2024-10-29 19:42:56Seph’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

I was drying my hair as we were back in the room and Hades was putting on his shirt behind me. Occasionally he would pass me a smirk and I couldn’t help but feel shy.We talked lightly about some things here and there at the dinner table.His phone went off and he picked it up. He did not utter even a single word and just listened to what was being said.When the phone call ended, he covered my hand with his “We are going back”I nodded but deep down I was feeling both sad and happy. Sad because I did not want this period to end and happy because I can be with Ayla again.So, we left for Athens in the morning. In the plane when we were both alone hades said “There is something wrong between you and Flora”My intention was not to lie at all but I was cautious. Once before he had already threatened me that he would like to keep her innocence and happiness intact.But still, I replied “Yes”“I want you to solve it as soon as possible. Let there be no misunderstandings between you both.”

3rd POV There was a tense silence in the room now. Hades looked at each one of them. This time who will come forward if he says that he will kill Alex?Will his uncle stand up to him? He hadn’t before.What will their next step be?“No harm ever from this day come to Alex. A threat against him will be a threat towards the Decardo family”Everyone turned their faces to Hades with shocked faces.“What does that mean?”“It is what you have heard. What you have understood” Hades said to his grandmother.“So, you have made your decision dear brother,” His sister remarked.Hades ignored Caludia because he was not answerable to anyone. Neither dead nor alive.But it seems like his grandmother was not one to keep quiet. This much he had expected. But he had something more shocking to reveal. Something more important would make them stick to their floor.Hades took out a file from the drawer. “What will we tell the world? Do you think you can solve-”“Lara from now onwards he is your son”The

Hades Pov:Now that Maria had left with her all issues, I turned towards the next matter at hand. This is true that one must first get the things of his circle under control and then look outside.“Alex go outside and stay with your sister”I can see that he was torn apart between staying here and leaving Roxanne as he kept looking towards her.He wanted to coplain to defy what I have said and this is the thing I detest the most.This backbone that people grow as soon as they think they can go against me. With every passing second, they will make it harder on themselves.Anne passed a worried glance towards me and then talked to Alex. “Go. Listen to what he says” she encouraged him.“You will not go anywhere, right?” his bottom lip quivered as he said those words. “Please do not go anywhere”“Never”The door closed behind him.“tell me the truth. I want to hear nothing else.” I warned her. Her lies have bought her here. Every time I thought that she was done wrong she seems to be the

Seph’s POV:What kind of a family is this? Hades wants everything to be in his hand that is why he is going to give Alex to someone who is not even his mother.Roxanne how can she claim that he is her son?What is this? That woman that met me at the grave of my parents. I know she has a connection to The Decardo family but what is she doing here? She also claimed to talk about Alex!He is so much unfortunate. He is just fifteen years old. He spent years in captivity and now he is torn between who his mother is!I caressed the face of my pretty Ayla. When she will get to know who her real parents are will, she break all relations with me?Will she be able to forgive me for keeping her under oblivion?Hades can easily fabricate documents. I somehow can convince him to form a birth certificate that will place me as her mother I could ensure that she always stays with me.This way I will not have to be worried about someone taking him. What is happening to Alex is so heartbreaking.There

Seph’s POVI went downstairs with Ayla. The house was quiet and was giving an eerie feeling. Maids and house workers also could not be seen.I hope that the matter had been sorted out.Suddenly I felt a dizzying spell. I quickly grasped the wooden railing of the stairs. I have been getting a lot of these lately. It went unnoticed by Ayla because she had already jumped on the last stair when she noticed that I have not followed her.“Mama hurry up”“I am coming,” I told her. Surely, I took my supplements but still I am not feeling alright. I looked around for someone but even Aria was not there. I do not even know the wayBut then I saw Flora coming down. She was worried, and after looking at her, I could easily say that she wasn’t even looking where she was going.“Flora, are you fine?”She looked up at me and to say that she was startled was an understatement.“Sorry, Seph I didn’t see you. I mean I was not paying attention”“No, it's fine” she looked anything but fine.“Flora” Ayla

Méchri póte tha synechíseis na skinotheteís ti zoí tis?” (You know what I am talking about. You had problem with everything she did. The friends she made, the places she went.

I want the best for her)“An ta ékanes óla aftá móno kai móno epeidí ítan i monachokóri sou giatí prospáthises na káneis dyskolíes gia to mégisto” (if you did all of this just because she was your only daughter why did you try to make difficulties for max?)“Ékana ó,ti kalýtero gia ta paidiá mou. prospáthi

Seph's Pov:I walked through the corridors that I once ran away from. That day I had first seen Alex and a man who had tried to kill him. After that day my life had become more complicated.Hades tried to prove me crazy. I closed my eyes as memories resurfaced of that night.No, he had changed. I cannot let my past cast a black shadow over my present or future. He loves me. He takes care of me.“Are you allowed to go in there?” I asked the maid who was walking in front of me. Only her heels clicking on the floor were the only sound.“Yes ma’am. Only a few of us are allowed.”“Okay,” I said.We passed the huge portraits and I felt like a mistress being presented in front of a king.I knocked on the door but no one answered. I again knocked on it and then it opened as if it wasn’t even completely closed.I entered the room and closed the door behind me. It was a very beautiful room. Everything In here seemed to have his aura. It was all according to his tastes.Somber and masculine.The

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
