Athena goes into the further state of shock as more men stands around their car and try their best to break the glass of the window. But they drop down dead in front of her eyes. It is even more traumatizing. Ariana after noticing her pale face and trembling hands immediately grabs Athena's hands.

"It's over." She tells her softly but it feels like Athena is in some kind of trance. She isn't able to hear her. The door opens and Vittorio steps in. He looks at both of the girls before gently pulling Athena close. Seeing her tear stricken face and shocked state, he lifts her up in his arms.

Ariana follows him out grimacing at the deadbodies that lay scatter down on the ground. Her eyes fills with questions and confusions as they fall on Stephan. Stephan Riccardo is seriously standing there close to Alexander. They both seem to be talking to each other but Romeo has those suspicious kind of look on his face. Ariana has her own suspicions growing too. There is no way that it is possible. That Stephan Riccardo helped them. Ariana also notices few of her family's bodyguards but doesn't seem to care.

She directly makes her way towards them.

"Who were these men?" She asks Alexander.

"We have our certain doubts right now. But we will investigate about it later as we reach home. You don't need to stress about such things!" Alexander tells her and points at the one of car with his pointer finger indicating her to sit inside.

"Look first thing first that I don't care! But I worry about my life you know. I and her looks exactly same and there are high chances that anyone can hurt me or her by taking our identities wrong." Ariana states back but Alexander doesn't even look at her.

"We appreciate your help. Our family will always remember this." He shakes hand with Stephan and then Alexander grabs Ariana's wrist before dragging her towards another car.

Stephan Riccardo always seems to be uncaring about every other stare following him but today he can't help but stare at Athena's scared face. His stare followed her everywhere she was heading. It was the another reason why he entered at the same time to help them.

It wasn't his own plot. Nor it was any of his plan that mirrored his evil intentions because he actually have none of those at this time.

Stephan walked back towards his car but suddenly his phone rang. Without looking at the contact number, he picked the call up.

"Hellooo big brother." A voice sounded from the other side. Stephan's grip around his phone tightened.

"Athena! Eat your food." Athena nods her head slightly and follows Vincenzo's words but truth to be speak, everything feels tasteless. Her state looks a little off and it concerns the brothers.

After the dinner, Athena moves back into her room. The images of that gore scene keeps playing in front of her eyes. She suddenly starts to feel nauseous. It feels hard to keep the food down her throat. When the urge gets stronger, she rushes in the direction of bathroom and pukes her guts out. She groans a little while grabbing her hurting stomach with both of her hands.

After brushing her teeth, she slowly walks back into her room. After an complete hour of struggling later, she eventually gives up. The same scene again plays in front of her eyes. She feels extremely petrified at this point right now. The room feels suffocating and scary to her.

She finally makes up her mind to get out of the bed. She walks towards the door and slowly pulls it open but the darkness of the corridor again scares her. She runs back towards her bed and grabs her pillow like it is her shield.

Athena hesitanly steps outside while clutching her only weapon of protection, her pillow close to chest. A wince leaves her lips as she bumps into something. Immediately, the lights turns on. Athena glances up to see Vincenzo standing in front of her.

"What are you doing, Athena?" He asks her. Athena gazes down at her feet a little embarrassed.

"Is everything alright?" He asks again. Athena bites her lip a little anxious and mumbles.

"I-I am scared. Couldn't sleep. I-I am sorry."

"Look up Athena." He says. She does what he tells her. Her tears shining eyes makes contact with his stone cold eyes that actually hide an incredible amount of gentleness and warmth.

"It's ok to feel scared. But don't let this fear overworked on you." He says.

"You can sleep in my room for tonight..." He offers. Athena looks again a little hesitant but follows his words for her own benefit. Anything is better than being alone. She follows him to his room and lays down on his bed while still clutching her pillow close to her chest.

"I am taking you out tomorrow." He tells her along with a small sigh as he lays down beside her.

"Where?" A small voice of her asks him.

"You will know tomorrow." He glances down at her face. She has her eyes closed but at least she looks relaxed now.

"Athena! I apologize that you have to witness such scene today." Vincenzo's voice holds every ounce of sincerity.

"It's ok. I know they were bad guys." She whispers back and within few seconds, Vincenzo could hear her soft tiny snores.

He looks up at the cieling of his room with many thoughts racing in his mind. Today Ioann Boris as in Athena's uncle tried to hurt her again, worse almost killed her today. He needed to find the reason behind it all urgently.
