Her Five Protectors

TEN

WARNING:--- THE ONLY VERY SMALL CHAPTER!
Athena stares at Alexander's face confused as he kneels down in front of her and grabs her hand in his. He starts to rub an ointment on her bruised skin to treat her burnt hands gently.

"Next time just speak. Don't just stay quiet like a moron" Alexander rolls his eyes and lets out a small scoff. He closes the first aid box and gives her an another look.

"Did you miss your self defence session?" He raises his brow. Her face pales at his words.

"You didn't go there or inform Vincenzo."

"You are such a crybaby." He comments as he notices the tears glistening in her eyes.

"Go downstairs. Breakfast is ready. I will be there shortly."

Athena's heart is skyrocketing. She is scared from Vincenzo mostly. He is a scary man who does not even bother to look scary but he terrifies her with his calm cold stare and today maybe she has made him angry due to her own forgetfulness.

She steps into the dining hall. Avoiding the stares of others, Athena takes her seat between Vittorio and Romeo. Romeo takes a glance down at her wrist and bandaged fingers but does not say anything. Vittorio also ignores it but still gives Alexander a confusing look who arrives few seconds later.

Next were both Vincenzo and Luciano. Both of them take their seats. Luciano is the only one who offers Athena a small smile.

"I am dying to taste these special cookies." Luciano says as one of the maid enters in the room with a plate of cookies Athena has baked.

"It's so good, Ariana." Athena's cheeks turn red as he compliments her. After a little while as they finish with the breakfast, Vincenzo looks at Athena who is still struggling to finish her food.

He clears his throat gaining her attention. She looks up at him.

"Well I have made some changes in your schedule. Make your self defence session of 1 hour with Alexander. You don't have to clean your room or anything. Let the servants do their job and you are resuming your school again from tomorrow on. From now on, just focus on your studies." His brothers' head snaps in his direction altogether. There are so many questions and confusions in their eyes but they do not question their older brother. Athena, on the other hand, looks scared.

She can only hope that everything goes well. But nothing can be fully alright.

Alexander wakes her up at 6 in the morning. After doing little warm up exercises, he tells her to get ready for school. All of this is unfamiliar to her. 'School' word is completely unknown in her dictionary. She does not know how things work there.

As Athena comes out of the bathroom, she is a little surprised to see a maid standing at the door. That maid informs her that she is there to get her things ready.

Athena watches as the maid enters in Ariana's closet and comes back with a designer school bag and a uniform. The maid leaves her privacy and a confused Athena wear the uniform.

That maid again enters in her room and proceeds to do her hair. When she is done, Athena looks at her reflection in the mirror feeling strange. The way she looks now, mostly her appearance is unfamiliar.

Her eyes unconsciously glances at Ariana's picture. The nurse has styled her hair just like Ariana.

She makes her way downstairs. The maid Samantha follows behind her with her backpack. Athena tries to take it from her but Samantha declines and shakes her head.

Vittorio and Alexander stares at Athena completely surprised. There is no way that anyone could recognize that she is not real Ariana! It is definitely not possible. Or that's what they thought for a second until they remembered the difference between Ariana and Athena's personality.

Ariana was a wild cat while Athena is a innocent crybaby.

Good lord!

They cannot even imagine everyone's reaction.
