Fires Within Fires CHAPTER 23
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

SEPH’s POV:The moment he had taken off his coat and rolled his sleeves I had known what was about to happen.He whipped me.He had repeated the words that “ólo aftó ftais esý”. Isn’t it always? Even if I did all this just to save myself it is still my fault. (This is all your fault)What did I do to deserve beaten up like this and left broken? The only fault of mine was to cast eyes at the wrong man. God knows how much I had regretted that single glance that paved the path for my destruction.Even if he tears apart my flesh piece and piece, even if he drains all blood from my body and even if he kills me, I will never regret running away that night. I had to save myself from becoming a puppet wife.So now even if I lay broken here with blood oozing out from my wounds and him shouting that I bought it upon myself I will not agree. Yes, I bought it upon myself but not the way he thinks. I bought it upon myself by admiring him that night.I used to read in books that there are some sins

Hades POV: There was no need to ask him who was injured. His fear was saying it all. “Mama” a small voice falls on my ears. “Afentikó……” the man wanted to maybe brief me about the situation but I didn’t wait for it. (boss) I hurried past him towards the stairs. It’s not been more than a day or two and she has already succeeded in hurting herself. Does she think that she can escape me this way? Death is a good possible way out? I have never taken her to be a suicidal type. She was scared of me but never had she said that she will kill herself. I thought that she was smart but now it doesn’t seem like that. I climbed the stairs at went into the room which I had left locked. It stayed open now with just an aura of silence lingering in the air. There she lay on the large queen size bed motionless and with a towel at her head. Lara sat on the bed applying pressure. When she saw me, she instantly got up and moved a few paces back. Her already frail frame looked more fragile. Her fac

Ayla’s POVThe big man who was standing behind the devil took my hand and lead me to a room. This room was also very very large and beautiful. This whole place is so big. I have never seen such things. At last, he picked me up and sat me on the bed. It is so high and soft. I have to jump if I want to get down from it.Where did the devil go? He was going to do a deal with me. He is a liar. He said he would tell me about my mama.The big man was going to leave me alone so I asked “where did the devil go?” I asked. He did not answer and closed the door. I am alone again. I am missing her. She loves me. She never leaves me alone so why is she not coming? Did she get hurt? I will kiss her and then everything will be okay.She will be in the house. I should search for her. I looked down. My legs are short how can I get down? I want to sleep because I am sleepy. My stomach made a noise. I am hungry too. I want my mama. I used my sleeve to erase my tears.I am very sad. But why am I crying?

Seph’s POV:After hades let Ayla meet me the maid provided fresh clothes. The welt marks have now faded to white lines on my back. The stitches on my head were just covered with a small bandage that kept the stitches out of sight. I was expecting them to be blue but somehow, they have healed. It must be the maid. She must have put ointment on my back again and again.Now Ayla was sitting on my lap sleeping, snoring softly, oblivious to the happenings of the world. We were in the lavishly decorated living room. Hades stood in the corner discussing something with his men.Occasionally his eyes would fall on my face and then his attention would be back to whatever he was discussing. The maid had handed me a stripped culotte jumpsuit which was backless and left my arms bare. The neckline was a little down for my liking which made me feel exposed. I felt like a slut and a mistress.Unlike me, Ayla wore a pink and white chiffon floral dress that came down her knees. It was shoulderless. She

Sousanna’s Pov:“So, what is it now? Why are you rotting like a prisoner here Anne? You eat no more and sleep no more. What are you mourning” I admonished her on her behavior. Is this the way the way a woman of Decardo family should behave.With her actions like this she is disgracing her. As if she hasn’t enough.Roxanne lay on the bed perched like a broken woman. She could easily be taken as an old woman in the darkness of the room. Life had left her. She was paper thin. Her brown hair sulked on the pristine sheets. In her black gown, she seemed like a fallen princess. Beauty and youth fade into nothingness with each turn of the night. White chain glistened at her bare neck.“I have a lot of things to mourn for mama”. Roxanne’s raspy voice told long unheard tales of consumed liquor.I took a seat beside her daughter on the bed. “When will this sorrow end?” I swiped my hand over Roxanne’s forehead in an affectionate manner.“Never mama never.” She took a deep breath. “For there is no

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

He went his way and I turned towards the other way to go and search for Ayla. We have lost whatever we had in the last few weeks. 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. This is it.I asked the gardener and he told me that the playing was on the other side.I followed the directions he gave me. I came across the most

“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

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.
