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

Anonymous POVThe blackness which had accumulated behind my eyes from a long time decided to vanish as the White light pricked at my eyelids and forced me into the living world again. Reality again. I would rather run from it and never look back at it.Slowly I descended into the world where lies pain. At first, my head seemed fuzzy. It feels like a fog had accumulated and made everything dusty.Still, I tried to make sense of my surroundings. A pained sigh escaped my lips and evaporated in nothingness. I am here again. What is my sin that I am left to cry here forever?Forever? Did I think that it will last forever? Do I believe it?A shudder passed through my soul with the realization of what I believe deep inside me.How long will I stay like this? I am miserable and time refuses to turn in my favor.No savior. No light.Why do I keep searching for the light? Why am I even searching for the light? This place itself is full of lights. So why do I consider myself to be in the dark? I

Unknown POVThrough the camera, I saw him open his eyes. He looked here and there, trying to gain consciousness of what is happening. Of course, he would do that. It's just his habit.He has been on sleeping meds for about two days. We normally drug him just to teach him a lesson. This time We kept him drugged up for a long. We had to deal with some matters. Some outside world matters. Some problems have appeared. New people coming and going always are a hassle. We can’t take care of those problems while babysitting his ass.The poor child must be thinking he has been drugged because he is sick, bad, and is being punished. He kind of is sick. He has some rich ass eating problem so It’s is very difficult to look after such him.Mostly we keep him gagged up so we don’t have to listen to him. I don’t think that he will be able to speak if he even gets a chance to. With all those feeding tubes and gags he must have lost his voice by now. Dumb baby.Good! At least he will remain shut up. T

CLAUDIA POV I plopped onto my bed with my feet touching the floor. Everything is changing very fast. Loyalties are changing, faces are changing.It is very difficult to find the ones who are on your side. Will Hades be able to handle it? He has spent a long time with theíos. He must have learned a lot from him.We do not carry the family genes of remarkable intelligence; so, in more than one way we are alike. We are to work to get anything we desire.The layer will be here to hand over the will when Hades returns. The golden will of The Decardo family that will ensure Hades’ rule over all family estates and money.We shared the hate for that sorry excuse of a father. Now with him dead, we are free. We are free to do what we want.The human world is so unfair. It’s the law of nature that Happiness for one party brings sadness for the other one. Profit for someone, loss for another one.I stood up a went to the walk-in closet which is further attached to the make-up room and bathroom.

Jace POVShe is Alone. So probably nothing. Jonas is capable of taking care of things if something went back there. I want to go back to her.I cannot think about others things when I have more important on my hand. I groaned at the fact that this kid matter is taking too long.If he is dead, I have to find proof. I rubbed my eyes. Since I have entered this village it is like the strings have unrolled themselves to get me tangled in them forcefully. Everyone is suspicious here. From the café owner to her daughter, then the child kidnapping scene, and then that tow truck man.I have nothing to do with their crises but it felt as if they were begging for help. Were they afraid to ask for help in front of the people? Demi the café owner’s daughter. Her expressions. She is in trouble. I raked my hand through the hair.The phone beeped indicating that the message I had wanted to deliver was at last been received. Fuck him. Took him so long to answer. Maybe he is interested in sorting out t

SEPH'S POVThe rain will not be stopping anytime soon. The weather has worsened. It was not drizzling anymore. It’s like a raging storm.Beside me, Ayla laid cuddled up. The room light as always was on because I started hating the dark since that God awful night. Ayla seemed in a talking mood. She had already slept in the evening and now was busy doing her favourite thing. Asking questions. I helped her in the bath and realized that her blonde roots glistened from beneath the brown ones that I had coloured. I have to look for hair colour. Suddenly Ayla asked a question which just dragged me to the whirlpool of memories. Memories of my Homeland. "Mama is Athens beautiful?" She asked innocently. "The most beautiful place you would have ever seen," I remarked. The history and art of Athens are divine. It’s a perfect place for one who has a great interest in knowing the ancient culture."I want to see it too," she said."Maybe one day my dear" I kissed her head. I wanted her to know a

JACE POVI raised my right eyebrow in a questioning answer. Does he even know who I am? I sensed Castor's body stiffen beside me. “Although we do not deal in adult organs, his will work”. He said pointing his thumb towards me.I really belie that What we do today projects the road of our future and right now this man is just calling for a very painful slow death. Even if I die here my family will kill him. Every man associated with him will regret the day he was born.We not only have wealth but the right connections too. This is why I am so……Demi and her father sat like a statue. It seemed that they weren’t even breathing.Suddenly some words came from my side impressing me. “Not him, you can take me,” Castor said to Boss. There was no line of hesitation on his face. I sensed loyalty.The man looked at him and then at me. “Is this the start of the game where bot

Hades’ Pov So, this was it. My wait is over. She is here and no one has the strength to take her from me. I picked up her unconscious body. Her hair is matted to her face because of tears. She cried for mercy but I have none for her. She bought it upon herself. I don’t know how long I will keep her. Maybe…. till her charms wear off from my heart. But right now, the only thing I could think of is how to devour her body. I carried her outside. Carlos still held the crying girl. She started crying more when she saw the unconscious form of Seph. “Mama. What happened? mama” “Afentikó what should we do with her?” Carlos asked. The girl kept wriggling in his hold. It felt as if she was going to be sick from crying. Seph had told me she had no parents. This is not even the girl’s country. I’ll put her in an orphanage when we arrive in Greece. “Bring her” I put Seph in the car and buckled her. When Carlos put the girl down to set her in another car, she took the chance and the girl ran

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

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.

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?

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.
