I was stunned that he had used these words for me. For her daughter. A lone tear escaped my eye. The realization of what he had just said struck him hard too. He came for my hands with apologizing gaze but now I was in no condition to listen to his explanation. He had said that I was a whore. I ran upstairs to my room and locked it. I had never imagined that my father would say such a word to me. Ever. If mamá was here with me she would have calmed him. She would have never let her say that to me. My reflection in the mirror caught my attention and my locket glistened in the light coming from the window. I moved closer to it and removed my tears. The locket was given to me by my mother. It had two wings at each side that would open up and inside it was engraved prostátis in ancient Greek. It meant “protector”. I remember that once my mother told me that she got this when she was young and sightseeing at a temple with her friends. She and another one of her friends had helped an old

Anonymous place I woke up with frantic breaths. Why do I keep seeing That woman again in my dreams? The one with dark brown hair. No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to remember any kind of facial expression. Her eyes her mouth nothing is visible. She just stands there. I will never find out who is she. Because I will never get out of here. How long will I stay here? Why was I left here in the first place.? This seems like some of a mental institute. The doctor says I am sick this is why I am here. I don’t know how much time has passed since I was left here. Why was I left here? What did I do wrong? I don’t remember anything about my family. Who are they? Where do they live? How old am I? Stupid brain! Why do not I remember anything? The room I am in is a white one. Everything inside is white. I am laying on the small hospital bed with my hands and feet strapped to it. There are two doors connected to my room. One leads to the bathroom and the other… outside. It must be the e

Five years Back The Night of Engagement SEPH’S POV It is the night of the engagement. I stood in front of the full-length mirror clad in a white dress that had delicately designed pink flowers. It felt like a funeral preparation minus the black dress. I took a hold of my mother’s locket and put it around my neck. I closed my eyes and imagined her looking at me. She must be watching over me. She must be praying for our success tonight. She is my strength. I am at Aunt Erca’s house. Two months back we had welcomed the baby girl and named her Ayla. A halo of light above the moon. Just like her name her face is bright as the moon. In our times of distress, she bought a relief. Just like how even a flicker of light could erase darkness. She gave us hope in this turmoil. We decided to dress up in Aunt Erca’s home. The dress that the monster has bought me, I will wear on his funeral. the funeral of his ego and honor. Bampás and Uncle Nico had refused to deliver me to the devil. They wi

Whoever will try to stop him will be trampled upon.What sort of attraction does he have to her? Love is too much of an emotion he would give to a woman. One night stands never bothered him.

Athens, GreeceLARA’S POVI sat at the breakfast table with Claudia and Xander. The breakfast table is kind of empty today. Soussana has already left saying that she will be back for the party. Suspicious woman. She had expressed her distaste for Hades’ actions rather strongly saying that she can’t see him running after just an ordinary girl instead of being here with his family. Thanos has also left saying that he will be back to welcome the new bride.“Flora isn’t here yet. Did you not call her?” I asked the maid standing behind my seat.“Yes, ma’am I did. She said that she will down in a moment”My husband’s death has changed nothing. He was by no means a patient man. Hades is just like him so I can’t feel any difference. But still, it’s better in a way.Hades knows that I raised him. He gives me the respect of her mother. Respect not Love. After his mother’s death, I had no interest in becoming the typical stepmom. His father was already hard on him after Hera’s death. He loved h

ANONYMOUS POVI woke up with a pounding headache. Voices kept drifting in and out as I stumbled into consciousness. I had heard the voices even after I stopped seeing things. Yes, there are times when I could stop seeing things.I am a monster. this is why I am born like this. I opened my eyes. I am still here. was I thinking that miraculously I will be outside If I wake up? No, this time I will not listen to my brain. I refuse to get into trouble because of it. I will prove to the doctors who take care of me that I am a good boy. I will obey them. They are doing all this for my benefit.Everything is foggy. Something kept filling my stomach. Then I realized that a wire is taped to my cheek too. It is something I hate the most. The feeding tubes. I groaned.My hands are still strapped to the bed. This way I will not be able to hurt someone. I started to droop on my own. How long was I out? I don’t remember. Again I could sense something pulling me to sleep and just like that everythin

Jace’s POV: “Sir there is a broken tree on the road. I tried to stop but the brake didn’t work.” it was already night. I had hoped that I will go to the hotel and sleep. Too much for a little wish. It was dark outside and there was no one on the road except us. The driver got out of the car. Behind him, I went too. It was already going to rain and now this. It was a large tree. The locals must have been aware of this because there is only us here. No one else. “Sir there is a way here.” A path went into the forest. The signboard read a village. “We should go to ask help” He suggested. The weather was already getting rough. I took my gun out of the car pocket and put it into mine. We don’t know what kind of people we will meet there. “Yes, let’s go" We walked for about thirty minutes and reached a village. The village of white houses. It was enlightened by the lamps people had outside of their houses. We saw a cafe and started walking towards it. The weather screamed calm before

JACE’S POV “Yes, but we are interested in getting to know the people here closely.” I told him basically to see his reaction. He remained quiet for a moment. Then said “Ohh. If that is the case, I will tell you the place after you have ordered. “He chuckled at his own words nervously. We placed the order and after that, he led her daughter to the back room. “Something’s fishy boss,” Castor said in a low voice as we were the only ones left at the table. “Yes definitely. Let’s roam the city and ask people” I suggested. He nodded his head in acknowledgment. I started looking outside of the café from the large window. Some people walked without even glancing inside. A woman passing by the café caught his attention. She had a baby cart that she was pushing. She stopped for a moment. Her eyes met mine. She passed me a worried glance. She was looking at something behind my back. The next moment her face was filled with a horrified expression. She started pulling the cart and just lik

Two days have passed since the night I saw the dream. I had been quite since that dau and PAvlos had noticed this. He had asked me the reason but I told him there was none. I was waiting anxiously. Mark must have also uploaded the video.It was around five when I left the bed because I had to throw up. I had left my pills back there in the mansion. I could sense the headache coming, and I rubbed my forehead, willing it to go away.There was no use of laying down and trying to sleep knowing it wouldn’t come. I made coffee and stood in the kitchen looking outside.The road was empty as expected. I think I have developed a habit of getting up and staring outside. How many times has this happened?Each time I was looking at life through a new window, each time a new perspective. But every time with wondering about the complexities of life.There was a time when I was scared to look outside in that foreign country. Then Hades came keeping me out of that and forcefully pushing me into his.

We had dinner and then we went to sleep. I loved the guy. Mark. He invited me to his home but I refused because I thought it would make his family get involved also. He assured me that it was not a problem but still I politely declined.I closed my eyes and willed the peaceful sleep to come. A soft piano tone fell on my ears. I have heard this various times before.It was dark all around and then I found myself in the Decardo mansion. The tune was all around me engulfing me in a beautiful trance.I looked all around madly. I wanted to be immersed in it. Music like that I have a beard before. I had listened to it in another dream of mine.“Come here” Someone called and I felt the voice all around me.I had listened to this voice various times now. It is too familiar now. It was not before. I followed the voice and searched for the person in every corner.It was as if the walls were singing and dancing. Such was the effect.Then I felt that I was coming from upstairs. I climbed the stai

Pavlos said it is better than the friend that will be helping me come here. The doorbell rang and Hades came inside with a middle-aged man. He was big but not the intimidating type.“Seph this is Mark, Mark Seph” he introduced me to Mark.I shook his hand. “It is nice to meet you” before I could say anything Pablos said “We will say this in return if you help us to get our work done”“I will try my level best,” Mark said.I hope so. Because if doesn’t work out I do not know what other way will I choose.“Do you have an empty room here? I need to set up the camera”“Yes, this way” Pavlos guided him to the room in the basement l. I followed him. It was quite large but empty. A white sheet was draped on one wall.“It has been used for such purposes before” mark commented looking at Pavlos.“Yes and No”He set up the camera took out his equipment and Pavlos bought a stool from upstairs. He set up his laptop on a table that was the only piece of furniture in the room.“he has told me your

Pavlos took us to another car and then got inside it with us. “Mama, where are we going?”Ayla asked me. “I will explain everything to you Ayla do not worry”“You are not hurt?”“No baby I am not” I kissed her forehead. My sweet angel got so much worried. But if things will go right this will be the last time, she will see me worried. Pavlos drove the car and took us to a house. There were many houses around. It was not a secluded place.I was glad otherwise I would have been scared. “Come out seph” I did as he told me. He took me inside a house. This house belongs to my friend. I did not take you to my house otherwise they would have located you easily.“Where is your friend?” I asked because there was no one inside. I hope he leaves me with someone good.“He died a long time ago”“I am sorry” I said.“No. He was actually a friend of my father. He never married and had no children of course so he left it to me. He was my Godfather”“I am so sorry” I said again. The people that lov

We are strangers to each other again.I dnot think he love dme for even a single second . It was all me that thought he had the guts to provide a woman will all the love and cherishment.What can a person do? Survival with this kind of man is impossible. People must have always listened to the story of Billionaire Maximilian Decardo marrying college crush but it is only a few know what was the reason behind.It is such a humiliating and horrific truth. How could one know what was behind the smiles and their actions. Hera was never loved noe was Lara. It also passed onto the next generation. Hades hates his father and so does Caludia.Wht did they even got in the end. cOntempt breeds contempt. Love breeds love.

“He kidnapped seph because I did not respond to this threat before,” Hades said.What? This is why I was kidnapped. Hades blamed me because of me Alex was taken. He made me feel so bad that because of me that boy was also taken.It means if I had not run that day this man had found another way to take me. fuck! I fisted my hand because otherwise, I will scream. I will scream so loud that their cores will be shaken.I promise you hades I will do you irreparable damage. I will do it and then I will see you cry. I will laugh after seeing your tears. That day I will feel contended to the core.“If you need help, I am here” Caludia offered. “I know” Hades answered. What kind of help can caludia offer? Is she mafia and fires guns like her brother? I want to laugh but I refused to show any emotion.“Flora you must be thinking that's why I called you in this matter.”“Yes Adelfos”“You have grown up. You should also know what is happening but the main thing was to make you stay alert. Do not

I did not look at him instead I kept looking to the front. I have nothing more to say to him and nothing to search for in his eyes. A few days ago, these were he eyes that I wished I would always find familiarity. Now I do not want to even take a glance in them because I will only see the torture his family has been doing to us.Lara and Thanos took their seats and then Caludia came. The breakfast was served. Ayla is not here. Did she even take it. I slightly turned to Flora to ask but she instantly squeezed my hand.“Adelfos asked the children to not come. Alex and flora will have together”I nodded.Hades montioned the amids to leave and now only his family was left. “Where is your fiancé?” he asked caludia. Surely, she was not expecting this because she choked on her water.“What?”“I am asking about your fiancé” Hades said each word clearly as if talking to a child. It was to embarrass her. I want to feel bad for her because she had a trouble childhood but I will not give sympathy

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

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.
