CHAPTER 4: His name
“Dark Hades…is my name.”
I couldn’t help but be amazed at his face. I am so mesmerized that I couldn’t find the right words to say. I didn’t know that there is a person that could be this handsome. How is it possible?
I was taken abacked when he suddenly walk towards me. I didn’t know what to do so I unconsciously step backwards.
“W-Why did…you run away the last time…we saw each other?” I nervously asked. I’ve never been this nervous before. It’s a different form of nervousness. I am nervous not because I feel in danger but because of his presence. His different presence.
He stared at my eyes that I almost choked on my own words. Damn! Why am I like this over a man? I cannot believe this!
“Because it wasn’t yet the time.” My brows shot up at what he said.
“What do you mean?” I asked confused. He craned her neck like he wants to examine my w
CHAPTER 5: CoffeeI slowly walk towards him. He is standing at the entrance so I have to come nearer to talk to him. When I we got nearer to each other I pulled his hand and dragged him outside where there’s no people that could see us.“Did you already know what happened?” I asked confused. Impossible! Is it just coincidental that he went here while an incident was happening?He just looked at me with his serious eyes. He was so tall that I still need to look up to him to see his eyes. I stepped backwards and stared at him suspiciously.“How did you know that it would happen?” I asked. But I got irritated when he didn’t say anything.“Why couldn’t you answer me?!” I asked mad.“You need me right?” my eyebrow waggled. I was taken aback at what he asked.“What do you mean?” I asked a bit distant.“Since you need me you can’t ask too many
CHAPTER 6: IncidentThe only thing that I could tell is…it was so awkward!Damn! I was the only one who’s drinking the coffee and he was just there sitting in front of me while staring! Damn! It was so weird and my damn heart almost went out of my chest.He’s so weird!“Are you sure you don’t want anything?” I asked after I sipped on my coffee. Because it’s almost midnight the customers of this café is wasn’t that crowded.“How many times did you ask that already?” he raised a brow. I blinked twice and I feel so embarrassed! How many times do I have to embarrass myself in front of him?“It’s just weird…that I am the only one who’s drinking the coffee.” I said slowly. I looked away and just sipped on my cup. I am totally felt so awkward. I didn’t know him that much but I can tell the he’s not an ordinary person like the others. There is something in him that’s different.
CHAPTER 7: The past“Another incident has occurred…” he whispered. My eyes widened and because of shock I pushed him away and look at him with my eyes narrow.“D-Dark? What are you doing here?” I asked a bit nervous of his sudden presence. I’m not ready to see him yet but no one knows how much I also want to see him. I’m weird right?“There’s…a car accident happened.” He said while staring at me with his mysterious eyes. I looked away and I heard the loud siren of the ambulance approaching. So it was true? There’s an accident?“That’s why you’re here?” I asked unconvinced. He nodded and looked at me. I sighed heavily and walk towards my car I glanced at Dark who was just watching me. I am really trembling at his eyes. There’s a part of me that wants his eyes for me but there’s also a part of me that I didn’t want it.“You won’t get in, right?” I asked him while opening my door of t
CHAPTER 8: VanishI can’t believe that I actually remember where I first saw that tattoo. I can’t be mistaken. I saw that tattoo on Reybert’s wrist. I immediately stood up and took all the old files of Reybert’s case. I hid it in here in my office. When I found it I open the pages where the police recorded his transactions. They did not suspect this transaction because they thought it just part of Reybert’s vulcanizing shop but I wasn’t convinced that it was just like that.I checked all the files and I saw that most of his transactions are always named by Eric Garner. My eyebrows furrowed as I read every details of it. It says rubber export. I heaved a deep sigh and stared at the name Eric Garner. I searched him on the Social Medias but there are so many results. But one thing caught my attention.There’s a man who’s so familiar to me. I clicked his profile picture and my eyes widened when I remembered his face!Th
CHAPTER 9: Stay“What do you mean by that?” I stood up and looked at him with my confused eyes. I don’t understand him. What did he mean by he needs to vanish from here if I already know the truth? And what truth is he talking about?He also stood up and put his hand on his pockets. The smile he had earlier turned into seriousness again. Why do I have this feeling that there is something strange is happening? I know that he is already strange from the very start but the way he looks at me, the way he talks it gives me worries.“I wasn’t supposed to be with here, or even to be with you. But I don’t know why I keep returning to you. But this time you have to listen to me. You have to hear the truth, from there the case would be solve and you only have to do is to find evidence.”I sighed heavily and shook my head. What is he talking about? Did he know alr
CHAPTER 10: FallingIt felt like just a dream because after that kiss he left me dumbfounded. I don’t know what to react or what to do. I want to talk to him for some more but suddenly he walked away like nothing happened.I sighed heavily as I stared at my laptop. It’s been 24 hours since the kiss happened and it’s all stuck in my mind. The more I think about it the more I want to see him. I closed my eyes while thinking deeply and unconsciously I touch my lips with my fingers. It was my first and I want to treasure it because it was with him.“Detective.” I looked at Inspector Kyline who just went inside of my office.“What is it?” I asked. She put a folder under my table and my eyebrows furrowed when I looked at it.“It’s a report about Mr. Rosario’s bank accounts and I just found out that he’s been loaning a huge of money and he ordered to transferred it to Jean Fajardo’s account.” She said. I h
CHAPTER 11: Really badI woke up with my head throbbing. I held my head and I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing I saw is a white ceiling. My brows furrowed and I immediately sat down on my bed but Inspector Kyline went to me and held my back.“Detective don’t move that much!” Inspestor Kyline said and tried to check on me. I am in the hospital. How did I end up here when the first thing I remember is I was falling in the cliff and…Dark Hades-“Who brought me here?” I asked confused. I looked around but I didn’t see Dark Hades. Where is he? He’s the one who save me right?“A couple saw your car parking in the east high way and they saw you there unconscious.” Inspector Kyline said. My brows waggle at what she said. What? My car? I was falling in the cliff so how…I closed my eyes intently because my head is aching so much.“Are you okay? Just wait here, I will call the doctor
CHAPTER 12: SlaveI couldn’t hide my smile while staring at my laptop. Every time I think about what happened last night it always made me happy. I feel so light and the joy I am feeling is overwhelming.Dark Hades promised me last night that we will see each other today at the café. I don’t how will he do that but I’m looking forward to that. I am very excited to see him today.“Detective Lux!” I almost jump out of my seat when Inspector Kyline went in to my office. I frowned while looking at her.“What?” I asked. She walked near me and she slammed the table between us that made me confused.“What the hell did you do? Why did you suddenly leave the hospital?!” she asked. I forgot that I only escaped the hospital without informing everyone. It almost slipped on my mind.“I had to do an important thing and I was in rush that time so haven’t had the chance to inform
EPILOGUEEveryone says that love isn’t true or it’s just imagination of a human mind. It is just a happiness that always turned out to be sadness. It’s a feeling you cannot let go but you have no choice but to hold out someone’s hand. It is a matter of tears and struggles.But why do people still hold on to this feeling even though they know that it is just imagination?In the end they will say, it’s love, you can’t resist it or even ignore it because this is your heart deciding.It is love even though you are just admiring him or her from afar. It is love even though it is just one sided love. It is love when you care for someone more than your life. It is love when you cried and longed for someone. It is still love even until death.They are the things I repeatedly say on my mind while staring at the night sky. The moon is in a crescent, the
CHAPTER 25: LightningI am still bewildered while staring at Hade. I can’t believe that he’s here in front of me. It’s been so long since I last saw him. Am I hallucinating? Damn!“W-Who are you?!” Reybert asked with his wide eyes open. Like me, he is also shock seeing Hade in front of us but maybe he is even more shock because he didn’t know that Hade can communicate with people like us.“It’s me. Hade,” Hade introduce himself. Reybert put down his gun. He also cannot believe what he’s seeing right now.“You’re dead! How come-““I am living with another world but I came here to visit you,” I can sense danger in Hade’s voice. I can’t believe. I really can’t understand why of all the creature in another world, he’s here standing like he is still alive. I don’t be
CHAPTER 24: Long time no seeTears stream down on my face like a damn water falls. I can feel how my knees are trembling from the emotions that spread through me. The memories that I lost and covered by the false moments has come back with the most painful truth that the man I love…was the person who cared for me the most until back then.The man who protects me no matter what that even cost…his life.And now that I’m seeing Reybert in front of me all I could feel is hatred, anger and wrath. How could he do this to his brother? How could he do this to me? The man I trusted, the man I believed in was the man who I’ve never imagined that would ruin my whole life.“Do you remember now?” he asked with his evil grin. I baled my fist and glared at him through my overwhelming tears on my eyes. He laughed evilly after I glared at him.“Now you
CHAPTER 23: HadeMy head is throbbing and I can’t think straight because of the memories that keeps bugging on my head. Is this because of the trauma I had? Was it very serious that some of my memories got erased? I put down the keychain and my eyes looked for other things that might lead me to the truth.The next thing I saw was a music box. As soon as I opened the box a hymn of a familiar music started to play as the ballerina keeps circling around. My lips parted from the emotions I am feeling from watching the ballerina while listening to the music.“I wonder what place I could go where you can’t find me,” I said sarcastically as a man sit beside me.“There’s no place like that because I can always find you,”“Where’s Reybert? I want him here!”
CHAPTER 22: EvilI couldn’t sleep because of what happened. Dark Hades’ words are keeps repeating on my mind. I also didn’t know that dawn is now coming. A new tomorrow is now coming with piled up lies and misunderstanding are also coming ahead. I still manage to shower even though I’m not in the mood to go in the office but these confusions would not end if I do not conduct an investigation.“You’re working early?” mom asked when I went out of my room.“Yeah,” I answered and sipped on my coffee that she serves in front of me.“Don’t overstress yourself, Majesty,” she warned. I just nodded before I waved goodbye.While in my office I keep repeating the words that Reybert said to me yesterday. If the things he said to me were true then Dark Hades was there that night. Damn! It’s really making my head bur
CHAPTER 21: Where it all startedI can’t move my body. I felt like I am pinned to the ground that I couldn’t even step my foot. I can’t believe this. I can’t believe what I just heard.“M-Majesty…I didn’t die…and I want to come back to clear my name…” he added.My brows furrowed while my tears are slowly forming in the side of my eyes. I don’t know what to feel. I don’t know what to say. For the past 10 years I was chained into this case. I was wondering why I witnessed that kind of scene. I also think why Reybert did those things. I was also blaming myself back then because I didn’t do anything to stop them. But right now hearing that Reybert is alive…what really happened?What happened that night?What happened? Damn it! Why do I have False Memory? Everything is in chaos! My mind is damn in
CHAPTER 20: False MemoryI am still confused from the things I just found out. I didn’t know that the man that Reybert fought that night was found dead. Was it a reason why they stopped investigating the case because they knew that there is no suspect in that case?I decided to go to my doctor after that. I have to do my checkup. I did a visit to doctor Galvez. She was my doctor when I was a child from the traumatic experience. She guides me to heal and recover from the things I witnessed.“It’s nice to see you again Detective Lux,” she greeted me. I nodded and smiled at her. I explained to her the things that I discovered from the memories I have.“In your past test I also noticed some difficulties from your brain. I thought it was just fine caused you remembered everything all that happened that’s why it wasn’t a problem anymore because you seems so sure ab
CHAPTER 19: CorruptedA long time ago I was a witness for someone’s death but because of a poor evidence and the sudden disappearance of the murderer the case were closed. I was so sad and devastated that time. So I promised to myself that I will be the one who will find the murderer someday that leads me into this job. But while finding out the truth behind that case I met this man. He is so mysterious and always comes out when something dangerous is happening.I was blinded out by my love for him that I couldn’t saw our differences. I became selfish. I want him for myself not thinking about his side or what danger it might bring to his existence because I was too in love and I can’t even let go.But this time with tear streaming down on my face he’s in front of me telling that he came from hell, that he is different. It made my heart shuttered into pieces because even though I heard those words
CHAPTER 18: From hellI am spacing out while sipping my own coffee after I read the information. I know from the start that maybe Dark Hades isn’t normal. He isn’t like us. He is different to us. But why do I still into him? Even though I know that he is different why do I still accept him? Why am I still in love with him?I can’t ask him because I know the consequences after that. He would vanish and disappear. I want him to stay but I am being too selfish. Then I remember again the dream I had. Someone warned me in my dream. I could be the reason of Dark Hades’ downfall.While staring at my coffee I almost jumped on my seat when someone went in the coffee shop and pointed a gun to the girl who is in the counter.“Give me the cash!” the guy said. My eyes widened. I couldn’t move. The girl is panicking while opening the cash and gave it to the man but the man
