Athena wakes up and find herself in a beautiful, huge room. She looks around it totally confused when suddenly her eyes falls on a bedside photo and few other photos that are hanging on the wall. There is a girl who looks exactly like her. She must be Ariana! Whereas Athena is hopeless looking, Ariana is full of life.

Suddenly the door opens and Luciano enters.

"Oh Gracias God that you are up." He says with a relieved sigh.

"How are you feeling?" He asks. But Athena just stares at him. Luciano doesn't seem to mind her silence. He just moves forward and touches her forehead to check her temperature.

"Glad that you are not burning up now. We were so worried."

"Ariana! Why don't you go fresh up or something. Dinner is almost ready." He tells her with a gentle smile on his face. Athena has noticed that he tends to smile more than his brothers. He leaves the room in silence after pressing a small kiss on her forehead.

Athena gets up from the bed and moves towards the bathroom. Her eyes hurt a little as she stares at the huge bathroom that screams godly richness. Nevertheless she strips out of her dirty clothes. She frowns staring at her reflection in the mirror.

Her ribs are sticking out of her flesh. She looks horribly thin and small. Almost breakable like a glass. Her hair is a mess and there are black circles around her eyes. Her cheekbones are a bit too much prominent on her face. She manages to rip the bandage off her head. Her head is still hurting but it is bearable. There is a nasty bruise but it has slowly starting to fade away.

After a little struggle she managed to turn on the weird looking taps. She carefully enters in the bathtub and washes her body thoroughly with the use of beautiful scent products.

She wraps a fluffy pink towel around herself and slowly gets out of the bathroom. She moves closer to the third door in the room and opened it to reveal a walk-in-closet. It was filled with many clothes and other girlish things. She grabs the first thing her eyes falls on. It is a ankle length black skirt and full sleeved white satin shirt to go on. She tucks the shirt in the skirt and looks in the mirror with wide eyes.

The fabric of the clothes feels nice on her skin. She looks a lot different and maybe a little pretty.

Searching through the footwear section, her head spin a little after seeing variety of heels and shoes. Mostly there are heels and few pairs of sneakers. After a little hesitation, she put on the simple black flats.

She brushes her wet hair a little and then leave it down for air dry. She jumps a little as a knock sounds on the door. The door opens revealing Romeo this time.

"Dinner is ready." He informs her. Athena nods her head and follows him out.

"Ariana! How are you feeling?" He slows down so she could catch up with him. They both walk together. Athena shrugs her shoulders a little. After a little walking, they finally reach the grand dining room. Vincenzo and others are already present there waiting for both of them.

Romeo sits down but Athena remain standing looking down at the floor like a lost puppy. Vittorio looks at her with interest and stands up to face her. Athena flinches a little as he extend his hand up to touch her face.

"She isn't wearing any make up. Are you all sure that she is Ariana?" Vittorio jokes a little. Athena feels like her color completely drained from her face. She clenches her muscles to control her fearful tremble.

"You are Ariana right? Because the last time I remember you screamed almost ready to shoot everyone who ever saw your cakeless face!" Alexander was the only one who chuckled at this.

"Shut up both of you!" Luciano sighs out. He looks at Athena.

"Ariana! C'mon sweetheart! Take a seat." She nods her head and goes to sit down on the ground but Vittorio grabs her hand.

"What do you think you are doing?" This catches Vincenzo and others attention. He looks up from his phone and at them.

"I asked you something Ariana! What do you think you were just going to do? Don't just stare at me. Answer me!" Vittorio says sternly. Athena flinches in fear. Tears already gathers in her eyes.

"S-s-sitting d-down." She whispers softly. He grabs her face in his hands.

"Did you sit on the floor to eat?" He asks, staring deeply in her eyes. Athena just nods her head a little. That's what she was used to do at her foster parents home. They sat on the chairs and her on the dirty floor eating the leftover and scarpes from their plates.

She is scared of Vittorio. He can easily hurt her. She doesn't want to end up getting starved one more night.

"FUCK!" Romeo curses and kicks the chair back aggressively. Without next word, he storms out of the room. Athena is trembling in fear right now.

"Ariana! Come and sit here. You sitting on the floor and us on the chairs, this is not fair! No one deserves to be treated like this. You are equal to us and everyone in this world. Never forget it..." Vincenzo says and gestures at the chairs.

The brothers observes her confuse expression. She always has that lost puppy look on her face that makes them think that she first belongs to a different world. But they don't know how true their thoughts actually are. Athena's whole life was trapped in the four walls of her foster parents house. That was her true world.

*******************

Athena is peacefully sleeping on Ariana's bed. It is so comfortable and fluffy that it almost feel like she is laying on clouds. But her eyes snaps open as the covers are jerked away from her.

"C'mon Ariana! Get up. I don't have time for this." Alexander is towering over her. She immediately sits up confused. He stares at her weirdly.

"You seriously are up at my first wake-up call." He asks her. Athena looks at the small bucket of ice cold water. There are still ice cubes floating over it. So it must be his second wake-up call.

Athena flinches lightly as he snaps his fingers in front of her face.

"Get ready-" He shoves a casual crop gray gym suit at her face and sets the pair of gym shoes down on the floor.

"-Fast." He says while moving out of the door. Athena totally confused gets up and heads straight to the bathroom to wash her face and brushes her teeth. It is only 4'O clock in the morning.

She changes into the gym suit and frowns looking down at the revealing section of her stomach. She just ties her hair into a messy bun on top of her head. Then she slips on her shoes and makes her way out of the room.

She looks at Alexander who is standing outside her room waiting for her.

"You have gotten slow as ant, Ariana!" He says and casually looks down at her. His brows furrowed as he stared at her stomach and then he looks at her face.

"I need to talk to Vincenzo! Wait for me in the gym. I will be there." He says and leaves her standing there with the same usual lost puppy look on her face.

"Vincenzo!" He knocks on the door of his brother's office. After entering in, he finds him in the middle of some meeting. Vincenzo dismisses the men and tell them to wait outside.

"What happened?" Vincenzo asks.

"Are you sure that you want her to train for next three hours?" Alexander raises his brow.

"Is there some problem?"

"No! There are actually problems and problems. She won't be able to survive these hours. Her ribs are literally sticking out. She looks extremely weak and thinner. Awfully skinny! I bet if I accidentally hit her a little bit much, it will take her months to recover." Alexander informs him.

"I will take her to our team of personal doctors for a check up. Right now go easy on her. Try to find her potential of how much her limits can be pushed." Alexander nods his head and steps out of his office.

He passes Ariana's room and rolls his eyes a little after seeing her standing fixed rooted at the same place where he left her. She is looking down at the floor and playing with her fingers.

"Ariana! What did I told you?" Alexander asks her calmly and tries to control his anger in. Seeing no response, he resisted the urge to yell at her. Luciano's words rings in his mind. She is already traumatized. She is fragile like a glass and needs to be treated with care.

"Follow me." He says and heads in the direction of elevators. They reaches the ground floor that is a gym section.

"Ok let's start with a little warm up. Do 30 push up's quick."
