Chapter 11: Chapter 11

Athena woke up in the sunlight coming out of her window as her nanny opened the curtain. She immediately covered with her left hand the light hitting her face. She smiled when she saw the ring tangled in her finger.

"Good morning Nanna!" she greeted her nanny with a wide smile on her face.

"Good morning young lady" she greeted back "It seems like, you have a good dream?" she continued.

"Nah… It's not a dream..." She said cheerfully. She got up from lying on her bed and went to the bathroom to do her morning routine. As she was still in her bathroom, her Nanna continue cleaning Athena's room.

After her bath, Athena decided to go downstairs and went into their dining area. She saw her father sitting in his usual seat and her mother on his father's right seat.

"Good morning Mom! Dad!" She cheerfully greeted her parents. She then sat opposite to her mother's which on the left side of her father's. With a confused look her parents greeted her back.

"Anthony, it seems that our daughter is having a good dream last night. Nanna told me she even greeted by our daughter." Mrs Jodie whispered to her husband enough to heard by their daughter.

Athena rolled her eyes, I heard you mom." she said. Mrs Jodie chuckled. "My dear sweetie, could you tell us what happened? What makes our daughter happy?" She teased and as if on cue the butler came in and whispered something to Mr. Anthony.

"Let them in" Said Mr Meredith and sip his coffee.

"Hon, who's them?" Mrs Jodie asked with a confused look. She isn't expecting any visitor early in this morning.

"Good morning Everyone." Said Mrs. Smith with a cheerful tone.

'What's wrong with these people in this early morning?' she thought to herself.

"Have a sit." Mr Anthony gesture his hands on vacant seats. Michael Angelo sit beside Athena. Mr Anthony called some maid and ask for plates for the visitors.

"So. What is the important matter that you want to discuss to us Mr. Robert?" He asked.

"It was my son, who wants to say something." Mr Robert said. Four pairs of the eyes are looking confusedly to Michael Angelo. Athena and Michael Angelo nodded their head and Athena raises her left hand with a ring on it. Mrs Jodie gasps. "Aunt, Uncle Athena and I are now official. " He said proudly. Their parents looked happy. "Congratulations to both of you son. I'm proud of you." Mrs Adelaine said. Michael Angelo chuckled while fixing his glasses. "When does it happen?" Mrs Jodie asked then she giggles.

Athena and Michael Angelo laughed. "Last night mom. He asked me for a date. I thought it was just a dinner date. But it's a romantic date in a yacht. Then he proposed to me with a ring." Athena said while smiling.

"I'm so proud of you son." Mrs. Adelaine said. She then looked at Athena. "Darling, you know what? My son has feelings for you for a long time. " She giggled

"Mom!" Michael Angelo protested.

"Adelaine stop teasing your son... Look his ears turns red." Mr. Robert said and chuckled. Now Michael Angelo turn his glaze to his father.

The table was filled with laughter and teasing. The couple's faces turned red as their parents are teasing them.

"But seriously, We are happy that, Your marriage is no longer because of the agreement, but it has become real, and you love each other." Mr Anthony said, and they all nod as they agree to what he said.

Cough…

"Mom, dad Aunt and Uncle, will you excuse us for a while?" Michael Angelo said. He held Athena's hand and went out to their house. "Where are we going?" she asked.

"We need to go your wedding designer. We have an appointment today." he said. Then Athena look at her self. "Wait! I'll go change first." she said

"Oh! Okay. I'll wait for you here." He said then he let go of Athena's hand. Athena hurried in to her room.

Michael Angelo is waiting outside his car when his phone rang.

"Yes?"

"Agent A, we have a meeting today." Yohan said.

"I have an errand to do with my fiancé, I'll go there after this." He said.

"But it's an urgent!" he said irritatingly.

"But I can't come now. You know agent y that I can't make an excuse today. We have a meeting with a designer today. I'll promise after this, I will be there. Just give me 2 hours." He explained.

"But Chief said it's an urgent matter. It's a matter of life of 10 children who are being kidnap! Now move your a** out there and come here." Michael Angelo sighed in defeat.

"Fine Give me an hour. I'll be there." He said with finality in his voice. He clenched his jaw as he close his eyes and massage his temple in frustration.

Furthermore, he didn't notice that Athena is heading towards him. She looked at Michael Angelo with a frown. "Is everything alright?" she asked with concerned written in her face.

He opened his eyes and look at Athena. He softened. "Nothing. It's about work, where Yohan and I are working." He open the door of his car in the shotgun seat and gesture to Athena. Athena is puzzled to what she heard, for all she knew, Michael Angelo just got home a week from now, and yet he has a work? As Michael Angelo seated on the driver seat, she asked out of her curiosity. "Do you have work? How come? You just got home from US."

"Is just that our boss in the US, transferred us here" He shrugged. "And Yohan and I got promoted to lead the project here. And now Yohan just called me that we've got a problem in our new project. That's why they badly need me." He now started the engine and drove the car away from Meredith's mansion.

"Oh, but if you need to go there you can just drop me off at the boutique." She said.

Michael Angelo looked at her and look back at the driveway. "No, I'll wait for you till you decided what to wear on our wedding." he said. She smiled, her heart flattered to what he said. Okay, I'll just make it quick." she said. They both smiled.

When they reached at the boutique, Athena hurriedly open the door of the car and went inside the boutique. She did not wait for Michael Angelo to find another car park. As Michael Angelo parked his car, he immediately went to the boutique where Athena is waiting.

As Athena went inside the boutique she saw different types of a wedding gown, she was then mesmerized by the beauty of each gown and its own details. She sat opposite to the wedding designer, Ms Lu.

"Good morning Ms Meredith, are you ready to fit your gown?" Ms Lu said.

"Yes Ms. Lu. Can we make it quick? My fiancé has an errand to do. And he needs to be there." She whispered. Ms Lu chuckled.

"What a lucky husband to be, I'm sure your husband is a very handsome guy." she said.

" Yes he is. And the kindest man I've ever met." Both of them chuckled. They were distracted by the sound of the wind chime sign that someone had entered, and it was Michael Angelo. Wearing a v-neck black shirt with brown leather jacket, black pants and a black shoes. Ms Lu looked from the foot up to the head. His build is very manly. 'It seems like his a regular in a gym' but when she looked at the face, she's a bit disappointed because Michael Angelo is wearing a thick glass.
