Athena POV
"Liam!!!" Logan yelled, I could recognize his rage compared to his brothers own as he pulls Liam away from me.
"What is all this Athena, you should at least wait before falling In love with my brother". Logan questioned me.
"You shouldn't blame her, I was the one who made the advances at her so you should blame me instead". Liam said in an apologetic tone. Which was surprising to hear but I know Logan wasn't bothered about that at all.
"How can such words come out of your mouth, do you want me to also share her with you." Logan said to Liam who laughs out loud.
"Share, you call this share? I haven't even. Touched her and you are claiming her or are you forgetting the fact that she belongs to me and you won't have met or touch her if I did not give you the privilege, or made her get any close to you". Liam said to Logan who seemed quiet I know he had finally realized he was still at fault in all that was happening right now. He was the same person who made Caleb betray me.
"But why would she be carrying my child and still be in an intimate affair with you isn't that crazy!" Logan said.
"I was not planning on touching her in any way the only thing I wanted you to do for me was keep away from her so she can concentrate on her main mission and not because she is pregnant for you means you has the privilege to do whatever you want."Liam said looking at Logan who stares at me before walking out, why do I feel like I am the course of all their problems and no matter how I try I can't change that.
Liam POV
As I trained Athena personally, I couldn't help but notice how much she had grown in such a short period of time. Her movements were becoming smoother and faster with each passing day. She was a natural born fighter, and it was a pleasure to watch her improve.
As we trained, I couldn't help but feel a sense of protectiveness towards her. She was carrying my brother's child, and I didn't want anything to happen to either of them. But at the same time, I couldn't shake off my growing feelings for her. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't help it.
One day, as we were training, I accidentally grazed my hand against her belly. I froze as I felt the movement of the baby inside her, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe and wonder. This was the life that I helped create, and it was a surreal experience.
"Are you okay, Liam?" Athena asked me, concern etched on her face.
"I'm fine, just...surprised, I guess," I said, not wanting to reveal my true feelings. "Let's continue."
As time passed, my feelings for her only grew stronger. It was getting harder for me to hide them from both her and my brother. But I knew that it was wrong, and I had to keep them to myself.
One day, as we were training, I lost my concentration and accidentally hit Athena a bit too hard. She stumbled back, clutching her shoulder in pain.
"I'm sorry, Athena. Are you okay?" I asked, rushing to her side.
"I'm fine, just a little sore," she said, rubbing her shoulder. "It's just part of the training."
But I knew it was more than that. I had let my feelings for her cloud my judgement, and now I had hurt her. I couldn't let that happen again.
As we continued our training, I made a conscious effort to keep my feelings in check. It wasn't easy, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I couldn't let my selfish desires ruin everything that Athena had worked for.
But even as I tried to push my feelings aside, I knew deep down that they would always be there, lurking beneath the surface, waiting to be unleashed. And as much as I tried to fight them, I knew that eventually they would win.
I decided to take a few minutes of break for myself as I took a stroll around the garden of the mansion, I noticed Amanda so deep in thoughts as she stared at Luke who was making a phone call at the garage.
"You might as well just go to him than admire him from afar". I said to her making her jerk up from her position.
.
"I can't do that, Liam. It's not that simple," Amanda said, her gaze still fixed on Luke.
"What do you mean?" I asked, moving closer to her.
"I love Luke, and I know he loves me too. But I can't help but feel like I'm losing him to Athena. She's always around him, and he seems to be more invested in her than he is in me," Amanda said, her voice heavy with emotion.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration towards Athena. It seemed like everything in our lives revolved around her and her pregnancy. But at the same time, I knew that Amanda's feelings were valid, and I couldn't dismiss them.
"Amanda, you have to talk to Luke. Tell him how you feel. Don't just assume he's choosing Athena over you. Communication is key in any relationship," I said, trying my best to offer her support.
"I know you're right, Liam. I just don't want to lose him," Amanda said, tears now streaming down her face.
"You won't lose him, Amanda. Just talk to him," I said, giving her a comforting pat on the back before heading back to my room.
As I lay on my bed, I couldn't help but think about everything that had happened over the past few weeks. My brother was going to be a father, and I was slowly losing my grip on my own emotions. I knew that I had to be strong for both Athena and my brother, but it seemed like a daunting task.
But as I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep, I knew that I couldn't give up. I had to keep fighting, for Athena, for my brother, and for myself. Only time would tell what the future held, but I was determined to face it head on.
The next morning I decided to have a little pep talk with Luke and was hoping he might listen to me because this was all about him and the fact that he won't let go of her despite her pregnancy.
"What do you want to talk to me about". Luke said as he enters my room while I got ready to go downstairs for breakfast.
"I want you to let go of Athena". I instructed not even glancing at him for a second.
"Ha, you must be joking. After everything I told you, you still have the guts to tell me not to pursue my love for her," Luke said while I nodded…
"I won't let go of her, I told you before abd I would continue to say it till you get it into your sculp that I love Athena, I loved her even before any of you came in. I still can't believe you just told me this". Luke said about to walk away as he always did but this time I was ready to convince him
"Do you remember what Amanda did to Jadennn?" I asked Luke as he stops on his track.
" I remembered but that was a long time ago and nothing like that can ever happen". Luke said.
"Last night I saw Amanda and from the way she stared and talked to me I know what she has in mind, it's either she us planning something or she already has a plan in action. If you really love Athena you would protect her from Amanda's devilish ways because this time around it's someone you love she would be tampering with". I said to him making him stand at my doorway totally quiet, I know he was thinking of what I just said and us trying to process whatever is happening and had happened in the past.
"Amanda won't do something like that she promised me she would be a different person and I trust her". Luke replied. I can't believe Amanda still manipulates his thoughts.
"Why are you intentionally being so dense to what Amanda means, you know the kind of person she is and how much suffering Jadennn had to go through, you know the minute I saw Athena I knew why you liked her but I just wasn't sure if my suspicions." I said to him.
"What do you mean?" Luke asked now looking at me.
"You feel in love with Athena at fuest sight because she was an exact copy of Jadennn which clearly explained why Amanda made Jadennn's life a living hell". I said to him as I felt Luke tense up.
I was right.
