  Athena smiled, &quot;Sean, most of us have done things we are not proud of, but that doesn t make us evil, I believe whatever it is you did, you did it for a reason.&quot;
  He nodded with a smile, not looking up at her, &quot;yes, for a reason.&quot;
  &quot;Well, you have my promise that I won t judge.&quot;
  He chuckled, looking up at her then, his hazel eyes shining brightly with the lights surrounding them, &quot;I can feel that you won t.&quot;
  &quot;See, even your heart believes in me.&quot;
  He laughed softly then and closed his eyes, he sighed, &quot;I wasn t burn rich.&quot;
  &quot;I know that already.&quot;
  He nodded, &quot;I have a traumatic past. You see, my family was the perfect one when I was growing up. But then, my dad lost his job when I turned six and everything changed, he began drinking, wasting all his savings in gambling and alcohol. My mom would often tr

  &quot;What the heck, is this guy stupid?&quot; She muttered to Leo who said nothing and glanced at Sean, he knew about Sean s proposal tonight but what he couldn t understand was why he would just stand there and do nothing. He glanced at Athena, silently reminding her in his heart about their deal and that he would not hesitate to carry it out and he would make sure that she and Frank lived in wretchedness.
