Artemis' POV
"What are you talking about?" I looked at him with a frown before my eyes gradually sharpened. I can't even find where he hid him for years and now he's going to accuse me of trying to kidnap our child? Well, I planned to but it never happened because he always knew when I was near!"Are you still going to lie? That's your plan on why you applied here, right?" he asked coldly while still raising his eyebrows at me. He acted like he was interrogating me."Yes, that's right. I'm here because I want to take my son but I didn't know what you are saying!" I said angrily. He just kept looking at me as if he was judging my whole being."What happened to my son?" I asked trying to get closer to him."Never mind if you are not the one who tried to kidnap him," he said and tried to turn his back on me but I quickly got close to him and held his wrist."I'm fucking asking you what happened to my son? Is my son in danger?” I asked while I felt my chest pounding.“He's my son, not yours. You left, remember?” His eyes were angry as he looked directly at me."I left him for a while! I also intend to return but what have you done? You brought him to America!” He chuckled at what I said before looking back at me with lifeless eyes. He looked like he was actually mocking me."Why can't I? Did you leave him in front of my house like a stray cat? And now you have the guts to get mad?” he asked, still grinning now. I bit my lip hard and was momentarily stunned because he was right with what he said. I really have no right to be angry but it frustrates me that he doesn't want to tell me anything about my son. I know he thinks of me as a murderer now but still..."Why did you bring him here in the Philippines? Is his life in danger in America?” I tried to calm my voice. He just removed my hands from him and continued to walk away.“Why don't you behave yourself? Maybe I'll change my mind and tell you the whole story." He didn't even look at me as he left. I felt the irritation in my chest before I threw the spoon that was on the floor at him. His head got hit which is why he slowly looked at me."Continue that attitude, let's see where it will take you," he said to me. He signaled the PSGs who were at the door to close it after cleaning the mess from inside.Annoyance gradually turned into concern when I was alone in the room. Worried because my son's life seems to be in danger. Anger at myself because I couldn't even protect him.In the following days, PSG kept bringing food, some were afraid of me but some treated me like a prisoner inside. I don't know what Zelo has planned for me because he doesn't visit on the days he goes around here either."Where's Zelo? I told you that the next time you enter this room, you have to bring Zelo to me."“Cocky, Bitch. Be fucking thankful that the President hasn't killed you yet," a big-bodied part of PSG said to me."Oh, why don't he kill me now?""Oh, believe me, when he gets the information that he needs, your blood will splatter on the floor," he said coldly while looking at me so I let out a smirk while looking at him.“Tell him that I won't eat unless he'll meet me. If you really need something from me, why don't you torture me instead?" I laugh before taking the dish to PSG. I hit the plate with his arm and it looks like it didn't affect him even if the plate broke. I saw how he glared at me but I only let out a smile.They are also really stupid because they didn't learn at all. I took one broken piece of the plate."You—" Before he could finish what he had to say, I used the broken piece to injure his arm without hesitation."Looks like it was effective to use to strain your neck," I said with a smirk. I could see the anger in his eyes before he got away from me, but because of my few days of rest and exercise here, I already regained my strength.Zelo's bodyguard tried to fight but I immediately grabbed him. I quickly turned him around and made him face all the broken pieces of plate that were splattering everywhere."Why don't you ask the president to meet me now? I won't wait for so long. I'll wait for one minute," I said with a grin before I started counting. The guard was a little nervous before he called the PSGs outside.The door opened immediately and one of them frowned slightly when he saw the broken pieces on the floor and some food as well."I told you that you shouldn't bring something dangerous here! If you can just put food in plastic, do it!” the man said angrily so a few people in the back immediately panicked. I can't help but laugh. Do they really think I can't use plastic to kill them?I still continued to count. Some were cursing while dialing the president's number."I didn't say that I would like to see any of you. I'm asking for the president," I said with a smile and counted to ten.I was about to count 10 when the door opened and it spat out Zelo who was panting. He was wearing formal clothes. Still wearing a suit while his necktie is messed up.“Fuck it. What the fuck are you doing?” he asked angrily."Hmm, I'm too tired of waiting for you. I told you that I want to talk. Is that so hard to understand?” I grin at him. He looked at me with sharp eyes and he looked like he was having a stressful day. If he had met me earlier, we would not have reached this situation."Alright. We'll talk. Let him go," he said. I'm easy to talk to so I just pushed the man closer to them but the good Zelo immediately shouted."What are you all fucking doing? Restrain her!” His voice sounded like thunder, which is why some PSGs rushed my way.Huh. He's not accurate in his words now, huh?Artemis' POVI took a momentary step back when they headed my way. I winced a little when I stepped on some of the broken pieces. I heard Zelo's cursing because of that but I didn't have time to pay attention to him. I was just irritated that I took a few pieces of broken plate before I aimed at their vital points. Some were unable to fight me.Only Zelo was the one who was able to restrain me, but before he could hold me completely, I threw the broken hand on his arm."Can you fucking calm down, Artemis?" I stopped when he mentioned my name. "Who started it? I'm settling down but who the fuck tried to ask his bodyguards to have a fight with me?” I asked raising an eyebrow at him. He took that as an opportunity to get me and quickly tied me to the bed with his suit. This jerk really trains himself so hard. He wasn't satisfied yet and took a piece of cloth to double-bind my hand."Fucking stay still, Woman," he said coldly before turning to PSG."Call Doctor Tanyag and also get a hand
Artemis' POVHe turned off the light of the flashlight he was holding, causing my eyes to briefly adjust to the darkness.I don't know but I could feel my heart beating faster when I heard his little voice until my lips completely parted when I saw the boy who looked exactly like his father. He was staring at me as if I were a chemical in a science laboratory that he needed to study. He let out one more smile before he turned on the lamp next to me."Why did they lock you up here? And why did they tie you up like a beast?” he asked. As it approached me, my heart seemed like a madman who wanted to get out of its prison. I bit my lip hard while still staring at him. It's Hades. My son."Are you a beast that changes into human form?" he asked in confusion. He even looks innocently curious.“But it's impossible though? And can't you talk?" he asked me again."I can. What are you doing here? It's dangerous wandering around at night," I said to him so I saw how he stared at me for a moment.
Artemis' POVI watched Hades disappear in front of me who was also taken by some bodyguards. I can't believe that I really see him in person."What did you do to him?" Zelo immediately asked me. My gentle eyes that were looking at Hades earlier were replaced by annoyance."What the fuck are you teaching my kid? Beast? Am I a beast in your eyes? Also, do you know that he was holding a weapon? He fucking knows that his life is in danger. He also knew that he was about to be kidnapped!” I said one after another while still looking intently at Bullet who gradually furrowed his brow while looking at me."Beast? Does he know about the kidnapping? What weapon are you talking about?” He looks like he was dumbfounded before frowning at me even more."He knows! He was holding a weapon when he went here earlier. It looks like he made it," I said so Zelo only looked at me for a while before he just sighed. I still glare at hi
Artemis' POV"You are rushing me to go out. Now you're going to complain about what I wear?" I raised an eyebrow at him but he just judged me with his eyes. There was even a threat from the way he looked at me. "You are making it a big deal. We're the only one here. As if you haven't seen everything yet," I said while smirking so he immediately frowned at me. I just laughed and ignored his annoyance. I was just wearing a long shirt and just my undies but the president is making it a big deal.He was just wearing his casual clothes, this is what he used to wear when we were still together. He just explained the evidence they gathered."It was 12:06 in the morning when this guy entered the house. We don't know how he got in yet, he was just caught from the CCTV that even the employee doesn't know about," Zelo said. He plays the video from his laptop. I couldn't see that person's face because of the darkness in their hallway. The
Artemis' POV"Will Mr. President really make her as one of his bodyguards? She might just betray us," one of Zelo's bodyguards whispered among themselves. I didn't know that they gossip a lot. "Instead of wasting your time talking about me, why don't you just train? You can't even win one-on-one with me," I said while smirking at them. They almost jumped in shock when they saw me.They are walking towards the training ground. I can walk freely here in Palais. The bodyguards don't like me that much or should I say almost everyone here doesn't like me but they don't have a choice because the president was the one who told them that I'll be one of his guards.Until now, he has not taken me with him outside the Palais, so I feel that there is no sense for him to hire me as his bodyguard. Add to that, the area where my son is off-limits so the training ground becomes my hangout place instead.The two guards in front
Artemis' POV"You can't stay here, you should go back to your building," I said to him while the curiosity still remained on his face. He immediately shrugged his shoulders at that."I don't want to go back. It was boring there," he complained to his bodyguards."You have the science lab for your curiosity, Young master," his bodyguard said. He remained looking nervous because they would really get fired if his father found out that Hades was there."Beasty is the most interesting creature for me right now though," he said, still grinning so that some bodyguards who were listening to him just scratched the back of their heads. I immediately saw the judgmental looks from them when they looked at me I just rolled my eyes at them. They didn't really know that Hades was my son, but they knew that I was a bad person who intruded on this place. I don't even know if they know I meant to take Hades when I tried to run aw
Artemis' POV"Sorry, Young Master, but your Dad said that we should protect you to a dange—" Before he could finish what he had to say, I looked at him with a frown on my face, causing him to be anxious, and immediately walked away."Here's your vanilla ice cream, Young Man," I said to him with a warm smile, which is why the smile also curved from his lips. Later on, we silently eat our ice cream. I know a lot of people are watching us. The cafeteria staff, the maids, the bodyguards, and some of Zelo's other staff in his office. Of course, they know about Zelo and the news might have spread about my attempt to invade this Palais. But I was so preoccupied with my son that I gradually forgot about them.“I wonder if it tastes better if I eat this outside?” he curiously asked."Hmm, you are eating it outside though?" I also asked him back."No, not like this, Beasty. I mean outside the Palais. I only had the chance t
Artemis' POVWhen we finally got out of the Palais, Hades looked at me in disbelief. He looks amused that we really got a chance to get out of the place."Looks like Daddy will really get mad when we go back. There's a chance that he'll punish you. I know that you are strong but I don't want you to be punished, Beasty…” he said to me so I shrugged my shoulders there. "He won't." I smiled at him just to assure him. But I'm really sure that he won't just punish me, he can also kill me because of what I'm doing but if he kills me once we go back then it's better to make the most of it.Hades and I got into a cab that passed by after we finally left. He was just busy looking around until we got to the amusement park. There was joy on his face so I just smiled before I extended my hand to him."The only thing that I wish for you to do is to stick with me, is that fine?" I asked him, smiling. Even if I wanted to make him happy, I also wanted to protect him. I wouldn't be able to take it if
