Flora moaned that she is hungry and her sister seconded her so we were off to eat lunch. Again, it was a too expensive one. Claudia asked if she could just give touch to my face and I agreed. I was embarrassed because I don’t know what the people at the shop would think of me.It’s been too long since I last wet to a restaurant. I think I have even forgotten how does it feel to sit in them. A strange hustle and bustle. People coming and going.It feels a little strange to me.Furthermore, I have never been to a restaurant this expensive. It screams that only the rich can afford it.They ordered and I excused myself to the restroom. My hand clasped on my mouth as soon as I entered.I was going to shout loud but the intruder said “Hey it’s me Pavlos”I nodded. He removed his hand. He removed the hood of his jacket and dark ginger hair popped out. A faint stubble on his jaw made him attractive.He looked at me for a moment and then as if shaking it all of he said.“Anyone can come in her

Seph’s POV:Another day has passed since Pavlos contacted me. He has not initiated any contact. Even if I lie on the bed I cannot sleep and I am anxious. Days passed in this weird room which I have come to know previously belonged to Hades.Flora’s visits have declined because she has to attend school. I rubbed at my finger feeling alone once again. Why does it itch so much?My morning evening and night are spent in this room locked up. There is nowhere to go as the door to the terrace is kept locked. I realized that the night Hades burnt his initial on my finger he had done it on that terrace.If that door was opened, I would have jumped from there. I shook my head at the thought. Pavlos will help me. I have to fight, not give in like a coward.Hades had not visited me even once. After the day we went to choose the wedding dress, I was simply guided back to the room and I haven’t even once gone outside.They must be making preparations for the wedding. More than a thousand dollars we

“What are you doing to yourself?”He pointed toward my hand. This time I looked down. The white small gauze on my hand had flicks of blood on it. While the nail of my right hand was still embedded into it, I felt no pain.“This is not the way out” He stood up and removed the invisible dust. “It cannot be. If you want you can share it with me. I want sent to talk”I didn’t answer. I was not going to. I have no reasons to talk with him.“I hope you understand that talking can bring healing.” He stood up. “I must get going now. I have more patients to attend to”He opened his briefcase and took the pill bottle out. “Perhaps a change in medicine could help you” He put them on the table and knocked on the door.“Think about the choices he gives miss seph because there is no way out and all your plans are bound to fail. He asked me to relay the message that he would be here soon”The door opened, the man outside gave me a look and went away. My plans are about to fail. He will be here soon.

“There are no games seph” He came forward and soft lips touched mine. “If you could open your eyes and see” A whimper rose in my throat. My eyes have been open all this time. His threats glare I endured all of it. The bad in him speaks so much louder that I cannot see what he wants me to. For me, this is the reality.“You did all of this to avoid marrying me” I braced myself for the anger. “That was expected so I don’t blame you”I was left starstruck by his proclamation.“You cannot escape this seph. It will happen. The sooner you accept it the better.” I looked away from him.“We are in the resort; you can explore it if you want, we will be getting married here tomorrow. All the preparations have been made.”“I just want to sleep,” I said and was ready to lie down. Again, all doors have been closed for me.He kissed my head “Okay. You must get your energy up for tomorrow”“Stay” This time I did not reach for his arm. I wanted him to because I have asked him.He looked at me searchin

Hades’s POV:The beach lounge looked over the dazzling dark blue water of cosmopolitan Athens Rivera. Hades busied himself with looking over the rim of the beer he drank seldom. His preference stayed with wine but for the night he had chosen Beer. It seems to fit with the beach scenario as he sitting in his soft pants and a shirt. Unusual just like his choice of drink tonight.The soft sound of waves would come now and then as the water reaches the shore to reach out for anything that was there. He was far away from that and water would never reach him. He felt relaxed. Except for a few problems here and there everything was going according to plan.Tomorrow will bring a new change. Change in their relationship. There will be a name to it. How odd! At first, he had thought he would keep her like a whore. It was so easy. He would have enjoyed seeing her passing drinks off to customers in those mini dresses.She deserved it for making him search for her for so many years.But all of it

“An enemy?” She asked.“The friend of an enemy. One who wants answers”“Sure, he can if he answers ours” She smirked.“If it is an open night, I need a partner.”“Carlos will go with you” Hades said.“Interesting” Claudia muttered.“Just pin the target nothing else. No blood tonight,” he ordered.“I understand, consider it done” Hades is confident that if a task is handed to her no matter what happens she completes it.“What about tomorrow?” For tomorrow he has something planned and he needs Claudia for that too.“What for it?” “Oh. Your equipment will be here. Don’t worry”“You will go in with that till the end?” There was the need to ask this from Hades. Thanos had the same thing in mind but he hadn’t mentioned that.“Till the end” He repeated her words.SEPH’s POV“Why did you do that seph?” He has the audacity to ask me. Why is he here now? Hades must have sent him again.“Get out” I snarled at him.“What” He came forward, the food cart left forgotten in the background. “Why?”

“So what was his reaction? I mean he is the real killer so who is this person? Did he try to find him?” He took my arms in a grip. I felt uncomfortable with his sudden reaction so I shuffled out of it.“No, I don’t know” I said a little bit shocked at his sudden interest and reaction. “He never searched for him?” He pressed for answer. Why is he asking like this?“I don’t know Pavlos but he never talked about that ever again” I told him.“It means he has an enemy. We can try finding out about him but we have only one night if we want to save you from being chained to him. This thing cannot help us”“You will be there tomorrow, right? At the ceremony, right?” He gave me a questioning look “You are a reporter. You would be covering the event?”“No, I am not on duty. But If I call in favor I can manage that”“What if I tell the truth tomorrow right before the vows?” This is the perfect plan.“Sep-““Important people must be invited there just like the party a few days ago.

The day was here. The white wedding dress was glamorous and elegant. The dress was everything a girl would wish for on a wedding day. It was off-shoulder but not revealing at all. The hairdresser curled my hair and another woman hangs diamond earrings in my ear.My reflection stared back at me while the chatter goes on in my back. I have no family but the woman of his one is here in my as per the tradition.I briefly closed my eyes and prayed to God to help me throughout this. Give me strength so my steps do not falter and I get my life back. They took my wedding shoe and wrote the name of all the unmarried girls on the sole.Women and girls are in the room. Their faces bloomed as one of the women I don’t know finished writing the names and helped me in my shoes. “You look like a princess” Flora exclaimed from behind me. “You know we decorated your wedding bed” She blushed as she informed me.The shyness was something I could have related to once in my life but now it made me cringe i

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
