Business Partners

Chapter 7

I'm here now inside cr crying.

I couldn't really find the files I made and then it was impossible not to save them. A few minutes later Kathleen and Sheena came inside.

Oh Athena, your report to Boss is tomorrow, are you ready?' Kathleen asked so I looked at her. I know you did something so stay away from me, I don't want a fight!" I said but Sheena and I just laughed.

I was about to leave when Kathleen suddenly grabbed my shoulder very tightly. Why do they like to touch my shoulder!

I still have bruises and he just added more "Let go of me!" I said while trying to push him.

And it's good that he let go of me and I immediately got out of the cr but both of them were still following me.

Hey, we're still talking to you!" Sheena said angrily as she pushed me from behind so I fell to the floor.

My stomach hurts.

"You can't handle us! So it's only right that I delete those files!" said Kathleen and they both left while I was sitting on the floor.

I didn't realize that my tears were falling. I suddenly remembered Kent and Sandro because they are the only ones who help me whenever I have problems here. But they are gone!

There's nothing I can do but let the people here give me trouble.

I didn't realize that there was a hand that offered me to stand up and I looked to see who Sir John was.

So I accepted his hand and here I am now facing a good man.

Who did that to you?" he asked while looking at my arm that was bruised and still had nail marks.

So I immediately hid it. No sir." I said.

Your eyebags are big, what time did you fall asleep?" he asked.

It's nothing sir and then I just did something last night." I said and he nodded "I heard that you will report to us tomorrow about your project." he said and I bowed suddenly.

I'm ashamed.

I haven't studied what I'm going to say and I don't know anything about the report he and Jessa made.

What am I going to do?

I'll help you." he said smiling so I looked at him.

He is really very kind I can't do it anymore Sir." I said.

I want Sir John's help but I don't want Demon to be angry with me and what else he might do to me.

Alright, I really want to help you." he said and I was surprised when suddenly someone spoke from behind me.

He doesn't need your help to get his project approved! Isn't it Ms. Robert?" Demon asked so I looked at him.

He's scary again "But Mr. Martinez, Athena can't be the one to do all the documents for this company, and aren't there many employees? You can divide the rest of the work among them," said Sir John.

I am the owner of this company! So I can follow whoever I want to do what is necessary here!" Demon said angrily.

Heist! What the hell is this? They are actually here in front of me fighting haist!

"Sir John, it's okay, and thank you because you are concerned about me, but I can do what my boss asks me to do." I said Excuse me." I said and left in front of the two of them.

It's up to them to fight, the important thing is that I'm not in front of them.

I'm here now in our office and I saw Sheena and Kathleen looking at me badly so I just ignored them it was hard. So here I am back to zero again.

It's 8:50pm at night and I'm hungry, it's a good thing Sir John gave me his change so here I am to buy some food and here I am now in front of the restaurant, it's a good thing they're still open at 9:00pm because they close and I'm glad I made it.

After eating, I immediately returned to the office. It's 4:07 am in the morning and I finished the documents and here I am now studying my reporting about our project. I hope it will be approved tomorrow, I really want to rest.

5:00am I didn't realize I fell asleep because of sleepiness and tiredness.

Athena is awake!" Trisha said so I opened my eyes and immediately saw her carrying a formal office dress.

I looked at the clock and my eyes widened, it was 9:40am.

Wear this, I brought you some clothes. It's supposed to start at 10:00 am." Trisha said while giving the clothes. "Thank you." I said and immediately took the clothes to get dressed in the cr After I washed I looked in the mirror.

You can do it Athena." I said and got dressed.

After I got dressed, I looked at my watch and it was 9:50 AM, so I didn't have time to eat.

Heist! What is it now?

So I went straight to our office to get the documents I made last night.

It's too much.

"Good luck Athena!" Kathleen said sarcastically.

So I looked at Jessa and Julius.

You can do it Athena." Jessa said and I nodded and immediately went to our meeting room.

It's a good thing there's no one around yet so I relax myself so I don't get nervous.

After a few minutes, Demon's business partners entered as did Sir John and Demon followed.

So I congratulated them one by one.

I averted my eyes from him, his stares at me were scary.

Here I am now starting and when I finished my speech in front, I couldn't help but look at Demon because he was right in front of me.

I knew it was him because before he came in I saw the tattoo on his neck.

So that kind of project is okay with me," said Mr. Abarquez.

And many of them say that what I did is okay while Demon still doesn't speak.

Okay Mr. Martinez, let's approve what Miss Robert did, her examples are good to grow this company," said Mr. love

Okay!" he said impatiently so he got up and went out.

So Damon's Business Partners have also been released except for Sir John."Congratulations Athena." he said smiling and I just smiled at him.

After 7 hours I am now at my table and when Jessa found out that my report was okay they congratulated me.

Hey, I can relax now.

It's 6:30pm and I have to go out early. I have to go to Mom and Dad. I miss them already.

While I was walking, a car suddenly stopped in front of me.

Where are you? I'll bring you." said Sir John. No more Sir and I'll be close." I said and I saw him get out of his car and come to me.

"Don't be shy, come in and I'll take you." he said as he opened the car door and forced me into it.

So I haven't done anything, will you push me in? I am now at our house so I immediately got out of Sir John's car.

Sir, thank you." I said smiling.

Your welcome." he said and left.

I looked at our house before I went inside and I immediately saw Mom and Dad talking Ma." I said so they looked at me Aren't you the girl who came here a while ago? Why are you here?" Papa asked so I approached them.

How are you?" I asked.

It's okay Miss, but don't call us Mama and Papa because you're not our child." Mama said so I just bowed.

I am hurt because of what they told me.

They didn't really remember me anymore, I was worthless in their view.

I was about to turn around when Dad suddenly called me.

Did you eat Miss?" he asked so I looked at him Not yet." I said.

Eat here first." Papa said so Mama looked at him looking shocked.

So I immediately approached them and we ate together Miss, do you have a husband?" Mama asked so I looked at her Amm." I could not speak to his question. What do I say now? Why did you ask him?" Papa asked Mama. Because that pulse in your neck is so fast, are you pregnant?" asked Mama, still holding me by my neck.

It's fast. So I just smiled at them.

It's 9:40 in the evening and I said goodbye to them and I'm leaving, but Mama says it's late and it's too bad for me to go out because I'm pregnant.

So here I am sleeping in my old room.

While I was lying in bed, I suddenly thought that Demon might be angry because I can't go home.

I held my stomach and still can't believe that I'm pregnant.

My head hurts and my body feels like it's going to collapse from exhaustion.

Kathleen Pov

Sheena and I are here now waiting for a taxi because we just came from the Mall because we have a new salary haha. You know I'm going to get annoyed with that Athena! She really sucks!" Sheena said angrily.

You thought you were the only one! It's really flirty and then she and Sir John were together earlier!" I said angrily.

That's why Boss is annoyed with her because she's flirtatious!" he said, making me smile.

Haha you coward Athena you don't know I was the one who deleted your files from your computer haha.

I'm really good!

But it's surprising because he finished his work right away and was even approved Sh*t

And luckily the taxi was already here, so Sheena and I immediately got inside.

While Manong was driving I looked at him. Wait? Why is he wearing a bonnet?

Maybe that's just the way it is.

Haha you know girl you are really good because of the plan to delete the files that Athena made haha." said Sheena so I looked at her with a sarcastic smile. Of course I am! I'm smarter than that girl!" I said angrily "When will that girl disappear from Boss's company?" Sheena asked angrily I hope that Athena dies!" I said angrily.

And suddenly the taxi for Sheena and I stopped What the hell Manong!" I said angrily so he looked in the mirror and our eyes met there.

We were surprised when he took a knife What are you going to do to us!" Sheena shouted while I was speechless at what I saw.

We panicked to open the taxi door but it was locked so we just screamed and screamed Suddenly the man in the bonnet moved towards us and I saw how he was going to stab Sheena while I was looking at him scared.

I was surprised when he suddenly took his bonnet and that's when I remembered everything.

Bringing us coffee every morning and suddenly missing my work colleagues and Athena.

I can't speak what I remember.

Athena is not just an employee with me Bo..ss" I stammered.

And now you know everything! You should be gone!" he said angrily while holding my mouth and trying to open it and he pulled my tongue.

And I screamed when he did the next thing because he suddenly cut it.

I forced myself to get away from him while my mouth was full of blood.

Athena Pov

I woke up from a bad dream.

I held my stomach because I felt so nervous. I dreamed that Demon stabbed me.

I shed tears because of fear.

I'm afraid that might come true.

I woke up early and saw Mom and Dad having coffee Miss, do you want to drink coffee?" Mama asked.

Not anymore." I said as I approached them and sat in front of them.

Thank you." I said smiling.

For what?" they asked and suddenly I hugged them very tightly.

Miss?" Papa asked in surprise so I let them go I'm sorry." I said.

Many hours ago I told them to leave and now I'm on my way home to Demon's Mansion.

When I got inside I immediately saw him sitting with his back to me.

Why only now!" he asked angrily.

I just went to see Mom and Dad." I said.

He stood up and approached me.

Why didn't you say goodbye!" he said angrily You won't let me." I said while bowing.

I know he will hurt me I own you! That's why you should say goodbye to me!" he said angrily so I looked at him I'm going to rest." I said impatiently.

I was about to leave in front of him when he suddenly fired a gun at my side which surprised me Don't ever come near That John you want your parents to live!" he said angrily You understand!" he shouted, making me nod.

He left in front of me causing my tears to fall. And now that he is my wife, I must accept that he has always been like this to me.

So this is the reason why I don't want to tell him that I'm pregnant.

Because he will hurt me again and again. I am now in the room lying on the bed. Thinking about what happened earlier. Why is Demon always like this?

Besides, I don't approach other men, they are the ones who force me to approach them.

I didn't realize that I fell asleep.

Demon Pov

I am here now in my real Mansion facing an assistant who has been working here for a long time.

Grandma Lorna.

Only he and my parents saw my true face.

Because he took care of me when I was young When will you bring him here?" Lola asked I don't know yet." I said.

Show him, he's your wife, isn't he, I know he'll accept what happened then." he said so I looked at him.

When he sees my face he will remember everything and I don't want that to happen!" I said angrily.

I woke up at 2:07pm.

I felt bad and felt like my whole body was going to collapse.

Sh*t like it's giving me a fever.

All of a sudden, tears started to fall from my eyes as if I wasn't crying.

Maybe this is when you have a fever.

I was surprised when the door suddenly opened so I looked to see who entered, none other than Demon Get dressed, we're going somewhere!" he said.

I don't want." I said.

When I say get dressed! Do It!" he yelled so I forced myself to stand up even though my body was about to collapse. While I was looking in the mirror, my eyes suddenly turned around and that's when I lost consciousness.

JOHN'S POV

I'm now at Demon's Mansion, so I immediately rang the doorbell and Guard let me inside.

When I was inside, Grandma Lorna immediately saw me.

Grandpa, you're here." Grandma said smiling. Are you wondering why Lola and I are close? I don't know, I forgot and then I feel relieved in this house and Demon and I?

We're okay, but when it comes to Athena, she seems to have a temper with me Actually, I'm the only business partner that he doesn't show me.

I don't even know why.

I don't even know what my past is.

The employees just thought I knew Demon, but maybe I did then, but now I don't know what he really is.
