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

ATHENAThe tears streamed down my face as I made my way to the room. None of what I had just heard seemed to make any sense to me. I didn’t know exactly what to make of any of the things which Rafael and his girl had just told me.Could it really be possible that my dad was all of these things that they were saying? How did I not notice this in the first place? Is it possible that they are lying to me?Question after question kept on popping into my head and I had no idea how to deal with any of it. Rafael’s face when he spoke to me in the study, his voice and his mannerism kept on playing in my head. He looked genuinely hurt by everything that he was saying and it was obvious that he wouldn’t go through such lengths just to make up a story to tell me. It definitely didn’t make sense.This was what his mother was talking about back then when she mentioned he had been kidnapped. I had not thought too dearly about it and his reservations to talk about it had struck me at first but after

RAFAELThe glass of whiskey sat in my hand as I twirled it around, unable to take a sip since I poured it out. There was a lot on my mind and I was trying to figure things out but none of them seemed to be aligning. My thoughts seemed to be all over the place and the more I tried to gather them and think straight, the worse it got. It seemed like I was moving from one problem to another and most of it was not even physical.I had to deal with the fact that Hermes had sent Rachael after me, a move which I found to be a dastardly act. He could have sent anybody else to do the deed but knowing him, he did that just to prove a point. How poetic it would have been for him if the girl who I had tried to save all those years ago and one of the major reasons for my want of revenge was the one who pulled the trigger. Just the mere thought of it sent shivers running down my spine.Getting into Hermes’s head was one thing I was exceptionally good at or rather I had become good at over the years.

ATHENAI saw the look of surprise on his face as I said that I was willing to help. He kept on looking at me like I had said something completely absurd and I couldn’t quite understand it.“I am serious right now.” I said, “I want to help in whatever way that I can.”His eyes were still fixed on me as he observed me like he was looking for something which I did not know what it was. I was wondering what was going through his mind at that moment as he shook his head in what looked like disbelief.“There is nothing that you can do.” He said, as he attempted to walk out of the room again.I ran in front of him and blocked the part to the door. This was a very serious issue and I could not understand why he was this calm about it. I knew exactly what I would have done if it was me that was in this particular situation, I definitely would be all over the place most likely freaking out in anger and panic. But here he stood so calmly just observing everything.From the look he had in his eye

His daughter’s reaction and attitude since all of this had started was pissing him off even more than anything that Rafael could do. Hermes could not believe that his own daughter who he had raised all these years and had cherished like an egg was now on the side of the enemy against him. He couldn’t understand why she would even want to do something like this in the first place. In a lot of ways, she was more like her mom than him. Very soft hearted, kind and extremely gullible. It had been one of the reasons he had liked her mother in the first place and why he could not really be around Athena for too long because even though he didn’t care to admit it, she reminded him of the woman who he had lost all those years ago.He had found out a while back that Athena was not suited for this business which he had ventured into. It was very obvious from the way she talked and related with people. There was no way in hell she was going to be on board with him killing people and conducting ex
