Chapter 16

ALTHEA

It's been 2 weeks since I left Luca, I got on a plane to Greece on the same night that we had the confrontation.

On my way to Greece, all I did was to cry by myself. I couldn't even bring myself to sleep.

I was constantly thinking back about everything that has happened, and then I would cry again.

The moment the plane landed I knew that there is no going back.

It was easy to find Matthias Nicoli or should I say, my father.

Everyone basically knew who I am and considering that he was still searching for me, a lot of his men were scattered across the country.

At Exactly 2pm in the afternoon I was standing in front of his estate.

The moment the door opened, I saw Matthias standing there in his robe, clearly was not expecting to see his own daughter.

His eyes turned misty before he closed the gap between us and engulfed me in a hug.

"Althea.. I thought I lost you," he said before pulling me inside his mansion.

He gestured for his men to leave us alone before he brought me to the living room.

I sat on the couch and he sat next to me holding my hands like he was afraid to let go again.

"Where were you?! What happened to you?!" he gave me a run down to look for any clues of my where abouts before his eyes came back to meet mine again.

"Sir.. I was Atena," for the first time, I spoke to him.

His eyes widened in surprise before he sigh.

"I knew it was you! But you didn't know me and when I had my men look for your information, it showed that you were truly Atena," he replied.

I shook my head.

"Luca, Luca created a fake identification card," I explained to him and then all of a sudden his eyes darkened.

"Luca Moretti, I knew I should've got rid of that bastard when I had the chance!" he spat.

"No!" I unconsciously snapped making him turn towards me.

"No.. He, he saved me," I tried to look for the right words.

"He kept you from me! He kidnapped you!"

"I was ambushed!" I yelled and he froze.

"I was ambushed and he saved me, I... I lost my memories," I explained and he looked so shocked as he stared into my eyes.

"Your memories..?" he asked and I nodded.

"Which is why I wasn't able to recognize you.. I lost everything," I whispered the last part.

"Then, how did you get here..?" his grip on my hands tightened.

"I heard him and his father talking and I found out about my real identity, I flew here as soon as I knew," I answered without breaking eye contact.

And that was all he needed to hear before he sent me to my room so that I could rest.

Now in the present time, I was currently inside a boxing ring, sparring with one of father's men.
