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

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

Hades POV“How the fuck did this all happen?” I barked at my men. After the incident, we quickly made our way to the airport. There was so much danger in staying there.“Afentiko the security team was found with their neck slashed. It seems that our security was compromised from the start. They sent the text from the security headphone and asked for the change in route” Carlos replied.“Find them as soon as possible Carlos or you won’t like the circumstances,” I ordered and dismissed him. I couldn’t contain the fury. Fuck! If something would have happened to Seph I would have killed everyone on the fucking planet.Carlos did not leave instead he took out a USB from his pocket. “We have checked it for any threatening material afentiko. There is only one audio file in it.”“Play it” While he was starting the laptop, he informed us that they had found it along the dead bodies of the security team. It was attached to the forehead of the driver with a ribbon.So it was someone’s twisted id

In about thirty minutes the plane will land. I can already see my alluring Greece from up here. It gives me the feeling of coming home.Seph hasn’t opened her bewitching eyes yet. Her hazel eyes mixed with brown in the iris pattern have never lost their charm to me. Although I enjoy seeing her in a state where she has no power over her body still her feisty nature is something I relish too. The doctor has checked her again. According to him, she won’t be opening her eyes anytime soon.I asked him to administer a sedative to her. I cannot have her create a scene while we get off the plane.

Hades POVAt the mansionFlora came running towards me when I entered the mansion. My light in the darkness. My beautiful spring. I kissed her head.“Me ékanes tóso charoúmeni me tin epistrofí sou” she said. Her eyes glimmered with happiness; no sign of the previous worry evident. (You have made me so happy by coming back)“Boró na káno ta pánta gia séna flóra. To xéreis aftó.” I replied looking in her eye making sure that she understands that this is a promise I can never break. (I can do anything for you flora. You know this.)“Mom was waiting for you too” She stepped to the side and revealed my stepmother. I have no reason to hate her. She has never been the typical stepmother. But she is not my real mother hence the use of the first name on my part. She remains clad in black, a symbol of mourning.When she moved a step further, I took a hold of her arms gently. She kissed my cheek. A ceasefire. A submission to the power I now owned. A step into loyalty. “Hades, it’s good to have

Non-Stop.A sigh escaped my lips.I have to ask someone for notes. I hate asking for notes.Finally, the bell rang indicating that the lecture is finally over.I stretched my limbs and looked out of the window. Winter will be here soon. There is something so nostalgic about it. Something that makes up remember and makes you sad. My father once played with me in the snow. It was…….“Did you bring any food?” Stavros’s question startled me. I would have fallen if not for my strong reflex.“Oh Gosh! I was going to fall” I glared at him with accusing eyes. Of course, he would have laughed even if I had fallen.“It is not my fault that you are daydreaming. Did you
