Who Are You Really Athena?

Athena's

Hindi ko na pinatapos ang event kagabi, umalis ako kaagad after kong makasayaw ang Escalante na iyon.

I am currently in my condo, sitting on top of my bed while facing my laptop.

Nag rresearch ako about kay Eugene. Dahil sa totoo lang, hindi talaga ako natutuwa sakaniya. Don't get me wrong but he isn't my type, well almost but seriously not going to try him.

Ang lakas ng pakiramdam ko na may tinatago ang lalaking iyon. Hindi ako kampante sa mga sinabi niya sa akin, I can feel that he is really after me. Like, heck I'm no good I shouldn't be surprised if someone wants to kill me now.

But that doesn't justify the means. I want to know his deep reason kung bakit siya lumapit sa akin kagabi at ginugulo ang sistema ko ngayon. What is his goal?

I typed his name on my keyboard. Unang lumabas ay ang basic informations tungkol sa kaniya.

There are also picture and I cannot really deny that this guy got the looks, but looks are deceiving. You can't even trust a smiling face.

It took me an hour before finally giving up. None, base from google malinis siya. Walang controversy, issue or scandal. Who on Earth is he na walang dumi? Lahat ng tao may itinatago. Is the Esacalante Empire protecting their boy? Most probably.

Isa siyang malaking palaisipan sa akin. No.

I should not give up, hindi dapat ako sumuko sa paghahanap ng loophole sa lalaking ito. Kahit isa lang malaki na ang impact. My senses are seriously telling me not to. If I have to hack websites for this guy gagawin ko, I have never felt this danger from my life ever. This guy, is chasing something from me. And whatever it is, I won't let him get it from my possession.

"MALAPIT na ang premier night ng bago mong movie Athena, may date kana ba sa gabing iyon?"

Nakangiti kong hinarap ang isang reporter sa harapan ko. Kakatapos lang ng isang TV guesting ko para sa pag ppromote ng bago kong movie. Hindi ako ang bida but the spotlights are on me dahil dala ko ang movie na iyon.

It was about a woman who got kidnapped by me, pinahirapan ko siya because that is what antagonist do. All along my character thought that ang bida ay anak ng taong pumatay sa sarili kong anak, turns out that the woman whom I kidnapped and hurt was my real daughter. Ironic isn't it?

"Well, I still have no date for that night and yes, the premiere night is almost three weeks from now, we are all excited about it.."

May isang reporter na pilit nagsusumiksik sa kumpulan ng katulad niyang reporter sa harap ko. Itinaas niya ang kanyang kamay, "Miss Athena, we received a report from a reliable source that you were with the heiress of the Escalante Empire last night, gaano ito katotoo?"

Kusang tumaas ang kilay ko sa tanong ng baklang reporter na nasa harapan ko na ngayon. Because of his questions mas dumoble pa ang flash ng camera sa akin.

Escalante nanaman.

Nonetheless, I still managed to smile kahit na ang totoo gusto ko ng magpaka bitch sa mga ito. "Yes, the report was true. I was with the young Escalante last night. It was a charity event organized for those victims of child and women abuse. He asked me for a dance and I agreed, that's it. We just danced.." I was smiling the whole time I speak.

Seems like this reporter is persistent. Ayaw yatang tanggapin ang sagot ko dahil nag taas ulit siya ng kamay. I nod my head, instructing him to go on.
