Artemis' POVI was about to answer but Zelo was sent to another table so I had no choice but to follow him. Of course, a lot of people are leeching over him. Some of those people I saw at the bar where I met the Governor recently are also here. After a while, the Vice President was speaking. If I just didn't know how fuck up he works, I might believe his flowery words."I would like to thank everyone for giving me a chance to help. As a child, I really wanted to help. Just like what I said, I didn't grow up in a luxurious family and even the one peso is important... It was really my pleasure to help—" He was saying a lot, but the one that keeps on replaying through my mind is those photos of kids that were rescued by Zelo from the syndicate they lead. All of those politicians involved are really disgusting. How are they able to face people despite what they are doing behind their backs?They can really fool someone with their words and people easily take it because that's what is eas
Artemis' POV"Kill them all. You won't let anyone live," I said coldly before I got on the motorcycle that I used earlier. I drove it so fast while I was on the road and planning to go to the address given by Ms. Yu.I texted the address to Zelo too. He stops me from going on my own but fuck it. Who can be quiet until the kids are fine? I know that he's already thinking of a plan but I can't wait any longer. Every second counts. I can't bear thinking about my kids being hurt right now."Calm the fuck down, Artemis!" Zelo's losing his cool. I also heard the sound of his car."How can I, Zelo? The kids are in danger! Damn it! This is my fault! I should have been there with them!” I shouted as the cars were constantly overtaking every transportation on the road. Some are cursing me but I don't care anymore."Just take the kids out. I'm the one they're looking for," I said, trying to calm my voice down. I should have done it before. So that no more innocent children are getting affected n
Artemis' POV"You are not in the place to fucking do whatever you want, Umbrielle! You are fucking here to do our bidding for you to get your kids, right? Why are you still acting like you have the upper hand?” she said with a smirk as she approached me but ended up shouting while crying because I shot Welsey one after another.How come their staff is here already? Looks like she already called a lot of backup. It was full of noise outside. Probably some PSGs with us too. Gunshots are the first to be heard there."Why? Aren't I? Even if you swarm over me, I'll still be on top of you all," I said. In less than a few seconds, I was now in front of her with the gun still pointed at her head."You already did a lot of trouble. I would like to end you now," I said without thinking twice about firing the gun but someone was ahead of me. They shot my hand first, so right before I let go of the gun, I hit her in the arm."Fuck," I croaked when I felt the numbness in my hand. Before I could mo
Artemis' POVHoney removed the tie from my mouth before laughing and staring at me."If I just knew that this is how I'll see you having a reaction, I wish I had done it back then," she said with a laugh while looking at me."You fucking demon! Fucking let go of my kids. I'm the reason why you're doing this," I said angrily, making her laugh even more. Same with her people, they seemed to be watching television. My eyes spoke in anger and I couldn't look at the kids who kept crying especially when Honey slapped me again."Bitch, you don't want to piss me right now," she said with a smirk, extending her hand and waiting for her people to give her whip.My eyes widened and I could feel the fear as she hit the two kids without hesitation. They tried to groan silently, as if they really didn't want to show that they were hurt, while I felt like my soul had fled."What are you doing, Honey?! Stop it! I'll fucking kill you once I get out of this fucking tie. I'll make sure of that!” I shout
Artemis' POV“Or maybe it's already a mess though? Maybe his stench is really coming out," I drawl before laughing again. While trying to fuck with their slow-witted mind, I started using the broken piece from the window, it was just near me. I used it to remove the rope from my hand. I acted like I was already out of breath while still laughing. Maybe I can become an actor in this kind of situation.Same time there was a bang from the door, I completely removed the rope from my hand. I can feel the pain in every part of my body. I can already hear the siblings squealing as they prepare for whoever is coming in. I took advantage of that to remove the rope from my foot.I don't care if every wound hurts, if the deep bullet wounds hurt, and where my anger will take me now. They hit both of them 54 times while I was looking. I'll fucking kill 54 people right now. No, I'll fucking kill every single one of them. The children's wounds are their fucking debt to me.I still held the broken p
Artemis' POV"So lucky." Honey burst out laughing even though she was struggling. Zelo looks like he was really in pain when Honey held him.It was as if I was frozen in place when I saw that Honey and the Vice President pointed their guns at the two of them at the same time. Zelo was panting when he sat down. I saw how he tried so hard not to pass out. I could clearly see the blood from his body.When I looked at my son, Hades, he tried not to cry. He just bit his lip as the tears continued to fall."What are you doing here, Little Boy? Say your speech to your Mom and Dad before I'll kill you. It will probably be nice to see their reaction when you die in front of them," the Vice President said with a laugh."Fuck you. Fucking let go of my child," I retorted while pointing the gun at the Vice President but my hand was shaking. I don't know who to turn my eyes to. Hades who looks so terrified but tries his best to act strong and Zelo is forced to stand while looking in so much pain. I
Artemis' POVAfter a while, I knocked some of them down, we continued running. My eyes just widened when a gun hit Zelo's side.“Fuck. Are you okay, Zelo?” I feel the nervousness while looking at him. I immediately came to where they were hiding before I cut off the pants I was wearing before tying them to him."What? Can you still do it?" I had a worried look on my face when I asked him. He smiled at me there."I still can, don't worry about me," he said as he picked up a gun from the floor but he was already gasping for breath. There was also a trace of concern on the faces of Athena and Hades. Their tears were still forming but they just stopped themselves from crying. Damn! How can we let these kids experience something this cruel? I just bit my lip hard before I let them go.The number of people there increased even more, it seems that some of their back-ups have arrived because we can already hear the footsteps of them running towards us."The car is at the back. I'll do somethi
Artemis' POVI woke up in a white room. I immediately got nervous before I looked around. I got up and the two who were sitting while talking in whispers were shocked by my sudden movement. Their eyes widened when they saw me."Mommy!" they shouted loudly before attending to me and hugging me tightly. I feel the pain of the wounds now but I don't care about that. What is important is the hug of my kids. They couldn't hold back the sobs, so tears started to fall from my eyes. I couldn't even stop crying. I can't believe I put these young kids on something like that."Sorry, my Athena and my Hades... Mama was not able to protect you... Please forgive Mama..." I cried as they continued to shake their heads."You did your best to protect us, Mama..." they said while still trying to wipe the tears from my eyes. I cried even more when I saw the bruises on every part of their faces."Come here, Babies..." They came closer to me while I kissed every bruise on their face."I hope Mama's kiss
