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

Hades POV“How the fuck did this all happen?” I barked at my men. After the incident, we quickly made our way to the airport. There was so much danger in staying there.“Afentiko the security team was found with their neck slashed. It seems that our security was compromised from the start. They sent the text from the security headphone and asked for the change in route” Carlos replied.“Find them as soon as possible Carlos or you won’t like the circumstances,” I ordered and dismissed him. I couldn’t contain the fury. Fuck! If something would have happened to Seph I would have killed everyone on the fucking planet.Carlos did not leave instead he took out a USB from his pocket. “We have checked it for any threatening material afentiko. There is only one audio file in it.”“Play it” While he was starting the laptop, he informed us that they had found it along the dead bodies of the security team. It was attached to the forehead of the driver with a ribbon.So it was someone’s twisted id

Hades POVEven though I felt a little tired I cannot afford a break right now. So many things need to be done. I took a sip of the coffee missing my Kopi lowak. I miss its taste. In about thirty minutes the plane will land. I can already see my alluring Greece from up here. It gives me the feeling of coming home.Seph hasn’t opened her bewitching eyes yet. Her hazel eyes mixed with brown in the iris pattern have never lost their charm to me. Although I enjoy seeing her in a state where she has no power over her body still her feisty nature is something I relish too. The doctor has checked her again. According to him, she won’t be opening her eyes anytime soon.I asked him to administer a sedative to her. I cannot have her create a scene while we get off the plane. The media is already too interested in our family affairs. This whole affair of engagement night was a huge headline on the TV and with seph’s family dead the whole thing had landed our family in the spotlight. They had cov

Hades POVAt the mansionFlora came running towards me when I entered the mansion. My light in the darkness. My beautiful spring. I kissed her head.“Me ékanes tóso charoúmeni me tin epistrofí sou” she said. Her eyes glimmered with happiness; no sign of the previous worry evident. (You have made me so happy by coming back)“Boró na káno ta pánta gia séna flóra. To xéreis aftó.” I replied looking in her eye making sure that she understands that this is a promise I can never break. (I can do anything for you flora. You know this.)“Mom was waiting for you too” She stepped to the side and revealed my stepmother. I have no reason to hate her. She has never been the typical stepmother. But she is not my real mother hence the use of the first name on my part. She remains clad in black, a symbol of mourning.When she moved a step further, I took a hold of her arms gently. She kissed my cheek. A ceasefire. A submission to the power I now owned. A step into loyalty. “Hades, it’s good to have

Flora’s POVWho was Claudia talking about at the dinner? Who was she referring to?Who has Adelfos taken back? Taming? Was he joking? The bell rang indicating that another lecture had ended without me paying no attention to whatever was the teacher saying. (Brother)Its like she has been babbling for the last thirty-five minutes. Non-Stop.A sigh escaped my lips.I have to ask someone for notes. I hate asking for notes.Finally, the bell rang indicating that the lecture is finally over.I stretched my limbs and looked out of the window. Winter will be here soon. There is something so nostalgic about it. Something that makes up remember and makes you sad. My father once played with me in the snow. It was…….“Did you bring any food?” Stavros’s question startled me. I would have fallen if not for my strong reflex.“Oh Gosh! I was going to fall” I glared at him with accusing eyes. Of course, he would have laughed even if I had fallen.“It is not my fault that you are daydreaming. Did you

Seph’s PovI feel as if I have been sleeping for a long long time. How much longer I don’t know. Something in me feels broken. Shattered to pieces.My eyelids were matted so it took a lot of internal power to open them. Darkness surrounded me. The same way it has surrounded my heart.I was laying on something soft. It was Not a bed. The lack of bedsheets and comforter proved so. It suddenly reminded me of the chills that the cold night was giving me. I felt frozen from the cold. I tried to cover myself but couldn’t. What I wearing was given with a reason. It was to make me feel cold.Whoever chose the wardrobe seriously has some fascination with revealing clothes.This dress did not allow me even a bit of modesty. My cleavage was visible and my stomach was just under the soft net fabric. I felt like a bride ready to be at the service. A small cloth attached to a string kept my genitals a little covered. A long white ribbon was attached to the front of the dress beneath the cleavage. I

Jace’s PovWe will be landing in Athens soon. To say that the flight had been terrible would be an understatement. It was complete hell. My mental health is at wits. I have the boy Hades demands. Thank God Eros had a doctor with him otherwise I would have been delivering a dead body.I rubbed my forehead with my fingers. I am having a crushing headache. I hate things like this related to children. I drew my line there years ago.The black screen in front of me took me to places I would rather avoid. Even with a private jet, it was a long distance to Athens from here.With all the situation going on it felt as if time was moving with the speed of a turtle.Weird.At our happy moments we want to time to become like this. That it slows down and never passes. But at the time calamity we want it to race pasts us. The truth is its never takes the speed we desire. It keeps on moving at the pace it wants.If it would have been at or beck and call, we would be living the moments with our loved

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. I do not want anyone to eavesdrop.”I followed her because I don’t know what to do now. She closed the door behind
