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
"-started nagging me about how sweet or salty my pie and buns were, I mean, I call it sweet apple pie for a reason and she just doesn't get it." 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
A small smile creeped onto Hades lips as he watched Lilith brush her hair, sited on the dressing table while he lay on the bed, watching in admiration."That was nice of you." He started as he got up from the bed and walked to her. "Made my heart skip a beat.""She needed the comfort." She shrugged her shoulders, only to watch through the mirror as Hades grabbed the comb from her and began to brush through it. "It was nothing special. If I talk to my parents and ask for money, they'll make me run the company instead." She sighed out in boredom as he began to plait her hair into two pigtails."Just run it, I'll help you if you feel restrained once we get married." He said as he glanced up into the mirror and at her. "Then when you have our first baby, I'll run it for you, to get the pressure off of you." He smiled to himself as he finished off the pigtails. "Thinking about me and you, cuddling our littlest baby boy with the other two having fun in the fort makes me want the years to go
Monday three weeks later.Even though she had spent an awful lot of time with Hades over the past few weeks, Lilith hadn't still gotten used to his teasing glances, especially at work where she was afraid people would find out that she is messing around with the CEO's personal secretary.Hades being Hades perusal couldn't hold his excitement about his closure with Lilith to his Uncle, Mr Gary Smith who was so proud of his nephew.Because he felt pity for his bad luck in getting the only woman he loved.So just to put Lilith in more of a tight spot she got promoted to an assistant director, giving her a leap from her old spot. While Hades was Promoted to the CFO by the board of directors, since he was a man good with numbers and math it was only logical that he rose from being a personal secretary to a CFO."Overall, I don't like this." Hades frowned to the crowd in front of him as he pointed towards the chart with a laser pointer. "That's millions and millions of dollars lost right he
Just as Lilith stepped into her office, her phone buzzed a few times while she walked towards her desk.It was just Hades.A heavy sigh escapes her lips as she tapped the screen off before throwing herself on her leather chair, feeling entirely relaxed."Good morning, again, Ms Lamar." Regina, her senior greeted as she walked onto the office with a folder in her hands. "I need you to do a few things. But before that, is everything okay with Mr Smith Junior? He didn't try to fire you, did he?" She asked with a worried glance as she stared at Lilith who stared back at her with raised brows."Oh no, he didn't call me in to fire me." She chuckled uncomfortably as she waved her hands. "He was just... Asking if I knew what an assistant director does...""Oh, how considerate." She smiled and handed Lilith the document. "I just need you to check those boxes when you're done with each task then come report to me when you're done. Don't forget to take notes." She smiled as she watched Lilith pu
Lilith grabbed her bag from her office and headed out, walking to the elevator only to have her phone buzz endlessly. She stepped into the elevator and clicked the last floor before finally glancing back down to the phone.Ethan....She quickly tapped into the answer button and placed it to her ear as she clenched her jaw slightly.'took you long enough. Why did you block me?' he asked the moment she picked up, getting her to sigh out as she ran a hand through her thick brown hair."Sorry, I must have blocked you by accident." She apologized just as the elevator doors came to an open. "Do you need anything?" She asked as she began to walk towards the entrance doors, waving at the woman behind the counter that waved at her.'let's have dinner. I missed you. I'll pick you up.' he offered as she smiled at the doorman that pushed the glass door open for her."I'm already boarding a bus right now with a friend and she invited me to dinner." She lied as she headed for the gates, only to sto
The next day, Lilith made it to work early just like Ethan had promised her and despite his constant nagging her about how he much he missed her, Lilith didn't give a damn."Aside from that, that's the only problem we've got here." One of the lifters said as he runs the back of his hand agaisnt his forehead, wiping off the sweat. "It might take a while to get this work done if we don't get new trucks.""Okay." Lilith nodded as she scribbled on her notepad before turning away from the employee. "You can go back to work, I'll talk with my senior about it, in the meantime just do what you can effectively because your salaries depend on it." She warned with a small smile as he groaned and walked away. "Be lucky you bastard I'm doing the best I can for you." Lilith growled low enough so he can't hear her.Luckily, the man didn't catch a word she said."Ms Lamar, we've also got problems in the advertising department." A young woman rushed up to Lilith with pouted lips as she pointed to the
"Ethan?" He asked as he let go of her shirt and shifted his gaze to her eyes as she reached her hand up to her neck. "You really had sex with him?""No I didn't." Lilith denied with furrowed brows as she fixed her shirt. "He only kissed my neck.""That's hard to believe." Hades frowned as he clenched his fists tightly. "Just admit it. You slept with him.""I didn't." She rolled her eyes, getting more annoyed. "Why would I lie to you if I did? He wanted to and I told him no.""So you were at Ethan's the entire time I waited?" He asked with a disbelieving face."I didn't know you were waiting." She defended as she buttoned up her shirt."Because you didn't pick up your phone." He took a step back and sighed out slightly as he glanced to the ground. "Did you say no to him because of me or is it because you just didn't want to?"Lilith simply glanced down to her chest instead as she finished off buttoning her shirt, not wanting to answer that question."Let's have sex right now." He sudde
"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
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
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
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
[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
