Shock in disbelief that it was written on Athena’s face. Isn't her daddy happy to see her?

“What’s wrong, dad? You don't want to see me?” I asked him.

My father's face showed a variety of reactions. Fear, apprehension, and nervousness. I sat down next to him and held out his trembling hand.

“You can talk to me, Dad. I’m your daughter. I’m willing to listen. I’m sorry because I chose to work far away rather than accompany you here.” I said.

Tears welled up in her daddy's eyes. It looked at me straight.

"Don Esteban wants me to sign those papers so that he can take over the company I worked for.” He says.

Who the hell is Don Esteban? My mind said.

“I owe him ten million dollars. He would take the company as payment because I didn't pay it. Because I refused to sign, they threatened to kill you." Daddy remarked.

My entire body was engulfed in terror.

"So I decided to simply hand over the company to them because you are more valuable than money." "Daddy remarked.

I was touched by his words, but he was work hard for the company for long years.

“No way, Dad! Please don't give up. That 10 million dollars will be paid.” I explained.

"Don Esteban is a shrewd businessman, Princess." He will not allow himself to be denied what he desires!” Dad exclaimed, I was surprised because I didn't believe I'd have any problems when I arrived home. Then a loud bang moved us to the front door, where an armed man in black entered and snatched my father.

"Easy, don't drag my father!" I yelled.

I was about to kick the man who was holding my father, but he pointed the gun at my father's head. I'm aware that we've been apprehended. We could die if one wrong move is made, so I'm not making any moves.

"Don't move, or I'll blow your father's head off," the man in black warns.

My father then gave me a worried look. He was apologizing to me. Shit! I'm not going to let them harm my father.

"What exactly do you want?" I said, my tone solemn. The yellow-haired man smiled.

"I had no idea Mr. Patterson's daughter was brave.”

"Release my daddy," I said, and then the man agreed.

He shoved my father and then push down on the floor. I took care of it while holding my father's hand. Shit! Their treatment makes my blood boil. If her daddy wasn't here, I might have broken their bones, but they had firearms, and she didn't want to put his daddy's life on the line.

"We'll come with you," I said,

“And you don't have to be aggressive."

My father shook his head, but he couldn't do anything. We accompanied them and rode in the black vehicle. I stopped inquiring about our destination. My daddy's eyes questioned, but I told him not to make a fuss. As a result, it also calmed down. I gave Daddy some water because he felt tired. The black van came to a halt in front of the mansion, the paint appearing to be brown, but I couldn't see much because it was out of date. As the boys clutched our hands, Daddy and I went down.

"You don't need to pull us because we'll be well," I explained.

We stopped at the closed door. It opens and ushers us inside. My eyes landed on the old man sitting in front of me while carrying a cigarette. He grinned like a demon as he faced my daddy.

"It’s nice seeing you again, Patterson, so this beautiful woman is your daughter. Am I right?" Was his question to her father. Daddy nodded and the old man looked at me, but I didn't react. He will take care of his life! Who is this person? I just saw it now.

“Do you have any idea why I brought your father here with you?” It asked me.

But I did not say even a word. My mind is in chaos right now. If I’m not planning to visit my dad, I didn’t that he had a big problem right now.

"I'm going to sign, Esteban, so don't touch my daughter!" My daddy shouted.

“Poor you, Patterson, but my plan is different. I will no longer force you to give me your company.”

"If your daughter can accomplish what I want her to do," Esteban remarked cheerfully. I scowled as I glanced at my father. There was an envelope presented to me by old Esteban staff. "Open it, Princess, so you can see what's inside," the old man said gently. I was terrified by what he said.

I grabbed the brown envelope and ripped it open, it showed me the sights of a woman and a man of my age. The man is attractive, and the woman is stunning. Because of the way they appear on camera, I believe they are a couple. My brow furrowed in concentration. The man's eyes caught my attention. He seemed to be staring at me closely. He looked at me as if he was about to search my entire system. Something strange happened to me. A strange feeling that I can’t name for now. We’re between life and death but my mind was want to stare at a man’s face for a moment.

This woman is extremely fortunate to have this man in her life. The way the man looked at the woman was full of affection and concern. My heart seemed to be in a state of disarray. Never before in my life have I felt loved by a man other than my father. A man will exclaim how fortunate he is that I am the one he adores. I was pulled back to reality by the old man's sneezing.

“Have you memorized every single one of their faces?” It said, I shrugged my shoulder in response.

"It's good because, in exchange for your life and your father's life, they'll be your target."
