The clock on the wall stopped at the lunch hour and Lilith instantly yawned out from fatigue as she leaned back into her seat and stretched her arms over her head, feeling overly exhausted already.She sighed out and dropped her gaze down to her slightly bludging stomach, now understanding why most of her skirts were starting to get tighter and tighter with each passing day, even if she did a little cardio here and there.The mere thought of holding a tiny human being in her arms and claiming it as her own didn't really sit well for her at the moment, she was unprepared for it and felt a little scared.All the more reason she did not tell her mother and father about it. In fear of exposing the lies she'd been living.Hades seemed overly thrilled by the idea, mostly because he will get to have Lilith.She chuckled at the idea and reached her hand down to her stomach, gently stroking it as she tried to imagine Hades being the father of her child.Something she thought was long gone."He
Hades reached a hand up to his head as he softly pinched the skin between his eyes, stroking it slightly as he stayed in his car, staring right at a black Honda just in front of him.He knew too well who owned the car.It didn't take long until he heard Lilith's phone buzz and 'ting' from yet another message from the one person who had been texting her since her shift ended.Ethan.He was asking where she was.Right, Hades and Lilith exchanged phones just so they would text whomever they were meeting. Lilith took Hades phone to talk to Kristen to know where she was without knowing it really was her.Hades did the same.Though it was after a long chat with Lilith to actually agree to the idea, even though she kept complaining about how the relationship would be ruined.She eventually agreed, reluctantly.Just arrived, will be right in.Hades texted as he opened the door of the car and stepped out. He glanced up to Lilith's house where Ethan was, oblivious to the fact Lilith wasn't goin
Lilith stared through the glass of the restaurant, staring at Kirsten who seemed to have really gone her way to dress to impress Hades.Lilith would know.Kirsten always dressed like she walking on the runway, but there were some outfits she would only wear if she wanted to get someone's attention and that was Hades.Are you anywhere close by?A text from Kirsten popped up on Hades' phone once more. She wasn't as buggy or filled his screen with her texts. Kirsten wasn't that type. Hades was and so was Ethan.As creepy as it was, they were going to verse themselves. Going to try to ration with people that are almost themselves.Toughest decision they have ever made.Yeah. Just walking in....Lilith sighed out as she reached her hand to her forehead and walked into the restaurant where she immediately caught be attention of countless people.Having an already gorgeous woman walk in a couple of minutes ago, Kirsten, yet another breathe-taking beauty walked in in a stunning red pencil dre
Hades gasped out as he clenched onto his waist, failing to compose himself as the pain soaring through his body only gets worse, getting a groan from him every now and then."You, I didn't-.""Just shut the hell up." Hades sighed out shakily as he ran a hand through his hair while leaning back to the couch, unable to sit on it entirely with the pain at his waist.Ethan rolled his eyes as he stared down at Hades whose eyes are entirely closed and squeezed tight.Watching Hades become entirely fragile and weak could only force a smirk on Ethan's face as the once strong and stubborn Hades is now just as weak as he could get.It's funny how pain can make even the strongest men weak.Ethan thought to himself."Maybe your loud mouth can finally shut up." Ethan smirked down at Hades who glanced up at him with a glare in his eyes as he clenches onto his jaw."You could go to jail for this." Hades choked out as he tightened his already tight clench on his skirt."I know. But you won't tell the
Lilith sighs out as she stares down at Hades who's forehead is covered entirely with sweat from all of the pain covering his entire body, echoing like waves and each minute grows worse."It would be best if he got a doctor." Kirsten explains as her eyes drop down to his bloody bandage. "It might get infected.""I figured that too. I sent a text to one of the doctor's I know and they said they will be here in ten to twenty minutes. Hopefully." Lilith nods her head as she reaches her hand up to Hades' hand, holding it in hers. "Just hold on a little longer. Hades.""Don't worry I'm not going anywhere, with the possibility of seeing my baby." He chuckles as he smiles at her, getting Lilith to smile back and nod her head in agreement. "I want to know what they look like... Either me or you." He whispers as he stared at Lilith with drunken eyes as he holds her hand tighter than before. "I love you... You know that, right?"Kirsten clears her throat slightly and glances away, though very ex
"Ethan stop it!" Lilith screams out as she tries to shove Ethan away from her, only to have him clench tightly onto her waist."I promised to leave you, but I really can't bring myself to it." He sighs out as he stares down at her. "Who else will I go to? Should I start all over again? Trusting someone all and falling in love all over again... Do you think it's fair? While you don't have to because he already loves you... Why am I the one suffering?"Lilith slowly frowns as she stares at his honest and deep eyes, noticing he is talking from deep within his heart.She knows it isn't easy for someone to simply find another partner after spending most of their time with another person. Falling in love with a stranger isn't easy, getting to know them is a process and getting to settle with the flaws they have isn't easy...But her love for Hades won't make it easy for Ethan either.Even he knows there is no way of convincing her to stay with him, especially now that she is carrying his ch
(One month later)Hades chuckles under his breath as he continues to stare at the short video looping over and over again on his phone.He then presses his lips together when Lilith moves beside him, groaning out softly underneath the covers.A small smile spreads on his face as he reaches his hand down to her cheek and gently glazes his finger up agaisnt it, feeling the warmth from her body soak into his finger.Since a while ago, soon after he found out about Lilith's pregnancy, Lilith couldn't take it to heart to broadcast it to the internet, making him be known as her lover.She doesn't have the gut to show the entire world that she is pregnant for another man aside from the one they know of.The wierd thing was, Ethan never posted about it either, making him worry about what he's planning.If he really was going to disappear, he would have made it public.He leans back from her and turns towards the ceiling, feeling his throat turn dry from the mere thought of losing her once mor
The thought still lingers his mind as he stares at the sizzling egg in front of him, unmoving as it slowly turns brown.Lilith yawns for the hundredth time as she steps into the kitchen, only to catch the slight burning scent of the egg. She stops at the arch of the kitchen and stares at Hades who doesn't seem to notice the smell.A small frown makes its way on her lips as she walks over to him with furrowing brows."You okay?" She asks which startles him as he steps back before dropping his eyes down to the egg, finally catching the burning smell.He quickly lifts the pan up and away from the flame and walks towards the bin as he curses at himself."He's not okay." Lilith sighs to herself as she reached over to dials of the stove and turns off the flame before turning to glance at him. "What got you so preoccupied up in there?""Nothing much." Hades smiles towards her as he walks over to the sinks and rinses the pan off before heading back to the stove. "Just... Thinking about things
"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
