Part 1

The black limousine has just stopped in front of a large, luxurious white with many golden colored mansion. The garden contains so many flowers that can be mistaken for a rainbow stuck there.


The driver then came out and hurriedly opened the limousine door, to let the person out.


Athanasia landed her feet on the ground and elegantly walked towards the large mahogany door. A butler stood at the door to welcome her.


"Welcome back, miss. What about your activities today?", the butler bowed while taking her bag


"Hmmm ... I'm home, Jack. As usual, the only difference is I'm more busy", answered her


"I understand. Do you want some tea?"


"Bring it to my room. I have to take care of the documents."


"Yes, miss", Jack bowed again and went to the kitchen.


Athanasia climbed the stairs to her room. She passed the white door and heard a noise.


'Hm? It's still early, why is there a voice in dad's office?'


Athanasia felt curious and knocked on the door.


Knock knock!


No answer


"Dad? Are you there?"


Again, no answer. Then what is that rustling sounds earlier?


"Dad, I'm coming in okay?"


Athanasia slowly opened the door and peeked. She saw the window slightly open and the papers still neatly on the table. She then walked to find the source of the voice earlier.


"Hm? That's strange. I thought someone was here."


Creak!


A little sound from the wardrobe could be heard. She already knew who it was now. But she will pretend she didn't hear anything.


She walked to the window and closed it then saw a few photos in the room. Slowly, heading to a certain large black wardrobe, she could hear the snicker sound.


And then she burst open the door, showing a woman in her middle 30s and a 10-year-old boy.


"Gotcha!"


"Ah ... She found us, Aither. What should we do now?"


"Mom, from the beginning I refused to do this"


"Don't be like that, my child. It's fun to prank on your sister, right?"


"Mom, you're already on your middle 30s and you're still playing like this?", Athanasia rubbed her temples with a slight smile.


"Aww ... My baby girl needs some relaxing time too. I don't want you to be like your father, having that stressful mind and blank expression", the woman pouted.


"Hahaha ... Alright, now how was your day, Aither?", Athanasia picked the little boy.


"Fine as usual. Love letter", Aither reply with a blank expression.


"Umm ... mom? I think Aither needs a better relaxing time than me. Look at him, a splitting image of daddy ", Athanasia sweatdropped.


"Hmm ... What can I do, Athy? I've tried everything for him. I give up"


Knock knock!


"Come in", Athanasia replied.


"Lady Diana, Miss Athanasia, Young Master Aither, Mr. Claude has returned ", Jack.


"Huh? At this time? What happened?", Athanasia puts her brother on the floor.


"I wonder if he forgot something", said Diana.


"If he forgets something, he will ask Felix to take it"


"Makes sense", Diana


Aither just be quiet while holding Diana's clothes. Then they came out of the room. Athanasia returned to her room to change clothes, Diana and Aither welcomed their husband / father. Jack was down already before them.



Athanasia Room

A large room with light blue walls, whether thick or not white lines above, there is a golden lining for decoration. There is a king size bed, a large mirror, a large white table, dominated by a gold cabinet and 2 doors. One for the bathroom and another for the walk-in-wardrobe.


She entered the room and chose a simple but quite refreshing green one-piece. She also let her hair fall and put it on her shoulder. After that she decided to go meet her dad that came home unusually faster than before.


Slowly she walked down the stairs and went to the living room, she met her father sipping his tea.


"Welcome back, dad. What's up? You're coming back this early today", Athanasia kissed him on the cheek briefly.


"I'm tired. The dogs won't stop barking", Claude frowned


'More dogs'


"Athanasia, do you want to eat?", Diana asked from the kitchen


"Yes, mom"


"Aither", Claude calls his son.


Aither ran to him and crawled into his lap and asked, "What is it, dad?"


"Do you want a friend?", Claude smirked


"Pffrttt!!!", Athanasia suddenly spits her tea and is dumfounded to look at Claude.
