Chapter 97: The Gala

"Mom, you look great!" Kate and Nathaniel exclaimed in unison as Athena stepped into the living room. Beside them, Kendra echoed the same compliment, beaming from ear to ear.

Athena felt their excitement wash over her like a warm breeze—it was the kind of moment that could lighten even the heaviest of hearts.

Dressed in a stunning silver gown that clung to her curves like a work of art, Athena felt a glow of confidence radiate from her very being. The gown hugged her shape perfectly, accentuating her waist and gracefully flaring out at the bottom.

The back of the dress was elegantly designed, emphasizing the smooth lines of her back while leaving just enough to the imagination. A daring slit ran up to her thigh, adding a touch of boldness without compromising her grace.

The neckline dipped just enough to show a hint of cleavage, striking the perfect balance between elegance and allure. With a sparkle of silver sequins twinkling with every movement, Athena looked like she had stepped out of a fairy tale.

Areso had done a good job.

She couldn’t help but smile as she walked towards her children. Leaning down, she kissed each of them on the forehead, breathing in their youthful energy. "Thank you, sweethearts!"

Just then, Gianna joined her in the sitting room, and the moment was charged with a sense of glamour that felt almost palpable.

Gianna was wearing a breathtaking blue gown that shimmered like the ocean under the moonlight. The gown hugged her figure in all the right places, the soft fabric falling gracefully to the floor, creating the illusion of waves cascading around her.

The deep blue color complemented Gianna’s warm complexion perfectly, while delicate embellishments sparkled at her waist, drawing attention to its silhouette.

"Wow, Gianna, you look absolutely stunning!" Athena remarked, trailing her eyes all over her friend.

"And you, my dear, are a vision in silver!" Gianna grinned, both of them admiring each other’s beauty.

As they examined their outfits, the twins and Kendra played around, their giggles echoing through the spacious room.

"Okay, you three, let’s tone it down a bit before we leave," Athena admonished playfully. "Tonight is special, and we need you to be on your best behavior."

"Promise, Mom!" They chimed, their eyes wide and earnest.
