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

Rachael was perched outside the door of the study waiting for the two lovebirds inside to go through whatever squabble it was that they were having. The look that Hernandez had on his face when he walked in had irritated her so much, she had considered pulling out her knife and slitting his throat right there and then but she had chosen restraint instead. In a way, he had every right to be skeptical about everything, after all she was also skeptical about everything.She had no idea if Rafael was telling the truth or not. When she had seen his face in the club something had shifted inside her, a feeling which she didn’t quite understand. His face seemed very familiar and for some reason she felt her body instantly warm to him. None of it made any sense to her but that was what she was here to do, make sense of everything. Her being this close to him would definitely reveal everything there was to know and he certainly was very open about his plans.Hermes was definitely not a saint to

ATHENAA lot is eating at the back of my mind as I storm out of their presence and head downstairs. The house felt quite choking right now and all I wanted was to feel the fresh air from outside on my skin. Everything that they did was proving to be extremely irritating to me and I didn’t know how to feel about any of this. Tears were threatening to drop from my eyes but I was desperately fighting to keep it all in. There was no way I was going to cry, certainly not in front of them. I was not going to give them the satisfaction of seeing that.It had become very obvious to me that this girl was not here to just stay and leave. She was definitely trying to rile me up with everything that she said and I didn’t know how to feel about any of that. All what she had said had been to get on my nerves and I had allowed her. It had worked effectively and here I was in the garden now basically a slobbering mess.I hated the fact that I had become this unrecognizable person. I knew I was better

RAFAELThe whole room seemed to go completely quiet as the words came out of my mouth. She had a visible look of shock on her face, like she didn’t know what to say. All she could do was stare at me as I stood there wondering if I should even be telling her any of this. I had not been able to bring myself to say anything about what had happened to me when I was younger. When I had returned, I had kept everything to myself because I was too scared to talk to anyone.My mother had tried her hardest to get it out of me but she had failed. I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the details of what I went through in that place. I had tried my hardest to forget about everything but it had been close to impossible for me to do that. Some nights, I woke up screaming and crying from nightmares that haunted me.There was a time she walked into the room and I was curled up in a corner bawling my eyes out because I could still hear the voices in my head. For months after I was back, I found it extre

Hermes’s phone rang for what must have been the tenth time that day and he ignored it once again. There he was, sat in his dark office, a bottle of whiskey on his table and a glass in his hand. He hated drinking but recently with everything that was going on, he found himself drinking more and more. It was very obvious to anybody that paid enough attention that this whole business with Rafael was proving to be much more than he could handle. He was still trying to process everything that had been going on in the past few days.He sat there thinking about where he must have gone wrong with everything and what steps he could have taken to prevent the current predicament which he found himself in. The more he thought about it, the less thoughts that seemed to be coming into his head. Hermes was used to being the one holding all the power and influence but for the first time in a very long time, he seemed to be completely powerless against this foe of his.His organization was being torn
