HADES pov:The nights have started to get cold. Dew drops settled at the mirror and silently skidded as the car drifted through the air. I looked at the mansion as the car slowly drifted past the walls towards the entrance. I had asked the driver to go on a slow pace as I waited for a text to arrive.So many matters still waiting to reach the end. Theíos told me that they had got the trail of the man who had dared to attack me. (Uncle)At the last moment, he had fled and is hiding somewhere. No problem. He will be caught soon.The mobile buzzed with the message. “No trail afentiko” The text read and I clenched it tightly. It means that the security team had checked again the video footage of the party and still haven’t found anything. No other person had entered other than the ones we have called. (Boss)No unknown guests. But one of them knew what we are hiding. It could be a business rival. More than a hundred people were invited. It is too difficult to narrow down the person.But h

3rd POVHades left seph in the room that was his own throughout his life before the death of his patéras. It was the custom that the new head would live in the master bedroom of the west wing. Hades had cringed at the thought that he would be living in his patéras room but nothing could be done so he had asked the servant to refurnish it according to his tastes.Before going into the room, he slightly opened the door to Alex’s room. Alex was sleeping and the new doctor was sitting on the couch nearby with a book in his hands. He closed the door and went towards his which was a few paces away.The signs that his patéras had ever lived here were gone. Gone were the gold walls and pristine sheets. Now the interior was decorated in black and contrasting grey- and pale-colored sheets laid on the bed. Dark brown leather chairs seemed to just sigh in comfort in the familiar pallets.No images hung on the wall. Hades preferred it that way. Nothing to look forward to or come back to. He doesn’

“Are you fine seph?” The cautionary voice of the girl asked me. Men in black surrounded me. “Kyría me aftón ton trópo”. Mark led me on. Some of the men followed us and others remained behind. (Ma'am this way)I know where my mom is buried. When we were closer to it I stopped. “Stásou edó. Min értheis mazí mou.” I don’t want them near her. The murderers have no right. It will be a slap on my face. (Stand here. Don’t come with me.)“Kyría prépei...” He began to say but I stopped him. (Ma’am we must-)“Óchi. Den tha páte parakáto, egó.” (No. You cannot go further will me.)“Perímene éna leptó” The men in black surrounded me in a loose oval as Mark went a few paces away probably to call his master who has him on a leash. My frustration grew. What is this drama in a place like this? From afar a people or two looked our way but kept incorporated in their tasks. (Wait a minute)“Prépei na sas synodéfsoume touláchiston méchri ti gonía. Aftés eínai oi entolés.” He relayed the command to me. (W

Seph’s Pov:He is here. This Is not the way I should have met him. No. I should have been running back to him. In his arms. It was not what I had wanted from him. He gave his life to me.I have bought this upon him. Them.They suffered for my mistake. They lost their life because I couldn’t keep them away.I am still paying the price for that kiss.I bought death upon them. My father did not deserve this Hell no one deserved this. He should have lived to see my daughter. My daughter. I quickly scrambled off to find Ayla’s. The first one to make me a mother call me one. The one to give me the feeling of being a mother. The one I taught how to move.I was the witness of her firsts. First word. First likes, dislikes my brave daughter who endured everything with me in the last five years.I had only one thing that I should have protected at any cost. But I lost it. I lost my gem. My Halo around the moon. The one that poured beauty over it all again. Now I can’t see the moon without thinki

The small animal chewed on the small bandage on my fingers. And I was reminded of the last night.I still don’t know the extent of the injury. What he had done to it. He took his engagement ring back and burned my finger. I don’t understand. The rabbit nudged at it again and took the loose end in its mouth. I pulled my finger back worrying that he would accidentally eat a piece.It had already become loose so I decided to remove it. What was the purpose of burning it?I unwrapped the small white bandage. Fear clawed at my heart. Why am I scared of looking at my finger? What could be there?I regretted pulling it off. Because I don’t know how I stopped myself from shrieking. I clutched my head with the other hand.What horror is this?Why?Small ‘HD’ was burned into the inside of my fourth finger. I tucked my head between my knees. This is a breach.He marked me. He had left his teeth marks on my body that were nothing compared to this. Those marks would remain invisible to the world b

Flora moaned that she is hungry and her sister seconded her so we were off to eat lunch. Again, it was a too expensive one. Claudia asked if she could just give touch to my face and I agreed. I was embarrassed because I don’t know what the people at the shop would think of me.It’s been too long since I last wet to a restaurant. I think I have even forgotten how does it feel to sit in them. A strange hustle and bustle. People coming and going.It feels a little strange to me.Furthermore, I have never been to a restaurant this expensive. It screams that only the rich can afford it.They ordered and I excused myself to the restroom. My hand clasped on my mouth as soon as I entered.I was going to shout loud but the intruder said “Hey it’s me Pavlos”I nodded. He removed his hand. He removed the hood of his jacket and dark ginger hair popped out. A faint stubble on his jaw made him attractive.He looked at me for a moment and then as if shaking it all of he said.“Anyone can come in her

Seph’s POV:Another day has passed since Pavlos contacted me. He has not initiated any contact. Even if I lie on the bed I cannot sleep and I am anxious. Days passed in this weird room which I have come to know previously belonged to Hades.Flora’s visits have declined because she has to attend school. I rubbed at my finger feeling alone once again. Why does it itch so much?My morning evening and night are spent in this room locked up. There is nowhere to go as the door to the terrace is kept locked. I realized that the night Hades burnt his initial on my finger he had done it on that terrace.If that door was opened, I would have jumped from there. I shook my head at the thought. Pavlos will help me. I have to fight, not give in like a coward.Hades had not visited me even once. After the day we went to choose the wedding dress, I was simply guided back to the room and I haven’t even once gone outside.They must be making preparations for the wedding. More than a thousand dollars we

“What are you doing to yourself?”He pointed toward my hand. This time I looked down. The white small gauze on my hand had flicks of blood on it. While the nail of my right hand was still embedded into it, I felt no pain.“This is not the way out” He stood up and removed the invisible dust. “It cannot be. If you want you can share it with me. I want sent to talk”I didn’t answer. I was not going to. I have no reasons to talk with him.“I hope you understand that talking can bring healing.” He stood up. “I must get going now. I have more patients to attend to”He opened his briefcase and took the pill bottle out. “Perhaps a change in medicine could help you” He put them on the table and knocked on the door.“Think about the choices he gives miss seph because there is no way out and all your plans are bound to fail. He asked me to relay the message that he would be here soon”The door opened, the man outside gave me a look and went away. My plans are about to fail. He will be here soon.
