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...
"Are you sure she is ok?" Evelyn whispered. I can't say if it was a whisper because i can clearly hear her voice. If she is trying to be discreet then she is failing miserably. "Well you stop that " Ashton yelled in a low voice.
I know they are standing right behind me. I know they care for me but right now i want to be alone. It has been exactly 4 days since i found out the truth. I didn't told Ashton or anybody about it. I don't know how they will react? Ashton might murder Andrew for this and that's the last thing I want right now.
Of course Evelyn and Ashton are suspicious of my unusual behavior but they didn't bother me directly. They simply gossip behind my back which is very annoying.
"But why she is so quiet " Evelyn whispered. I sighed and turned around. I had enough of this. Evelyn gave me an awkward smile when she saw me looking at her. "Hey...." she said. "What's going on?" I asked. "Nothing.....we are just discussing about the picnic..." she said and laughed at the end.
"Picnic?" I asked "Ohh yes i have invited our family to have picnic near the lake" she said. "And you didn't bother to inform me about this" i asked. This is ridiculous!! I had a very hard time in controlling my anger. "Look i informed you just now...." she said. I sighed and was about to yell at her but Ashton stopped me.
"Athena why don't you go and get ready. Our family will be here anytime " he said. I gave him a nod and made my way upstairs.
Evelyn she has gone crazy. At least she should inform about this picnic. What's wrong with her? I know she has a habit of taking impulsive decisions. But this is so much. I need to have a talk after this picnic.
I quickly changed my clothes. I decided to wear a black bertana dress. I brought this Miami but never got a perfect occasion to wear it. I did a simple makeup and paired my outfit with blue heels. I decided to braid my hair and kept it open. I took out my black clutch and placed my phone and clutch inside it.

I gave myself a last glance in the mirror and walked downstairs. I saw few maids carrying picnic baskets and making their way towards the forest. I decided not to wait for Evelyn and walked towards the forest.
Today's weather is sunny but you can feel the cold wind. After all winter is just around the corner. I leaned on the tree and looked ahead. The lake is looking so beautiful. The maids has placed a sheet on the grass. The picnic basket are kept on it.
