"No, please," she whimpered. She hated the sound of her voice as she pleaded. She couldn't understand why she was there and why she was being looked at by the men in the room. She couldn't understand why she was there at all.All the things that had happened since she came back from ... where Hades had kept her, all happened too fast she couldn't keep up. All she knows is that this shouldn't be happening. What had she done to make her life so miserable?She took a step backward until the cold door pressed against her back. Save for the door behind her, there was no other entry. The men in front of her watched her every move, as though watching her helpless and weak was enough entertainment. She wanted to throw something but she had none. Her hand pounded on the metal door as soon as she turned her back."Let me out, please! I didn't do anything. I killed no one—ugh!"She tasted blood in her mouth and she felt the coldness of the floor. It all happened too suddenly when the man in fron

She did not plan on going to his chambers. Fuck his rules. She'd been crying in her own room for many hours that she drifted to sleep at some point. It was when someone opened the door of her chamber that she jolted awake and pulled the blanket to cover her almost naked body. It was Henrietta and she was bringing some clothes for her. She didn't feel relieved to see the woman. Not when she clearly remembers how loyal she is to Hades. Henrietta placed the set of clothes on the foot of her bed and then a tray of food on a table before she looked at her. "Clean yourself and wear this. Lord Hades expects you to be in his chamber in half an hour," she said and turned her back to leave her alone."I don't want to go," she said sternly. She was surprised to hear that her voice did not even crack. Henrietta slowly turned to watch her. Her sharp features getting even sharper with the little source of light in her chamber. The woman stalked forward until she was standing at the foot of her

“I…” Words left her. She’d forgotten about it: the reason why she was called to his chamber in the first place. Last night, she had enough time to brood over it. To guess and overthink what things he could be doing to her. She’s thought of so many things, each one worse than the last. It was the reason why she wasn’t able to sleep. And now, here she is, in front of the lord of the underworld himself.Hades turned to Cerberus. “Leave us. I want you scouring the upside and tell me everything when you get back,” he ordered. Cerberus gave her a look—the look that silently tells her she’s not going to escape no matter what she does. He then bowed his head to Hades before he disappeared, leaving a trail of black mist.Hades faced her. “Well then, we shall proceed.” He took a step close and she took a step back. He narrowed his eyes in her direction.“Please,” she said. She hated saying the word and it never really did anything based on her experience. But it’s all she got. What does she hav

If the outside of the castle is sinister, the inside was a beautiful kind of gloomy. It looked more opulent and she almost forgot she was in the underworld. Chandeliers providing warm light hung from the roof. The candelabra were plastered on the huge columns with thick candles that don't seem to run out. The light was enough to provide a strange kind of calm. It was ironic since the underworld or hell was often associated with chaos. She could only guess it was the receiving hall and it was already so huge. She couldn't help but wonder if the souls that come down here are welcomed with grand parties, but she doubted the idea as soon as she thought about it. This place is meant to be a punishment. A hell for the damned souls. "Dinner is served," Cerberus said behind her and she followed him walking towards an area she could only guess was the dining. Everything still felt surreal to her. She was just a girl with no parents and in a span of one night, everything changed. Suddenly, s

Her heart was beating too fast. She should move, she should get out and run back to her chambers, but her feet were somehow glued on the floor and she couldn't move a muscle.The sound of the woman's moans and Hades' labored breathing was what flooded her ears. Her eyes were glued to the part where the two were connected and for some reason, she couldn't take her eyes off of it. She forced herself to look away but her eyes went to Hades' face, contorted with pleasure.Holy--Whatever thoughts her mind was about to conjure, it was stopped when someone grabbed her arm harshly. The next thing she felt was her head hitting the wall as she was pushed a bit violently. When she looked in front of her, she saw Cerberus' looking at her. He was too near and she realized how small she was in front of him. And when she looked into his eyes, she could see them glowing in the dark. As in literally glowing in the dark. She doesn't know why they were glowing. It could be because of anger, it could be
