"Dare to believe that good things are possible when you follow your heart." - Bryant McGill

My legs were trembling and my hands were shaking. I just wished that I could sit down so I could relax all my nerves. I was afraid I would fall on the glossy black and white tiled floor and get really humiliated.

I looked up at the CCTV which was directed at me then shifted my attention back to the man standing in front of me. The left scar on his face became more evident this morning, or maybe he just aged since the last time I saw him.

"What is your intention for my daughter?" Ares Niarchos' voice was cold and exact as he continued to assess me with calculating eyes.

His question made me space out. It constricted all my bodily organs and sweat started to form behind my neck.

It took me about ten seconds to answer. I was not prepared on this confrontation. I was still so dazed that I barely slept last night. After the dinner party, Athena and I were almost inseparable. We were both overwhelmed on our love for each other, could not stop talking, touching and kissing. The feeling was so wonderful and the happiness was immeasurable. It was like floating in the clouds with only me and her in the universe. And now, confronting her father with reproachful eyes was like falling straight down to the manhole.

"I love your daughter so much, Mr. Niarchos." Was all I could say. Every single neuron of my brain froze in an instant.

I had never been terrified of anyone, but at that moment, I was of Ares Niarchos. Not because he was known as a very strict person, authoritative and had a respectable name in the business industry, but because... he was Athena's father. I was afraid to make a mistake in front of him that could ruin whatever I had with Athena.

From my great grandfather Enrique Monteiro and now my brother Daniel, they tainted our family's reputation being playboys. Ares Niarchos would think that I was the same, and that really concerned me.

"My daughter is very precious to me. I would murder anyone who would hurt her."

That made me swallow the imaginary lump in my throat. Fat sweat on my forehead ran down on my temple.

"I swear I would do the same... sir."

"You're not like your brother, right?"

Damn Daniel!

"No... no. Absolutely not." I shook my head vigorously and raised my right hand like in an oath. "My intention is very honourable sir. I love Athena... and I admire her so much. She's the kindest, caring, very humble and beautiful woman that I know. She has a very generous heart..."

Mr. Niarchos chuckled, and that made me relax a little. "Are you sure you're talking about my daughter?"

"Of course. Athena is a wonderful woman."

"She's a spoiled brat sometimes and will surely give you a headache from time to time. She could be very uncontrollable."

"I'm very ready sir. Definitely I can handle that."

I was surprised when Mr. Niarchos tapped my shoulder. His expression softened as he said. "Thank you, Carter. Please take care of her and make her happy."

I heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at him. "I will sir. I promise."

I was scheduled to go back to California and Athena agreed to come with me. I understood Mr. Niarchos' concern that he wanted the best for his daughter. I just had to reassure him that he had nothing to worry about. I would take care of her the same way he'd took care of her and even more.

He was right. The moment Athena and I were alone together she was uncontrollable. She was acting like a spoiled brat and my brain was about to explode in a sudden headache.

"I hate you Carter! You started this and you don't want to finish?" Athena glared at me angrily. Oh God, this hating game again.

"I sorry baby, I know I shouldn't have started it. I love you and I have... high respect on you." I said, looming over her on the bed.

"Respect? I don't need your respect at this moment!"

I understood her frustration. It was my fault I got carried away. The moment we arrived in the plane, I dragged her inside my cabin and kissed her senselessly. I was in the middle of making love to her, seducing her to the limit but stopped when I heard the pilot's voice in the intercom. Suddenly I remembered my promise to her father.

"We'll do it the right way. I want our first time making love together to be very special... something that you would remember for the rest of your life. Not in the plane when it's about to take off any minute now. Haven't you heard the pilot's warning?" My eyes held hers longingly. She was a temptation with her messy hair and plumped lips.

"No." She rolled her eyes then pulled the collar of my shirt, drawing me towards her. My brain skyrocketed when she brushed her lips against mine as she whispered seductively. "I could not imagine a more special place than this."

"Oh God, Athena." I muttered as I captured her soft lips with mine, kissing her gently and passionately.

I was in a state of delirium, panting and moaning when I felt the plane moved on the runway. Carter and I were totally naked on bed, sweating despite the heavy air conditioning.

Contrary to his being conservative and raised in a Catholic school-- he was utterly a caveman on bed! He ripped my panties and ravished me with his demanding kisses and possessive hands. I could not count how many times I gasped when his mouth and hand touched my newly discovered pleasure points, hungrily in search of my body.

"Carter..." I moaned and bit my lower lip to prevent myself from screaming. His lips were kissing my breast deliciously, and his masterful tongue licking my swollen nipple. The feeling was so euphoric especially when his hand touched the core of my femininity, caressing the small bead in slow rhythmic movement until my inner self exploded.

"Come here." He pulled me up and made me straddle on him as he sat on a padded leather chair. "Let's make our first time very memorable." He chuckled.

The plane was moving very fast now on the runway for take off while Carter buckled the seat belt around us. I did not feel when the plane took off, my mind was so engrossed with Carter. His wonderful male smell, his delightful touch and kisses... and when he drove inside me faster and harder... I was totally lost. We both soared to an awesome, shuddering ecstasy.

It was crazy. Being so in love, we were inseparable and it was so hard to keep our hands off each other. We made love spontaneously any time of the day. Several times inside his office where I laid down on his table while he did his wicked naughty and dirty ways on me.

On our fifth day in California, we had a very romantic candlelight dinner in the beach. After we had our dessert, I heard him talking to someone on the phone. "You're right, she's very uncontrollable."

He paused, listening to the person at the end of the line while looking at me. He suddenly laughed and said. "I have a solution. I'll marry her."

I was so shocked. I realized that Carter was talking to my father. Hot tears ran down on my cheeks the moment Carter hung up the phone. With bended knee and showing me the most beautiful ring that I've ever seen, he proposed.

"I expressed my love for you wrongly before. I pretended to hate you when all my heart screamed was you. Love is not a game to play and I'm sorry for the hating game, and I'm so sorry for being such a coward... hiding my feelings for you. Please forgive me and give me a chance to show you my sincerest love and admiration for you. I love you so much Athena... will you marry me?"

"Yes...but Carter, isn't it too soon?"

He stood up and pulled me in his arms.

"Too soon? Baby, I've been waiting for too long already."

"Oh Carter... I love you so much. Yes! I would love to be your wife."

He made me the happiest woman in the whole universe. The following day was crazier, we got married in Las Vegas.

After nine months, our baby girl named Ellen was born, and followed by Tyrone John (TJ) a year later.

Her dad was a playboy with a string of mistresses who left her mom when she was five. Her bestfriend got jilted by her playboy boyfriend after he was busted hooking up with different girls. Her favorite celebrity couple broke up due to the same reason... and she herself experienced being cheated by her first love.

She lost her trust on men. She thought they're all the same, polygamous by nature. They could not stick to one woman. She would rather be an old maid and live with a cat than bear the burden of having a playboy husband.

But it only took one night and a few shots of tequila to change her opinion of men. She was dazzled, swirled in euphoric ecstasy and swept off her feet like that in a fairytale movie. She met a guy she thought was very different from all the other men. A real life prince charming!

Too bad, the man was Daniel Monteiro. The biggest player in the planet who doesn't hook up with a girl twice.

Like a mouse trap, Kate falls for the playboy's game.
