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

Seph’s POV:Tuesday morning was an eventful one. As soon as I had woken up Maids ushered me to take a bath. I thought it was all unnecessary keeping in view that it’s just morning and whatever the party Hades was taking it was an evening event or maybe a night one. When I asked them about the time that’s when I got to know that I should also be on my toes. It was noon.The whole afternoon was wasted in grooming and making me look less like a battered wife. It was probably all for keeping up faces. He wants to be in his arm like a beautiful trophy he had attained. The thing he had always wanted to do.My eyes opened as the maids bought a Navy blue embroidered net dress. The straps snaked at the back leaving my cleavage in view. The sparkle of it dimmed the whole room. Everything else was cheap in front of it. I caught the wall feeling a rush of emotions passing through my brain.This dress. The color is everything. It was meant to catch attention and the person wearing it would become

Hades who was walking just beside me stopped with me. His furious eyes burned me and my heart was pacing on a rhythm of its own.They had asked me about my father’s killer. I want to tell them that he walking beside me pretending to be something he is not. He is weaving my life in his lies.The paparazzi were still blurting questions at an unstoppable speed. Irritation buzzed on his face but he did the exact opposite. With an arm around my back and his other hand on my neck, he kissed me in front of them all.The media broke loose. Each of them shares the scene in their words with the channels. For them, it was a token of love that we shared. Hades broke it after just a second but slightly whispered ‘Walk’ before threading our hands and walking me towards the entrance.A breath a sigh of relief as the loud voices finally cut off. Beads of sweat accumulated on my neck and I shivered.“You will pay for that later Seph” H seethed at me.“Hades please give me a moment to compose” My foot

“What happened seph?” Flora took my hand in hers. “You didn’t like me?”“We are not living for the approval of some low-born people Flora,” Lara said from behind. I ignored her and placed a kiss on both of her cheeks. “It is too difficult to not like someone like you. I was shocked for a moment. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen”How could anyone not like her? She is like a bundle of joy. Her smile was lively and her energy dizzying. She reminded me of Ayla.“Come.” Hades grabbed my hand and led me towards the front. They raise the toast for his successful career and long life. Hades clinked the glass with a fork. “After all that drama still, he is going to go on with this” Behind me probably his grandmother uttered. If I heard this so did Hades but don’t think he cares about what she said.“I have another important announcement to make.

I ran towards him. Shreds of broken vase lay beside him. I went and crouched in front of him. Drops of blood were scattered on the floor. I shuffled his body a little and found that it was from his hand where the IV should have been.His breathing was barely traceable and I put a finger in front of his nose to confirm. I checked for any more injuries. There were no soaked bandages. I quickly picked him up and carried him to the bed. He weighed nothing and anyone could have assumed him dead if it wasn’t for the slow rhythmic breathing.The oxygen mask was on the floor so I picked it up and adjusted it to his face. Just like seph had said his body looked ghostly pale. Sheen covered his face. What had happened here? There are no signs of fighting. Nothing looks out of place except the large blanket which he must have tossed out while getting out of the bed.I dialed the doctor. He must be on the premises. Seph had said that there was someone else here as well. There couldn’t be. Except f

Just as I approached the dining hall, the table felt silent. Hades was sitting at the head of the table as expected. To the opposite of him sat his mother shooting daggers at me. Many chairs were empty but I did not move to occupy any of them. The chair to his left is empty too but I do not want to sit beside himMy reaction confuses me. Was I not clutching him so tightly as if I would fall otherwise? So why now my heart refuses to be nearby him?Maybe because at the same time he is both safe and dangerous for me. Every move he makes is unexpected for me and he is always one step ahead.Claudia gave me a small smile. The chair to her left is empty. I will sit beside her. Just as I took one step Hades said. “Have a seat Seph” He motioned towards the empty seat just beside him.This time Claudia’s face turned into a sympathetic one. I tried not to hop despite the bandage as I took the seat near him. Flora reached out to touch my arm and I flinched a little. You gave me one of her brilli
