Athena had spent the past few days quietly lounging around the mansion. Her routine consisted of eating, watching TV shows, and occasionally strolling through the garden.
The housekeeper was practically glued to her side, reporting her every move to Marlon.
Marlon had intended to return within a couple of days, but the situation he was dealing with had gotten complicated. The person who had narrowly escaped with their life years ago had resurfaced, turning into a ticking time bomb he couldn't afford to leave unchecked. The information about this person kept bouncing from the East Coast to the West Coast, making it impossible for Marlon to pin them down.
If it weren’t for the fact that this information was dug up by his team of expert hackers, he might have thought he was being played. How could one person be crossing such distances in such a short time?
It was painfully clear that someone was trying to keep him away from Greenfield.
Marlon had acquired quite a few enemies over the years, and he was at a loss trying to figure out who was behind this.
His frustration was mounting, but somehow, the updates about Athena from the housekeeper offered him moments of calm.
That evening, Athena called him, her voice tinged with complaint.
“When are you coming back? I’m so bored. Can’t you send someone to take me out for a little fun?”
She'd been cooped up in the mansion waiting for him to return for days now.
Marlon rubbed his temples. He had intended to be back in just a day, but now several had passed. He couldn’t really expect her to wait around forever.
Athena hesitantly asked, “Did I not have a job before? Am I just living off you?”
Her uncertainty was palpable. She hadn’t heard from anyone, no bosses calling to check in. If she had a job, surely someone would have reached out by now.
Marlon sighed. He considered sending the housekeeper to take her out, but he worried about her running into Tyler.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
