"She wasn't rushing to anywhere, she just chocked like a normal person would." Nora said as she slid his plate and bowl to him. "After hearing terrible news."

"What terrible news?" Hades asked as he glanced at Lilith with raised brows.

"Nothing." Lilith said as she continued to eat, this time, slower than before as the burn ached her lungs.

"I warned her I would kill her if she was toying with your feelings." Nora smiled charmingly as though to get Hades to thank her for being protective over him, but instead, Hades frowned, deeply.

"Why would you assume she would?" Hades defended and Nora frowned. "She's not that type of person."

"How would you know." Nora rolled her eyes and turned her gaze to Lilith who didn't want to make eye contact with her. "I know you'll defend her even if I say she was a man."

"Because she's not." Hades rolled his eyes as he took a sip from his juice. "I have proof."

Lilith nearly chocks again but presses her lips together not to let off a sound, luckily the

    Lilith sighed out shakily as she sat in the bathtub with her hands wrapped around her knees, with her heart racing underneath her chest. She gently reached her fingers and pressed them just under her collarbone as she felt the pulse.Nervous.She felt nervous and her stomach curled into a tight knot, making her sigh out shakily as she glanced into the water and at her feet."Sorry about... You know, Morris and Nora." Hades suddenly spoke as he stepped into the bathroom and closed the door, startling Lilith who unwrapped her arms from her legs, straightening them slightly. "They kind of talk a lot of nonsense." He chuckled, walking to the tub and sitting at the edges. "You don't have to bath with me if you don't want to.""Maybe you don't." She said as she glanced up at him, getting his heart to thud the moment her eyes met his."I do." He said as he bit his lower lip. "I just wanted to make sure you're comfortable.""So why are you still dressed?" She asked and he raised his brows, be

    (That afternoon)"Finally!" Nora screams out as she jumps from the back seat and onto the grey pavement with a large grin on her face as she stared up at the large burger and fries sign above the small restaurant. "I was starving.""Well it took you forever just lending her a dress." Hades sighs out as he opens his door and steps out. "I know she's got a great body, but she's not a doll.""Excuse me for being a nice friend to your girlfriend." Nora rolled her eyes as she sighs out with a small pout of her lips then shifts her eyes towards Lilith who keeps tugging her dress down. "Lilith, you're just going to stretch it out if you keep doing that.""Your dress is really short...." Lilith whined as she glanced up at Nora with furrowed brows. "Didn't you have anything longer?""I don't have any." Nora shrugged her shoulders with a small smile as Lilith sighs out."I saw that long dress of yours... You should have lent that one to me." Lilith whined some more and Nora smiled sheepishly."

    "H-Hey!" Lilith squirreled out as she turned and slapped his hand away with her cheeks filling up with warmth from embarassement. "I don't know you, you can't touch a woman like that!""With a dress that short, you're practically begging for it." Drake grinned out as Lilith frowned at him. "Just call your boyfriend to beat me up." He teased, getting her to angrily turn away from him. "If he even exists."Lilith doesn't talk back, knowing there was no point in doing so, it was just a perverted man trying to harass her on the line, taking advantage of the fact that no one could be looking at him or her at all. Though, despite everyone busy with their lives, the man in front of Lilith was well aware of the woman behind him being harassed.He just didn't want to do anything about it. He was holding a three-year old in his hands and couldn't risk getting in a fight for someone he barely knows.The line moved a little closer and the man in front of the line was ordering his meal.

  • The Contract Twins   27: Lilith Speaks Her Heart

    Lilith crossed her arms over her chest as she was still annoyed by it all. Morris and Nora decided to sit up front since they both knew the two needed time together in the back as they both waited outside of the car instead, sitting on the edge of the flower platforms as they chat in laughter."Does your hand hurt?" Lilith asked as she glanced at Hades who seemed to have been awfully quiet."A little. He's face has a lot of sharp corners." Hades chuckled as he glanced at her with a small smile, getting her to giggle a little. "Are you okay though?""I'm fine." Lilith nodded as she sighed out and leaned back into the seat. "Just very angry.""Why didn't you tell me if he kept harassing you?" Hades asked with a small frown as he glanced at her. "You know I'm here for you... Right? I want to protect you, even if you think it's not serious.""I just didn't want to trouble you, I thought he'd eventually stop." She shrugged her shoulders as she glanced down at her laps.

  • The Contract Twins   28: A little arguement

    "Lilith..." Hades breaks off for a moment, but decides it was best that the endless trail of the haunting memory needed to come to an end if he wanted to her to finally forgive him.Though he can not account for his past mistakes, all he could do was try to convince her he was just a kid. Even though he really was."I know, I hurt you the most, aside from Ariel. I was just a kid listening to an older, much cooler, kid's orders. I wanted to be feared from a lot of kids. I wanted to know what it felt like being at the top and Martin was the only person to get me there. It was selfish, but I was a kid and didn't know any better. I felt it was wrong, that's why I didn't stick around to watch." He whispered as he tightened his hold around her waist. "Funny thing is... I didn't like you, the way I do now. I might have not liked you at all, so hurting you or your sister didn't have that much effect, except that I was disgusted Martin would go that far. But I've fallen in love with you now, f

    "You know." Nora started the moment they were done eating their food. Morris decided he would do the dishes, since Nora seemed overly annoyed to think about it. "Hades, you really love someone who thinks it's fun to toy around with your feelings."Nora started as she wiped her hands with a towel, getting rid of all the grease and chicken coating."She really doesn't care how much you like her. She used to like you, right? At least that's what I heard when you guys were talking. She obviously doesn't like you anymore, because there's really no reason for her to keep saying no to a perfect guy like you. She obviously just wants to use you. Not your money, of course, but to see how far you can go before you eventually crack.""But that's not what I-.""Then why would you sleep with him only to tell him you still feel like you can't be with him!?" Nora asked in frustration, getting Hades to glance at her in terror."Nora, don't say things like that, she's not using me." Hades explained, s

    The right red light glaring from above the windshield made it impossible not to feel irritated as it shined into Lilith's eyes. She shoved the sun shield towards the light, managing to block it off as it nearly seemed like ages since they stopped."There are literally no cars Hades, just go." She sighed out as she glanced at him. Wanting nothing more than to get back to the comfort of her home."I'm sorry about them." Hades tried to apologize as he glanced at her. "They always say things like that. Even to me. It hurts, I know, but they're just that serious sometimes.""They aren't wrong." Lilith shrugged her shoulders as she glanced down at her fingers. "You're a nice person. Too nice. You need someone nice too.""And that's you." Hades said softly as he reached out to her cheek. "You're nice, I see it all the time.""I'm not a nice person, Hades." She shook her head as the light turned green above them, though, he didn't start the car. "If I was, I wouldn't need to find reasons to h

Ginger Locksmith endlessly talked as she pulled her third pie from the oven and a few other baked treats like buttered buns, cupcakes and an endless supply of cream puffs and other delicious snacks.Lilith glanced down at the cupboard and at the countless samples she was placing in front of her and Hades."Ginger-.""Then she talks about her perfect sausage rolls. Talk about greasy disgusting sausages." She huffed, folded her arms across her chest as she waits for another batch of cupcakes to warm up in her oven. "She's just trying to make me look bad so she could get the spot.""Ginger, isn't this too much?" Lilith asks as she glanced up at him. "We just ate-.""You've already promised to help her." Hades nagged her shoulder, getting Lilith to frown at him as Ginger glanced towards him with perked brows."So when did you get this new boyfrie

    "wait! I'm not done yet!" Victoria whines as Lilith lifts the child off her hands and back into hers, tires from all of the people that keep holding her son. "Lilith....""He needs to eat." Lilith explains as she smiles while gently bouncing her baby. "Don't you wanna eat Bobba? Oh yes you do.""Stop calling him Bobba or else he will get used to that. Call his real name, Aiden." Victoria whines some more as she watches Lilith clearly not wanting to give back her grandson to her."Baby Bobba likes it." Lilith says in a childish voice, though mostly speaking to her child than her mother.Hades on the other hand can only stare in envy when non of them even let him carry his own son.It has been three weeks since his birth and he's barely carried him if at all."I can't wait to see the news." Derek chuckles under his breath as he taps the send button, posting all the photos he has kept for this day. "The headlines will all about Hades.""You've posted it?" Hades asks, planning to distract

    Even though it would have been the perfect moment to reveal Hades, Derek thought it would be even more surprising if the news was given soon after Lilith had her child.He wanted a public uproar and chaos. To twist head and make everyone gasp.So the excuse he gave the media was that she was pregnant, and the wedding was postponed.No one questioned it.Ethan hadn't come up to protest about the news. He's almost simply vanished from the face of the earth without a trace, so it was the perfect plan with the perfect process."Are you sure you're okay?" Hades asks for the hundredth time, getting Lilith to groan out as she drops the tablet she is holding to the bed before glaring up at him."I'm fine! Stop asking!" She hisses and places the tablet up to her face, playing the game she was playing. "If you keep asking I'll get more stressed....""Okay." Hades sighs and plants a small kiss on her forehead before getting up and walking towards the nurse who is simply preparing some equipment.

    "it's so silent." Lilith chuckles as she stares down at her steaming hot bowl of soup holding a few chunks of chicken and veggies.It was more of a chicken stew than a soup at this point, even though Lilith's mother claimed it was a soup, a soup she claims is good for her health."I like it." She smiles towards Hades who hasn't been talking for the past hour since the whole scenario ended with Ethan and Kirsten.It still didn't sit right with him that Ethan almost didn't put up a fight except insult him. He thought Ethan would end up fighting him to the ground just to be stubborn and resilient. But he didn't.He just walked out of the mansion just like that."Are you okay?" Lilith asks as she reaches her hand over to Hades who then finally snaps from his thoughts and smiles at her the instant their eyes met."Just thinking about nothing. And yeah, it really is silent, in a good way. I don't have to fight Ethan anymore." Hades chuckles as he laces her hand with his. "It's still a shame

    Hades makes his way into the corridor and nearly bumps into Derek who was holding a wine glass in one had and his phone in the other.The wine nearly spills his silky pajama set but lucky it really doesn't.Hades doesn't bother apologizing as his mind is fogged entirely with what he should do with Ethan. The only one still too stubborn to simply leave them alone."You look like you are about to commit murder." Derek points out as he swirls the contents in his wine glass. "Is it Ethan?""I'm just thinking of what to say to him." Hades shrugged his shoulders as he glanced at the wine Derek is sipping on but knows it's not the right time for him to even drink. "Last time I was talking to him, felt like I was talking to a child who didn't want to listen.""Ethan has always been stubborn. Which was why I liked him and wanted him to be a part of our family. He's always been like a son I've always wanted to have but never did." Derek points out as he blindly smiles to himself and takes a sma

  • The Contract Twins   106: let me do it

    Hades sighs out as he leans from the hug and sits up, gazing down at her as she watches his every move."I'll get you some breakfast. Try to stay in bed and relax." Hades says as he gets up and walks towards the doors. "Don't go anywhere, okay?""Yeah." She nods her head with a smile as she leans on her elbow to stare at him a little more. "I want some meat in that.""I know." Hades winks before stepping out and closing the door, leaving Lilith to frown slightly and lean back onto the bed, feeling her entire body shudder from the news the previous night.Tears soaked her eyes as she stares at the ceiling, almost losing all hope in even becoming a mother at this point, too afraid that the second one can also follow it's sibling.She reaches her hand over her head as the tears silently fall to the sides of her eyes, unable to keep them from falling while her body shakes.She wanted to cry, but she couldn't if Hades was also affected by it. She didn't want him to break into pieces like s

  • The Contract Twins   105: she's the one for me

    Hades can't stop staring down at Lilith who had to be forced into a deep sleep, just for the sake of their surviving child.He felt at fault for losing one of the twins, since he put her on the spotlight of trouble, from planting the seed down to having to force her to make the decision of being with him or Ethan.He knows if he simply vanished without a trace, Lilith would have lived a miserable life, but that wouldn't have taken long to end since Ethan was always trying hard to make her love him again. She would have eventually fallen into his trap and lived a much healthier life. Away from all the pain and agony.Maybe that's just it. Maybe Hades shouldn't have stepped into her life.Maybe he should have just watched her marry another man and admit he lost.Would things have been much better now?Hades turns his eyes towards the doctor's table instead, staring at nothing in particular as he wondered what happened to the 'body' of his child.He knew it could be almost too small and

  • The Contract Twins   104: If the bad didn't exist

    When the doors finally opened, Hades stands up and clenches his jaw as he watches Lilith's father step out with a rather gloomy expression on his face, getting his heart to sink into his stomach as he approaches him."Is she alright?" Hades asks as he stands in front of the man he once feared, "is the baby... Okay?""Lilith is okay." Derek nods his head as he scans the room and frowns deeply at the sight of the two, Ethan and Kirsten who also stare at him expectedly. "The baby is okay as well. No need to worry, Hades."Hades sighs out in relief as he smiles slightly and glances over Derek's shoulder and into the room where he can see Lilith seated on the bed, looking rather.... Pale."Why do you all seem really upset?" Hades chuckles slightly as he glances back up at Derek., Feeling his heart tug against his chest. "Lilith doesn't look that happy.""Sit down, Hades." Derek sighs out as he holds onto Hades' shoulder and gently brings him to sit down on a small stool just behind his fee

  • The Contract Twins   103: forgiveness isn't easy

    [2:12 a.m]The clock above the ticks roughly around two in the morning, hardly getting the anxious Kirsten who yawns in fatigue as she stares at the door that Lilith had vanished off to with the doctor the instant he returned with a few equipment and another nurse.Her mother and father remain locked into the room with her, along with Ariel who didn't want to leave her twin's side as they examine her condition with the machines this time, wanting to get accurate results.It would be easier and less costly to get her to the hospital instead, but the parents couldn't resist the stalkers around from taking private details into the mass media.It would cause an uproar before they can really fix anything."For a moment I thought I could get away with it, since I believed the pills won't change anything. But even after I didn't hurt her .... Things between us aren't good anyway." Kirsten sighs out as she runs a hand through her hair and bites down on her bottom lip, getting Hades to glance

    The soft buzz ringing into her ear slowly fades off as her heavy eyelid finally peel back, bringing in the soft light from the orange bulb hanging over above her.She lays there for a moment as she feels the unsettling pain roaming her stomach like a serpent.Slithering through every part of her abdomen and leaving a bearable venomous sting.Lilith turns her head to the side as her head feels like a large rock, making her neck ache from the slight movement as her eyes land on the q by the bed stool.It is well past eleven.The room is silent but the door is open. Faint but audible voices can be heard from the corridor, many at once and others sounding awfully aggressive than most.It doesn't take her a moment long before she remembers why she was asleep. SeeShe sits up in haste and glances down at her thighs, finding nothing too alarming other than the fact she is wearing different clothes altogether.Her eyes dart around the empty room and notices a few empty medicine bottles and th
