Fires Within Fires CHAPTER 86
Hade had left me in here alone.To die.Goodbye mama and papa. Goodbye Ayla.The smoke from the fire was making it hard to breath and I couldn’t help byr ciugh inti the gag. It was getting harder to breathe and my eyes were my eyes.It was getting difficult to keep them open.Suddenly a black shadow came into being. I looked past the water that had gathered.Hades had come back.“Íxera óti tha ísoun edó. Símera tha se xefortothó”(I knew you would be here. Today I will get rid of you.)Suddenly guns from all sides came into view. The walls have revealed them and I felt as if they were on every side.The bomb behind my back is going to be off any moment. I looked at is but the stoic emotion that he always held still was there.My insides fluttered at the thought that in a few seconds I will be tear down to pieces.We all waited. I had closed my eyes and shut and lowered my head.The sound did not come. I was whole, complete whole and alive.I was alive. The relief was too much and I sa

A few Hours BeforeIn Roxanne’s RoomHades saw the empty alcohol bottles and the women perched on the bed. He took one of them into his hand and threw it on the floor.Anne stirred and then she sat up rubbing her eyes to see what had caused hindrance in her imaginary world. Who was too much cruel that he had made her open her eyes to the sad reality.For a minute she tried to clear her vision. And when it did she saw Hades.Of course, she thought Hades was the only one except her mother who could barge in like that and then would wake her up in this way.Her mother would have done something more weird……...“Where did you confess?” Hades shouted.She couldn’t decipher what he was talking about so. He seemed furious and anxious and his usually gelled-up hair was tousled as if he had raked his fingers many times through them.“What are you talking about?” Anne said and even her own voice was a little slurred to her. A little only. It seems that she has developed a tolerance for it. She i

Seph’s POVI wouldn't have faced all of this. But Pavlos's promise was too real. A life where there will be no threat. A man who had always stood with me despite the one who I will continue to fear.With whom I will think about a thousand times before talking.No women want such a life. This is why my step was justified.But I had put Pavlos in danger because of me again. I don't know whether is fine or not.He was also hurt and I saw him fall to the ground.A doctor entered and this is the twentieth time she had come into check for a concussion.My shoulder was dislocated and that was the only serious injury I got. I am fine and I would like to go home.“Tha me apalláxeis símera?” (Will you discharge me today?)“Ponás? Ponáei káti? Otidípote chreiasteíte?”(Are you in pain? Does something hurt? Anything you need?)I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes and groan out loud. “eímai kalá” I told her as pleasantly as I could. (I am fine)She gave a suspicious once over and then said “Tha m

Seph’s POVAround twenty men escorted me to the car, and Hades didn’t come. I don't know why, but I wanted him to come.But why?What is he to me?I believe that Pavlos is way way better than him. I want to be with him. I believe this.Am I ready to start a life with him? I mean I have met him only a few times. But he has shown me humanity. In this cruel and heartless world who helps others at the expense of his own life?He came back to me again and again. If there is a possibility of starting life anywhere else away from Hades, I want that.I will embrace that Because there I will be way beyond the world of crime and terror. My daughter will never be targeted or threatened because of her alliance with a crime family.I want such a life.The car door opened and Carlos came in. He took a seat beside me. The car started moving steadily on the road leaving the white building behind.I do not know how far we are from the mansion but this time I wanted to get there quickly.I braced my h

Seph’s POVWe were about to land and the charming blue sea below us dazzled with uncertain limits. I have never seen such a view before. I have never been to Crete before. My father was always busy or on some work so we actually never got out of Athens much.The jet landed and the sea breeze greeted me. It was salty yet refreshing but I could also sense the warm weather.We took a car from there and I was already exhausted. Maybe it was the meds they had given me at the hospital. I was glad that my shoulder was not dislocated but still it hurt when I used it too often.The nurses had said that it was badly bruised but it will heal.I have stopped being surprised at the fact that Hades family has such beautiful villas and mansions. This time the villa they took me to had a private beach attached to it.A person can easily walk a few steps and then step into the water. This place seemed too beautiful to be real.Inside the flowers were kept fresh and they added more beauty to the scene.

Seph’s POV:We walked with hands in hands. I loved how my floral off-shoulder maxi dress fluttered under the breeze. It felt amazing to be under the sun for this long.We walked and walked. It was not tiring at all. Something about my hand in his as we walked just like normal people do. I never imagined he would do this with me.I never imagined any of this. Something inside of me wants to be with him. Stay close to him.I looked at him walking leisurely beside me and I couldn’t take my eyes off him.We stopped when we reached a place from where we could get a view of the shops below and then the impending pure blue sea.It was a simple restaurant. Nothing too fancy. Chairs and tables under the umbrella and the company of someone whom you had come with.“I will order,” he said and went into the shop behind. I looked at our surroundings. There were not many people. Here and there some tourists c

Seph’s POV:“There you are” Aria came from around the corner. “I was just going to wake you up”.“I -I was coming but accidentally stumbled into it”“That is fine. The maids will clear this up”She took me to the breakfast table and just like always it was appetizing.“Fancy a walk,” she said and I think it was rhetorical because she already made her way outside without even listening to my reply. I followed her with my coffee in hand.She took a seat on the beach chairs and I also sat on the one beside her and here I thought we were up for a walk. Not that I wanted to go for one but still.She also sipped her coffee and I took the moment to analyze her. I think she must be in her late twenties. Her make-up is always perfect and she loves to wear heels. I could not find any crack in her from outsideBut if he is that innocent what is she doing with a mafia family? How come she got involved in all this?Honestly, I have always felt uncomfortable in her presence. She is a woman who coul

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
