❝ Baby, we tried to fight it ❞

The ride to my parents wasn't long. The music playing in the car calmed my nerves.

I had a feeling that something big was going to happen. I gulped and thanked the driver as he opened the door for me.

He nodded with a slight smile before driving off. I took a deep breath, the cool wind blowing across my face. The guards opened the front door, nodding at me. I didn't see any unusual cars when I arrived, so I doubt they're here yet.

" Mom, Dad " I called entering the kitchen. Mom was racing around, barking orders at the maids while my dad was nowhere to be seen.

" Athena! Hello dear, when did you arrive? " Mom asked out of breath. " Just now, where's dad? " I asked her. She took a deep breath, exhaling slowly.

" He's in his office. " She smiled. I nodded hugging her before going up to dad's office.

I gently knocked, walking in. " Athena, have a seat. " He said without looking up. I hummed taking a seat in front of him.

" These are the people who will be visiting us tonight. " He said, slapping three files in front of me. " No bodyguards? " I asked suspiciously, glancing at the files. " Mr. Fedorov wants to gain our trust. " Dad explained. I nodded examining the files.

Jaxon King was the first name I saw. A gasp accidentally slipped past my lips.

" What is it? " Dad asked raising his eyebrow. I shook my head. He was the man we saw at the club. If Josie had known him, she would've already told me.

The next file was a Shawna Kristov. She was tall, extremely tall.

I hummed, about to open the last file when someone barged into the office.

" Sir! The Russian mafia is h-here! " He stuttered, probably scared to death. They are very intimidating people. Dad nodded, standing up a cold mask covering his face. I mirrored his expression, standing up.

A look of pride filled his eyes.

" Let's go. " His voice was slightly deeper.

I shook my head, following him downstairs. I could've felt the thick tension when we arrived.

All the maids were trembling in fear. My mother scrambled to dad's side, he moved over a protective stance in front of her.

Gosh, I wish I had their kind of love.

Now is not the time for this Athena!

The two people I saw from the files were standing by the door, the man already eyeing me.

We meet again buddy.

Wait, didn't it say three people? The front door opened again and a man stepped through, a dark feeling settled inside me. I notice Damien from the corner of my eyes, standing protectively next to me, his chest puffed out.

The air was thick with tension, it almost felt like I couldn't breathe. Exhaling slowly, I clasped my hands behind my back turning to look at the man.

My body froze tensing up. Oh shit.

The man - the boss might I say was the man I slept with when we went to the club. Panic filled my body.

I tried moving behind Damien before he recognized me. Luck was on my side when the sound of glass breaking came from the kitchen. I glanced at my father as he gave me a nod.

All the way, I felt a burning gaze on me.

A maid was trembling, her hands shaking vigorously. " M-ms I d-didn't mean t-to. " She stuttered, fear lacing her words. I hummed glancing at the broken glass. " It's okay, clean this up and leave for the rest of the day. " I smiled patting her shoulder. She nodded, hurriedly getting to work.
