Athena

It's been a busy day. Today was my day off from the restaurant but I had another freelance job to do so I was never free . And I liked it like that, I was at the doctor this morning to do a checkup. The baby was okay. I was in my first trimester which was good . Overall the doctor said I was okay and so was the baby . I was actually at home right now sitting in front of my laptop doing some work. God it was good that my morning sickness has eased up a bit .I haven't thrown up that much. I made lasagna to eat so I wouldn't be making dinner. I sat throughout the day doing my work when I checked the time it was 5:00 p.m. I meant to get a drink and I realized the fridge wasn't working. Oh God what was wrong again so I got my phone and I called Sam my neighbor.

“Hello Kelly, how are you today?”

“ Hi Sam, something is wrong with my refrigerator again. It just stopped. I don't know how long it's been off, I just checked it . Could you please take a look at it for me because ,it's already late and I won't be able to get anyone from the store to check it for me”

“ Sure I'll be right over ”

“You're not busy are you ?”

“Of course not”

“ Okay thank you Sam, I'll be waiting for you ”

Within five minutes he was at my door, so I opened the door to let him in .

“Hey Kelly, how are you ?”

“I just told you I'm fine”

“ Yeah I kind of forgot that, so let me check the fridge for you”

“Thank you Sam ,I really can't tell you how much I appreciate you doing this for me ”

“It's no problem ,if you want to thank me you can make me a cake”

I started laughing because I was good at baking .“I'll think about that”

I was standing in the kitchen with him. While he pulled the fridge out from its place . He was checking it when I heard the doorbell. That's weird. I wasn't expecting any deliveries. The doorbell rang again and Sam looked at me .

“Aren't you going to answer that ?”

“I don't think I should ,I'm not expecting anything or anyone”

“ Okay I'll answer it for you”

I let him walk to the front door and open it .I wasn't taking any chances I was in the kitchen. I was grabbing a glass of water when I heard him arguing with someone.

“You show up at my fucking door and asking me who I am?”

So I walked out when I walked out into the living room I froze. The glass of water slipped from my hands,“ Princess ”

No ,no you're not supposed to be here”

“Time to go home princess ”

He tried walking towards me and Sam stepped in front of him .

“Sam it's okay”

“Are you sure ?Do you know him, Kelly?”

“Yes he's my husband ”

“Wait, your husband? but I don't see you wearing a ring ?”

Daniel just looked at me and smiled and that was all it took for me to break down. I didn't think I rushed into him and held on to him. I started crying.

“ I missed you so much ”

“I missed you too princess ,come on it's time to go home ”

“I can't he's going to hurt you , he's going to hurt Riley , Natalie ,Cyrus your parents‘

“ Athena look at me ”

So looked at him

“I have Sean and when I let him go he's going straight into FBI custody .His father is going to get arrested .His mother was at my parents office early today and she told us some things. We're going to make sure they go away for a very long time ”

“Are you sure I'm sure”

I saw Greg standing outside

“Greg how are you”

“ I'm okay Mrs chase , Sir Brandon and I will wait in the car or we can head back to the airfield”

“ Greg, why don't you send Brandon back to New York. I'll be here for a while”.

“Okay sir ”

Sam just looked at Daniel and me .“Wait what's going on? you're his wife?” .

“Yes I am ”

“So your name isn't Kelly?”

“ No my name is Athena Chase , Mrs Athena chase”

“ But you don't look anything like his wife”

“ I know”

“ I'll leave you guys alone cause it seems like you guys have a lot of catching up to do, oh the fridge, it's not good you need a new replacement ”

“It's okay Sam ,as it is I won't be staying here ”

After he left Daniel just closed the door and looked at me .“What did you do to your hair ?take it off?”

I looked at him.“ It's not a wig, that day I decided I had to kill Athena if she was no longer alive then Sean would stop ”

“You cut your hair?”

“I'm Sorry , I know you loved my hair”

“Why did you color it black?”

“ I don't know black just seem appropriate”

“ I missed you princess ”

“I missed you too”

All it took was one touch from him. I kissed him because I missed him. I kissed him because I needed to. I kissed him because I wanted to. I was always amazed at the way my body reacted to him . It only took one touch from him.

Daniel

When we got to Texas it was almost five. When he pulled up in front of the house I had Brandon kill all the security cameras that she had . So she wouldn't know I was coming, but when the door opened I was not expecting another man standing there. I just looked at him .“Who are you”

He was fucking rude, when she saw me she dropped the glass she was holding. I know she was scared, when he started asking her who I was. It pissed me off. I wasn't a jealous person but he was fucking pissing me off. But from the way she spoke to him I realized he was interested in her but she had no interest in him . After he left I just held her . She cut her hair God damn it .I loved her hair but it was just hair. the minute I touched her I knew what it would lead to but I didn't want to do that . But she took matters into her own hands, when she kissed me that kiss was all it took . She started moaning into my mouth .I pulled away from her slightly to look at her .

“Let me look at you ”

“I'm okay Jae ”

“Have you been sick?”

“ No”

“ Morning sickness?”

“ No it's almost over”

“How's the baby? How far along are you?”

“3 months, the baby is fine Daniel”

“ I came to take you home princess”

“ I'm scared ”

“Don't be ,I'm taking you home and I'll hire extra security for the house. You're not going anywhere, not until we get all of this under control. No one is coming over to see you, if they do you'll find a way to get them into the apartment. For the doctor's appointment I'm going to have Marshall come home to see you. I know you're going to get tired of staying in the house, but it's for your own protection, princess . I don't want you here .I need you in front of me, I need you by my side to be with me and trust that I'll protect you. I'm sorry I didn't protect you that night I'm sorry princess” .

“It's okay Jae, he was already in the washroom waiting, I didn't see him before it was too late. He had a gun behind my head and there was something different in his eyes that night it's like he was he's getting more dangerous ”

“What happened when he took you?”

“ I tried to fight him and he hit me and I I guess I blacked out when I woke up I was at that cabin. I tried to run but he dragged me inside and just dropped me on the bed ”.She started crying. I just held her .

“It's okay princess”

“ He raped me Daniel, he did it again but this time I didn't give him the satisfaction of screaming and because I didn't scream I didn't yell he cut me up, he kept me for 2 weeks Daniel 2 weeks”

“ I'm sorry princess, I really am”

“ One day he came back with the paper, and he was reading it to me that you had a reward out for me. I just told him I wanted to use the washroom . He was standing right there. I just asked him to turn around . When he did I just, I don't know, I just, I thought I killed him ?”

“Well you didn't princess he's still alive”.

“Do we have to leave right away?”

“ No we don't we can stay here for while”

“ Thank you, I missed you so much”

“ I missed you too love ”
