The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Days before the Acquaintance Party, Marcus's friends, and Jade's friends noticed that Marcus and Sophia were becoming closer to each other. They were always together. 

Marcus always dropped her at her home. During break time, Marcus was accompanying Sophia, eating their snacks together.

Marcus also started hanging out with Sophia and Zhen-Zhen in their favorite spot. It seemed that Marcus succeeded in gaining the trust of Sophia and Zhen-Zhen. 

They didn't suspect him, thinking that Marcus was genuine in making friends with Sophia and in getting to know her more. They didn't think that Marcus had any ill-intent for becoming closer to Sophia.

Even the whole campus learned the news about Marcus getting close and hanging out with Sophia. Seeing Sophia's transformation, they couldn't help but speculate that there's something going on between Marcus and her.

They became the talk of the campus for the past few days. Even the news of Marcus asking Sophia to be his date on the upcoming Acquaintance Party spread on the campus like wildfire.

Athena, Marcus's ultimate crush, also heard the news so she decided to confront Jade. The two of them were close friends. 

Athena remembered Jade mentioning her brother having a crush on her but now, she couldn't believe that Marcus was being linked with another girl.

Athena tried to ignore Marcus before just to play hard to get. But deep inside, she was also attracted to him. Who wouldn't be? 

After all, Marcus was the campus's heartthrob. The two of them would match each other, the Campus's Heartthrob and Campus's Belle.

After class, Jade invited Athena to their house. They would have girl's bonding and at the same time, talk about Marcus. Jade's and Marcus's parents were not around since both of them went out-of-town for their business trip.

Athena was ahead of one year. She's already a fourth-year student while Jade was a third-year student. 

But they were very close like sisters. Athena was the one who guided and helped Jade during her freshman year.

They also joined the same School Club, that's why their relationship improved a lot for the past few years.

 Athena was undeniably a very beautiful lady that every man on the Campus would have a crush on her. She's also a head-turner beauty just like Jade. 

When the two ladies arrived at home, Marcus was not yet around. As usual, he went to drop Sophia at her home today.

"Make yourself at home, Sis. I will just change my clothes," Jade said, before leaving Athena in the living room. She made sure to ask their maid to prepare snacks for her visitor.

Athena sat on the soft couch, waiting for Jade to come back. It did not take long when Jade joined her. 

They talked some stuff about school and Athena's plans after graduation. They had a little bit of catching up before Athena brought up the topic about Marcus.

"Sis, where's your brother? Is he not home yet?" Athena asked Jade curiously, her eyes peered at the house hoping to see Marcus.

"Oh, my brother. I don't know. Maybe he is still hanging out with his friends, Lester and John. He will be here soon," Jade answered her. 

Though she had a feeling that Marcus was with Sophia, she decided not to mention it to Athena.

"Ahem, can I ask you something about your brother?"

Jade smiled faintly at Athena. "Sure, Sis. You can ask me anything."

"Hmm, Is it true that he is courting your classmate named Sophia? Are they exclusively dating now? I heard Marcus asked that girl to be his date this coming Acquaintance Party."

Jade let out a soft giggle after hearing Athena's query.

"Hmm, are you jealous, Sis?" Jade said, teasing Athena.

"Eh? Why would I be jealous? I am just curious. Besides, I'm not Marcus's girlfriend so I don't have the right to be jealous," Athena blatantly denied it. But Jade knew how she felt at this moment.

Jade's giggle bubbled up again in the entire living room. Athena knew that Jade didn't believe her. Her cheeks became flush from embarrassment. Jade kept on teasing her.

"Sis, do you trust me?" Jade asked Athena out of the blue.

"Yes, of course, Why did you ask me?" Athena said, the confusion resurfacing in her eyes.

"Because I want you to listen and believe in me. My brother has a reason for doing this and why he is trying to get closer to my classmate. I ask him to do so." Jade explained to Athena.

But believe me, you are still the woman my brother truly likes. He is head over heels for you that's why he is willing to do anything I say to him," she added, reassuring her friend.

Athena could only smile shyly. Her cheeks were red from blushing.

"Oh, wanna test him? I will give you private time with my brother once he arrives. See it for yourself. He won't be able to resist your charm. You can also ask him. I am confident that he won't lie to you," Jade suggested while winking at Athena.

After fifteen minutes of waiting, Marcus finally arrived home. He was surprised to see Athena and Jade, bonding together in the living room. Jade immediately called him. Marcus walked over to greet the two ladies.

He left them for a moment to change his clothes. Jade gave Athena her cue. 

The moment Marcus came back, she left the two of them in the living room thus giving them privacy.

"Hey, how are you?" Marcus sat down beside Athena.

"I'm fine. How about you?" Athena asked him back.

Marcus was surprised that Athena was not a snob today. She even smiled at him sweetly, talking to him cheerfully, unlike before. She suddenly became friendly and approachable.

They continued talking with each other when Athena thought of a way how she would test Marcus. She wanted to confirm if Jade was right.

Is Marcus still in love with her?

After contemplating for a moment, Athena made her move. She intentionally spilled her drinks on her school uniform, soaking the upper side of her blouse.

"Oh my gosh?!" She gasped, catching Marcus's attention.
