Fires Within Fires CHAPTER 35
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

Seph’s POV:“Leave me. Hades Leave me” He dragged me through the rough patches of the forest without even thinking that I was barely dressed. I clawed at his hands to lighten but that only made him drag me with more force.The blood from my injured foot left a trail in the dark forest. With the gip he has on my hair, it feels like they are being torn from my roots leaving my scalp on fire. Not only that he has my child killed now he wants to torture me too.I grabbed a nearby tree showing him that I refused to be treated like such. A beast-like growl emerged from his mouth and a moment later I was punished for my rebellion. A sharp sound rang in the silent night as he backhanded e with such a face that left me sprawled on the moist land.Something cold and wet dripped from my burning lip. I touched it with my shaking fingertip. Fresh blood sat on my fingers. More tears emerged in my eyes. In a swift moment, he took a hold of my arm in an iron grip and started dragging me again.With m

Seph’s POV:“No one Hades, no one helped me that night” I told him because this was the truth. The ones who could help me were dead.He gritted his teeth in anger. “seph this will not work. I want the truth. Without someone’s help, you could have never been able to fly out of this country with a small child. Give me the name seph.”With tears in my eyes, I begged him to believe me. Why would I tell a lie now? I am bruised battered shattered from inside. I have nothing left.“No one hades believe me no one” apparently my wailing did not affect him. He grabbed my head from the back and threw me into the sea. I was not even given time to grasp oxygen so water poured into my mouth fervently. I tried getting out but the weight at the back of my head kept me from doing so. It was getting harder to breathe.So much water and cold. In no time water started filling in and just when I thought I was going to lose consciousness he pulled me out. My body dragged the precious air inside. I will di

Seph’s POV:The room was so bright that my eyes hurt from it. Exhaustion lay deep on my body but so did the heavy unknown weight on my body too. I was held by strong arms from behind. Muscles kept me caged in place. It was not too hot but it sure felt comfy. I was laying on something soft and an equally fluffy thing was draped over me.Suddenly A phone went off behind me and the weight lifted from me. I felt emptiness but I was too groggy and tired to even move. A name was said in a threatening tone “Jace”My foot throbbed with a dull ache and I closed my eyes willing the pain to go away. A moment later a knock on the door came. I couldn’t see who it was because I facing the other way from the door towards the large window.Feet shuffled and the door was opened because the question was asked by the intruder. “Ti?” the sleepy yet angry and irritated voice asked. (What?)I kept my attention on the talk to see what is the fuss about. Even though something kept pulling me under I tried my

Hades POV“And what about the guard?” I asked. This was the main part. How was a trained man killed by a frail woman?“The maids said the doctor had asked him to keep an eye on her because she was the risk. But when they entered again, he was dead and the gun was in her hand.” This was all then. Because there is only one place in the house where there are no cameras. Her room. Keeping her recent actions in view, the cameras must be installed there too. I will see to it.A woman in her sixties greeted us inside the house. Even her posture screamed loyalty and years of work for the family. With a slight bow she greeted me “I am seline, Kýrie. The breakfast table has been set up as per the request. She is waiting for you there. If you could follow me Kýrie” (sir)The house was warm, a refuge from the hostile frostiness of the forest outside. She sat on the seat left to the head on the large dining table. It was more than five years that I had not seen her and saying that she had aged lik

3rd POVRoxanne stood up with great difficulty. When she was just about to fall, Hades scooped her up. Where Hades was sweating under the coat because of how warm the house was kept A light shiver encapsulated her body. She did not utter a single word. They never had a typical aunt-nephew relationship. They were like friends. Hades climbed the stairs and took her to her room. The walls of the room were bare, providing no peek into the personal life. No pictures were hung which could give the sign that maybe she had made an effort to personalize it. Sickness hung in the air. An oxygen mask lay on the bedside table with several medicines with a glass full of water. Hades sat her on the bed and picked one of the blister packets of pills. It read Xanax. He turned around and found that she hasn’t moved an inch. She stared into nothingness. Hades took a seat on the nearby couch.“Aren’t you going to congratulate me Anne?” he asked. The use of the nickname after five years did not startle

Fury was pasted on Hades' face as he exited the house. Carlos was on his heels behind him. Hades did not stop until they had reached the car. He quickly slammed his hand at the car. With his bruised hand he pulled out the cigarette packet and lighted one. With long drags, he inhaled the poison. He had expected to see some remorse but there was not even a flick of it. She had chosen her side that night and she is standing by it. There was a time when he had loved her passion. Even when her sunken cheekbones were once high because of her cheerful nature she was adamant.His hands itched with the need to burn something.“Your friend called to say that he is back at the main house”Yes, Hades thought. He now has something he could actually burn.“Ask him to take him to the basement. To that room”Back at the mansionHades headed for the basement as soon as they reached the main house. It was a whole world beneath the family estate. It was the world of crime. What was better than to keep

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 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 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

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.

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?

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.
