"H-Hi!" The young thirteen year old girl chimed as she waved her hand nervously, standing beside her sister Lilith who stood still, surveying the entire classroom. "My name is Ariel Lamar and this is my twin, Lilith..." She chuckled nervously as the students stared at them in bewilderment.
Right in front of them were the twins of the famous Derek Lamar whose net worth is over billions worldwide. The school wasn't a fancy place for rich children just like Ariel and Lilith but it still was an expensive school.
Lilith didn't say a word since her name had already been introduced by her twin. She didn't want to say anything else either, so she simply remained quite.
The entire class's eyes were automatically glued onto Ariel who seemed to be the most vibrant of the twins and most sweet. Besides, the entire class had their curiosity on her body instead.
Unlike the other thirteen year olds and her sister Lilith, Ariel had much larger breasts than the rest of the girls. Despite the fact that she was wearing and a loose uniform, skirt, they could still tell her waist was small and that she had wider hips than the other girls.
She was a thirteen year old with the body of a fifteen year old already.
Lilith on the other hand had almost smaller features than everyone else, especially her sister. She had a smaller body than Ariel, but wasn't at all very skinny. She only had narrower shoulders and a much smaller waist and slightly smaller thighs as her thigh gap was mostly visible than Ariel's.
They were the exact same height and had the exact same facial features. They both had bright nutty eyes, thick lashes with bright soft pink but plump lips.
As a matter of fact, the class had already marked them as the 'cute twins'.
"Very well, take your seat where ever you like." The teacher smiled down at the twins, also excited she had to teach the children of the famous Derek Lamar. She ought to remember to give them more attention.
Ariel looked around first before she noticed a girl secretly inviting her over to a seat beside her. She smiled out and grabbed Lilith's wrist as she also noticed an empty sit there.
They made their way in-between the desks and finally sat where the girl instructed Ariel to sit as Lilith sat just behind her, at the window. It was a desk completely far from the front but Lilith didn't mind at all.
The teacher began to talk animatedly as Ariel smiled the entire day.
The two had never been in a school before mostly because their father had many insecurities after his wife had been abducted before. So his children had been home schooled their entire life, up until their mother assured their father that, since they were much older, they would easily get away from sketchy people and that they needed to see other kids their own age.
He reluctantly agreed.

The bell rang into Lilith's ears as she just finished scribbling the points the teacher was writing on the board. She immediately glanced up towards Ariel who already had people gathering around her."Is it true your mum got abducted?" A kid asked as he leaned onto Ariel's desk while Lilith warned the ones approaching her not to even think about it.
"Is your dad really Derek Lamar!?" A girl squirreled in excitement as she tagged onto Lilith's shirt.
"How old are you?"
"Is it true that after your mom was rescued and you were born dead then came back to life?"
"Is it true your mum used to be a rental wife!?"
"What's a rental wife?"
"Why would anyone want to be a rental wife anyway?"
"Is it true she was a prostitue-"
Lilith banged her fists against the desk as she stood up forcefully, nearly knocking the seat over its feet. She clenched onto her jaw as she glared up at the girl who asked the latter. She immediately moved from her desk and grabbed onto her collar, getting her to panic in fear under her gaze.
"Prostitute?" Lilith asked in a hiss as she tightened her hold on the girl's collar. "Does she look like a prostitute to you?"
"Lilith..." Ariel stood up and softly tapped Lilith's shoulder, trying to calm her down.
That was just Lilith.
She always had the urge to protect her family and most importantly her twin sister. She always believed she was supposed to protect them after Derek had narrated the story of how he met Victoria, his wife. Lilith then assumed the world was a dark place and swore to protect her sister, no matter what.
She also had the urge to protect her mother after hearing what she went through just for them. She told the twins she was happy it happened that way, however, Lilith denied it and said she didn't have to nearly die for it.
So it was natural she would get agitated by it.
"I was... I just heard it somewhere." The girl frowned as she glanced away, visibly shaking. "I'm sorry..."
"She's not a prostitute." Lilith hissed out and let go of her collar.
"Then what's a rental wife?" A boy behind her asked, causing everyone to gasp as they all glanced towards the back where a boy sat, with his legs on top of the desk and his chair tilted back a little. "Aren't rental wives just a sorry excuse for being a prostitute?"
Lilith clenched her jaw as she stared at him, noting to herself who this kind of boy was.
The bully.
As she recalled in the movies she had watched before. There were those smarter than average that were called the nerds from the way they looked and their behavior. Then came the popular kids, the kids with money and fame in the school, as well as the good looks. Then came the 'normal', the ones that didn't fit anywhere and were just average students. Then lastly, the bullies. The kids that loved to cause scenes, harass their classmates and cause trouble for almost no reason.
So Lilith was well aware he was a bully. Unlike the others, this particular boy didn't tuck in his skirt and his tie just rested on his shoulders with a few buttons slightly undone. He didn't look decent at all. On top of that, he wasn't wearing black shoes as recommended but some light grey sneakers with a beanie to match.
He was going to be trouble.
(Present) Hades glanced up at the clock just on top of the cashier and it was well past ten now. He was clearly late for work since he had to stop by at a café just to buy a few things.... Ahem... For Lilith. "Here you go, freshly baked donuts, with chocolate filling, am I right?" The woman behind the counter asked as Hades nodded and fished out his wallet. She turned back to the hot drink he ordered and placed it beside the bag. "And a hot chocolate, sweetened plus heavy milk and a cookie." She finished and he simply nodded again as he handed out the money, getting her to frown since he literally did not answer any of her questions, even her good morning. He quickly grabbed his bag and cup after he paid her and walked out of the café, half running and walking towards his car. He glanced at the watch again and hissed under his breath once more before cruising into the road, nearly hitting into a car that honked at him loudly and aggressively. With a simple roll of his eyes, he ig
The moment Hades walked out looking like a whizzing teapot, everyone knew that he was furious and it didn't go well for him. Much worse than usual.He stepped into the elevator and tapped onto his floor and it only took a few minutes until the doors opened. He stepped out and headed to his Uncle's office, knowing he was about to receive some scolding.He knocked against the door and opened it a few seconds later, peeping into the room where he could see his uncle staring at a graph on the wall."I'm late." Was the first thing Hades said as he stepped into the room and closed the door. "I'm sorry.""You're a secretary, Hades. If you continue this I might have no other choice but to-" his uncle paused as he noticed the stain on his shirt and sighed out with a small nod. "I see. You can have a ten minute break to get your shirt cleaned at the dry cleaners. Come when you're ready." He sighed out and Hades nodded."Want some donuts?" He asked, holding up the bag as he walked to the desk an
Hades couldn't help but rub his eyes every now and then as they began to burn in the air from the lack of sleep. He glanced his desk to the watch just sitting at the corner of the room and it was just around noon, hardly close to their closing hours.He wasn't given that much work, but he couldn't sleep on the job. Not after he turned up late. Otherwise his uncle would degrade him, and he wouldn't want that. It was just embarrassing.He rose the coffee mug to his lips and took a small sip, sighing out as the strong taste of black coffee rolled on his tongue and down into his throat.Lilith would probably love a coffee...He thought to himself as he took another sip and glanced towards the door.She's probably tired too.He nodded to his own thoughts and got up from his seat, placing his mug down and walking towards the door as he made his way to the elevator. Once in, he quickly tapped the floor leading to the in-door café, a café just for the employees in case they skipped breakfast
"Okay." His uncle sighed out as he smacked his hands against the table, getting Hades to glance up at him in confusion. "At least tell me she's just playing hard to get.""It took you the entire day to figure that out?" Hades sighed as he folded his arms to his chest while sitting across from him, sitting on the waiting couches since he had finished his work a while back and decided to watch his uncle work.As though that sounded normal in the least."It didn't take me that long." He shrugged his shoulders and flashed Hades a grin to which he eventually rolled his eyes to."It's freaking, 8:45pm, Gary." He sighed out as he run his hand through his hair."Aren't you going to escort her home?" Gary asked as he raised his greying brows at him, watching his nephew frown slightly before meeting his eyes."She probably left a while back." He shrugs his shoulders and leans back into the couch. "I'll just find my jacket hanging by the door or on the floor when I go pick it up after.""That m
"So, what's the task about?" Lilith sighed as she closed the menu once they were done ordering their food. "Is it about the new recruits?""Um..." Hades cleared his throat as he leaned back to his seat and glanced around himself, watching a few couples here and there and some business meetings here and there.It wasn't too fancy but enough to keep away from noisy children and loud music since Lilith assumed it was for business.Little did she know."Well... Yes." Hades nods just so Lilith wouldn't get up the moment he says his Uncle lied. "It's about them. He was asking if you could pick ten from them, who would they be and the reasons why." Hades cleverly said as he nodded to his own words.Lilith pouts her lips for a moment, stuck in thought as she glances up at the ceiling, thinking carefully who it could be."There are in fact a few I know are the best. There's Jane Millet, Frank Woods, Christen Parker, Gwen Holland, Vincent Jacobs, Lorain Lamber, Troy Williams, Dexter Harbor and
Lilith watched as Hades left the place before reaching for her phone and dialing Ethan's number as she got up from her seat and grabbed her bag. "Where are you?" She asked once he picked up as she began to walk towards the door. "I went back to the studio. You can meet me there." Ethan said on the other end, getting her to sigh out as she pushed open the glass doors and stepped out. "Okay, I'll be there in a minute." She said before ending the call, hardly giving him some time to reply. She walked past Hades' car just as he got in. She glanced down at her phone once more, checking her emails, only to find it flooding with warnings from her director. She had missed a lot of lessons because of work. She tried to explain it to him, but he didn't want to listen and blamed her for slacking off. This time she was an hour late but can still make it. Or else she would get fired. She stopped at a stop sign and began to wave at the taxis speeding by, rushing with their last clients home
The moment Hades made it back into his house, he walked straight into the kitchen, heading for the cupboard just above the sink with all the alcohol his friend had collected since the past weeks.He grabbed a bottle and instantly pulled the cork right off before chugging it down, only to choke when it burned his throat, causing him to stop instantly. A deep sigh escaped his lips as he walked towards his couch, dragging his feet along with him.He threw himself back onto the couch and leaned into it, feeling himself sink right in. His lazy gaze trailed around the room and towards the photos of his roommate and his girlfriend on their countless vacations around the world.The largest photo of them both sat just above the small empty fireplace, staring mockingly at him. It was a photo of Morris and Nora deep diving with a dolphin right beside them, both grinning at the camera as they hugged the dolphin.Hades could only hear it from them since he never tagged along despite having Morris
Struggling to peel his eyes open, Hades could only feel the sharp sting of his head throbbing inside of him from all the alcohol he drunk the other night.He leaned from the couch he had slept on all night and glanced around himself, only to spot Morris sitting cross legged on the floor in front of him, staring intensively as he crushed the many crisps in his mouth."What time is it?" Hades asked as he reached his hand up to his head, stroking his temple."Eleven." Morris replied as a grin spread across his face, noticing Hades' horrified gaze."Why didn't you wake me up!?" He hissed as he stood up, only to flinch and fall back."You seemed tired." Morris shrugged his shoulders as he crumpled the bag of chips into a ball after finishing it. "Plus your hungover doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon.""I have work you bastard." Hades rolled his eyes and sighed out as he leaned back into the seat. "My uncle will murder me if he finds out I'm skipping work because of a hungover.""Call
