Athena had just returned from a long day of shopping with her friend Lydia alone with Liana, Lydia's daughter and Rosalina her daughter in-law to be. She was still basking in the joy of their time together as the driver dropped her off. The sight of a strange black Range Rover parked in the driveway barely registered in her blissful state.
The maids hurried to help with her shopping bags as Athena stepped into the house, a radiant smile lighting up her face. But that smile vanished in an instant. Her eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape as she froze, staring at the man sitting in the living room.
She blinked rapidly, wondering if her mind was playing tricks on her. For years, she had dreamed of seeing her son Adonis again. Her heart raced as she took in the familiar face. It couldn’t be—could it?
“Dimi… is… is… is that really my baby?” she stammered, her voice trembling with excitement and disbelief.
