Two days have passed and Hades has not made even a single contact. I spend my days roaming in this mansion. I am not allowed to go out but I have met Pavlos two to three times.Hades has given him a job. He did not give me the details but I could see him and I was glad to see that his bruises are healing.I could see him daily. He is a very different kind of human. He smiles but it seems that he is sad inside. I always get this feeling when I am near him.What can I say to a man who had a respectable job and got himself into this trouble because of me? Now he is continuously in the line of danger.Ayla goes to school and so does Flora. I am alone in the morning and I do not think Roxanne wants to have any kind of contact with me.She hardly leaves her room. Maids take everything up to her. Her brother comes often but I do not have any reason to talk to him.I just want Hades to come back. I will ask him for forgiveness even when I know I have not made a single mistake. I will do this.
She tried to make herself comfortable on the couch while occasionally taking small gulps from the bottle. We all want the good thing to last forever but it never does.At her part of life, it’s a shame she has not learned that lesson.“So what do you want to know”“Tell me about my parents”She choked on her next gulp. “Way too straight forward.” She coughed again to clear her throat. She looked at me to see whether I was telling a lie but the serous look on my face must have given her the answer.“What about them? Twenty years are enough to live with a person and get to know them”“Yet people die without even knowing themselves even though they had spent lives inside themselves.” This time she did not look up at me but just said “fair enough”“But promise me I want the truth”“I do not make promises anymore. Look where promises have landed me. You just have to listen and decide whether to believe or not”I nodded.“Were you friends with them?”“Forever,” she said looking into a parti
What the hell have I done?How will I be able to justify myself? I did not even do anything. I just touched her and she lost it. It all happened too fast.Hades have to believe me. it could all be a game of his aunt.Yes. I will tell Hades that she was the one who lured me into the trap. She came and then made me do all this. Otherwise, I would have never approached her.I brushed my teeth to get rid of the smell and acrid taste and then paced in the room. My anxiety was not allowing me to stay still. He is already angry with me.Oh God!Will he believe what I say? What happens if he gives me divorce? What will become of this child? He will never let him stay with me. My future will once again become uncertain. On the top of that he will not let me live in peace.He will destroy me.Ayla.The love he has shown her will vanish. She is not his child why would he keep looking after her and shower her with wealth.What about her future? Will I lose everything?The door burst open and I g
The doctor kept on standing and at last when she was tired of me not answering her questions, she huffed a sigh and asked someone to carry her case downstairs.I have finally come to a resolution. If Hades had loved me even for a moment, he would have tried to give me a chance. Above all, he would have stood by me.I muffled my cries with my hand. This is not what he had claimed. When he announced that we will get engaged he told me that I was his obsession and passion.Was his obsession only for the time I was not with him? He carried that obsession for more than five years; did it not evolve into love?His sweet words all for nothing? It was all to make me fall in love and then leave me at a crossroads.Now I know what he meant to do. It was all his plan. He knew that at this point in my life, I wanted to stop and give in. He played with me.Oh God! How could I have been this much stupid? I have ruined this life for myself. Just for a man who had looked at me with only lust.“Seph”
Suddenly the door opened and before we even got the chance to separate the intruder passed us a glare. I would have lost the life in me if it was not for the face of the child that I hold dear.That I know will never be on the side opposite to me.“Mama”“Come in Ayla and close the door. quickly”I donot know why she did not do the thing I had told her but also the fact that she remained rooted on the space she had occupied since she had entered.I quickly got up and closed the door. “Ayla come inside”“mama” she held onto my gown.“What happened Ayla?”“Mama why are you with him?”“What are you talking about?”“Mama he is a bad man. You were hurt because of him”I looked at Pavlos apologetically. “I am sorry Pavlos. She is just a kid”He walked to me. “That is fine seph. I will see you soon with the plan” he said and gave me a hug.“Donot touch my mama” Ayla said angrily.What has gotten into her? “Ayla behave yourself”“Mama-” but I cut her off with a glare. She is being out of line
I went out of the room but it was not what I had expected. I was thinking maybe they would arrange a special meeting where all the members would be present but no. It was the usual hustle and bustle.I went to the place from where I could overlook the large living room. I noticed something different from the last few days.The house was a lot livelier now. Of course, it would be. The real mistress of the house is back. I sometimes wonder whether she always had this power. It has flaws and cracks but still. She must have done something because the family is always surrounded by her.I touched my stomach. Or is it because she has given birth to most of the children. Even when both of them were not male. In the end she had ended with a male one.Does my fate in here is dependent only on this child? Will I not have a status or love of my own. Something that is attached to my self only.Lara was lucky Now in paper and presence Alex is his son.I missed the chance. I should have asked Roxan
Seph’s POV“Caludia wait”She stopped and raised her eyebrow in question. “You know I did not do anything”“I know Seph. But my knowing would do you no good. In the end, the weak suffer just like your parents”Yes, this is what I am afraid of. Hades will ask for proof. Roxanne will never tell me that she was the one who tricked me and set up all of that.I know my parents suffered because of this family but I have to know what exactly happened. I am sick of staying in the dark.I went to her and clasped her hands. “I do not know what is happening to me. Caludia if you know anything that is hidden from me. I am begging you please tell me. I want to know what happened to the. What was their relationship with your family?”She looked at me for a moment then her face became sad. “I understand you seph” she gave my hands a small squeeze.“Come with me. We can talk in my room. I do not want anyone to eavesdrop.”I followed her because I don’t know what to do now. She closed the door behind
I am left speechless at the betrayal my family has also done to me. I had the right to know about everything. After Hades forcefully asked me to marry him and created a ruckus at my home my father should have told me right there.I am a sinner. How could I fall n the trap of these snakes who suffocated life for us? I was adamant that I would never have a relationship with Hades because he was wronged by my family now when I know how much things are escalated How can I live with him?Sometimes life takes you to places you have never thought about and when I look back on my life it seems that mine has been unpredictable from the very start.How could they know what it is like being the victim? My father was the victim yet in all those years he kept it inside his heart. His life was destroyed. He carried the shreds in his heart. His eyes cried yet he never told me that we have been at the receiving end of these cruelties.They say forgetting is the best revenge but I know my father never
