She stood in front of her dressing mirror and smiled at herself. If not for Maxwell's help and through her decision-making, she would have been crawling back to beg them, but instead the reverse was the case. Even though Grandma and Uncle Duncan did not crawl, she was happy she wasn't the one begging after all they did to her. She

The next day, while at work, Athena had just finished a meeting with the department heads. She was sitting right in her office when Maggie came in with the news of a visitor."Ma'am, you have a visitor." Maggie said. "Who could that be?" Athena asked without raising her head."Some Sebastian Bash". "Sabastian Bash?" She repeated, raising her eyes to look at Maggie's with suspicion. "Yes Ma'am"Athena hesitated for a while before answering. "Please let him in"."Ait Maam". Maggie answered with a bow and went out the door. A few minutes later, she appeared through the door, with Sabastian walking majestically behind her."There goes the most beautiful woman in the whole wide world." She chanted with a big smile spread across his face. "Sabastian, what are you doing here?" Athena asked as she rose up from her seat.With boldness on his lips and pride spreading on his square shoulders, he spoke directly to Athena, "C'mon girl, is that how you welcome your admirer, huh?" Athena spott
