Fires Within Fires CHAPTER 23
SEPH'S POVThe rain will not be stopping anytime soon. The weather has worsened. It was not drizzling anymore. It’s like a raging storm.Beside me, Ayla laid cuddled up. The room light as always was on because I started hating the dark since that God awful night. Ayla seemed in a talking mood. She had already slept in the evening and now was busy doing her favourite thing. Asking questions. I helped her in the bath and realized that her blonde roots glistened from beneath the brown ones that I had coloured. I have to look for hair colour. Suddenly Ayla asked a question which just dragged me to the whirlpool of memories. Memories of my Homeland. "Mama is Athens beautiful?" She asked innocently. "The most beautiful place you would have ever seen," I remarked. The history and art of Athens are divine. It’s a perfect place for one who has a great interest in knowing the ancient culture."I want to see it too," she said."Maybe one day my dear" I kissed her head. I wanted her to know a

JACE POVI raised my right eyebrow in a questioning answer. Does he even know who I am? I sensed Castor's body stiffen beside me. “Although we do not deal in adult organs, his will work”. He said pointing his thumb towards me.I really belie that What we do today projects the road of our future and right now this man is just calling for a very painful slow death. Even if I die here my family will kill him. Every man associated with him will regret the day he was born.We not only have wealth but the right connections too. This is why I am so……Demi and her father sat like a statue. It seemed that they weren’t even breathing.Suddenly some words came from my side impressing me. “Not him, you can take me,” Castor said to Boss. There was no line of hesitation on his face. I sensed loyalty.The man looked at him and then at me. “Is this the start of the game where bot

Hades’ Pov So, this was it. My wait is over. She is here and no one has the strength to take her from me. I picked up her unconscious body. Her hair is matted to her face because of tears. She cried for mercy but I have none for her. She bought it upon herself. I don’t know how long I will keep her. Maybe…. till her charms wear off from my heart. But right now, the only thing I could think of is how to devour her body. I carried her outside. Carlos still held the crying girl. She started crying more when she saw the unconscious form of Seph. “Mama. What happened? mama” “Afentikó what should we do with her?” Carlos asked. The girl kept wriggling in his hold. It felt as if she was going to be sick from crying. Seph had told me she had no parents. This is not even the girl’s country. I’ll put her in an orphanage when we arrive in Greece. “Bring her” I put Seph in the car and buckled her. When Carlos put the girl down to set her in another car, she took the chance and the girl ran

SEPH’s POV:The moment he had taken off his coat and rolled his sleeves I had known what was about to happen.He whipped me.He had repeated the words that “ólo aftó ftais esý”. Isn’t it always? Even if I did all this just to save myself it is still my fault. (This is all your fault)What did I do to deserve beaten up like this and left broken? The only fault of mine was to cast eyes at the wrong man. God knows how much I had regretted that single glance that paved the path for my destruction.Even if he tears apart my flesh piece and piece, even if he drains all blood from my body and even if he kills me, I will never regret running away that night. I had to save myself from becoming a puppet wife.So now even if I lay broken here with blood oozing out from my wounds and him shouting that I bought it upon myself I will not agree. Yes, I bought it upon myself but not the way he thinks. I bought it upon myself by admiring him that night.I used to read in books that there are some sins

Hades POV: There was no need to ask him who was injured. His fear was saying it all. “Mama” a small voice falls on my ears. “Afentikó……” the man wanted to maybe brief me about the situation but I didn’t wait for it. (boss) I hurried past him towards the stairs. It’s not been more than a day or two and she has already succeeded in hurting herself. Does she think that she can escape me this way? Death is a good possible way out? I have never taken her to be a suicidal type. She was scared of me but never had she said that she will kill herself. I thought that she was smart but now it doesn’t seem like that. I climbed the stairs at went into the room which I had left locked. It stayed open now with just an aura of silence lingering in the air. There she lay on the large queen size bed motionless and with a towel at her head. Lara sat on the bed applying pressure. When she saw me, she instantly got up and moved a few paces back. Her already frail frame looked more fragile. Her fac

Ayla’s POVThe big man who was standing behind the devil took my hand and lead me to a room. This room was also very very large and beautiful. This whole place is so big. I have never seen such things. At last, he picked me up and sat me on the bed. It is so high and soft. I have to jump if I want to get down from it.Where did the devil go? He was going to do a deal with me. He is a liar. He said he would tell me about my mama.The big man was going to leave me alone so I asked “where did the devil go?” I asked. He did not answer and closed the door. I am alone again. I am missing her. She loves me. She never leaves me alone so why is she not coming? Did she get hurt? I will kiss her and then everything will be okay.She will be in the house. I should search for her. I looked down. My legs are short how can I get down? I want to sleep because I am sleepy. My stomach made a noise. I am hungry too. I want my mama. I used my sleeve to erase my tears.I am very sad. But why am I crying?

Seph’s POV:After hades let Ayla meet me the maid provided fresh clothes. The welt marks have now faded to white lines on my back. The stitches on my head were just covered with a small bandage that kept the stitches out of sight. I was expecting them to be blue but somehow, they have healed. It must be the maid. She must have put ointment on my back again and again.Now Ayla was sitting on my lap sleeping, snoring softly, oblivious to the happenings of the world. We were in the lavishly decorated living room. Hades stood in the corner discussing something with his men.Occasionally his eyes would fall on my face and then his attention would be back to whatever he was discussing. The maid had handed me a stripped culotte jumpsuit which was backless and left my arms bare. The neckline was a little down for my liking which made me feel exposed. I felt like a slut and a mistress.Unlike me, Ayla wore a pink and white chiffon floral dress that came down her knees. It was shoulderless. She

Sousanna’s Pov:“So, what is it now? Why are you rotting like a prisoner here Anne? You eat no more and sleep no more. What are you mourning” I admonished her on her behavior. Is this the way the way a woman of Decardo family should behave.With her actions like this she is disgracing her. As if she hasn’t enough.Roxanne lay on the bed perched like a broken woman. She could easily be taken as an old woman in the darkness of the room. Life had left her. She was paper thin. Her brown hair sulked on the pristine sheets. In her black gown, she seemed like a fallen princess. Beauty and youth fade into nothingness with each turn of the night. White chain glistened at her bare neck.“I have a lot of things to mourn for mama”. Roxanne’s raspy voice told long unheard tales of consumed liquor.I took a seat beside her daughter on the bed. “When will this sorrow end?” I swiped my hand over Roxanne’s forehead in an affectionate manner.“Never mama never.” She took a deep breath. “For there is no
