Chapter 4

Athena

When Sean walked in I was afraid every time I saw him I was scared ,but when Daniel stepped in front of him I was no longer scared for me but for Daniel.

I wanted to believe he was different ,that he wasn't like Sean. I wanted to trust him but I didn't know if I could. He was helping me out of pity. He's been here since he brought me ,why would he stay?. A nurse walked into the room.

"Your husband is really handsome"

Seriously, god some women are too much

"Yes he is", i said half hertedly

After she changed the bandage she gave me some pain medication just then Daniel walked in.

"What are you giving her?"

"Just some medication for the pain, I'm assuming your wife drinks?"

He just looked at me. I nodded slightly.

"Yes she does "

"Well this won't be any different, it's going to numb the pain but she'll be out of it she's going to feel high,fun and adventurous, and the fun part is she won't remember it".

After She left, Daniel sat in the chair next to me .

" we'll be leaving soon okay"

oh shit the medicine was kicking in i started laughing and i don't know why .

"Athena are you okay?"

I looked at him and tried to focus but I couldn't, so I gave up. I sat up and looked at him. I pulled him into the bed with me. I could take this for myself.

Daniel

When she grabbed my shirt and pulled me onto the bed I realized I was in trouble, she wouldn't remember this but I would. I tried to release her fingers but she wouldn't let go.

"You're really handsome"

hmm maybe I would enjoy this

"Am I ?"

"Yes you are "

She started stroking my face when she crushed her lips to mine. I gave up the last of my restraints. I've never wanted to consume something more in my life. In that minute she tasted delicious. At first she was hesitant as if unsure but when she tilted her head and deepened the kiss .I knew I would do whatever it took to keep her with me. She kissed with such passion like she was starved for it.When I slipped my tongue into her mouth and she moaned I almost lost it but I had to stop .

For her sake I pulled away from her slowly and looked at her. She had a smile on her face. I brushed a few stray hairs away from her face ,my hand accidentally brushed her neck and a small moan escaped her lips. Holy fuck, she was going to be fun to play with . she just looked at me smiling. I saw it happening ,she was going to pass out . I barely grabbed her in time . I put her to lay down and sat looking at her .I already had her discharge papers. I was now waiting on Greg and Mark to return.

By the time they get back the jet will be here. I sat looking at her sleep. She was beautiful , perfect in every single way.

An older nurse came in to check her bandage before we left. I didn't look at her but I heard her .

"How long have you been married"

"Just a few months"

"That's nice, she's a beautiful young lady and she has so many cuts on her body"

That caught my attention, so I stood up and walked over to her. I wasn't prepared to see that, she had multiple cuts on her stomach . Did she get stabbed just what the fuck did he do to her.

"Her ex-boyfriend",

"I see ,take good care of her "

I tried not to let my anger show

"Sir the jet is here"

"Okay"

The nurse pulled out the IV lines and everything else. I picked her up and headed to the elevator. I got into the car with her and we headed to the airfield .

The entire drive I kept looking at her face ,how could he hurt something so precious and so perfect. When we got to the airfield she started coming awake. I was still holding her when she saw where she was. She was a bit shocked .

"Umm where are we?" she asked

"We're at the airfield .

I got out and picked her up and put her to stand next to me she was looking around

"Is that yours? "

I started smiling. This was going to be fun. It was refreshing to actually find someone who was like her.

"Yes one of them "

" How many jets does someone need ".

I just smiled at her. She tried to walk but I saw that she was in pain so I lifted her up and walked up the stairs of the jet . After I got her seated I sat opposite her.

"Are you hungry Athena "?

" Umm no I'm not , sorry but who exactly are you I mean I know who you are but still a little more context would be helpful ".

" Well my name is Daniel Jae Chase. I'm a businessman, more specifically a billionaire business tycoon. I deal in all trades . I'm 31 years old , I was a bachelor until today. I have only one other sibling, a brother. Both my parents are lawyers. "

"Umm wow that's a lot to take in "

" You'll get used to it "

" Umm hanging around billionaire's is not something i aspired to I mean I …"

"It's okay Athena tell me what's one thing you like to do?"

"I like my job "

"And what is it you do "

"I'm a developer specifically a software engineer "

"You don't look likeThat type"

"And what am I supposed to look like?"

"I don't know, two ponytail big glasses"

she started laughing , which meant she was relaxing.

"You really don't have to do this "

"Do what Athena ?"

" Feel like you need to take care of me, you barely know me"

" I'm doing it because the minute I saw you i knew you. i sat by your hospital bed for a month ,waiting for you to open your eyes Athena .I've never been in love i thought i loved someone when i was in highschool buy it wasn't, I spent my college years busy then dropped out of college to start my business .So i never had time for relationships until i saw you".

" I don't know how to feel about this. I don't know if I'm capable of having a relationship".

She looked like she wanted to cry. I sat forward in the chair and held her hand

"Don't think about it, just relax and we'll see where this goes".

She remained quiet for the entire flight. I just sat with my laptop taking care of some business. I texted Greg because I'll need a laptop and phone for her after we landed. It was almost dark when she saw the limo. She just started laughing her laugh was amazing it actually made me feel fucking happy

" Seriously, do you ever travel like a normal person ?"

" If i wanted normal i wouldn't have worked so hard "

She just shook her head after we got in i accidentally touched her waist ,she frozeand her smile was gone.

"I'm sorry Athena i didn't mean to"

"Its okay"

" My father and brother have this theory about the men in our family ,especially when it comes to the women , I'll let my mother explain it to you ".

" I'm sorry but i don't think I'm up to meeting a lot of people yet, I'm grateful for what you're doing but i just need some time "

" It's okay you can talk to them over the phone get to know them, it's the least i can do or my family will probably disown me "

"Okay I'll try "

"I won't mention it to them Athena trust me "

"Okay "

After we got to the underground parking garage, I walked over to the private elevator and put her to stand next to me. She was silent .

" Are you okay Athena ?"

" Yes I'm fine it's just i'm claustrophobic and elevators make me hyperventilate "

I pressed the button and the elevator opened. I turned to look at her.

" Come with me "

She just looked at me for a while and hesitantly stepped in the elevator with me.

" I'm going to touch you Athena "

I turned her to face me and walked up to her, almost touching her.

" Close your eyes "

She did so immediately. I nodded to Greg to get into the elevator, as he did he pushed the button. I could see her breathing pattern change. I bent my head to her ears and whispered to her .

" You're safe here princess, can I hold you?"

She just nodded her head and I wrapped my arms around her. I don't think she realized what she did but she closed the distance between us by moving in closer to me .

Athena

Elevators were a no no for me ,when Daniel told me to close my eyes my first instinct was to shut down and run. But I did what he asked me to do. When he put his arms around me I felt safe, I felt like it was somewhere I knew.

when I felt my head against his chest, I think I stopped breathing for a while. He smelled so good of body wash and cologne and something else ,it felt right I didn't want to leave this.

I could stay here forever if you know fear then you'll know what it feels like to find a safe place.I didn't even hear him saying my name .
