Fires Within Fires CHAPTER 47
Seph’s Pov”Two days have passed since Hades left me here. My foot was a little bit better and now I could get up and walk without needing anyone’s arm to steady me or feeling nauseous. I limped around the house, it hurt but it was better than having anyone so close to my personal space. This reminded me of what the doctor told me in the morning. He had said that I would have felt if I take medicines.I had refused to take them after the first morning. I welcomed the pain that had become my akin. The medicines made me drowsy and I wanted to explore the place so I could get a way out not waste my time sleeping it off and miss the opportunity that Hades is not here.Jace did not come back. I had hoped that he would be back soon and I could get to know more about everything. Maybe I could find a way out of all this. He could become my connection to the outer world. I do not know what is happening beyond these walls. There is no electronic device here. If there were any now there remains

Hades entered the dark room. A million thoughts resided in his head and the tiredness of the last two days laid havoc on him. At least all the matters are looked into for now. There had been no breaking-ins in other clubhouses since his men eliminated every rival member who infiltrated his property. Steps were taken to end any sex trafficking business going on. His drugs business thrived once again and, in a few days, a large shipment will be handed over according to the deal.Flora would easily look after her. Anne’s condition got better. Nothing out of place. Everyone where they are supposed to be Hades thought.He was exactly where he was supposed to be.The moonlight stretched its legs faintly over the windows illuminating the figure perched on the bed. He loved seeing her in clothes that left her naked for him. Easily accessible.Hades took off his coat removed his gun and threw it on the chair. His footsteps were loud in the otherwise silent atmosphere but Seph didn't even move.

The morning greeted her with the sound of birds singing outside. Last night's moments came rushing back. She quickly tensed. Why had she initiated the kiss? Her mind had no answer for that. It was all the fever and helplessness she had felt before her arrival.Her injured foot was trapped under the foot of Hades. She could feel a weird irritation in that foot so she slowly took it from under him. She stilled when it reminded her of the last night. The doctor. He shot at his foot because of her. He had been sweet to her. But then revealed her monstrous side.She couldn’t bear being close so she slowly dragged her out from the uncomfortable covers. The floor felt cold under her foot and she relished the coolness but it didn’t last long as an arm snaked around her and pulled her back to her previous position.“Where are you going?” There was no anger in his voice. The musky sleep-fueled voice had a pure question in it. Can she use it all in her favor? The previous night's actions. Everyt

The breakfast was exquisite. From Ladenia to sesame bread rings and sfakianopita. The table was adorned. Hades didn’t leave which definitely meant that he was going to have breakfast here. Soon maids had erupted from the kitchen carrying all the traditional Greek breakfast dishes. I look like a docile woman just to the left of the man sitting on the head seat. Cliché.I had no interest in eating breakfast just after that gut-wrenching news. So, I broke the absolute silence with my proclamation.“Your friend came to visit me” He was devouring the flatbread easily cutting a knife through the tomatoes glued to it. If he was surprised, he didn’t show it.“Who?” There was no curiosity. It was just a plain question. Sometimes I think he is like a wall. No expressions most of the time.“He said he was Jace”“He was excited to meet you. I didn’t know he would come straight here” He cleaned his mouth with the napkin. “You should try to befriend him then perhaps he would let you meet his girl.

Behind her, Carlos nodded in affirmation. She took a drink from the second glass and then kissed him. Her lips came on him with a gentle smack and he settled her hips with his free hand. Hades could taste the scotch on her lips. Her fingers went to his hair and she deepened the kiss.“How many?”“Seven. I heard them talking”“Who?”“I couldn’t see their faces but I know one of them was Mr. Stephan”“Are you sure?” he asked for confirmation because Stephan's fate is dependent on her words. He will die tonight if she says it’s him and her next words said without any pause sealed that man’s fate.“100%”From afar he saw Stephan stopping by Carlos. He eyed her over the shoulder of the girl. Stephan's eyes widened.With his cold fingers, he grasped her right breast and pressed the sensitive skin of her nipple. She moaned. “For Drugs?” He asked because his lips were not visible behind her blonde hair.“Yes”“Your name?”She hesitated a little as her breaths became shallow “Aria, Afentiko” H

Hades Pov:The mansion basked in the dim lights of the poles as his car slowly made its way towards the entrance. Once he had vowed never to set foot in this house again. Once or twice? The inner voice called out. Twice.He had come to a realization long ago that it cannot be his home anymore. Atrocities are committed beneath these floors. Blood wells up from here. It is he that will not let it become a home.I took the gun from my pocket and checked the bullets inside. Only one missing. It is enough to remove his existence. He will burn all the waste from the past. The ashes are all he desires.“Bring him to the father’s room” fully knowing that the order would be met with no delay. He took the staircase to the left wing. Flowers decorated the railings and covered adequate spaces. West-wing was a private place for the head of the family. Family members couldn’t reside there, the east wing was allocated to them.Usually, they wouldn’t stay here together. Each one of them had their own

Seph’s POV:Tuesday morning was an eventful one. As soon as I had woken up Maids ushered me to take a bath. I thought it was all unnecessary keeping in view that it’s just morning and whatever the party Hades was taking it was an evening event or maybe a night one. When I asked them about the time that’s when I got to know that I should also be on my toes. It was noon.The whole afternoon was wasted in grooming and making me look less like a battered wife. It was probably all for keeping up faces. He wants to be in his arm like a beautiful trophy he had attained. The thing he had always wanted to do.My eyes opened as the maids bought a Navy blue embroidered net dress. The straps snaked at the back leaving my cleavage in view. The sparkle of it dimmed the whole room. Everything else was cheap in front of it. I caught the wall feeling a rush of emotions passing through my brain.This dress. The color is everything. It was meant to catch attention and the person wearing it would become

Hades who was walking just beside me stopped with me. His furious eyes burned me and my heart was pacing on a rhythm of its own.They had asked me about my father’s killer. I want to tell them that he walking beside me pretending to be something he is not. He is weaving my life in his lies.The paparazzi were still blurting questions at an unstoppable speed. Irritation buzzed on his face but he did the exact opposite. With an arm around my back and his other hand on my neck, he kissed me in front of them all.The media broke loose. Each of them shares the scene in their words with the channels. For them, it was a token of love that we shared. Hades broke it after just a second but slightly whispered ‘Walk’ before threading our hands and walking me towards the entrance.A breath a sigh of relief as the loud voices finally cut off. Beads of sweat accumulated on my neck and I shivered.“You will pay for that later Seph” H seethed at me.“Hades please give me a moment to compose” My foot

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
