ATHENA's POV

The brown ceiling was the first thing that I was saw upon opening my eyes. I groaned and then stretched my arms over my head. I felt stiff all over and still sleepy. I cupped my forehead when I felt my head ache. I looked around, still in a sleepy state when my eyes widened upon realizing that I was in an unfamiliar room.

I sat up abruptly in panic and was about to get out of bed when I felt something. I looked under the sheets and my eyes almost came out of its socket when I saw that I was only wearing an oversized shirt. Aside from that, nothing.

Cazzo! Where am I?! How come, I'm here in this place?!

Then, my questions were answered when everything came back to me. I almost face-palmed. I couldn't remember where Maximus brought me to because I fell asleep in the car. I didn't have the energy to argue and fight because my body felt weak and tired.

My cheeks reddened upon remembering what happened after he rescued me from those two men...

"Are you okay, mi hermosa?" I heard Maximus ask but I ignored him. My eyes were closed and I was already shaking in cold. I wanted to remove my wet clothes but I didn't have any change of clothes. Even Maximus was all drenched up.

We've been on the road for about 20 minutes already and I couldn't care less of where we were heading to anymore because I began to feel terrible and weak inside.

I felt like I was going to get a fever because of staying under the rain for so long. My clothes were still wet and I was already cold. He'd been telling me to take off my wet clothes but I didn't listen to him.

He's been throwing me weird glances while his jaw was flexing tightly.

"Damn it!" I heard Maximus grunt before pulling up the car on the shoulder of the road. He pulled the handbrake to keep the car still before going out and opened the trunk without turning off the engine of the car.

After a couple of seconds, he came back inside and then threw the thing that he was holding to the backseat. I didn't even recognize what he took from the car because my eyes were half-closed.

The rain was still pouring hard but I didn't care anymore. I felt weak that I couldn't do anything but to close my eyes and decided to sleep. I hugged myself, trying to seek for any heat and comfort but it was futile. The heater of the car was on but it wasn't enough.

Ever since I was a child, I've never spent that long under the rain. I couldn't even remember an instance where I got drenched in the rain because my nanny and royal guards were always there for me. They always have anything that I need like umbrella and other stuff.

Then, I opened my eyes when I felt his hands on my top. I scowled at him.

"What do you think you're doing?" I asked when I saw that he was unbuttoning my top.

"Removing your wet clothes. If you won't do it then I'll be the one to remove it for you." My eyes widened.

"And why would you do that?! Don't tell me you're—" He put a finger on my lips to silence me.
