Athena is saying thank you with tears in her eyes, but Pumpkin has already gone.

She hurries with the pack of cereal in a paper bag, pressed against her chest. She never thought that a day would come when her cousin would be nice to her…

As she gets to the gate, normally, the security never pay any attention to her, but since she is holding something in her hands (which is unusual) they stop her.

“Athena, what do you have in your hands?”

Athena’s heart pierce with fear. They want to take her precious cereal?

“Nothing! I mean, it's something, but it was given to me by my cousin! I didn't steal anything!”

“We didn't accuse you of stealing, Athena.”

“I know you are, by the way you are looking at me! My mother trained me never to take what's not mine, so you have nothing to fear.”

Her words of assurance did nothing for them, and before she knew it, she had been forcefully turned around, and she was being pushed back to the house.

“Well, if Miss Pumpkin gave it to you, then you don't mind us taking you back?!”

“What?! No!” Athena shrieks. She didn't steal this, but Aunt Finna will take it away from her.

She is screaming, and begging for them to let her go, but they don't listen. They throw her so hard on the floor of the living room so roughly that she falls against a couch and tears her knee open.

The box of cereal falls to the ground and spreads like beads. Her cousin whistles as she sees what's happening.

“What?!” Aunt Finna yells as she stares at the ground. “Did this little thief take my daughter's precious cereals?!”

“No! No, Aunt Finna, I would never steal from you! Pumpkin was the one who gave it to me. She said that she doesn't like them, she said it's okay.”

Aunt Finna’s eyebrows furrow with annoyance as she turns to her daughter.

“I did no such thing!” Pumpkin gasps with fake surprise. “Why would I give this pig something my father got for me from overseas? I merely turned around and she was gone with the box of cereal. I was perplexed too, mum.”

Athena immediately bursts into her hands with tears. Of course this was a trap, why didn't she see it? Her cousin would never give her anything on a silver platter.

“Please, Aunt Finna, you have to believe me! Pumpkin gave it to me, I would never call you a liar!”

One of the security flicks her in the back of her head. “Are you now calling the young Miss Pumpkin a liar?! How dare you come into this house to disrespect your Aunt so much?!”

But the truth is that everyone knows that Pumpkin is lying, even her mother.

She has a bad reputation everywhere she goes, even at school, but they all fail to admit that Pumpkin Kent is a chronic liar.

Now, poor Athena has to pay for it.

Aunt Finna grabs Athena by her chin and digs her fingers so deep into her skin that Athena screams.

“You dare to steal from me and lie against my daughter? I am going to teach you a lesson, you little brat!”

She raises her and as if to slap Athena, who has shut her eyes, bracing herself for the impact, but it never comes.

What comes is the shaking of the house that everyone immediately thinks that there is going to be an earthquake.

The beautiful ceramic figurines crash to the ground very loudly.

Pumpkin's eyes are filled with fear as she grabs her mother. “What's this, mum? What's happening?!”

“Mrs Kent, has Mister Kent finally bought the helicopter that he spoke so much about?!”

“No.” Aunt Finna murmurs. “My husband would have called to tell me if he got it!”

She holds on to her daughter's hand and everyone dashes out of the house.

Over twenty servants are already outside, everyone is wondering what has happened.

They collectively gasp when they see the helicopter hovering around the roof. It's a military helicopter…

“D– Daddy?” Athena shakes.

Roman might be the most feared man in the world, but when his wife asks for leg massages, he dare not say no. He sits her down, plays her favorite classic music, and he goes to work immediately. "It's good to see you relaxed." He smiles at her. "Yeah. My legs keeps swelling to the size of a boulder," she complains. "The baby keeps kicking me so hard too. Athena was different, she was very gentle." Roman can't help but laugh. "Looks like we now know which kid is going to become the next dragon general." Both of them laughs, but Stephanie notices something, infact she has been noticing it for the past four days. Yes, Roman is so used to carrying the burden of the entire world on his shoulders, but this is different. Anthony Petrov is dead, he has helped solved all the wars of the world, so what can be this thing bothering the god of war? She has been observing him for a while, but she doesn't want to outrightly ask him. She believes that he will reveal his worry to her. Maybe t

The first thing that Oksana did for Lilith to get her comfortable in her new home and also get her into the teenage spirit is to get her a car. It's a second-hand car, but it's in very good shape, and Lilith immediately loves the car like it's her child. She gives her full concentration to driving school and celebrates the whole night when she finally gets her driver's license. So, once Oksana tells her that she has asked one of her colleagues to brush up Lilith's shooting skills, she is more than happy to drive to the private ranch to meet this person. All her happiness leaves her like air leaving a deflated balloon. Why didn't Oksana tell her that it's Carmen? He is sitting on the hood of his car, a cigarette sticking out of his mouth. He is not in his uniform, but dressed like any young lad in his early twenties. They lock eyes, staring down at each other like the rivals that they are. Lilith won't leave her car, and when Carmen is tired of waiting for her, he goes over an

Finna looks very different in her navy blue prison uniform. To be honest, she didn't even think that Stephanie would pick the call. Why would she? After the horrible thing that she did to her? She is even about to put the phone down and return to her cell when she finally hears her sister breathing at the other end. "Hello? Finna?" Finna holds her breath for a second. This is actually a lot harder than she thought it would be. "Stephanie?" Her voice breaks. "Yes, Finna, it's me." "How are you doing?" "I'm fine, but I should be asking you that. How are you doing?" Finna holds her hands and looks around her. "You know what? I'm actually doing pretty good." Stephanie inhales sharply at the other end. "I'm glad, Finna. I'm glad that we are talking." Finna bites down her lips and keeps her eyes slightly shut. It's a distraction to keep her eyes from turning into fountains of tears. "This is like the eighth time that I've tried to call you. I actually chickened out many times

Stephanie can't lie, no matter how hard she pretends, her life has changed a lot. She is now first lady, the most popular and respected woman in the country. She literally had to argue hard with Roman to get him to withdraw over fifty soldiers from guarding her all the time, and leaving her with one person. Willow. She is also still working in the hospital, performing surgeries even when her pregnant belly is as large as a drum. She is just seven months, and Roman makes sure that her and the baby's condition is monitored every single day. Even with all of this chaos, Stephanie is trying to maintain some things from her old life. One of those things is her friendship with Oksana. They are both super busy and popular now, but every Thursday, they meet at their favorite local diner to have some food and catch up on some gossip. The owners of the local diner have become very very successful because of the patronage of the first lady, and they don't take it for granted. They mak

Oksana has just pulled her car into her spacious garage, she has just come back from work. She works in Roman's presidency, in the military wing. She occupies one of the highest administrative ranks in the military, and because of her personal relationship with Roman, she is something of a legend among the military folks. They know that she was a fierce woman who has gone through a lot, and they respect her so much for that. But for Oksana, she is done with all the blood and trauma, that's why she decided to work in the administrative section of the military. She likes the calmness and serenity of her job, but it's also very demanding, which she is not complaining about. At least she gets to clock out at four o'clock, and pick her son up from school. Both of them exhale tiredly as they step out of the car. "I'll get started with dinner." Oksana says. "And I'll load the washer," Alex says with a smile. She kisses his head, ruffles his hair, and then lets him walk through the

For the first time since she was born, Lilith travels back to the country of her birth to see her mother's grave. It's nothing fancy, the stone head is already crumbling, and her mother's name is almost wiped away by the elements. Still, Lilith goes down on her knees and she uses her hands to flick off the leaves, and wipe the dirt away. She is so sad, her heart is heavy, but she has a smile on her face. "Hey, Mum. It's crazy, because I have never called anyone that before, physically. I feel nervous, because this would be my first time meeting you," Lilith says. "Look, I got you flowers. I'm not sure which is your favourite, but I brought mine. I like hydrangeas. I hope you do." She places it on the grass, hearing the gentle wind blowing hair into her face. She chuckles, because she imagines that it's her mother's spirit trying to whisper to her. "You know, we finally got justice. That pompous son of the Petrov family that got you pregnant and killed you later, he is dead n
