Twenty-two-year-old Athena Paulsen's life is a never-ending tragedy, but on the surface everything seems fine. A fine daughter, dependable sister, successful entrepreneur and renowned doctor. She is the envy of the town. But if you pull the curtain...
"Can you please cancel your plan" Evelyn asked while sitting on my bed. "Why?" I asked "I don't want you to go" she said while pouting. I smiled at her childish behavior.
"You know it's not my first time going on business trip" i said while sitting beside her. "I know but i want you to cancel your trip" she said. I know that she is hiding something from me. "Tell me the truth Evelyn don't beat around the bush" i said sternly.
"I am scared " she said while hugging me. I wrapped my arms around her "But why?" I asked "Now you're dealing with those Russian and Brazilian mafias and i am scared that they might try to kill you when you're away from your hometown " she said. Just few days ago i told about them and she wasn't very happy with my decision.
"Don't worry they won't " i assured her "But if they " she said. "Eve you know this deal is very important and i am only going for 3 days. " i said. "I know this is your dream project and that's why you going to phillipines personal to sign the deal " she said. "Don't worry i will be fine ok and plus those mafia's might be a white collar criminal but still they have some morals and principles" i explained.
"Ok fine but promise me that you will take care of yourself and don't get yourself in any problem, your life is very important and i can't afford to lose you" she said. "I promise "
"So you're done with your packing " she asks while looking at my luggage "Yea almost " i said. "So when are you leaving for airport " she asks "In half an hour" i said while looking at my watch. "Can i come to drop you" she asks "Sure" i said after that she left to get ready and i decided to take a shower.
I brushed my teeth and took the longest and most relaxing bath in a long-long time. I relaxed in the hot water and just let my brain relax and release all the stress. I cleansed my body to make my skin glow and feel fresh.
I also applied some special conditioner and shampoo for my hair and gave the same treatment to my face using a special aloe-Vera based herbal face wash.
After drying my hair and wearing my comfy undergarments, I put on my outfit. I decided to wear a white sweater and a black skirt. The winter has started in new York and weather is bit cold. That's why i decided to wear this clothes. I paired my outfit with black boots and tied my hair in a ponytail.

After that i walked downstairs with my luggage. Evelyn was already waiting for me. "Let's go " she said and i nodded my head in yes.
We reached the airport within 30mins. I stepped out of the car with my luggage. I gave Evelyn a goodbye hug. "Be safe ok" i said "You too" she said and pulled my cheeks.
I walked towards the private section were my private jet is waiting. I boarded the plane and took a window seat. After sometime the pilot came and greeted me. "Good morning ma'am. We are ready to fly now" i gave him a nod 'Ladies and gentlemen , welcome on board service from New york to Manila. We are currently in first line for take-off and are expected to be in air within seven minutes. Please turn off all personal electronic devices, including laptops and cell phones. Enjoy your flight ' i heard someone giving the instructions.
