“Don’t bring her into this, don’t compare-” The vein bulged out as the anger started creeping on his face. Furious eyes yearned to burn me.“Why because she is a fucking princess and my Ayl-”The slap took a moment to register. “You are blind inside and out. I am telling you this once. Remember that she is a favor from me. A wedding gift. For you. If I had wanted her gone you would have died with the dream to see her.” There came his threats again. I knew that. He will always blackmail me using her.“The matter is closed now. Strip”I looked at him with horror and astonishment. What does he mean by that? This is not happening tonight. Nothing of the sort.I moved back a step. “Why are you afraid now? A moment ago, you were so kept to speak. Speak all you want in the bed.”No this is not happening!I turned towards the door but he stopped me too easily. He had fucking slapped me a moment ago. What does he expect from me?His lips assaulted mine. The dominance hit me like an unforgiving

Caludia’s POV:Everyone was enjoying the party downstairs so no one noticed as I pulled Carlos outside. “Drive me to this hotel” I said to him. On his blank face came a questioning frown but after looking at my face and seeing that I was dead serious he walked towards the garage. I was walking behind him. His abs visible through the tight white shirt he wore fueled my desires. Oh, what I yearn to do with his body. He will see tonight.Shortly we reached the hotel and I asked him to leave me at my room since I was feeling a little tipsy. By his way of walking, I could see that the drug I had slipped had also started to take effect. I handed him the key to my room and he opened it. I tugged him by his sleeve dragged him in the room.I was going to fulfill my desire tonight. All the nights and dreams I have masturbated thinking of him will be completed. He wanted to protest but no word came out of his mouth. I closed the door behind him and locked it with the key I had taken from his han

Seph’s POVMy teeth chattered but I refused to give in. I do not know what I am looking like right now but I feel ugly. My tears have dried. Now the cold water from the shower is falling on my face leaving trails like that of tears.I am still wearing that cursed wedding dress I had tethered to pieces. It floats in the water and feels like cotton submerged. I refuse to curse out loud. He had the power over me so he did all this. There was no use in screaming.The thought that I should drown myself came easily last night. But the fact he knows and I know also is that I will never try dying when I have got to know that my Ayla is alive.How beautiful it seems. I forget the cold surroundings as soon as the thought comes to my mind that my daughter is alive.This time tears came. I am so much thankful to God. I could face anything if it means that in the end, I get to see her. I want to hold her in my arms for a long. To feel that she is whole. By my side again.But the sudden guilt surr

Hades entered the Decardo family mansion. He was on a tight schedule so without taking any detours he went straight to the place he was meant to be. Here, in the hospital and then seph’s place; life is sure to keep him on his toes.He climbed the stairs and straight headed towards the door to Alex’s room. Maybe this time he will get to know about the people who have been plotting against it. There had been whispers and echoes of their planning around the city.And then there was the task of finding out who took Alex and kept him chained. His real mother was also unknown. Maybe Alex had remembered something after waking up. This will surely give them a clue about the person who tried to strangle him.Faint whispering could be heard outside. Hades opened the door and saw a strange scene being played out. Lara was consoling Alex as Flora seemed to me to be crouching alongside the bed focused on Alex and what was being said.She had stood for him before and now this. It seems that everyon

I ended up not going to the library. She was not giving me good vibes. All the maids were forced to stand here with their hands bound but she strolled freely. She was someone important. I asked her whether I could look around the house.I felt uncomfortable in her company and I wanted to escape as soon as possible.“Sure, you can Miss seph, but don’t try anything,” she said pointing towards the gun she just pulled out from somewhere. Her title was mocking. The look on her face told me that she wants me to do something weird so she can try out the gun.Will she really shoot me? Will Hades let her?I shook my head in denial. No, he doesn’t want me dead. At least that is confirmed. He wants me to suffer. if he had not wanted me to live I would have been six feet under.I stood up and quietly ascended the stairs. Each one of the houses he had taken me to has stairs while the family house had a more antique design this house was the definition of modern architecture. It screamed money and

Two days passed but still, there was no sign of him. Not that I wanted him to show up here. It was in the middle of the night when the voices woke me up. Ayla was sleeping so I got up silently. I removed a little bit of the curtain and looked out of the window. It was not on the front side so I was not able to get a complete view but I could see a little bit if I turned.There were about three to four cars outside of the premises of the house. I quickly stumbled back seeing Carlos. “Is Hades here?” I asked myself.Suddenly there was a small commotion in the house. Maids were talking as if some important task has been given to which they must also bear confidentiality.What is it? If Hades is here as well, I will not go. But if there is something else. There was no sign of him anywhere near the cars.I moved towards the door and opened it a little bit so I could hear what was happening. I had the feeling that it was a hushed-up matter. Footsteps could be heard approaching so I shut of

I have no interest in Life. Simply because it has given me nothing to look forward to. Miserable. Empty and sorrowful. It has driven me to madness.This is the thing I have been rewarded for being alive.The very next day Hades came into my room as if to sprinkle salt over my wounds. He took a seat on the couch. I didn’t move from where I was sitting on the bed but Ayla skipped off the bed and rushed toward him.She kept looking at him. When he noticed the silence, he looked up from his phone as if he was also expecting her to say something.I was too amazed at her reaction. Before I could even decipher something, he raised her questioning eyebrow and she seemed to understand that as well. They were behaving as if they know each other well. As if they had been talking to each other for some time now.“I wanted to Thank you for the dress” she blurted out and from here I could see the pink started to tint her cheeks.“You’re welcome,” he said politely but face being as serious as ever.

“Poiá eínai aftí” (Who is she?)“Eínai sýzygos tou Ser Ádi” (She is wife of Sir Hades)“I kóri tou Ántrian?” she said in a surprising tone. (Adrian’s daughter?)I looked at her and searched my memory whether I had seen her before. No, she was not at all familiar. But somehow, she had recognized me. Since she was speaking in Greek I thought I should ask her in the same language.“Pós ton gnorízeis?” I asked shocked. (How do you know him?)It confirmed her suspicion. Then it was gone and she laughed. It was not a laugh of happiness or sadness. It was hysterical.“Kyría Eíste kalá” Aria asked worriedly. She did not respond and at last, wiped the tears that had come out of laughing. (Madam Are you fine)“Eísai skýla pou ton pantréftikes metá apó óla aftá pou pérase” she seethed. (You are a bitch for marrying him after all that he went through)“Párte to deípno mou píso sto domátió mou.

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

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
