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

Seph’s PovI feel as if I have been sleeping for a long long time. How much longer I don’t know. Something in me feels broken. Shattered to pieces.My eyelids were matted so it took a lot of internal power to open them. Darkness surrounded me. The same way it has surrounded my heart.I was laying on something soft. It was Not a bed. The lack of bedsheets and comforter proved so. It suddenly reminded me of the chills that the cold night was giving me. I felt frozen from the cold. I tried to cover myself but couldn’t. What I wearing was given with a reason. It was to make me feel cold.Whoever chose the wardrobe seriously has some fascination with revealing clothes.This dress did not allow me even a bit of modesty. My cleavage was visible and my stomach was just under the soft net fabric. I felt like a bride ready to be at the service. A small cloth attached to a string kept my genitals a little covered. A long white ribbon was attached to the front of the dress beneath the cleavage. I

Thank God Eros had a doctor with him otherwise I would have been delivering a dead body.I rubbed my forehead with my fingers. I am having a crushing headache.

Seph’s POV:“Leave me. Hades Leave me” He dragged me through the rough patches of the forest without even thinking that I was barely dressed. I clawed at his hands to lighten but that only made him drag me with more force.The blood from my injured foot left a trail in the dark forest. With the gip he has on my hair, it feels like they are being torn from my roots leaving my scalp on fire. Not only that he has my child killed now he wants to torture me too.I grabbed a nearby tree showing him that I refused to be treated like such. A beast-like growl emerged from his mouth and a moment later I was punished for my rebellion. A sharp sound rang in the silent night as he backhanded e with such a face that left me sprawled on the moist land.Something cold and wet dripped from my burning lip. I touched it with my shaking fingertip. Fresh blood sat on my fingers. More tears emerged in my eyes. In a swift moment, he took a hold of my arm in an iron grip and started dragging me again.With m

Seph’s POV:“No one Hades, no one helped me that night” I told him because this was the truth. The ones who could help me were dead.He gritted his teeth in anger. “seph this will not work. I want the truth. Without someone’s help, you could have never been able to fly out of this country with a small child. Give me the name seph.”With tears in my eyes, I begged him to believe me. Why would I tell a lie now? I am bruised battered shattered from inside. I have nothing left.“No one hades believe me no one” apparently my wailing did not affect him. He grabbed my head from the back and threw me into the sea. I was not even given time to grasp oxygen so water poured into my mouth fervently. I tried getting out but the weight at the back of my head kept me from doing so. It was getting harder to breathe.So much water and cold. In no time water started filling in and just when I thought I was going to lose consciousness he pulled me out. My body dragged the precious air inside. I will di

Seph’s POV:The room was so bright that my eyes hurt from it. Exhaustion lay deep on my body but so did the heavy unknown weight on my body too. I was held by strong arms from behind. Muscles kept me caged in place. It was not too hot but it sure felt comfy. I was laying on something soft and an equally fluffy thing was draped over me.Suddenly A phone went off behind me and the weight lifted from me. I felt emptiness but I was too groggy and tired to even move. A name was said in a threatening tone “Jace”My foot throbbed with a dull ache and I closed my eyes willing the pain to go away. A moment later a knock on the door came. I couldn’t see who it was because I facing the other way from the door towards the large window.Feet shuffled and the door was opened because the question was asked by the intruder. “Ti?” the sleepy yet angry and irritated voice asked. (What?)I kept my attention on the talk to see what is the fuss about. Even though something kept pulling me under I tried my
