Chapter 67 - Devil Lurks in Broad Daylight

Rosa opens the door for Athena to climb down from the car. She watches her get inside the school gate. The little girl turns her back and waves her hand to Rosa. Rosa gives her a flying kiss, "Alright sweety, see you later when we pick you up."

Brie swerves the car once Rosa clicks her seat belt. Rosa jolts with the sudden motion. They cannot be late from their call time. It is always a practice for them to come earlier. But she cannot deny Rosa's request to drop Athena at school. It disrupted the schedule Brie set as she has to drive a few degrees out of the way to their location shoot.

In the middle of the video and photoshoot, one of Hermes Marco's security comes with both hands carrying paper bags.

Brie inquires as soon as she sees him, "Where is your boss?"

"He is in a whole day conference madam that's why he sent this." The security lifts the bags he is holding.

Brie takes the bags and checks the content.

"Madam Desta is not here. So who are you calling madam? Anyway, tell him thank you."

"I apologize. I will go now Ms. Brie."

"Alright." Brie sighs.

She brings the dessert to Rosa as it is already lunchtime. Afterward, Rosa gets her make-up retouched to quickly finish the shoot. As soon as the shoot ends, the two women hurriedly pack their things as it is almost time for Athena to get out of school.

Athena has been waiting at the school gate with her teacher for almost 10 minutes when they arrive. The little girl runs to get inside the car when Rosa opens the back passenger door. She sits at the back to accompany Athena.

Brie glides the car to the main road. She gazes through the rear-view mirror to check her big girl and her little girl. Brie voices out, "Am I your driver?"

Rose replies, "What do you think?"

"That I'm also your bodyguard."

"Good thinking," Rosa giggles. "You're getting smart but Athena is still smarter than you."

"She's not smart," Brie complains. "She's some kind of a genius."

The little girl tinkers with a broken mechanical wristwatch, lost in her own world while Brie and Rosa bickers inside the car non-stop. A sudden bump halt their spatting. Rosa instinctively hugs Athena.

Both women turn their heads at the back to see who hit the rear end of Brie's car. Brie clicks her door open to get down and confront the driver when a black van stops in front of their car. Alarmed, Brie shuts her door and locks all doors. Four men approach their car and force the car door to open.

Brie holds her phone trying to dial for help. Her hands tremble from fear. Finally, the line connects. She successfully calls a number.

The other party has just pressed the answer button when Brie's voice appeals, "Help!" Then, the other line ends.

The men break the passenger door with their guns. Rosa holds Athena's face to her chest to protect her from any trauma.
