Chapter 4 - Fake

Athena's dream continues as it leads to become a nightmare.

"Ra-Raiden, don't believe it! It's-it's not true! Please!"

"Kierra, don't worry. My love for you is enough to believe you."

Only if those words are real, Athena thought her life would be better but it's not and it's fake..

Fake weddings. Fake affection. Fake words.

'Why did I just realize it now? Those evil glint he has in his eyes.'

Athena cry in her sleep.

After a little while, Athena's life played in front of her like a movie as she watch herself strive harder to win their acceptance, affection ,and attention from people she consider important.

"Kierra, We should sponsor that movie Annika would act in."

An implication, a hint she ignored.

"Kierra, Annika's already an actress, this family don't need one more! Also, aren't you managing the company? Who would manage it for Annika?"

"Bu-but I'm not going for an actress, I want to be a singer. Also I can-"

"Actress or singer! It's just the same! You will going to enter the showbiz! Just stop that illusion, you are already Raiden's wife. Have you really thought of that now?"

A dream to be a star that shines above the sky will always remains just a dream.

"You are amazing! I will never regret marrying you! I love you so much, Kierra!"

Four years. Athena spent four years just to hear that praise. Having no status in both company but she offered her hard work just to suceed.

Just for what? Love? Love that is just a human manifestation.

"It is rumored that the international killer and assassin who was wanted all over the world have been discovered. That is none other than the oldest child of Alzona family, Kierra Alzona."

"My God! No wonder her attitude is like that."

"She kill people! It's enough to say she's unreasonable!"

"Good thing my Goddess Annika is unharmed being with under the same roof."

"To the person before me, now that you point that out. Isn't she is the wife of the infamous Raiden Sy? They were almost 2 years married!"

"No! Person above, I heard that Raiden Sy don't live there and he's always out of the town for business!"

'People are really easy to be swayed by slanderous words.'

"You're just a disgrace for this family! How wish we never found you! You should have died when you were drown that year! From now on, you are not part of this family anymore!"

"It's not real! Please, believe me!"

"Get out of this house!"

Begging that no one believe. No one listened.

"Kierra Alzona! You are being arrest! Come with us right now!"

"No-no! Let go of me! Let go of me-"

"Kierra Alzona, because you are found guilty by the law. We are imposing you to be punish with life imprisonment!"

Athena saw her old pathetic self inside the cold cell. Begging for mercy and asking for help. Looking for an helper.

"Sister.. "

"Annika-Annika! You're here! At last! Help me! I didn't do it! I never kill a person! Help me please, I beg of you!"

Athena thought at that time she saw her hope when Annika arrived. The gleam of joy and hope could be seen in her eyes but it all crumbled.

"Ra-Raiden! Where's Raiden? Please tell him, It's not true. I'm sure he'll believe me, he loves me."

"Of course, you're innocent.. "

"Yo-you believe me?"

"Of course I do, I mean, why not? I am sole reason you are inside that cell."

"Wh-what?"

"Yes, my dear sister. I am the sole reason you are suffering. And now you are out of the picture, Raiden and I can marry each other with people thinking you are the evil. And we were meant for each other like a fairy tale where you are the villain."

"You're so evil! Let me get out of here! I need to tell Raiden about this!"

"Oh! No need, he already knew! I even conspire with him! You are the only doesn't know!"

"That's not true! Raiden loves me! Even if, I'm gone you can never marry him!"

"Up until now, you still believes that Raiden loves you?He doesn't loves you, he only needs you to make his company prosper. Aren't you wondering? He almost never go home to you. Because while you work for our future, we are enjoying ourselves in each other arms. And one more thing, you are not married, Raiden did not sign your marriage contract."

"That's not true!"

"You don't believe me? Look at this! Aren't you wondering why you did not arrange your marriage contract? Because you are not married in the first place."

"You are so evil!"
