BOOK 2

PROLOGUE

ATHENA's POV

I watched the children happily playing at the garden of that orphanage with a smile on my face. They looked genuinely happy and it made me happy as well. I've been going to this orphanage for over six months now with the purpose of helping the children and make them feel that they're not alone.

"Thank you for always choosing our orphanage, Your Royal highness. Ever since you started coming here, I noticed that the children became cheerful. They even gained weights now because they can finally eat good food. Everyone of them adores you and when Saturday comes, they're so excited while waiting for you to arrive. You're like a big sister that they never had." Mrs. Cuesta said. She's the orphanage's director.

I smiled at her. "I'm glad to hear that. This is my main objective why I chose to help this orphanage. For years, Costavia has always been into helping the orphans but I noticed that this particular orphanage hasn't been getting any attention for so long and I knew that I had to do something."

"And we're very thankful for that, Your Royal Highness." I smiled at her and then nodded my head. After the program, I had to say my goodbye to the children and they became sad.

"Don't worry, guys. I'll be back again next week, okay?"

"Really, Your Royal Highness? Promise?"

"Of course. When did I ever break a promise?" I asked while chuckling and they finally smiled. I said my goodbye to everyone else who was there before exiting the orphanage. My bodyguards automatically alerted as we exited the place.

I have five bodyguards in total and they're very experience of what they do. It has been a year since nonna decided to employ additional bodyguards but until now, I still couldn't get use to it.

One of my bodyguards opened the car door for me and I was about to get in when I heard someone spoke.

"Your Royal Highness, Athena!" I looked at the one who spoke and my lips parted when I saw an older woman in a wheelchair. She was smiling at me while holding a bouquet of beautiful flowers in her hands. Next to her were many different kinds of flowers that she's obviously selling.

My bodyguards automatically blocked the way, preventing the woman from approaching me. I rolled my eyes and then huffed.

"Don't block my way. I want to hear what she's going to say." They obliged right away.

"Of course, Your Royal Highness." They then took a couple of steps away from us. I approached the older woman. I couldn't help but to remember the state I was in 1 year and 6 months ago. Just like her, I was bounded to a wheelchair. I really thought that I wouldn't have the chance to walk any more but someone came into my life and changed my perspective in life.

He made me realize how important life was and that I shouldn't give up just like that. He made me feel loved and I thought, everything about our relationship was endless; that we would have a happy ever after, but I was wrong.

My body stiffened upon realizing where my mind wander to. Don't go there, Athena! He's nothing but a liar!

"This is for you, Your Royal Highness." She handed me the bouquet of flowers. I was pulled out of my reverie upon hearing her voice. I looked at the bouquet of flowers and my body went still when I realized something.
