Athena

Sometimes the life is complicated and confusing. I really don't what's happening in my life. Why my past is haunting me especially when i finally decided to let it go.

I really don't know what to do except for venting my anger on the punching bag. Right now i am in my gym with my boxing gloves. I threw one punch, then another and it continued until i was tried and panting.

I fell on my knees and opened my mouth to take as much as air possible. I closed my eyes and tried to control my breathing. As soon as i closed my eyes his face appeared. This isn't the first time i am dreaming about him and this really frustrates me. How can i be attracted to a bodyguard?? I really don't have any problem with this. But i can't help but compare him with Andrew.

And now there are lots of unanswered questions in my life. Whose answer i need to find.

I was breathing heavily when someone passed me a bottle. I quickly uncapped the bottle and drank the water. When i quenched my thirst at that time i looked up and found Aiden was the one who gave me the bottle.

He looked at me with softness in his eyes.
"You shouldn't tire yourself. It's not good for your health " he said.
"Don't worry i am fine" i replied and stood up.

"I thought you were coming tomorrow " i said. It actually shocked me that Aiden came a day early from his holiday. He gave me a smile and rubbed his neck in embarrassment.
"Yea... i was but then i thought to came early " i didn't commented anything on it.

I removed my gloves and said
"From tomorrow onwards i am going back to the office. So pick up at sharp 8" with these i walked out of the gym. I was about to make my way upstairs to take a bath when my eyes fell on a figure sitting on the sofa.

It didn't took me much time to realize who it was. Today everyone is busy giving me shock. First Aiden came back early from his holiday and now my brother also came back early from his trip.

I don't know about Aiden but Ashton coming back early from his trip is never a good news. I took a deep breath and walked towards the living room to find out the reason behind his early arrival.

"Good morning brother " i greeted.
"What's good about this morning?" He asks. He looked at him confusedly. I sat beside him and i knew that somehow i am the reason behind his bad mood.

"What happened?" I asked
"Nothing....." he replied
"Then why did you came early from your trip??" I asked
"I didn't...i was kinda forced to come early " he said.
"What do you mean?" I asked. He turned his face towards and now i can clearly see anger in his eyes. He is angry...no actually furious.

"What i mean is why did you ask Kate to stop the investigation?" He said.
"Because i don't want this investigation " i said in a low voice.
"But why?? What is the reason behind this. Don't you want to know what happened that day?" He asks. I wish i could tell you the truth but i can't.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.
"No i don't want to know what happened that day" i said.
I looked towards him and said
"I want to let go the past.....i want to move on. Forget the past"

Tears burned at the back of my eyes, threatening to fall as i clenched my fist tighter. I took a deep breath and tried not to breakdown infront of Ashton.

"Ash...i finally want to forget everything and move on in my life. In this past few days a lot of things have happened in my life and i know i just want to live peacefully in my present without thinking about my traumatic past" i said with tears in my eyes.

"Thea..." he quickly took me in his arms and wiped my tears.
"I am sorry Princess... but i actually want to know what happened that day" he said.

"But what we will get by this. It only open the old wounds. It doesn't matter if it was an accident or murder because it won't bring our mom back" i said.
