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...
I looked at the sun rising from my window. I have been awake for sometime but i didn't want to get out of the bed. So i am lying on the bed with thoughts here and there.
After sometime i finally decided to get out of the bed and get ready for the day. Anyways today i have a very long day. After so many years i have finally decided to visit my grandparents that to willingly.
I need to have a talk with grandpa. And i am really nervous. After my mom's death i never had any normal conversation with him. And may be this is the first time in many years i am going to do something that i promised i will never do it.
I took a long shower to calm my nerves. After that I wore a orange chiffon dress and paired my outfit with black heels.

I walked downstairs and saw Evelyn sipping her coffee. Ashton has went to L.A for some work and i am glad about it. Now I can breathe freely without Ashton keeping an eye on me like a hawk. Of course he warned me before leaving.
"Good morning Eve" i greeted "Breakfast?" She asks. I shook my head in no. I am very nervous so i am really not hungry. "You are going somewhere?" She asks "Yea....i have...some..work" i said. "Should I tell Tom to drop you " she asks "No i will drive " i said "Ok you go and drive safely. Message me when you reach " i nodded my head and gave her a hug.
I walked towards my car. Since Aiden is on leave so i need to drive myself and I have no interest in taking another driver.
I am glad he is not here so that i can move freely without him following me everywhere. But at the same time i miss him. I miss annoying him, i miss talking to him. I shook my head and decided to focus on my plan.
I parked the car outside the gate. I looked at the mansion and wondered whether I should go inside or not??
I took a deep breath and decided to do it. It's high time that now i face the reality. I stepped out of the car and the guards quickly opened the door as soon as they saw me.
I rang the door bell and stood patiently. After few seconds a middle aged woman opened the door. I know her, she is the housekeeper. "Good morning Ms. Paulsen " she greeted and stepped aside to let me in. I can see a genuine smile on her face. I gave her a smile and asked "Is grandpa...at home?" I don't even know if he is in the city or not. I should have informed before coming. I am so stupid.
"Yes, he is in his study" she replied. I sighed internally in a relief. I gave her a smile and was about to walk but she stopped me by asking "Ms. Paulsen would you like to have some tea or coffee?" "No thanks " i replied. I looked around the house and found it almost empty. Of course everyone would have left for work by now. Hopefully my grandpa is at home.
I climbed the stairs to go to the second floor where my grandpa's study is located. I can't believe i am doing this. I never come to this study until i am asked to.
