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...
"ATHENA!!!" Evelyn shouted making me really worried. I quickly ran towards her room and saw her pacing back and forth. "What happened? Why are you shouting?" I asked.
"We have a problem?" She said worriedly. "What exactly are you talking about?" I asked "I forgot to buy a present for Mom" she said with guilt in her eyes "WHAT? Are you kidding me?" I asked
"I'm sorry Athena. I don't know what to do now?" She said. I heaved her sigh. This isn't the first time Evelyn forgot to buy a present for Mom's birthday but this time it's different. It's Mom's 50th birthday.
"Look it's not the first time i forgot to buy a present but today mom's friends are going to come and don't want to be embarrassed infront of them please do something " she said witj pleading eyes. "Don't worry I have taken care of it" i said with a pat on her shoulder. She looked at me confusedly.
"I knew that you will forget to buy a present so i in advance prepared a present on your behalf " i said. "Really!! You're the best sister " she said while hugging me. "Now get ready or else we will get late for the party" i said and she nodded her head in yes.
I walked back to my room and decided to take a shower before i get ready. After taking a long refreshing shower i decided to wear my clothes. I decided to wear a red v neckline fairy sleeves mini dress. I paired my outfit with red heels and matching accessories.

When i was satisfied by my look I decided to walk downstairs. I took out mom's present from the wardrobe. I hope she likes it. I walked inside the living room and found Evelyn already waiting for me. I was shocked to see her wearing decent clothes.
Because as much as i know my sister she won't leave any chance to irritate mom. And today instead of wearing some revealing clothes she is wearing a simple off shoulder white dress.
"What happened I'm not looking good?" She asks while looking at her outfit "No you're looking very pretty. I just thought that you will wear something to annoy mom" i said "Yea..at first i thought about it but i thought it's Mom's 50th birthday so let's give her a break " she said and shook my head at her words.
"Come let's go " we walked towards our car. Evelyn decided to drive while i sat down on co pilot seat. We reached the mansion within 45mins.
When we entered the mansion i saw that all the guests have already arrived. Most of them are mom's closed friends. "Happy birthday Mom" i wished her and gave her the gifts. "Thanks a lot " she said and hugged me. Evelyn wished mom too while giving her the gifts.
"If you think that i don't that Athena prepared this gift then you're so wrong Eve" Mom said in a low voice. It was shocked by her words. I thought mom will not find out about it. But i was so wrong.
