Artemis' POV
He stopped because of that. I used that opportunity to remove his hand from me but before I could run again he grabbed my wrist."I need to go, Zelo! Can you hear me?! I fucking need to fucking find my daughter!” I shouted loudly. I didn't care if he got to know more about Athena. What is important is my daughter's safety.I couldn't stop the tears from falling from my eyes when I looked at him in the eyes."Please just let me go, Zelo... I need to find my daughter... I can't forgive myself if something bad happens to Athena..." I said, unable to hold back my sobs and my knees gradually softened as his hand didn't release his grip on me.I also know that it is unlikely that I will be able to get out of here now if I do not ask for his help."Please... Just this one, Zelo... I can't afford to lose my daughter. I want to see Athena…” I said, unable to stop crying. I was still holding on toArtemis' POVI bit my lip hard when I realized that I had been so occupied with Athena that I didn't realize that there were some people here and also couldn't stop biting my lip when I realized that Zelo was just staring at Athena now."Why do you have bandages, Mama? Are you being hurt here? And why are you on your knees while crying? Do you want to go home? Who doesn't want that?" she asked as her eyes gradually narrowed as she turned around to look at Zelo. I immediately cleared my throat before I shook my head at my daughter."It's not like that, Baby... Mama just got hurt on her own," I said, turning her to face me because I could see her sharp eyes looking at her father.I looked again at Hades who was just looking at the two of us. He looks like he was lost. I bit my lip hard as I didn't know what to do now. Athena faced me again before she stared at me."Should we go home now, Mama? Please say yes... If t
Artemis' POVI just called my brother before Athena fell asleep. He and Seb could breathe a sigh of relief after the talk."Your daughter really inherited you being a headache!" Ares complained to me from the other line."I'm sorry for the trouble. She is okay now. She's already sleeping… Thank you for the help, Ares and Seb… I'll take care of her for now…” I said so Ares let out a sigh."I think I have a fault why she went there. She must have heard our conversation. I thought it wasn't like that because she just came to school then and acted like nothing happened," Ares said, so I just shook my head and couldn't help but laugh because this kid can be an actress too."You two should rest now. I'm sorry if I didn't answer the call right away and thank you for looking for her. I'm sorry again for the trouble.”"It's alright. As long as she's fine now. But your girl really gave us a headache! She'll e
Artemis' POVEven now that I see Athena sleeping peacefully, I still can't calm down because her brother is on my mind right now. I couldn't help but sigh before standing up. I saw Junio straighten his back while watching over us now. A few guards were in guarding mode as if I was going to do something bad."I'm not going to do anything. I'll just visit Hades," I said, making Junio raise his eyebrows. He even said that to Zelo from the other line. Zelo is very busy now and I think that it's connected to what happened last night. He just didn't want to talk about it."Here's Mr. President," Junio said, handing the intercom to me. I just rolled my eyes."I told you to rest. Don't add more headache to me, Artemis," he said to me coldly."It won't take long. I'll just check on Hades. They said he hasn't had dinner yet," I said. He didn't speak for a while but eventually, he let out a sigh.“Fine. Just
Artemis' POVAthena and I were already at the table and I was giving her food when Ms. Yu came with my son. Athena immediately looked at me with questioning eyes.I could not immediately explain to her about Ms. Yu. I know Athena is smart but everything is too complicated for her little mind."So it's true that you brought another kid here. Are you sure it's also Zelo's kid?" Ms. Yu can't stop herself from talking. If she was just insulting me, I would just let it go. But not really this time."Excuse me?" I raised my eyebrows at her so she looked at me as if challenging me."What? Did you bring some kids here so you won't need to leave? What? You are going to leech over my fiance?” she asked."I don't care about all your insults about me, Ms. Yu, but don't let me hear any insult for my children." I looked at her coldly. I saw her closing her mouth because of how sharp my eyes were. And it looks like
Artemis' POV"Excuse me, Mr. President, but you don't have to give us a new room. Now that Mama's wound is almost fine, it looks like we can go home," Athena said to Zelo. Because Zelo is saying that he has a room prepared for Athena and me."Athena, Baby... We'll just have to talk about it first, right?" I said softly to her. She just pouted there."But the only reason you are staying here is because you are coaxing Hades, however, it looks like it will be impossible, Mama... He won't come with us. He already has his own life here.” Athena seems to have thought about it already while I just sigh.Zelo sat across from Athena, I know that he's doing his best to win Athena's heart. Athena just stared at him for a while too."Can you give me a chance, Baby? I want to know more about you…” Zelo's voice cracks while staring at my daughter's eyes. Athena was just coldly looking at him. I know Athena is always like that
Artemis' POV"You can spar with your father. You can surely win against him," I said to Athena so she immediately looked at me while Zelo laughed there."What? You really think I'm still weak, huh?" He even smirked at me so I raised an eyebrow at him. As if he wasn't. He chuckled before shrugging his shoulders. I also really want to bond with my son."Why? Does Mama always push you on the ground, Mr. President?” Athena asked, making me laugh softly. It's not just that because Zelo couldn't study for the whole day due to body pain every time he was sparring with me, but look at him now, he can take me down easily. I still train in Cebu all the time, but it looks like he also did the same while being here.Athena had removed her glasses so it was obvious that the three of them really looked alike. Hades was quiet by my side, he seemed like he was in deep thought while still watching his father and Athena."if you ch
Artemis' POVI gave Athena water so she thanked me. She hesitated before voicing her thoughts."I know that he just let me kick him. He's not a good actor," she said, trying to hide her smile but she didn't succeed. I laughed because it's true that her father is not a good actor.The smiles on our lips disappeared when Ms. Yu went Inside. She's giving me some snacks. She called Hades who briefly looked at Athena and me. I smiled softly at him while Athena just rolled her eyes. Ms. Yu also went straight to Zelo's place and put her hand on his arms.Athena just continued to drink while I just stared at my daughter. Trying to look at the expression on her face."Can we go outside, Mama? I want to watch the guards who are sparring together." Athena even tried to smile at me but her secret look at her father and brother did not escape from my eyes. Eventually, I just sighed before nodding to her. She just held my hand
Artemis' POV“Whatever. You don't have to answer. I don't really care," I said and just sat down."Whatever you are thinking didn't happen. You really have a dirty mind," he said, shaking my head. I just rolled my eyes at him and immediately changed the subject because why am I getting angry if something really happened between the two of them here? They are getting married soon. It will be normal for the two of them."We talk about how we are going to end our deal," he said when he saw that I was not speaking. I was silent and stared at him because of what he said before I cleared my throat."Why don't you start talking about Mr. Vice President?” I asked, trying to segway our conversation. He just looked at me for a while. He was already frowning because I didn't listen to his explanation anymore."I saw Honey. One of the members of the Tigers," I said. It seems that it is not new to him. I think he knows about t
