Hidden

Chapter 1: Arrival

Athena was sitting peacefully inside the restaurant. A set of a meal is in front of her. It was already almost 12 noon but she is still eating her breakfast. Playing the spoon in her hands, she cursed silently.

F*ck it! It's that old woman's fault that my breakfast became lunch! I just arrived at this country yet after I step out on the plane someone already waited to pick me up! She immediately found out that I will arrived today!

She put the spoon back and drank a glass of water to calm herself. The moment she saw them, she immediately tried her best to flew away. But that old woman's people is not easy to deal with.She was almost caught!

Thankfully, the luck was in her side.

It was already three years that has passed. She didn't met the old woman in that three years because she run away for some reason. The old woman was terribly worried and tried any means to find her but the result was still negative.

The place she was staying for three years was not just some simple place. And that's why that old woman can't find her.

She already expected the events that happened, a little. That old woman has a big authority to control the situation in the Country Z so the moment she arrived, her people immediately know it.

She came back also for some reason. And she needs to find a way to not meet that old woman. That old woman is not really bad, it is just that she can't stay in that old woman's side.

She continued to eat silently. Her stomach growled loudly earlier. So right now, she will fill her stomach until she can't eat anymore.

Not long after, when she was done eating, her bright big eyes shined immediately.

Hmm, eating is life! It is so delicious!

She satisfyingly asked the waiter for her bills and gave her money before walk out.

She stretched her hands and tidied her clothes."Hmm, where can I rent a hotel? "

She roamed her eyes around. She didn't bring anything. Not even a big or small bag. Except her black card. She has lightened up her mood when she succesfully stole this black card to the guy she knew!

She smirked when she remember it. She was just too lazy to bring a thing! So she decided to bring a money, she can just buy everything she wants! Moreover this is a black card! Filled with unlimited money!

She raised her feet and walked inside the big and famous mall. She casually picked some clothes while humming an unknown song. She also bought some make up and cosmetics.

A sudden idea popped out in her mind. Her bright eyes glimmered as she smiled. Heh, this time that old woman's people can't see her anymore!

She paid everything first before she went inside the comfort room. She applied some make up in her face and changed her clothes. The previous, wild and carefree demeanor changed into a charming and fragile one. Her all-black clothes turned into a white dress. Her gorgeous and blank face turned into an angelic face.

She changed completely to a beautiful and charming little lady! The old woman just saw her appearance as a arrogant and blank face! This was the first time she became a little white flower! Right now, she is certain that the old woman's people can't recognize her! Even to the old woman herself!

She looked amusingly into the mirror. Even she didn't expect too much that she can turn herself into a different lady! Too far to her previous appearance!

"Gosh! Can't believe that I am mesmerizingly beautiful! "

Meanwhile, the man named Vic has a troubled face. He can't find the Young Miss! He will definitely die right now!

"C-captain...... How can we explain this to the Old Madam? "his assistant Feng said nervously.

Behind Feng there were more than 20 bodyguards dressed with black, also has a nervous faces. Not knowing what to do!

Vic sighed helplessly. After three years the Young Miss has finally arrived but he was still tricked like he has always been.

"Assistant Feng, make sure to check every place here in Country Z! A small place or big! Check every camera and find the Young Miss's trails from the moment the plane landed! Even if we have to turn the whole Country Z upside down! We should do it! Release all the Team and search Young Miss secretly! Call me immediately if you found the Young Miss! "

Feng obeyed the order strictly and carefully. If they can't find the Young Miss soon, they won't know what face would they will gave to the Old Madam! Old Madam can be easily angered if it is about Young Miss!

Not too far from them, the Young Miss they searched hardly was laughing her heart out!

Their nervous faces was just so hilarious! Hahaha!

She just can't help it but laugh. Haha.

She forcefully stopped herself from laughing as she walk towards them. She secretly smiled when she think of something. Hehehe....

Vic who was finding a way to find the Young Miss felt a slight sudden pressure in his left shoulder. He found out that a young lady bumped into him!

"I-I'm sorry! I am so s-sorry! "a nervous voice came from the young lady, as she bent her body a little to pick up the things that has dropped.

Vic immediately acted and helped her. "No, it's okay. But you should be careful next time! "

The young lady looked up slowly and revealed a shy expression. "I-I will!"

Vic froze when he saw the young lady's face. The beautiful face with her cheeks flushed a little was just too breathtaking! She looks like an obedient and innocent young lady!

Even Feng beside Vic who had his attention snatched by the young lady was in awe. His breathing stopped immediately as he looked at that angelic face!

Where am I? Am I in the Heaven? How come....... how come I've seen an Angel in front of me?

"E-eh? Are you okay? "the young lady shyly asked when they stared at her in awe.

Vic immediately snapped back at his senses. Can't help himself to look away, he just nodded his head slowly. While Feng was still questioning himself.

The young lady smiled sweetly. "T-then, I will go now. "

Both of them was still tailing their eyes to the young lady. It was the first time they saw a lady that was exaggeratingly beautiful! Her charm immediately took their mind in daze!

But........ why do they feel like the young lady's aura was... a little familiar?

In the Smith's Main Company*

A tall and handsome man was sitting at the chair elegantly. His eyes was looking down at the paper he's holding. His face didn't show any trace of emotion. His expression was blank and his gaze was icy cold. His aura was giving some danger. You would be easily suppressed by him.

It was evidently shown that he is not in a good mood. Cali Smith who was sitting in the sofa has his head lowered and didn't dare to even breath loudly. His brother was so godd*mn terrifying! I-I want to go home so badly!

The man's right hand was standing beside him at the corner and his head was also lowered. There is a cold sweat in his forehead and just like Cali, he didn't breath loudly. His heart was beating so fast like he is waiting for his death sentence!

The two of them was waiting a miracle to happen. Wishing that there will be a kind-hearted goddess to come and help them get out in this situation!

The whole room was silent that even a drop of needle can be heard clearly.

While the man didn't have any change of movements and aura. No one knows what he is thinking. He slowly put the paper down. Both Cali and the man's right hand Keil was more nervous.

Cali bite his lips hardly. First Brother would not send us to hell now, right?

They just received a report that their dealing with an important client has almost not dealt properly. Thankfully Cali came immediately and assess the situation! Otherwise, they will face the King's Great Madness!

This project was just too important! If they lose it, the losses in the Corporation would be unimaginable!!!

Actually, all their projects are so important. The Board Members always dealt with it peacefully without chaos. But now, one of the Board Member made a mistake!

But, the Great King is still at rage! Him as a perfectionist, this kind of thing cannot be forgiven easily! He won't even let the Corporation lost a single cent, not to mention that they would've lost an amount tens of millions!

"Eradicate Board Member Shen in his place. He can't step inside the Yun Corporation eternally. "the man's cold voice travelled the room entirely.

They shuddered when they heard the man's cold voice. Keil stood straight. "Your command will be carried out perfectly, Master! "

Keil immediately felt a great amount of pity to Board Member Shen. Master is truly cruel!

The position of the Board Member in the Smith Corporation is in a high level yet Board Member Shen would be wipe out in his place eternally! He would become an ordinary citizen immediately!

Cali who also felt pity to Board Member Shen slowly shook his head.I can't blame my First Brother to be cruel.

"Leave. "

They immediately left without second thoughts. They are already thankful that they already left that dangerous room!

Inside the room, Ezequiel massage his temples gently. His aura dissipated bit by bit. Suddenly, his phone rang. The caller is his Grandma so he answered the call.

"Hello? Grandson? "a cheerful voice from the other line make his expression gentle. His voice softened clearly different from what his voice earlier.

"Hmm, what is it Grandma? "

The other line, when Ezequiel's Grandmother heard his voice. She smiled widely.

"Guess what is it? I received some good news!! "she happily said. Her voice filled with excitement!

"What good news? "Ezequiel asked.

Grandma grinned. "I can't say it for now. Come and have a dinner with me tonight, alright?"

Ezequiel took a few seconds before answered back. "Yes. "

When the call hung up, Ezequiel's expression darkened as he already knew what that good news is.

He tidied his clothes before coming out to office for his schedule in this hour.

Meanwhile, Athena got a hotel to rent. It is just an ordinary hotel, not so luxurious. She is sitting comfortably in her seat while watching some action movies.

Her right hand is holding a popcorn and the other is holding a soda. Her bright eyes is so focused on the movie.

Not so long, her phone rang. The movie has become so intense so she just casually pick her phone up and answer it without looking at the caller.

"Hello? "she asked with her lazy voice.

"You! Athena Taylor! It's been three years and finally you had decided to appear!—"the voice on the other line didn't get the chance to continue it's line when Athena throw the phone in the wall due to her surprise and panic.

"The hell! How did that guy got my phone number?! "she yelled and threw everything in her hands.

She didn't expect that someone got her phone number! She didn't gave her number to anyone! So how....

The phone rang again despite being thrown up.

*ring. ring. ring*

Athena subconsciously bit her fingers while cursing silently in her heart. She didn't know what to do. She's been tracked!

Before the ringtone stop she decided to take it and answer the call calmly.

"What's up Big Brother! "she greeted lazily. She went back to sit at the single sofa.

"Why did the call turned off? You dare to hang me up?! "

Her lips twitched up. "What if I do? "

"Ungrateful Sister! Do you know how hard it is to find you?! It cost me more money! And now that I found you, you will going to compensate me! "the voice sounded so demanded and acted righteously.

Athena raised her brows, not believing her brother even in a one percent. For him, it is so easy to find her. Just like killing an ant. And now, he's telling her how many difficulties he had survived just to find her. Even comanded a compensation! How shameless! Does he think I am a foolish person?

"Big Brother, are you really that poor? "

"Why do you think I accepted this job if I am rich? "the guy on the other line snorted.

"Accepted this job? Do you think I'm a fool? "Athena smirked.

No one knows her big brother than her herself. She knew many tricks her brother did just to get a money. He is a money-monster. And the 'job' he talked about, didn't exist at all. He is just making some stories. Just to earn money.

"Aiya, why would I think that? "

Athena shook her head. "Where are you right now? "

"Well, I am here. "

She frowned. What did he mean by 'here'?

"Here? "

"Yeah. Here. "

"Where the hell is 'here'?! "She cursed. Sometimes, she want to kill him. Even if he is her brother.

"Uhh, here! I am here! "

She rolled her eyes in irritation and said firmly. "Specificity. "

"Well, here. Here at my house. "

She blow a deep breath. "Is that so? Okay, then. "

She was about to hung up the call when her big brother added something.

"Hey, don't forget the compensation—"

"F*ck off! "she cursed loudly and hung up the call.

Her big brother, Blaine Damian is always shameless in terms of money. And it is true that he has no money.

Actually, she and her big brother didn't have any blood relation. They just grew up together. And when Athena's parents died in a accident, her big brother never left her and provided her anything she needs.

But even if they don't have any blood relation, their bond cannot be underestimated.

She stood up and stretch her body. Now that she had arrived at the Country Z, she need to find a job for her living.

She sent Blaine a text message to meet her up to a small restaurant.

She didn't forget to dress up as a innocent little young lady before going to the small restaurant.

She tilted her head. Wondering if Blaine can recognize her with this outfit.

Small restaurant*

In front of her is a bunch of dumplings. This is her favorite food. She likes its taste.

She ate silently while waiting for Blaine to appear. Why is he so late? It's been a minute yet he still did not appear! Uhh, that idle guy.

"Why did you think to dress like that? "a black-haired guy with his tall and slender figure sat on the chair near her.

Athena raised her brows. She didn't expect that Blaine really did recognize her!

But still, she needed to test him.

She remained her innocent expression. "Excuse me, do I know you?"

Blaine just chuckled and pick a dumplings. "Why put such pretense? "

Her face darkened when she saw her lovely dumplings being eaten by him. She slapped his hands and quickly took back the little dumplings.

"Aww! "

"Sorry, but I think you had mistaken me for someone. And please, don't be rude to casually stole some foods in front of the owner."she stated and glared at him.

She immediately lowered her head and continue to eat. D*mn it! She almost exposed herself! She need to be a innocent and kind-hearted young lady!

But it is about dumplings, it is already counted as a miracle the moment she withdraw her glare! Dumplings is her beloved food. She will immediately go crazy in rage if someone tried to eat her dumplings.

Blaine casually massage his hands."Eyy, why are you like that? Don't tell me you are not my Sister?"

Athena calmly nodded and without looking up.

"Hmm, you are saying that you are not my super duper ugly little sister? "he asked her curiously.

Athena stopped for a moment before nodded again but in her heart she cursed Blaine endlessly.

What super duper ugly little sister?! Is he blind?! What part of me that is ugly, huh?!

Blaine held his chin up like he is thinking of something. "You are really not that ungrateful amazona woman? "

Athena gritted her teeth secretly while still managing to put an innocent smile. "Sorry, but I am really not that person. "

What ungrateful amazona woman?! Am I really that kind of woman?! This jerk...

"It's good then. You are such a beautiful and innocent young lady. Don't be like my sister. "Blaine shook his head like he is greatly disappointed.

"Excuse me but, are you disappointed that I am not your sister? "she asked casually.

Blaine nodded. "Yes, yes. The truth is, that sister of mine is really ungrateful. Say that, I am such in a hardship ever since she is born yet she didn't even dare to show how grateful she is. She ignored me and cursed anytime. Saying that I am her worst brother ever. Aiya, she is really amazona. Like to beat some people if she is in a bad mood. Act as if she's pretty but the truth is...... she's ugly. Tsk, tsk. If I did not felt any pity towards her, I think I would break our brother and sister relationship. "

When Blaine said that slowly, she held tightly in the dumplings she's holding. And now, it became tiny. Her fist turned white and her face darkened.

Blaine acted that he didn't notice it and just continue on blabbering."I would really like to question someone, how can I have a ungrateful and unruly sister? She is always requesting some money for her shoppings.I am already so tired for making some money, yet, in the end she's gonna spend it like she is rich. Uhh...... I hate it—"

He stopped the moment the aura around Athena turned dark. He silently gulped and about to continue when he met a dark gaze. Her lips curled upwards devilishly.

"Heh, Blaine Damian. What did you just say? "her words is akin to the devil who is being provoked.

Blaine gulped nonstop. Sister is mad right now. Did I overdo it?

"Super duper ugly little sister, ungrateful amazona woman, ignored you, cursed you and beat someone when I'm in a bad mood. Act as if pretty but ugly, felt pity about me, spend money from you..... "She said coldly. There is a cold smirk in her eyes. The innocent young lady earlier disappeared immediately and replaced with the expression 'playing her prey before kill it'.

There is a cold sweat in Blaine's hands. Maybe, he should run right now.
