6 Her Return Six Years Later .
Athena inhaled deeply , calming her fraying nerves whilst sitting in the limousine her friend had hired for her .
In her hands were the ticket to the party , which he had pleaded with her for months to attend , the party that would herald her return to the world where she had been exiled from .
She had thought she was done with that part of the universe until she had met Zane … Maam , we are here .
Her driver reminded her .
Its been more than five minutes , she thought , looking at the slim watch on her slender wrist .
Its been more than five minutes since she has been here , resetting her mind , and preparing it to take , in a cool stride , whatever she would see in this party .
Im aware , sir .
Just give me a few more , please .
Her phone dinged right at that moment , preventing her from hearing the drivers dissatisfied grunt .
Quickly she swiped it open , her breath held in suspension , as she perused the content of the message .
It was just payment from a client for a successful treatment .
Wheew ! She exhaled harshly , splaying her right hand on her chest .
She didnt want any interruption of any kind , not even from her favorite people .
Especially them .

Her eyes , for the third time , found the hall , which had been picked for the event .
It was huge and extraordinarily beautiful , big enough to contain a lot of people .
She wondered if she would see familiar faces here , if they would even remember her .
A lot of things had happened since her exile , and although she was tougher than she had been then , she would have appreciated a quiet evening with no familiar faces .
But the celebrant was a popular one ; her wish would be nearly impossible to grant .
The loud sighing of the driver again interrupted her reverie , reminding her of his impatience .
And so , with a final inhalation of calmness , she thanked him for the ride and stepped out of the As she walked toward the halls entrance , blinded by the lights of the paparazzi , she wondered if they knew who she was , if they knew what her role in tonights party would be .
She hoped not .
Just then , she noticed a handsome suited male in his late twenties she made the guess- approaching her .
1/4 < Her Return Athena sighed softly in relief , following the male immediately .
Her friend had made arrangements for her .
This new man took her past the standing queue of finely dressed men and women , who were waiting to be scanned by the hefty man in front , to the hefty man scanner .
The man scanner , who could easily pass as a bouncer , exchanged glances with her escort , probably wondering why the latter was displaying such favoritism in the open .
Its Dr.
Caddell … The only indication that the bouncer had heard the escort was a pique of his eyebrows , before he turned to his iPad to search for her name .
Athena tapped her feet on the ground , counting until the moment when the man would locate her name .
She was already hearing murmurs from the people in the queue .
They were wondering why she was taken past them ; they were wondering if she was more important than the most elite of the state that were still in queue .
They didnt know who she was ..
Athena relaxed , a relaxation that became short lived , when there was a tap on her arm .
Athena ? It has been six years , but Athena would never forget the voice of the lady that had been the source of her misery for three solid years .
Fiona .
Athena quickly sported an aloof demeanor , and swiveled gracefully ; there wasnt an indication on her face that she remembered her old rival .
It is really you … Fiona breathed in awe , not believing what her eyes were seeing , fanning the embers of Athenas aloofness .
Do I know you ? Athena asked , almost purring in excitement , when she saw the swift change in Fionas countenance .
The awe was displaced , and replaced with sheer contempt .
Athena watched , unmoved , as Fiona cackled in derision , attracting the attention of the people in the queue .
What are you doing here , Athena ? How are you here ? Yet Athena remained silent .
And when she saw that Fiona wasnt forthcoming with any more speeches for the latter was unable to get rid of the shock of seeing a curvy Athena she turned around , and tapped her escort on the arm .
Can we leave ? This simple question this sole dismissal caused Finna to see red to grit her teeth in ander < 6 Her Return This simple question , this snide dismissal , caused Fiona to see red , to grit her teeth in anger .
Without stopping to think , she dragged Athena by the arm , causing a tear to spot on the latters dress .
The escort tried to intervene then , seeing the harsh treatment melted on the VIP his master had told him to take care of , but Athena stopped him with a wave of her hand .
She could handle it .
I dont know who you are , but are you sure you can cover the expenses for this torn dress ? Fiona seized that opportunity to look at the dress Athena was wearing , very well .
She bit her lips .
hard , angry , as she noticed how the dress fitted Athena perfectly , gliding over her curves .
sexually .
She was about to make a false dig out of jealousy , when she recognized that the dress was the latest customized dress of the popular fashion designer , Areso .
Fiona gritted her teeth openly then , envy riding her in waves , especially as she began to hear the awe stricken words of the people behind her in the queue .
They had noticed the design of the dress too .
There were just two of these dresses in the whole country ! How had the twat gotten her hand on it ? Which big shot did she saddle herself with ? Or was it a fake , a caricature ? It must be that .
Fiona sneered .
Youre wearing the fake version of a dress , and you are bragging ? You must be more stupid than I thought ! Should I call Areso ? Athenas lips turned up in a smirk , when she saw Fiona pale in fright .
She was liking this more than she would care to admit .
Fiona gulped nothing , after hearing the confident words of Athena ; confidence that only came from truth .
But how ? How had Athena gotten the dress ? She was supposed to be dead , or at the most , a menial worker ! What was she doing in a party hosted by one of the richest men in the world ?! Fionas wandering eyes , which were taking in the originality of the seams in the dress , stopped when she saw the black ticket , only reserved for the VIP of the occasion .
Her mouth fell open in shock .
Even Ewan , as rich as he was , had only secured a gold ticket for the both of them ! She shook her head in unbelief .
Who was backing Athena ? Who was the illiterate sleeping with ?! She hissed , and tried to grab the ticket like a mad woman , but Athenas reflexes were faster .
you are with some rich old man .
Are you his mistress or slut since Ewan turned you I see down ? Athena laughed , You wish ! If you want the black ticket so much , become a valuable woman , or better still leech it off your husband .
I think he is looking for you , She pointed at an Ewan , who just came down from a limo with Sandro .
D Has my name been cleared ? She asked the purort immediately Bionu turned around to watch 34 Her Return Has my name been cleared ? She asked the escort , immediately Fiona turned around to watch Ewan approach them .
Yes , Dr.
Caddell .
I am sorry for keeping you here .
I didnt know you were the special guest we were expecting here today .
If you had shown me the black ticket , it would have prevented negligence on my part .
I am sorry , ma .
Please this way .
Take the right end , it leads to the VIP area .
The hefty man spoke , instead of the escort , surprising the entire people in the queue , including Fiona , who sharply swiveled to face Athena .
If she had maintained her gaze on Ewan , she would have seen the flicker of recognition and amazement in his eyes when they landed on Athena , and the tightening of his fists and lips .
But Athena , not wanting another confrontation , this time with her ex husband , walked swiftly with the escort into the party .
She was aware , however , as she walked away , of Ewans cold gaze following her every step .
And she knew it was only a matter of time before her ex husband came for her , 2
