The look on Hernandez's face was one of complete dread as he stared at Athena trying to pick herself up off the floor. When Rachael had initially come into the room to tell him that she knew everything and talk to him about Hermes’s plans, he had felt troubled instantly by it. He didn’t care so much for her and he had made it clear from the first day Rafael brought her into the circle. She was a wild card much like himself and he was still yet to figure out what her own angle in this was. He wondered what she had told Hermes that allowed her back into his good books or maybe she had never left in the first place.All of these thoughts troubled Hernandez greatly but he chose to be silent about it and bide his time until he could fulfill his own plans of taking charge of every single thing. No one was going to know about any of this and by the time Rafael or Hermes found out what he had in store then it was going to be too late for any of them to stop him. The sight of Athena crashing i

RAFAELAll through the car ride back home, thoughts of Athena filled my head as I thought about what happened last night. When I had headed to her room that night, I had not expected things to go in that direction at all. I went there to explain everything to her, at least my part of things and give her an update on her ex who I almost beat to death. The truth of the matter is I had no idea what I was going to tell her that night, I just knew I wanted to talk to her. It felt like a longing which I could not seem to shake no matter how hard I tried.The look she had on her face that night, as we stared at each other in the hallway was still plastered in my head. I was not sure if it was real or it was something that the alcohol imagined, but then, I could see a longing in her eyes. The same longing which I felt when I drew closer to her and she planted that kiss on my lips. It had been totally unexpected but now that I thought about it, it was definitely bound to happen over time. The

The anger was so evident on Rafael’s face when he walked into the room. His entrance had taken Hernandez completely by shock and he had dropped the phone immediately, leaving Hermes stranded on the other end. They had both been trying to figure out what was going on. Hermes had still not been able to find Athena and he was getting extremely worried. Hernandez had wondered what was going on because he had put her into the van personally and watched the van drive off. There was only one explanation to this that he could think of but then he never wanted to believe it.It had to be Rachael. She had been the one who had arranged everything about the pickup and the drop off. She was the only one who could have pulled something like this off. Hernandez was about to tell Hermes this when Rafael stormed in. From the look on his face, Hernandez could tell immediately that the gig was up and he knew exactly what was going on.“You!” Rafael shouted, his hand pointed out to Hernandez in a menacin

The dryness of my throat was what had woken me up from the deep sleep I had drifted into. My eyes fluttered open slowly, each one felt incredibly heavy and unfocused. My vision was extremely blurred as I tried my best to see what was going on. I blinked a lot of times, trying to get some semblance of light into my eyes but it was still met with darkness everywhere. The whole world seemed to be nothing but a swirling void, as I sat there, panic surging through my veins. The air all around me thickened, suffocating me as I struggled to beat. My heart beat thundered again and again in my ears.I tried to lift my hands in order to touch my head or try to feel around for something to clear my eyes, but they wouldn’t move. That was the first time I felt it. The rough bite of the ropes as they dug into my wrists. I immediately became conscious of the fact that my arms were pinned behind my back. My whole body tensed up as this realization hit me. I instinctively tried to twist free, but I so

RAFAELThere I was, sat in the study thinking about everything that had just happened. Hernandez was in the room with me but he was off in a corner because I couldn’t bear to even look at his face right now. We were both battered up because of the fight that had ensued. I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that he could do something like this to me. His explanation about everything and how he was just looking out for himself had struck a nerve in me, but then there were still much better options. If he had come to me with this from the very beginning, I would have been more open and I would have been able to do something to prevent something like this.No matter how he wanted to look at it, he betrayed me and that was the crux of the matter. My eyes caught his eye several times, as we sat in silence waiting. I had placed a call to Hermes earlier and he was on his way to the house so we would discuss everything. We were going to formulate a plan to get Athena by whatever means

Everybody in the room watched as Hernandez paraded the room in silence. He was obviously deep in thought about everything that he had just heard. He was considering his options and was desperately trying to figure out what his next step would be. Rachael had put him in a completely impossible position. It was either he came out and told the world about everything that he had been up to the past few days. This would mean definite arrest for him and would definitely lead to even worse things which he was not sure he was ready for. Him confessing to all these things would implicate the people that he was working for and they would definitely not be pleased about it. If he came out to the public about all his crimes then he was definitely a dead man.On the other hand, if he chose to be quiet about it all and did nothing, then Rachael was going to hurt Athena. The threat which she had made over the phone kept on ringing in his head and he knew that Rachael was more than capable of doing s

Hermes stood in the meeting hall of his house expectantly. His hands were visibly shaking but he paid it no heed, as he tried his best to steady his thoughts and body as much as possible. It was not proving to be so effective but then he had to try. This was going to be the first time he was having a meeting with one of the investors and he was entirely nervous. For the duration of their time together, all the investors had gone through great lengths to hide their identity and there had never once been a physical meeting, there had never been need for one. Work had always gone smoothly before and they were highly pleased at the fact that he provided results and made them a lot of money as well.The fact that he had gotten a message from one of them that he was going to be visiting him personally was definitely not a good sign. It had been so impromptu as well and there was no time for him to prepare or get his act together. Everything seemed to be happening around him all at once and

ATHENAMy eyes fluttered open once again and this time I found myself on the floor in what looked like a makeshift bed. I could tell that it was a makeshift bed because it still felt like I was on the floor and my body hurt like hell. I had no idea how I had ended up in that corner of the room as I looked around. I must have slept off and that was when they did all of this because I couldn’t remember the bed being there when I woke up the first time. I let out a huge sigh of relief as I surveyed the room. If there was anything I was thankful for, it was the fact that my limbs were no longer bound.I rubbed my wrists slowly as I touched the place where the ropes had frayed them, they were still quite red and felt very sore, but at least they were no longer in shackles. Fighting through the pain which I could feel coursing through my body, I sat up on the bed and tried my best to get up. The pregnancy was not helping matters either, as I felt my back hurt from the weight which was being
