"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.

    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

    "Responsibility...." Hades paused the instant his hand touched the cold steel handle. "Is it... Mine?" He turned sharply and glanced over his shoulder to Ariel who has her eyes wide and full of frustration and Lilith who was reaching her hand up to her eyes, trying not to expose the tears she didn't expect to let out."Why... Why would we call you all the way here if it wasn't yours!?" Ariel sighed out in a bit of relief, knowing his reaction wasn't from him not wanting it, but he thought it was Ethan's."I thought..." Hades trailed off then left the handle as he turned to glance at Lilith instead.They locked eyes and Lilith laced her fingers nervously as she then shot her gaze to the ground, unable to keep their gaze locked for so long. Knowing after all she did to him, she didn't know how he would take this situation.It was all anonymous.It doesn't take Hades a moment longer for him to leave the door and cross the room in lightening speed and grab onto Lilith's shoulder, getting

    Ariel sighed out as Hades and Lilith sat on the couch, both the twins waiting anxiously to listen to the whole plot of Ethan's conspiracy theory.It was nerve-wracking to sit there and wait for the father of your unborn child to admit to murder.Hades just keeps making his own life hard."Me and Martin somehow ended up in the same college and since we were friends before, we became friends later." Hades started as he leaned into the couch and laced his fingers with Lilith's, missing the way he used to hold her hand that way. "In college you know how it goes, you spend too much on drinks and well, you need money to keep living on. The little side jobs weren't enough and took up most of the day so Martin found an even better job.""You did drugs!?" Ariel gasped out as she widened her gaze at Hades who furrowed her brows to her to keep her shut."No." He shook his head in denial. "Don't assume that's the only thing... Anyway. We were like middle men to sell laptops and other gadgets, we

    "Anyway." Ariel sighs out as she stands from the couch and tags her skirt down before glancing up at a paranoid Lilith and a half excited Hades who can't stop looking at the woman of his dreams.Oblivious to the trouble he's in."I'll get going now. It's a little too late and Martin will think I'm cheating on him. Like he always does when I get back late." She chuckles out as she walks towards the corridor. "Get some rest, Lilith. Don't think about it too much. Leave it to Hades and I to figure something out. The stress isn't good for the baby." She smiles as Lilith glances up at her."Oh." She nodded her head slowly and pulled on a small smile as she stood up as well, walking towards her. "I won't overthink it... Come on, Let me escot you outside." She smiled as Ariel nodded in agreement and walked out with her.Lilith clenched onto her dress as Ariel stepped out first with her following behind. They both walk quietly towards her car that stood in front of her house, readily waiting

    A smile couldn't help itself as it made its way onto his slightly wine colored lips as he stared down at the woman lying on the bed just in his reach.Her long dark chocolate hair spread across the entire bed and all over her shoulders as her pink lower lips twitched once in a while before she would move slightly and sigh deeply.Almost as though her dream was bothering her.He reached his hand out to her face, gently glazing his finger agaisnt her slightly red cheek, getting her to slightly cringe and ignore the feeling before falling back into deep sleep.He chuckled out and bit onto his lower lip as he leaned down to her forehead, planting a soft kiss on her forehead before getting up and groaning as he stretches himself.The mere thought of having Lilith wake up to a grand breakfast only makes him grin out more and sprint out of the room the instant his eyes land on the digital clock by her bedstand.It was two hours before work and they both had to get ready for it.

    Unable to contain his own curiosity. He quietly gets up from the bed as he can hear mummers coming from the corridor.He makes his way towards the bedroom door and creaks the door open, wide enough for him to hear.Luckily, it doesn't make much of a noise.At this point he can hear Ethan's voice as clear as day light, speaking happily and cheerfully to Lilith who seems to hardly reply."So, it's not much of a big deal but I think if we could get a few singers on stage for the wedding." Ethan explains as he pulls out a large sheet of paper and places it on the coffee table in front of them.At this point, Lilith can already feel the tension in her shoulders as Ethan doesn't seem to be leaving anytime soon.She didn't mean to let him into the house. As usual, he would simply ask her for coffee and they would eventually go out. Or he would just drop by to check up on her and remind her a few things about the wedding and whether she needed to check off a few things from the checklist.How

    "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.
