The Contract Twins 54: Untold
"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

"this doesn't happen quite often, does it?" Regina asks as she glances over to Lilith who is blankly staring up at the white ceiling, unable to take in the news she's just been given."What do you think?" Lilith leaned up from the bed and glances towards Regina who shrugs her shoulders. "Is Ariel coming?" She asks as she shoves her feet off the bed and reaches her hand up to her forehead."I don't... Think so." She explained with a small uncomfortable smile as she handed her her phone. "She said she was busy."Lilith sighs out as she grabs the phone from her and dials Ariel's number once more before placing it to her ear and waiting for it to connect."Ariel... I really need you here. I know you're annoyed with me but this is serious. Please?" She began before cutting the call and staring down at her feet with a deep frown on her face."You know, this is the night we should be drinking and partying." Regina blindly points out as she gets up from the bed and walks towards the open wind

"when.... Who's is it?" Ariel asked as she stared at Lilith who glanced down at her fingers instead. "Uh... H-Hades?""I hadn't been with Ethan ever since I met Hades." She shrugged her shoulders and combed her fingers through her thick long dark brown hair."Is it because... He didn't want to?" Ariel asked as she glanced down at the report, still unbelieving."No. I just..." Lilith sighed out and leaned into the couch, covering her eyes with her palm as she groaned out in desperation. "I just... Felt like Hades was... You know.. I mean, my body... How can I put this....?""You're more into Hades than Ethan. No need to beat around the bush." Regina shrugged her shoulders and glanced towards Lilith who still didn't uncover her face. "Getting down with Ethan would make you feel as though you're somehow cheating on Hades, right? It doesn't feel right to get with Ethan anymore to you. That's only because you connected more with Hades and Ethan just isn't as interesting as he was before."

"Who's Ariel?" Kristen asks as she places her wine glass down to the table before smiling at him when he cuts the call."Uh.. my ex's... Um my past love's sister. twin sister." He chuckles uncomfortably and shoves his phone back into the pocket of his trousers."Ah. Lilith?" She asks and Hades stares at her for a moment and furrows his brows."Yeah. Her." He nods and clicks his tongue, getting her to furrow her brows as well."That's funny." Kristen chuckles out as she glances down at her phone and quickly skims to her social app. "Remember I talked about having that ugly coincidence?""Of what?" Hades asks and she chuckles nervously as she held out her phone to him, showing him her friends list."She's one of the Lilith's I know." She groaned out and leaned back into her seat when Hades' eyes widened in shock as he glanced down at their platform.He tapped on their conversation tap only to choke when he noticed how frequent and often they had been talking.As a matter of fact, they t

"So, where are you going?" Kristen asked as she followed Hades out of the restaurant after their meal. Both of them hand in hand, with their fingers intertwined.Hades glanced down at her for a moment before shrugging his shoulders and sighing out."Ariel told me to meet her." He explained when they stopped by his car. "She wants me at Lilith's house and says it's important. I bet it's about her wedding.""Oh." Kristen nodded her head slowly and glanced down at her hand holding his, enjoying the warmth his body sends through her palm.It's never been this warm before...."Could you come?" Hades asked as he reached out to hold her other hand, drawing her eyes from their hands and up to him. "If Lilith is there... Which she obviously is, I want someone to... You know, control me.""In case you try to go back to her?" Kristen asked with furrowed brows and a slight frown to which he shook his head to in disagreement."Lilith and I haven't been on good terms. I get... Angry most of the tim

Lilith could hear Ariel's voice together with Hades' low tone, which only made her more nervous as she stared down at the paper in her hands, wrinkling it with the tight grip she had on it."Relax or you'll ruin the paper." Regina smiled as she reached over to her shoulder and gently pats her to calm her down. "He'll be thrilled to... Oh sh*t." Regina trailed off as she watched Hades stepping into the room, hands intertwined with a strange woman she had never seen before.Lilith glanced up from the paper when she heard Regina curse out in disbelief, only to feel a certain thud in her chest when she watched Kristen and Hades stepping into the room.Her eyes shifted from Hades and down to Kristen who glanced to the floor with a bit of nervousness embracing her.Ariel walked into the room a few seconds later and she sighed out when she noticed Lilith's shaken expression, knowing too well she didn't seem so thrilled to see what was in front of her."Apparently he wasn't lying."

"who told you I did?" He asked as he stared nervously at Ariel then to Lilith, slowly beginning to reveal his slightly panicked expression."Ethan did. He told Lilith." Ariel explained and Hades dropped his gaze down to Lilith who stared back at him with furrowed brows. "I found out through her and that's... The reason we called you here. To tell us if it's the truth."Hades clenched his jaw and glanced down to the floor as he thought for a moment. He licked his dry lips and crossed his arms over his chest, before glancing towards Kristen who felt completely out of place."That's why I told you to take your girlfriend outside or drop her off. She's not part of this." Ariel explained as she glanced down through her corner of her eyes to Kristen who nodded in agreement and stood up."I'll see myself out." She smiled uncomfortably as she glanced down at Lilith then to Hades. "I left my car at the restaurant anyway. I'll call a taxi and get there. No need to escort me.""He wasn't going t

The Contract Twins Final Chapter
"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
The Contract Twins 109: the one and only
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.
The Contract Twins 108: pregnancy pressure
"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
The Contract Twins 107: i wont the war
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 Contract Twins 102: truth
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
