Seph’s POV:“Believe me seph I understand. My unborn child died a few years back. I know what it feels like... Your loss is greater than mine. Because I never got to meet him or her. But your daughter…” He trailed off looking at a distance. “But we have to move forward seph. You will get to experience everything again. Even if you don’t believe it now. So, keep the memories close but bury the past in the past”I looked at his sympathizing eyes which shine with hope now. Is it as simple to forget everything? The past.The deaths. Everything.“say goodbye to them ómorfos ángelos. Let them go.” (Beautiful angel)His black eyes had given me a ray of hope. Will I fall into a pit if I accept what he had said or will there be a new day behind the black cloak waiting for me?Even if I forget the past can I forgive Hades’ sins? Will I not look at the faces of my dead ones every time I will look him in the eyes to find love?“So, we can be friends right ómorfos ángelos?” He extended his hand w

Hades Pov:I looked over the city from the condo that was located on the top of my 36 floors building. The city lights provided a dazzling view of the city. I liked the view but couldn’t find it mesmerizing as most people do. I decide to have a shower since the tiring day has worn me down and still there is a lot of work that needs my attention.The steam-caught mirror suddenly had me dragging towards it. My family emblem painted on my left side below stood against the other tattoos. In the smoky mirror, it looked like the colors splashed haphazardly. With the swipe of my hand, I removed the foggy wetness.The D in Gothic has the acropolis encased in it. Though our souls may leave us, our bodies cannot leave Greece. If I am here seph should be here too.I quickly dressed up removing her thoughts from my mind. I have more work to do. There will only be one outcome otherwise. I will end up beside her. And I will not be able to hold myself anymore.I cannot afford to lose control.The to

Seph’s Pov”Two days have passed since Hades left me here. My foot was a little bit better and now I could get up and walk without needing anyone’s arm to steady me or feeling nauseous. I limped around the house, it hurt but it was better than having anyone so close to my personal space. This reminded me of what the doctor told me in the morning. He had said that I would have felt if I take medicines.I had refused to take them after the first morning. I welcomed the pain that had become my akin. The medicines made me drowsy and I wanted to explore the place so I could get a way out not waste my time sleeping it off and miss the opportunity that Hades is not here.Jace did not come back. I had hoped that he would be back soon and I could get to know more about everything. Maybe I could find a way out of all this. He could become my connection to the outer world. I do not know what is happening beyond these walls. There is no electronic device here. If there were any now there remains

Hades entered the dark room. A million thoughts resided in his head and the tiredness of the last two days laid havoc on him. At least all the matters are looked into for now. There had been no breaking-ins in other clubhouses since his men eliminated every rival member who infiltrated his property. Steps were taken to end any sex trafficking business going on. His drugs business thrived once again and, in a few days, a large shipment will be handed over according to the deal.Flora would easily look after her. Anne’s condition got better. Nothing out of place. Everyone where they are supposed to be Hades thought.He was exactly where he was supposed to be.The moonlight stretched its legs faintly over the windows illuminating the figure perched on the bed. He loved seeing her in clothes that left her naked for him. Easily accessible.Hades took off his coat removed his gun and threw it on the chair. His footsteps were loud in the otherwise silent atmosphere but Seph didn't even move.

The morning greeted her with the sound of birds singing outside. Last night's moments came rushing back. She quickly tensed. Why had she initiated the kiss? Her mind had no answer for that. It was all the fever and helplessness she had felt before her arrival.Her injured foot was trapped under the foot of Hades. She could feel a weird irritation in that foot so she slowly took it from under him. She stilled when it reminded her of the last night. The doctor. He shot at his foot because of her. He had been sweet to her. But then revealed her monstrous side.She couldn’t bear being close so she slowly dragged her out from the uncomfortable covers. The floor felt cold under her foot and she relished the coolness but it didn’t last long as an arm snaked around her and pulled her back to her previous position.“Where are you going?” There was no anger in his voice. The musky sleep-fueled voice had a pure question in it. Can she use it all in her favor? The previous night's actions. Everyt

The breakfast was exquisite. From Ladenia to sesame bread rings and sfakianopita. The table was adorned. Hades didn’t leave which definitely meant that he was going to have breakfast here. Soon maids had erupted from the kitchen carrying all the traditional Greek breakfast dishes. I look like a docile woman just to the left of the man sitting on the head seat. Cliché.I had no interest in eating breakfast just after that gut-wrenching news. So, I broke the absolute silence with my proclamation.“Your friend came to visit me” He was devouring the flatbread easily cutting a knife through the tomatoes glued to it. If he was surprised, he didn’t show it.“Who?” There was no curiosity. It was just a plain question. Sometimes I think he is like a wall. No expressions most of the time.“He said he was Jace”“He was excited to meet you. I didn’t know he would come straight here” He cleaned his mouth with the napkin. “You should try to befriend him then perhaps he would let you meet his girl.

Behind her, Carlos nodded in affirmation. She took a drink from the second glass and then kissed him. Her lips came on him with a gentle smack and he settled her hips with his free hand. Hades could taste the scotch on her lips. Her fingers went to his hair and she deepened the kiss.“How many?”“Seven. I heard them talking”“Who?”“I couldn’t see their faces but I know one of them was Mr. Stephan”“Are you sure?” he asked for confirmation because Stephan's fate is dependent on her words. He will die tonight if she says it’s him and her next words said without any pause sealed that man’s fate.“100%”From afar he saw Stephan stopping by Carlos. He eyed her over the shoulder of the girl. Stephan's eyes widened.With his cold fingers, he grasped her right breast and pressed the sensitive skin of her nipple. She moaned. “For Drugs?” He asked because his lips were not visible behind her blonde hair.“Yes”“Your name?”She hesitated a little as her breaths became shallow “Aria, Afentiko” H

Hades Pov:The mansion basked in the dim lights of the poles as his car slowly made its way towards the entrance. Once he had vowed never to set foot in this house again. Once or twice? The inner voice called out. Twice.He had come to a realization long ago that it cannot be his home anymore. Atrocities are committed beneath these floors. Blood wells up from here. It is he that will not let it become a home.I took the gun from my pocket and checked the bullets inside. Only one missing. It is enough to remove his existence. He will burn all the waste from the past. The ashes are all he desires.“Bring him to the father’s room” fully knowing that the order would be met with no delay. He took the staircase to the left wing. Flowers decorated the railings and covered adequate spaces. West-wing was a private place for the head of the family. Family members couldn’t reside there, the east wing was allocated to them.Usually, they wouldn’t stay here together. Each one of them had their own
