RAFAEL“They will be out any minute now and that’s when we are going to strike.” Hernandez said to me, “Are you ready?”“You already know I am.”He was crouched beside me peering out of binoculars at the warehouse in front of us. We were both dressed in black and I reached for the pistol behind me to check it one more time. The silencer was fixed and it was fully loaded, the plan was to get in as quickly as possible without making too much noise.This was one of the warehouses which was on Hermes’s list. We had already hit two of them and had found a variety of things in them ranging from drugs to weapons and everything you could think of. Hernandez had not been joking when he said Hermes had his hands mixed in almost everything I could think of in one way or another. I had not believed at first but now it was hard to dispute it, the man was indeed truly sick.I now knew how he made his money and this was my chance to attack it from the shadows. It was very obvious that he wasn’t the

ATHENAI had been locked in the room for close to two days now. Rafael’s face when I walked into the house kept on playing in my head, he was genuinely angry at me and the fact that he didn’t even say anything about it made things tremendously worse. I hated how it made me feel, it felt like I had been struck by a bolt of lightning that pierced directly through my heart.The fact that he didn’t even let me talk or defend myself was even worse for me. He didn’t want me to even say a word to him and he hadn’t bothered to talk to me ever since the incident. I understood his anger totally, of course he was going to be angry. After all I ran away from him and his guards, there was no way for him to know where I was or if I would even return. It was enough to send anybody into a state of anger but then he should have allowed me the opportunity to even talk about it.There was a perfectly good explanation for everything if he was even willing to hear it but from the looks of things, it was o

Hermes kept on walking around his office completely furious about everything that was going on. Rafael was proving to be a bigger thorn in his flesh than the thought would be possible. The boy was actually making moves behind the scenes which were seriously hurting Hermes’s business. The confrontation with Juan about the warehouse was only the first of many. Other complaints had been flying in from literally everywhere, facilities were being hit from everywhere.At first Hermes had thought that there was a mole in the organization and had tried his best to root out those he thought would be the mole. At some point he even considered Hernandez a threat that needed to be put down but then he advised himself against it. It became obvious to him that the places which were being hit were not places that would be known by just anybody. They were key parts of his organization, where he made a lot of his financial investments.Warehouses filled with drugs, guns, money and everything were bein

ATHENAMy eyes fluttered open, as I found myself staring up at a sterile, white ceiling. I blinked my eyes rapidly, trying my best to adjust to the new influx of light that was coming in. My vision was extremely blurring and a wave of dizziness was threatening to render me unconscious again. My hands instinctively went straight for my head to feel it, there was a sharp, pounding resounding pain that didn’t seem to know when to stop.I groaned softly as I tried my best to sit up, pushing myself by my elbows. My mouth was extremely dry and my limbs felt really heavy like they were completely submerged in water. Every piece of movement seemed to push me to new levels of pain and everything was proving to be really exhausting.Looking around, I tried to make sense of everything that was around me. It was obvious I was no longer in the house as I tried to stare out of the large window that was always in the bedroom when I woke up but it was nowhere to be found. The room I was in was quite

RAFAELMy face looked like it had just seen a ghost, that was because it actually just had. There were so many questions running through my head as I turned around and my eyes landed on her face.“Rachael.” I voiced out in complete shock,She was the last person I expected to see here, in fact I didn’t expect her to be here at all. There was no way the girl who I thought had died all those years ago was standing right in front of me, holding a knife to my face and threatening to kill me.Her face looked much older, she had aged beautifully. She had on a hoodie that sort of covered her face a little but then I could remember that face anywhere. It had appeared in my dreams too often for me to even forget her.“How?” I asked, “How are you here?”There was a shake in my voice as I stood there stuttering. I had not been scared at first when the knife was placed behind me in the club, I had half expected for Hermes to go through this route and was ready for whatever that came with it. But

Hermes ran his hand through his silver streaked hair, as he paced back and forth in his dimly lit office. The sound of his footsteps echoed all through the house, he had sent off the remainder of his guards, to him they were just a bunch of incompetent wannabes. He had sourced for reinforcement from the people that he had chosen with his own hand. It was very hard to find real help these days, if it wasn’t then they definitely would not have let Juan storm into his heavily defended house like it was nothing.The whole office was a mess, as papers lay everywhere and there were bottles of whisky laid out on the floor. Hermes had not bothered to clean it for days now, there were other pressing thoughts that filled his mind and the state of his office was definitely not one of them.A hint of frustration was beginning to show in both his stride and his voice, nothing seemed to be going according to plan anymore and he had no idea how to handle everything. Sending in Rachael to take out Ra

ATHENAMy eyes turned to the clock which was hanging on the wall in a corner in the house. It was almost the night of the next day and Rafael had not reached out ever since he dropped me off. He had said whatever he was going to do was not going to take so much time, it surprised me when he didn’t come home yesterday and now, he still wasn’t back. He had not reached out to me at all but when I asked Ella about him she had said that he was fine and had called to ask her to get something for him.I felt really pathetic when I asked her if he had mentioned anything about me, but then she said he just called to give specific instructions. None of these instructions involved me apparently, he didn’t mention me once. It was obvious that he didn’t care about me as much as wanting to know how I felt after dropping me off.None of it made any sense to me. I was trying my hardest to comprehend the sudden switch from him, after all we shared multiple moments in the hospital. We even shared conve

RAFAELMy eyes locked with Athena’s immediately the door opened up. There she stood at the bottom of the stairs. She looked like she had been waiting for me and she had her arms folded across each other. I could tell immediately from her demeanor that she was pissed. It dawned on me immediately that I had been avoiding her calls since what happened at the bar yesterday. I wondered what she must have been thinking was the reason behind me doing that, no doubt she would have come up with something in her mind.I was going to have to explain to her that a lot of things happened which was why I had not returned since yesterday when I dropped her off. The whole thing with Rachael had all happened so fast and my mind had been working overtime ever since then. I had considered dropping off Rachael at the safe house and coming back home to handle a couple of things first but then she insisted on coming along with me.According to her, it would be better for her to be as close to me as possibl

EPILOGUETHREE MONTHS LATER“He is so beautiful.” Athena said, as she lifted up their baby and spun him around in the air.The past months after the baby had come had been nothing short of magical. She couldn’t stop staring at the baby and she thought about how different her life was now from how it had been just a couple of months ago. They were at a point of peace and Rafael had magically transformed into the sweetest person on the earth. She now saw him smile a lot, especially when he played with Jaden. They had both chosen the baby’s name together after a lot of arguments. It had been a funny scene to witness but at the end of the day, they had settled for Jaden and it was a name that suited him so well.“He has my eyes so of course he is going to look beautiful.” Rafael said, as he emerged at the door of the room.He had been standing there for a while watching his mother and Athena without them knowing. They were startled at first, but at this point they had gotten used to the f

RAFAEL“Watch your step.” I said, as I held her hands and led her into the house.She had absolutely refused my offers to carry her. In her words, she felt I had done enough. On the contrary, I felt I was yet to do enough. I was not sure if I could ever do enough to compensate for everything that I had put her through in the past few months. I felt it in my heart though, I was definitely ready to make amends for everything. That was the plan.The doctor had finally agreed to discharge her from the hospital and we got back to a welcome party from my mother. She had been extremely happy over the past few days. Ever since I told her the news at the hospital about how the baby might actually be mine, I realized that the glow which she had the first time she found out that Athena was pregnant had actually returned to her face. I couldn’t be hundred percent sure if I was the father, not until the baby was here and we were able to carry out a DNA test.I could feel it in my bones though. It

ATHENAMy eyes fluttered open, as I came to. A faint beeping noise continued to ring in my head, as I steered wondering where it was coming from. My equilibrium was still off and I had no idea what was going on around me. My mind felt like it was covered by a thick fog and it was very hard to get it clear. My eyelids felt extremely heavy and it was like they were being weighed down by invisible anchors. Finally, I was able to pry them open. It took some time for my eyes to get accustomed to the lighting in the room. There was a light which shone soft and dull right above my head, casting a pale glow across the room I was in.I looked around as it took me a moment to adjust, to process the white walls of the room it was in. There was the hum of machinery all around me, that was where the constant beeping sound was coming from and that smell. It was a very distinct smell which I recognized immediately. I had spent enough time in hospitals during my mother’s hospital to be able to recogn

“Athena!” Rafael yelled, as he rushed over to her side.He had watched her fall when he came out of the car and this had taken him completely by surprise. He knew that she could already tell exactly what had happened from the moment he stepped out of the car. The stench of failure was no doubt all around him and he had thought about it all through the drive to the house. He thought about how he was going to tell her that her father was dead and he had watched as Hernandez put a bullet through his head as he was unable to do anything about it. The mere thought of telling her such a thing troubled him so deeply and it showed on his face immediately he stepped out of the car.Without him saying a word, she could already tell that the worst had happened. The look in his eyes told more words than he could ever say. Athena had felt like she was going to cry, as if a great burden had just come upon her shoulder. A burden which was too heavy for her to bear. She felt like she was going to cru

RAFAELWe finally pulled up to the house and my mother was right outside to greet us. She was so happy that we made it out, as I watched her hug Athena deeply. She checked her to ensure that she was fine while she led her into the house. I could see a deep sadness on Athena’s face even though she tried her best to hide it for my mother’s sake. I could tell that she was greatly troubled about what happened to her father. Her words in the car kept on ringing in my head. She had asked me to help him and there was only one way I knew how to.Walking past them, I headed to my room upstairs and went straight to my wardrobe to bring out my box. This was where I kept my suit and weapons which I used when I raided Hermes’s warehouses. Every time I wore it, it meant that I was about to do something which I was not essentially going to be proud of. I stared at the box for a couple of seconds as I contemplated whether or not to open it. Questions danced around in my head as I wondered if doing th

The whole room seemed to be in a sort of chokehold, as everybody’s eyes bounced around. Hermes’s arrival had been quite unexpected to all of them and they had no idea what any of this meant or what he was doing here. From the way that he had burst in, his intentions could be told to some degree though. He was standing in between his two guards who had come into the room with him and he had a smile as he stared at the meeting which was going on at the table. Rafael most especially was very surprised by all that was going on. He wasn’t sure what to make of all of this as so many questions ran through his mind.He got up and walked over to Hermes as their eyes met.“What the fuck are you doing here?” Rafael asked,“And here I was thinking that you were an honorable man that I could trust, Mr Hall.” The investor said, as he sat up and adjusted his suit. “The last thing I was expecting was that you would bring the enemy right to my doorstep after you were the one that asked for this deal t

RAFAELAll through the night leading up to this, I found myself completely unable to sleep. This was certainly not a new phenomenon for me. Sleep had managed to elude me a lot during the past few days and I desperately hoped that I would finally be able to find rest when all of this was in the past. When Athena and the baby were safe and sound, I would finally be able to rest and think about everything. I had desperately avoided thinking about what Rachael had told me the other day. This whole time, I had not even considered the possibility that the child that Athena was carrying could be my own in any way. Initially I had seen it as a means to carry out my revenge on Hermes.Raising the child the way which he had raised me, that was what I had planned to do. That plan had since left my head, but then, I still had never considered the possibility of the child being mine. All I had thought was that the child was Athena’s ex’s and this had pissed me off so much for a reason that I was s

ATHENAEven as I sat bound to the chair with a bag over my head impeding my vision, the whole scene at the restaurant kept on playing in my head. I had seen the bullet go through Rachael as she slumped to the ground along with the gun which she had trained to my back. The whole thing had happened so fast and even though I had tried my best to get to Rafael, especially after hearing him screaming my name out loud, I wasn’t able to. I couldn’t get to him before the van pulled up beside me and the men tossed me in. As I sat in the room, I could still feel their presence all around me. I wondered who they were and nobody had bothered to tell me anything ever since we got to wherever this was. They had not spoken to me directly despite all the questions I threw their way. I was in a world where I knew no one and I struggled so hard to comprehend what was going on.I was sure of one thing though, these were completely different people from Rachael’s men. When we first got here, I had though

RAFAELWe all rode in silence as we headed to my house. Rachael was bleeding in the back seat and I had instructed one of my men to tend to her wounds. She kept staring at me without saying a word, but I could tell from the frown on her face that she was not pleased by anything that was going on. When I had offered her my assistance when she lay on the floor bleeding, she had initially tried to fight me. It had not been so much of a fight as her hand was not of so much use. The bullet was still lodged in there and I had already called the family doctor to meet me up at the house to perform a quick removal of it. The wound didn’t look entirely nasty and I was sure she was going to live through it.Hermes was not too pleased about my decision to keep her alive and he made this expressly clear. Even when I tried to place her in the back of the car, he expressly denied and insisted that he was not going to ride with someone who had been responsible for putting his daughter in harm. I coul
