Hades slowly lowered his gaze to the ground the moment Lilith spoke out, telling him goodbye only made things worse for him.

"Are you seriously letting me go that easily?" Hades asked as he kept his gaze to the ground, whilst his fingers slowly clench into a tight fist. "After all we've done?"

Lilith pressed her lips together and turned away from him, facing the window as her stomach tightened from the guilt in her.

"You really can't expect me to just... Let go of everything, right?" He asked as Morris glanced towards Lilith with a deep frown. "Not when I thought... We were finally going to be together."

"Well, that sounds more like a dream now, doesn't it?" She asked, more of a whisper as Hades stared at her back with a deep frown.

"At least tell me there was a time you felt guilty, when we were together, knowing I'm wasting my efforts." He chuckled out forcefully as he watched her turn to face him. "Or tell me there was a time you loved me. Not just the kind of love you're unsure ab

    Lilith dropped her eyes down to the box Hades must have dropped while he was in shock.The ring still seated inside the box."How could you do this to him?" Ariel asked, still angry by the entire situation. "Just because he bullied you? Well, he loves you now, you can't be punishing him for what he did.""It's already been done." Lilith shrugged her shoulders and crossed her arms over her chest as she glanced at her sister. "You only hate me for it because you fell in love with your bully while I didn't. Just because Hades loves me doesn't mean I need to love him back. My feelings belong to Ethan, the man I'll marry." She simply said as she turned and walked for the door while Ariel followed her with a deep frown. "This is reality. He'll eventually let it go."She said before leaving the room, leaving Ariel horrified at what her sister had become.A cold blooded woman.She stepped out of the room, feeling her heart sink into her body the moment she met Ethan's gaze staring down at her

  • The Contract Twins   46: How long?

    The next Monday morning wasn't as comforting as the previous day. Even though he had a whole day away from Lilith to cool off and rethink his thoughts, he still thought about it over and over again to the point it nearly made him sick.The shaky feeling filling up his throat as he thought just of her name hardly made his food taste any better.Yet he still wanted to believe it wasn't all real.So Monday being the day they will eventually cross paths made it all the more nauseous for Hades since he couldn't hold down his stomach thinking about her.The moment he stepped out of the elevator with just one coffee cup in his hands, he found himself missing the time he would bring her the hot chocolate she never really drunk often.She'd rather hand it over to her workmates.He was fine with it, knowing she would accept one of his offers one day and that day finally came when she complimented him for the hot chocolate he made for her.A complicated drink but worth the pay and time for its w

    Lilith finally got to meet his eyes. Though they weren't the eyes she had ever seen on him before.This time, his eyes were much darker and filled with so much gloom that they almost seemed lifeless.The gaze alone made Lilith drop her own to the ground, failing to stare at them any longer when she knew Hades was being serious this time."Not too long-.""I asked how long, Lilith." Hades gripped onto the armrests of his seat as he stared at her in disbelief. "Ever since you gave me a chance?" He asked. "Or is it ever since I started liking you.... Maybe way before then?""I don't know." Lilith shrugged her shoulders and glanced up at him. "I don't know when.""Did you like me at least?" Hades asked as he stared at her sharply, getting her to move on her spot, a little uncomfortable. "Tell me at least once... Somewhere you looked at me and thought you loved me."Lilith sighed out shakily as she glanced around with her throat slowly tightening. Hades raised his brows, waiting for his an

    Often than not, during the small coffee break at work, Hades always thought of grabbing Lilith a nice hot drink for her. Knowing a little too well about what she liked and what she did not.But at this point he wouldn't care less.Lilith sat in her office, surrounded with countless gift baskets in front of her that her young fans and colleagues handed out to her.The endless supply of gift baskets only reminded her of how much she hurt Hades. It would be his dream to receive gifts with her and laugh about it all day long with a wide grin on his face.It sounded like a good idea to hurt him in the end when she found out he liked her. But neither did she know she would fall too deep for a man she wanted to hurt.Even though things turned out the way she wanted before her heart would freeze at the sight of his bright eyes, this time it felt more empty than pleasing.A deep sigh escaped her lips as she glanced down at her phone, gazing at the man on the wallpaper gazing back at her.Ethan

    The day slowly went by, with hardly a sign of Hades around as she was used to. Somehow, the feeling in her chest didn't seem to want to leave.The feeling of lost and guilt.It's only the second day of their engagement, but somehow the life she envisioned with Ethan, the entire time during the engagement wasn't what she had planned.She wanted it all to be perfect. To be happy and show off to the whole world about her engagement to Ethan... Or someone she was in love with.Lilith, I wanna see the ring! A fan posts on the platform with countless dozens demanding for a picture of the ring on her finger.After Ethan proposed. The only picture the internet could get was the video from her little sister's livestream.Lilith hadn't posted anything concerning them.

    The moment Lilith noticed Ethan had turned on his route and headed away from the road to her neighbourhood. She simply crossed her arms over her chest and bit onto her lower lip as she watched the countless buildings go by."We used to love each other. Wasn't that so great?" Ethan asked as he turned to the road leading to his house.Countless luxurious buildings slowly walk by as they go deeper into the upper class neighbourhood.Despite being the daughter of a wealthy man and the heir to his wealth, she didn't really fancy building a home in an up-class neighbourhood, surrounded by people who make friends by spending money.She wanted a normal life.A life away from the spotlight and work just like normal people did. Something not too much to bare before she sits on her father's throne when he retires.Which was not long.Derek Lamar, her father, wanted to finally get some rest and hand it over to her. The more the years sped by, the more uncomfortable she was with the entire idea of

    (One month later)Hades can't help but stare intently at the photo of the woman displayed on his phone.The bright and cheerful red head grins at the camera with her long wavy locks of silk draping down to her slim smooth shoulders.Her emerald eyes gazed back at him, making him a little more self-conscious, feeling as though she actually is staring at him, watching him.He scrolled down her profile and instantly clicked the heart icon, adding to her thousands and millions of hearts.Before he even reached to exit the app, a message instantly fills the entire screen with her profile next to it.Hey. The message read on the pop up.A small smile curves his lips as he tapped on the message, and texted her back with a simple 'Hi'.You like my photo, huh? 🤭He chuckled lightly and bit onto his lower lip as he began typing back.🙂Well, you're really beautiful.

He made his way into the bedroom and sighed out as he tossed the towel on a small stool just beside the doors before grabbing his phone resting on the bed.The instant he opened his phone to check, a small smile creeped onto his lips, getting him to chuckle a bit as he began to text her back._______________________________Wow, you got off a little late.Mmmh yea

    "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

  • 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

    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.
