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. No pictures together, not of the ring and no text post about how excited she is.Which only makes her fandom burst out with anxiety.Ring ring ring! Show us.... Please? Another fan posts. Getting Lilith to sigh out the more her ph
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. I'm not surprised you have a lot of fans.😝Not that many. Unlike you. But I don't blame you, you're so adorable.Hm... And hands
_______________________________•😉just got off at work.•are you there?_______________________________The buzz filled the entire room as Hades leaned onto his sink, trying to make sure the shaving cream does not fall on the floor or any of his clothes.Since he was bound to meet the new red head in his life, he still needed to try to look his best in front of her and match the pictures he put up on the posts.When his phone buzzes once more, he instantly perked his ears up, turning his head towards the door of the bathroom.He stared at the door for a moment before quickly finishing off his face and washing off the cream. 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
A loud and heavy groan escaped Lilith's lips as she falls back to her bed after answering almost all her fan messages and posting more photos that she took with Ethan on a daily basis, trying not to get anyone else suspicious if they are too silent about it.It had been a month since Hades had stopped talking to her entirely. The first few weeks she had tried to get him to at least talk to her and still become normal around each other, but he didn't want anything to do with her and she understood very clearly why.She wouldn't want to talk to herself either.She groaned out once more as she sat up, feeling her stomach tighten even more from how much she had eaten for dinner.Since the last two weeks, she had lost her apitite and completely fell sick from all the stress and anxiety she was facing. Though the doctors didn't find anything wrong with her and eliminated the possibility of pregnancy since she hadn't been intimate with him either.So they simply told her the wedding was stre
"It's funny how people change, don't you think?" Was the first thing Regina pointed out as she stirred her coffee and glanced at Lilith who simply stared down into her steaming hot green tea.She darts her eyes away from her tea and up to Regina who was also staring down at her as well. A mug in one hand and a donut in the other."What?" She asked, having not gotten the words."You and the CFO used to talk. Now it's all... Weird and uncomfortable." She explained as she pointed the mug to the door. "Did you mess up?""I probably did." She nodded slightly with a heavy sigh as she leaned back to her seat and grabbed a cupcake from her plate. "But as long as my job is still alive, I don't think he's that upset.""Is it a job thing though?" She asked with raised brows and took a sip while watching Lilith's expression as it changed ever so slightly. From being bored and confused to being a bit alert and surprised."What do you mean?" She asked and instantly took a mouth full of the cupcake,
Hades couldn't help glancing at the mirror every single minute as he slowly drives closer to the restaurant he was supposed to meet Kristen.She had arrived an hour earlier, since her work ended sooner than his, giving her the advantage to prepare their entire conversation without her stammering when she met him in person.The bright neon sign of the restaurant greets his eyes as he pulls into the small barred gate of the luxurious restaurant, making his throat turn dry with each passing second.He easily finds a parking spot, since the restaurant rarely gets that much customers with their high prices.He checks himself in the mirror once more before stepping out of his car and fixing his tie.His eyes dart towards the glass walls revealing the inside.The bright orange gaze from the bulb illuminates the entire room and down on his date for the night.The bright orange head with straight flowing hair that drape down on her exposed shoulders and back, surpassing the chair just a little
"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
