Artemis' POV
I tried to distract myself by looking at the place while the three of them were already enjoying the place. We are here at their swimming pool area. That's why my eyes can't stop going back and forth to them. I saw Hades on Zelo's back, while they were laughing with each other, Ms. Yu is taking pictures of the two of them."Hey," she called me when she saw that I was looking at them. I didn't move. She's not telling anything. How would I know why she's calling me? I saw her sharp eyes when she looked at me."Come here! We need someone to take a photo of us," she said. I turned to the younger guard than me. He is one of Zelo's senior guards. His lips immediately parted and he couldn't believe that I was passing the command to him. Well, I'm not really sure who is Ms. Yu ordering either. Also, she didn't call my name either. I don't know if it really a command for me."I said you," she coldly said to me but because ZArtemis' POVZelo, who was carrying food, immediately put down the food before attending worriedly to his son. When he looked back at me, he glared at me as if I had the ability to hurt my children. I can't help but feel remorseful because of that.He just carries out child while Ms. Yu is holding Hades's hand. As if she was his mental support. I was dumbfounded for a while while looking at their place until I eventually straightened my back. I just went to where they were while taking the ointment from my pocket.I immediately saw them in the living room. The three of them are serious. When they saw me, I saw Hades avoiding me while Zelo continued to treat our child. Ms. Yu glared at me. "What are you still doing here? Isn't it enough that you almost hurt my child?” she asked me coldly so I slightly tightened my grip on the ointment.“I'm not here to put more pain on Hades. I just want to give him an ointment,"
Artemis' POVI was already off duty when I met Hades walking towards the kitchen. He just stayed on the beach earlier, he wasn't in the mood to swim. He was just looking at the ocean. While watching him earlier, it was like seeing myself. I was always like that when I was having a deep thought."Are you going to eat now? Should I ask the chef to get you the food you want?” I asked him."No, thank you. My mommy will get me food. We will eat together," he sounded so formal. He didn't say it rudely, but I really feel that the distance between the two of us has gone too far. I just nodded before letting him pass by. I just watched him walk until he completely disappeared from my eyes.I just went outside and tried to contact Athena. I stayed far away from the guards that are taking turns right now."Good evening, Baby," I greeted Athena softly but her usually happy voice couldn't be heard."Good evening,
Artemis' POV"Done with your call, huh? I thought you would catch up until morning," Zelo said coldly to me when I passed his way. My lips parted at what he said. Why does he sound mad and sarcastic? I just couldn't stop myself from frowning. It just faded when I saw Hades looking at me as well. Both of them are staring at me coldly.He was just sipping his orange juice while listening to what his father was saying. I feel like I want to suddenly kick Zelo for the idea of him saying this kind of thing in front of our son."Why do you look like you are coaxing whoever you are talking with? You keep on walking back and forth as if you are not your usual self? What does he want you to do? Asking you to go home now? Can't sleep without you next to him?" he asked me with a smirk. I frowned at him there. He was mocking. I know he doesn't know about Athena but I felt like he was insulting her with the way he said it. That's why I can't stop my bl
Artemis' POV"What do you mean?" I immediately stood up from my seat when I heard what my brother said."We are on our way to the hospital. I need to go. I just informed you. I'll call you again later," he said. He didn't wait for me to speak and immediately turned off the cell phone. My lips parted because of that call. My heart was pounding and anxiety took over me.I just looked at the anklet tracker on my foot. I have the key. Me and Macoy already worked to create a duplicate. I just don't remove it because I have no plans to run away yet. I was just making sure that Zelo won't suspect me but I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight if I don't leave to check on my daughter. I just dropped my tracker on the bed before I jumped out the window here in my room. I saw some guards who were serious about their work. Only three of them are awake now so I slowly approach them.I secretly knocked them down one by one. It wasn't difficult. But I can say that Zelo's guards are really a dif
Artemis' POV"Is that you, Mama?" she asked with surprise on her face. She even tried to touch my cheek so I smiled at her. After a while, her tears began to fall."I'm not dreaming at all, right, Mama?" she asked, so I nodded to her, which is why she started crying. She couldn't stop herself from hugging me so I couldn't stop my bitter smile while I hugged her back. She cried even more while Ares and Seb just chuckled because of the two of us."You look like you are oppressed, huh?" Her Uncle laughed teasing her but she didn't let go of me. She can't stop crying so I can't stop my own tears. I just caressed her back while her tears kept on falling."I miss you so much, Mama," she said to me. I just smiled before kissing her forehead."I miss you too, Baby..." I softly said to her."I wanted to call you every time and ask you to go home to me," she said so I just smiled before staring at her. She was looking at my eyes now. It was as if she was memorizing everything about me so I just
Artemis' POV"Not yet, Baby..." I said to Athena so she poured before nodding at me."But I'll try to introduce you and him to each other someday..." My voice is almost like a whisper and unsure of what I'm saying to her."Does he know how to fight?" she curiously asks."He'll start to learn, he said..." I said, making Athena nod."I'll protect him while he can't fight yet then," she said so a smile gradually curved from my lips before I messed up her hair."I hope he wants a sister so we can be close, Mama..." Athena continued to say so I just smiled. I don't really know what to say. I don't know if I'll be able to bring her brother with me. I'm not giving up that idea but I know I'll have a really hard time doing that. My son has his complete family right now. He is happy with his father and Ms. Yu. Even if Ms. Yu sometimes acts rude, she's a good person to my son."He was also always ranked 1 at his previous school... And he was known as one of the youngest kids who won in a nation
Artemis' POV"What did you just do, Artemis?" he asked angrily. He wasn't even wearing his formal clothes. He was wearing only a black jogger and a gray shirt while anger was clearly visible in his eyes.“Oh, I just tried to check my health. I was feeling bad earlier. I also intend to return to the island," I said, laughing awkwardly, but it seemed that my smile could do nothing on his angry face now. I also felt nervous when he looked at the hospital. He came closer to me and tried to put the back of his palm on my forehead."Liar," he said, so I cleared my throat."You fucking went out of the island with just you in the boat. Fuck it. Are you even thinking, Artemis?” he asked, glaring at me. I just closed my eyes and didn't speak. He also knew that he was right."Well, I survived and I'm okay. I checked up. I intend to return to the island now," I said, smiling at him but the coldness in his eyes remained as if he was judging my entire personality."Can we go back now? I'm tired alr
Artemis' POVI did not speak to his question. I already said that I can die just for my daughter. He just kept looking at me. His anger subsided for a little while. I don't know if I read his eyes correctly or if my eyes are just deceiving me. He looked sad. He turned his back on me and it seems that he called Junio. He just called them to stop looking for me because I was already with him. I'll be really true to my words but before that, I should inform my brother not to talk about Athena whenever we text and call each other when we are talking about finding the culprit for the attempted kidnapping. Athena and I should be patience for a while. I just don't know if I can handle not talking with her for a while.Zelo turned to me when he saw that I was standing quietly on one side watching him."Let's go," he said coldly and walked towards the yacht first. I don't know where this yacht came from. I just obeyed and didn't argue with him anymore because he seemed to be in a bad mood alr
