Dinner was yet to be served while Hades and Anastasia were subconsciously stealing glances here and there. Hades was getting restless and wanted an opportunity to speak with her. He looked at Jonathan for help and he nodded "Ana dear, why don't you show Hades around?" Jonathan said. Anastasia snapped her head towards him with wide eyes, but before she could refuse Cordelia interrupted her "Oh let me show him around Dad, he's already well acquainted with sister, I'd like to know him too" saying she stood up, and was immediately stopped by Jonathan "No dear, let Ana do it. I need to speak with you and your mother" he said and turned towards Ana " Go on now, come back before the dinner is served"

Ana reluctantly got up and started walking without a word. Hades followed her and as soon as they reached a safe distance where no one could hear them he started speaking "Ana, love! Please, I beg you to hear me out". Hearing his strained voice she sighed and started walking towards the

  • A love to die for....   Chapter 46: Hades's engagement

    Hades's POV -The only emotion I'm feeling since the past few days is anger. I didn't use the information against Lucian because I still had a soft spot for him, but who knew that he would get involved with the underworld. Most of his activities are illegal.All these years I assumed that he was giving me a tough competition because of his own abilities and even after all the hate, I was happy for him. But who would have thought that it was just shortcuts. However I don't care what happens to him anymore, Anastasia is my bottom line. I don't care if she doesn't accept me, but in this short time that I've known her, I'm sure marrying Lucian isn't what she wants and he is definitely blackmailing her with something. I can't let that happen to her because of me. I will have to take care of Mia too, since the only reason I had agreed in the first place was because I didn't want Lucian anywhere near Anastasia.As soon as I reached home, I saw Mia in the living

    Anastasia was sulking the whole time while she was getting ready. She would have skipped the party if not for her parents forcing her. Lucian wanted to be the one to pick her and make an entrance together, however fortunately for Anastasia, he was called for a meeting and would be late for the party. Also Jonathan managed to convince him that they wanted to take her together with them. As she was getting ready, Cordelia entered her room, walking elegantly towards her and sneered "Oh my poor sister…It's a pity to see the guy you love marry someone else, isn't it?" Cordelia said and when she didn't get any response from Ana she continued. "I always thought you had everything that I've ever wanted, but I guess not…. I mean, you are the most unfortunate person I know sister. You liked Liam, and I know you did. I don't know what happened but it doesn't matter anymore. The point is, you liked him but he didn't like you back. I'll let you in on a secret… He loves

    Lucian grabbed Anastasia's hand and walked towards Hades and Mia. Mia smirked as soon as she saw them walking towards her. Hades on the other hand felt annoyed when he saw Lucian holding her hand. All he wanted to do was to break her free from his clutches and take her away from the place. "I'm sorry Hades! You finally got engaged to the bitch, my condolenses" Lucian mocked Hades and looked towards Mia with disdain. Anastasia looked at him wide eyed. If the situation was different, she would have found it funny. She shook her head and started talking "Congratulations to the both of you" saying she handed them a gift with a forced smile. She avoided having any eye contact with Hades but as soon as she turned to leave she stopped after hearing him "You look beautiful Love!" Hades's word froze her on the spot but she didn't turn. Mia sneered. She was already annoyed by the fact that Anastasia had stolen her limelight and now her fiance was complimenting her as if she didn't exist. "Yes

    After hearing Hades, Ana realized that she had forgotten to check the information that Kelly sent her. She didn't say anything to Hades as she wasn't sure if that was the information he was searching for. "I've heard you as I promised now let me go" She said and tried to push him away. "Not so soon Love! I want answers too….Why did you agree to Lucian? I know there's a reason and I'm extremely sure he's holding something against you, I just don't know what. Please tell me so that I can help you out" He asked, his voice pleading her for answers.Meanwhile, Lucian was getting impatient with her absence. It had been a while since he called her and she wasn't back yet. He was worried that something might have happened to her. "I would be restless too if my fiance was cheating on me with a love rival" Cordelia approached Lucian. "What do you mean?" He asked, confusion laced in his voice. "Have you noticed that it's Hades's party but I can only see Mia greeting the guest

    "Was it worth it?" Anastasia asked. Lucian looked at her again not understanding her question. "The hate you have for Hades?.... Or how you chased Mia? You've already achieved what you wanted. Hades is forced to marry someone he doesn't want to, you also managed to get me away from him. Are you at peace?" She elaborated her question. Anastasia genuinely wanted to know his answer. She was the same as him at first, filled with hatred towards Liam and Cordelia. She had pondered a lot on whether she wanted to make them pay or add fuel to the vicious cycle of revenge and hate. She always thought how she would feel once she made them pay. When Liam was apprehended she didn't feel anything. She had always thought that maybe when she was done with them her heart would feel some sort of peace. Lucian was also driven by hate and revenge and that made her curious about how he felt now. Lucian was speechless at her quest

    When she met an empty living room Ana started looking around for him frantically. "Hades?" She shouted again and again but there was no response. She suddenly heard some noise from her room. She ran towards it only to find him standing there with the picture of her with her mother and father. "Hades…… You shouldn't be here!" She almost yelled and snatched the frame out of his hand and placed it back on the nightstand. "Come let me take you back" She held his hand and tried to tug him towards the door. Yeah! The keyword was tried. He wouldn't move from his place and kept staring at her. "Okay that's enough staring, come on let's go downstairs" She said again trying to convince him to listen to her. He didn't listen to her, instead pulled her towards him and hugged her. Ana was stunned, she was completely locked in his arms. "What are you doing you big baby… Leave me this instant!" She yelled again, struggling to get away from his grasp. He shook his head and plac

    Arthur reached her place in 25 minutes. Ana was waiting for him patiently and received him at the door "Sorry for bothering you at this hour Arthur." She was feeling guilty of troubling him."Don't worry darling. The person who should apologize is that idiot. Why is he going around getting drunk and bothering others? Where is he anyway?" He asked, looking around for him. "He's upstairs sleeping. I was waiting for you to wake him up." She said and started walking towards her room. When they reached the room, Arthur tried to wake him up but there was no response whatsoever. He jerked him even more forcefully and Hades let out a groan of annoyance "Ana…." he whispered. Hearing him calling out to her, her heart skipped a beat. Arthur huffed in annoyance and after sometime managed to make him stand. Hades was staggering while Arthur tried to support him. Ana went on the other side and crossed his other hand over her shoulder. Both of them took him downstairs and towards

    Anastasia was woken up by the sound of her ringing phone. She looked at the caller ID and saw her father calling "Good morning dear. Sorry to have woken you up so early, I wanted to inform you that I and Kiara would be staying here for a few days till your grandmother gets better." He said."How is she now? What did the doctor say?" She asked worried. "She suffered from a heart attack. They've kept her under observation and gave us a list of things that need to be taken care off." He informed.Ana suddenly realized that it was her engagement today "What about the engagement father?" She asked. Even if it wasn't to her liking, she wanted her father present. She might as well postpone it or just go and talk to Lucian regarding the information and break it off. "Oh don't worry about it. I've spoken to Lucian already, he agreed to postpone it till we come back." Ana sighed hearing this 'Hopefully there might be no engagement at all by the time you come back' she thought. "Well

    Anastasia's POV-"Hades! Get your boys to come down soon, we are getting late for Nova's graduation" I yelled at my husband. Yes, you guessed it right, we have two boys, twins- Lucian and Lucius, complete brats. If it weren't for the fact that they were scared of Hades, I wouldn't have been able to manage those two. Nova is graduated today and I can't help but feel, how time flew by so quickly. Hades and I still manage our companies and prepare Nova to take over mine. I still remember how those had proposed to me, it still brings extreme joy to my heart. Hades finally did go for a cliché by going down on his knees and asking me to marry him. The most surprising part would be the whole ordeal with Nova. The sweet child went on her knees too and give me a stack of papers asking me to be her mother. Those were her adoption papers. I couldn't have been happier that day. "Mom, I can't find my socks" I heard Lucian yell from his room. I didn't even step forward when an

    Even through her struggle, he managed to tie both her hands to the bedpost. She wriggled and screamed for him to leave her, but he didn't bat an eye. He was enjoying this. When her yells became too out of control, he gagged her with a cloth. "You need to relax darling, how are we going to enjoy this if you keep being a brat." He leaned forwards and wiped her tears, caressing her cheeks. "So beautiful!" She could see the admiration along with lust in his eyes. He pressed himself on her, making her cry out more. "No one can save you this time Ana, not even Hades. You are all mine now. I won't allow anyone to be an obstacle and if they wish to be, then they will end up like Cordelia too" His grin sent chills down her spine. She looked at him with wide eyes, surprised at what he said. 'Did he kill her?' Looking how he had all her attention "You are right darling! I killed her, along with that unborn child." She w

    They reached the place after a while, she was still feeling anxious to be alone with him. When they entered the place, she immediately recalled her childhood. She tried to mask her sadness but he already noticed it. "Come on, Let's get you settled inside." She hesitantly walked inside, not knowing what to do anymore. She could only sweet-talk her way out of this situation. "Do you know why I have brought you here darling?" She resisted an urge to roll her eyes at his question and smiled instead "I believe, my surprise is due" He chuckled and sat beside her, giving her a file. She already knew what it was but feigned innocence. "Here!" She read the contents in the file and this time didn't hold back from rolling her eyes "These are the shares your wife transferred you. How is it a surprise for me" She kept the file on the table and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. These documents were fake, but he didn't h

    Aurora had to stay up late at her office, to finish up some pending work. Since it was past work time everyone had almost left. "Ms. Pierce, do you need anything else?" Her assistant asked "No! I've got it. You can leave for the day" She smiled gratefully and her focus immediately went back on the work at hand. After a while her phone rang, breaking her focus "Baby girl, the lawyer just called. The documents had been successfully changed and you have all the shares in your hand now. Liam doesn't know about it. He thinks, Cordelia signed away everything to him and yes, the lawyer has been paid. He won't open his mouth." She leaned back with a winning smirk on her face. "Thank you, Lucian! I'll take it from here.""Wait! Are you still working? Why aren't you home yet?" He asked worriedly."I had some urgent matters to deal with, it's almost done. I'll in some time" She said while reading her files again. He sighed as he was used to her working overtime "Fine! Call me if

    Liam woke up with a pounding headache and tried to adjust his eyes to the light in the room. He looked around to see an unfamiliar house 'Did I hook up last night?' He thought at first, but seeing that nothing was amiss he disregarded that possibility. "You're awake!" He turned when he heard a familiar voice was dumbfounded 'I spent the night with her!' His eyes widened and tried to recollect what had happened. "Good morning! Here's the medicine and there's the bathroom. Freshen up and have breakfast. My assistant is here if you need anything. I got to go." She said nonchalantly and walked out. By the time he regained his senses, she was already gone. 'What happened?' He was confused when his phone rang aggravating his headache even more. He took the medicine first and then answered the call "Liam!" He got irritated "What is it, Cordelia?" She gulped, "You need to come home. I have something to say to you. It

    That evening Aurora was at home, busy designing. This had become her way to relax her nerves after a tiring day. She was fixated on it when her doorbell rang. She walked towards it confused and checked the time.' It's dinner time, Who would be here at this time.' She thought but opened the door anyway. Hades stood leaning to the wall with a bag of takeout in his hand. She shook her head and smiled at the man in front of her. "I'm sure, you haven't had your dinner yet" She broke the silence and walked inside. She took the bag from his hand "Ah! My savior!" She said dramatically and went to prepare the dinner table. "You are still so careless! When will you start taking care of yourself?" He asked exasperatedly. She placed her arms around his neck and he instinctively held her waist and pulled her close "If I start doing that, then why would I need you" She said and pecked his lips. His lips curved into a smile

    After a few days, Liam had started getting restless. However, he didn't know how to approach the matter with Cordelia at a time like this so he decided to give her time. He knew she had asked his lawyers to prepare the documents. That day he decided to pay Aurora a visit, so he went to her company. When he reached there, her assistant asked him to wait as she was in a meeting. He waited there patiently for an hour, thinking that it was his fault for not informing or taking a prior appointment. After an hour her office door opening and he saw Hades walking out and Aurora tailing behind him. Hades turned around and pecked her lips bidding her goodbye. Liam's frustration at this couldn't be controlled. His nostrils flared and his jaw clenched at the scene that unfolded in front of him. Hades walked away and it seemed like she didn't notice him standing there. After a few minutes, her assistant came and asked Lia

    Liam came out of the bathroom and found her sitting in a daze "We should head back tomorrow. I have a few important things to take care of urgently" She was about to acknowledge and agree with him when her phone rang "Hello?" She said without checking the caller ID "Mrs. Arden, it's your mother…she...She's dead" Cordelia was surprised by the news and she felt incredulous. "How? What happened? She was fine when we left" uncontrollable tears came out of her eyes. Liam looked at her with confusion and stood beside her. "The doctor said she suffered a cardiac arrest" A hand flew up to her mouth and she sobbed uncontrollably. "Cordelia, What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?" He couldn't understand what was going on. "Liam, we need to go back now. It's mom! She's dead." One could see the surprise in his eyes, however, the sudden turn of events made him anxious 'Urgh! I had finally manipulated this stupid woman to give me everything and I was so close to getting it. That old ha

    When Liam came back to their room, he saw Cordelia waiting for him. He ignored her and walked towards the bathroom. However, before he could enter he heard her calling him. He looked at her annoyed but didn't say anything, "You wanted me to prove to you that I loved you right? I've called my lawyer and asked him to prepare the share transfer documents. I don't care if I have anything or not, all I want is you to be with me, Liam. Promise me that you won't leave me" She asked, tears falling through her eyes. She looked defeated and tired, if it was someone else then they would have found her pitiful. Liam was happy but his face was brimming with apathy. He scoffed "Stop fooling me Cordelia, I won't believe you till I see those papers signed by you in my hands. I won't believe your words, for all I know you could just be trying to coax me to not divorce you " He turned but she stopped him again"No, these aren't just empty words.
