Eros’ POV
I was still getting over Athena’s harsh words to her children when Ajax came in. I can tolerate Athena’s haughty words and Echo’s annoying ones but I can’t just tolerate Ajax’s clownish ones. They pricked me like thorns.“My beautiful family,”Christ.. it’s the family clown again. Looking at my phone was better than staring at my clown of a brother.He circled the table obnoxiously. “Whoa... Icarus and... Miranda? Jeez. This family couldn’t be any more weird,”I rolled my eyes at his lame attempt to crack a joke. How pathetic can he be? The only thing I worried about was how Dalia would cope in this meeting. I have managed to lay down rules for her own protection but it seems she has a mind of her own.Her Dad preferred to sleep while Dalia watched with confused eyes.She will get used to it.I raised my head to meet Ajax staring at me. Mischievousness twinkled in his eyes. It told me he was about to do something I wouldn’t like.More liBab terkait

“You are all talk.” I chose to say instead. He is really getting on my nerves by making empty talks. With the corner of my eyes, I see Dalia looking at Ajax and me with fear in her eyes.Oh dear Dalia.. this is how we are when we aren’t in public or in the presence of our parents. We are fucked up and whose fault is that?“Where is Jason?” Icarus’ booming voice interrupted. It had an edge to it. It was obvious he was trying to distract us. This is why I dislike Icarus sometimes. He was too nonchalant for my liking. The elderly ones were not elderly at all.Athena and Icarus couldn’t come in between Ajax and I. Yet I took Icarus' question as an opportunity to retreat.I just have to warn Ajax. “You won’t disrespect my woman in my presence, don’t do that again.”But Ajax wasn’t ready to back down yet. He banged both hands on the table causing everyone to glare at him in annoyance. Mr. Thompson didn’t even flinch.“I’ll do however I want! You son of a bitch! You

Eros' POVFather cleared his throat and I knew he was about to add something to the things she said. “They came for tea.”They expected us to share in their joy, I guess. But with what had happened? I don’t think that was possible. We always did things like this behind their backs so if anyone told them about our uncultured behaviour, they would never believe it.Just like they didn’t believe Hera then.My sister, Echo clapped her hands obnoxiously. She was trying so hard, so hard to please mother and father. If mother can’t see in between her smiles, then they will never understand us. “Mother! I am so proud of you. It isn’t everyday we get to host important people.”“I am joyous, mother,” Athena raised her head up. It was rare to see Athena smile, so the smile she gave now was more like a grimace.Suddenly, the triplets chose that reason to speak. And they did so at the same time! It gave me goosebumps as I can never get used to it.“Splendid news grand

Dalia’s POVI woke up with a start. The room felt strange... It was unwelcoming and spacious. I could fit about thirty people dancing acrobats and there would still be space for other activities.I felt like a princess in a lonely castle.Turning to the side, I caught a glimpse of a man by the window. He was shirtless and seemed to be in deep thoughts. After much subtle quarrelling and ordering, we were asked to have a good night sleep.I didn’t know when I slept. Wait a minute...Dada and I were having a serious conversation when I dozed off... I can’t remember the next thing that happened.I gasped, jumping right off the bed.“Who are you?!” I yelled, looking at my surroundings again.He turned and embarrassment filled me at the sight of Eros. “Oh, It’s you,” heat filled my cheeks at the full display of his abs. He was perfectly adorned with muscles. He earned his name.. Eros.“Relax, we are at my parents house. There are no monsters here.” He t

I sighed in frustration. I don’t know my problem but I didn’t want to tell him that I feel so alone beside him. The moment he shows me warmth, the next moment becomes cold. His kind gestures and sweet talks soon disappeared as soon as they came.Whenever he defended me, I was forced to think he liked me. Then his next words told me he was just tolerating me.I am tired of the constant back and forth of care. But I can’t let him know I am this desperate for his love. “Yes! Because how else are we going to tell the world that what we have going on is real?!”Dang it Dalia.. you just had to use that as an excuse and to your own advantage. I don’t care about the public. I was never the technology type. It was Emily who made sure I was current.Who knows what people are saying about my engagement to Eros. Instagram would go wild. Emily is yet to tell me what she has seen since I don’t have an Instagram account.Hell, I am not on social media. I am just plain, old and

“What are your names?” I asked the boy who looked friendlier than his sister.“Frederick West. My sister’s Freda.” The boy completed it with a crooked smile. His gums were void of teeth.I nodded glancing at the little girl. She was eyeing the bowls of ice cream her cousins savoured instead of minding her. I gave her a little smile. “Freda? Do you want a bowl of ice cream? Should I get one for you?”She nods furiously and Fredrick smiles sadly. “She never gets one at home. Only on special days. But they have it here all the time! Grandpa and grandma are cool!”“Yes, they sure are.” I sighed at his innocence. He probably didn’t hear what was said at the meeting because of the earphones and several toilet breaks.Some point into dinner, harsh questions were directed at their father. From that little, I learnt that he abandoned the family to leave somewhere off the grid.It didn’t sit well with Hector and Gaia. He must be the least well to do in the family. I do

“I’ll go next. I want you to convince my mom that I don’t want to go to school. I want to be like Uncle Jason.” One of the triplets spoke and I frowned.The remaining two shrugged at their brother’s request. “I don’t have anything to say.” The quiet one muttered.“I don’t want to follow you. Mom will skin me alive.” The last one shook his head.I chuckled. Yeah... She might but I might be able to use this opportunity to ask them questions. The triplets were my main focus but the rest can tag along. I can advise them to be better. “Three bucks and an autograph from Emily Newton.” His type would want something to keep forever. What teenager will reject an autograph from Emily?His eyes widened in shock then it disappeared. It made me wonder if they aren’t given allowances at all.“An autograph and a picture. I’ll give you five minutes of my time.” Hm, he was the smart one. The quiet one is yet to show me what he is made of. The question is how I am going to convinc

Dalia’s POV.“Emily come on.. do this for me,” I whined in frustration. Why isn’t she grabbing this opportunity to take a picture with the West grand kids?“Dalia no. I don’t do kids remember? I am only making an exception of yours.” She snapped.I giggled, recalling when she made a fuss to be called Aunty Em. Then I’ll need to persuade her more. “Look, I am not talking about any other. Want to know about them? They rule the teens world. You can actually use him.”There was a pregnant pause. “What do I stand to gain? And how did you even come to this agreement?”I yawned loudly. Yeah, my night wasn’t well spent. “It’s a long story. I came out for ice cream and six kids followed me. At least I have a little knowledge about the family. Now I can defend myself better. I think they are just victims of emotional abuse. Especially Eros.”“If he doesn’t tell you anything, don’t act like you know.” Emily warned gently. I could hear worry in her voice. “Playing the pa

“Good morning,” she gave me a peck, taking the seat beside me.The side she kissed tingled and burned. What? Is this her part? What should I do? I am not one to show public affection... we should have talked about this.My siblings watched me like I was their target. They were all waiting to see my reaction. I must do what she did.So I waited until she sat down and gave her a full kiss on the lips. I tasted pineapple and mint. She must have brushed and taken breakfast.It revealed why she is late. But my parents didn’t even complain. They just stared at our display of affection with weary eyes. They should have complained of how she came in before them. I don’t like it.“What’s going on with you guys?” I asked before I could stop myself.“Eros, don’t.” Athena’s harsh voice filled the room. Her children must be fast asleep just like the rest of the children.“I just want to know..”“Can’t this family be happy?!” Hera screamed, shocking my parents. “I
