Chapter 855 - New Year, New Life Part 1



 Athena was flipping through the magazines when the maids said that her parents finally arrived from their New Year honeymoon from California. She stood and put away the magazine. It seemed like they were happy from their trip. Although her parents are getting old, they are very intimate with each other. She caught them dry humping many times when they forgot to close the door in her father\'s study room. It\'s disgusting and then in the crowd, they would intimately hold each other and even kiss and won\'t care about anyone else. 

"Dad, Mom!" She greeted them and Gabriel hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Good thing that you are here." She said. 

​​

"Well, I want to see you and your brothers get on the plane." 

"Or you want to monitor us while we are having fun in Madagascar?" She raised her brows. 

"Maybe." He smirked. "But first, let\'s have a father and daughter date. I\'ll buy everything you wanted." 

 Athena crossed her arms and thought for a while. 

"There\'s none." 

"Really?" He raised her brows. 

"The two of you should enjoy it. I will take a nap." Sabrina said and Gabriel turned to her and they kissed lips to lips. Athena rolled her eyes and swore that she saw their mouth move. 

"Ugh." She complained and sat down. Gabriel sat with her as the maids served hot teas and pastry. Gabriel picked the teacup and sipped on it. The taste of peppermint ran down to his throat. "I want a new car." 

"Okay, what car?" 

"The latest supercar." She smirked. 

"Okay." He shrugged. Athena moved closer to her dad and hugged him. 

"Thanks, daddy." She leaned on his chest. Gabriel hugged his daughter and kissed her top head. 

"Anything for you, Princess." 

"But, we are still going out shopping." She pouted at him. 

"Yes, of course." He patted her head. Athena is happy every time her dad would spoil her with things. "How about you put some pretty dress on?" 

"Are you sure? We can shop later. You can rest." 

"No. I slept on the plane so it\'s fine." 

"Okay." Athena kissed his cheek and she went upstairs. 

 She went to her walk-in closet and searched for a dress to wear. However, she gets across the dress that she wore for her and Xavier\'s first date. She shook her head and pushed it away. She needed to find something decent.

 Xavier packed a few things already when the doorbell rang and his mother called him. He went downstairs and her mother looked at him full of questions. 

"What is this?" She asked. 

"That\'s your new bodyguard, mom. I told you, you need a companion." He approached Agent Vincent Sebastian and extended his hand. "I am glad that you are here Agent Sebastian. 

"Pleasures all mine, Dr. Martin." 

"Do come in," Xavier said politely. The big man at the age of fifties entered and he closed the door and removed his shoes. Xavier took the slippers that he could use and gave them to him. His mother is not pleased with it but she went to the kitchen to prepare something warm. Xavier showed him to the living room "Please take a seat." Xavier told him. The man sat down and anyone could notice his moves. He moves like a real soldier. "I will be living tomorrow. I have lots of things to do back in the Philippines." Xavier said and his mother served warm drinks and food. Then, she sat beside his son. "Please accompany my mother." 

"I will do sir." He said. 

"Just call me Xavier." He waved off. The man nodded. Xavier met Sebastian back in the war two years ago. The man was bruised and had lots of gunshots. But he helped him and even operated on him and eventually saved him. "Mom, this is Agent Vincent Sebastian. Vincent, this is my mom, Marga." He introduced him. The man extended his hand toward Marga and Marga shook it in a very businesslike manner. 

"Mom, you don\'t have to worry. He\'s good at cooking and he\'s good at defenses. He can protect you." 

"Xavier, I live for years away from you." 

"I need to monitor you, mom. Remember your promise." Xavier told her and she nodded. Marga promised him to try to forgive herself and eventually asked for forgiveness. She can\'t lose her son too, she did everything that her son wanted for her to do. Now, a bodyguard to monitor her? It\'s not that bad at all. She could use someone to help her with shopping bags since lots of men that he dated are useless. 

"Be good, mom." He mentioned. She rolled her eyes and she gave the man a tight smile. He has a scary scar at his left check but over his physique, he\'s good. His handsome scary face was ruined by the scar. 

"I\'ll just ready his room," Marga said. 

 Xavier nodded and she went upstairs to put new sheets. But when she arrived at the guest room, it seemed like Xavier already settled it. She checked the bathroom and there are things ready for Vincent. Her son indeed doesn\'t want to let her live alone. She could use help and maybe it\'s good that there are changes. She couldn\'t forgive Sabrina and her family but what she did for her when she said that Andromeda the Queen of the Dragon Empire monitored her and even helped his son get a scholarship and money when they have nothing makes her heart melted a little bit. Xavier mentioned to her the Dragon Empire even gave him advanced money after he got his scholarship. He bought her a bag although it\'s cheap, she takes care of it. It costs more than the expensive bags she ever had. 

 She turned on the heater in the room and then she checked the cabinet if there were spare towels and sheets. After that, she went downstairs and heard her son laughing with the agent. It seemed like they already knew each other and if Xavier trusted the man, then she trusted him too. She smiled at them. 

"Mr. Sebastian, your room is ready," Marga said. 

"Please call me Vincent, Lady Marga." 

"Just call me Marga." She said. 

 Xavier helped the man put his bag in his room and then, they let the man settle while Marga faced his son. 

"Xavier, you arranged too much." She told him. Xavier hugged his mother. 

"I\'m sorry, mom, I can\'t be with you in your first session with Dr. James. But I promise to send you a new bag or shoes." 

"You don\'t have to." She smiled at him tightly.

 It\'s already night when they arrived home. The car that his father bought has been delivered too with lots of balloons and a free phone that could also control the car. She\'s happy with the new car that she could play with. Her brothers were even kneeling in front of their dad to buy them one. But Gabriel only patted the triplets while Sabrina glared at Gabriel mouthing him on why in hell he would purchase a car that costs 2 million dollars and even spend 500,000 dollars for just a shopping day. Gabriel couldn\'t say no to their dear Athena. But Athena didn\'t just buy things for herself. She bought things for her brothers and her mother. 

 She changed her clothes, didn\'t have an appetite to eat again and she crawled on her bed and turned on her lampshade. She hugged the pillow that Xavier used here in her room and stared at the lampshade. Tomorrow, she will leave again. But now, it will be the place where she has no memories with him. Xavier wouldn\'t be back to work and she didn\'t know when he would be back. And if he did, she wanted to see him and talk to him and probably close something. She just saw a photo of him with a woman named Kylie. It\'s the girl that she saw five years ago in the mall. She\'s sure that they would get back together and although Xavier promised her that he\'ll never love again but her, sex is there. He can screw any woman she loves. 

 She looked at the door when someone knocked. The door opened and her mother entered. Sabrina closed the door and approached her. She lay on the bed in front of her and caressed her hair. 

"So, are you going out with Zendaya in Madagascar?" 

"Yeah," She nodded. 

"Okay, you know how to take care of yourself and Zendaya is like her mother. She\'s good with things physically." 

"We\'ll be fine. It\'s just a camping trip." 

"I am not worried about that. But this time, I\'m worried about something." 

"Hmm, what is that?" 

"Your heart," Sabrina said. "Seeing you hurt makes me hurt." 

"I\'m fine, mom." Athena put away the pillow and hugged her mother. "When I get back, I will face Xavier. I want closure…" 

"But what if he wants you back too?" 

"Then, who am I to say no? I love the guy. I\'m sure that he\'s shocked by what he knows." 

"That\'s my smart girl." Sabrina kissed her forehead.
