CHAPTER 03
Last Updated:
2025-01-07 16:49:07Walking among the tables, April made sure that all the clients were well served, nothing was lacking because the better service she gave to the clients, the better her own would be. Even if people thought that she worked in that place doing things that were not right for a single mother, the reality was that maApril de a different kind of living. Yes! There were women who were always ready to do an extra job in order to get some more bills, but April was not one of them. Slowly, she learned that every person had a reason to do things that might be questionable for others, and she had to respect that because she also had a reason to be working there even when she was already a mother.
Suddenly, darkness and pure evil fell in that place without April herself having seen it coming, a bar that consisted of two floors with the men with a little more money upstairs because if there was something to be said it was that people with a lot of money did not usually go to that bar. So what was that man dressed all in black doing in that place knowing who he was? But it was time that April hadn’t seen him. It seemed like the whole world had turned their heads to see him enter but her.
“Table number 43,” said her friend, handing over the order April had placed with her not five minutes before.
Annoyed and fed up with everything she had to do there and knowing that the night was long, April took the tray with the prepared drinks as she prepared to go upstairs. The more money people had upstairs, the more they felt the right to bother the women of the servants.
She couldn't refuse to go up to the second floor when that was her job. Perhaps, she would meet men a little more gentlemanly and they would tip her extra.
Sighing slightly, she continued on her way. With her eyes she was already looking for table number 43. As soon as she reached the table, she knew how to put a smile on her face. The men were watching her and if she didn’t want to lose that job, at least she had to show herself as a kind servant.
“Good evening, please enjoy,” April said, handing over the drinks.
Three men at the table looked at each other as soon as they noticed the view they had because of the uniform the woman in front of them was wearing. The white tight blouse with three buttons down and the necklace that moved, crashing onto her firm breast made those men hallucinate.
It was true that there were women with better curves and tighter waists, but that didn’t mean April hadn’t had that special enchantment that made men desire a little bit of her.
Immediately, April knew how to read the signals those three were giving each other regarding her. For a minute she feared for her safety.
“Enjoy your evening,” said April with the intention of running.
One of the men being faster than her, he grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her back to him.
“What's wrong with you, sir?” April shouted, pulling away from him. Her pulse increased drastically. She felt like a fragile bird in the claws of an eagle. A damned eagle that smelled like it’d bathed in alcohol.
“Don't play the saint, this is what all the women here do, so please me and my friends. We pay really well, darling!”
“Let go of me!”
“Don't you want to earn an extra tip, honey?”
“Let go of me, asshole!” She shouted, pulling away from the man.
The man smiled. “Call me whatever you want but kiss me!” Said the man, trying to kiss her.
By this time she could have had enough of what the world around her was doing to her. As soon as she felt being kissed by an asshole, April threw the first slap at the man only for the man to return her gaze with more force, ready to attack now the hard way.
Fearing what April was seeing in his eyes, she wanted to run only to end up being caught by the man's hand on her arm, the same one that was hurting her so much and in the end, end up on the ground with a single push. The fucking bastard had thrown her to the floor like she was trash and nothing else. April was being humiliated.
A single tear fell from her eyes when she faced the floor. Maybe that was her place all along.

It was always the same story of her life, but the difference was that now there was a fucking bastard who wasn’t going to leave that bar empty-headed. From the mere instant his lascive eyes fell on her, he knew that there was no other woman who could compare to her. There was something about her that drove him wild, maybe it was the way she tried so desperately to cover her breast or her ass without leaving behind her elegance. She was not like the women working there, she was a diamond among stones because while the others were willing to do anything and everything at once just to get an extra tip, there she was, getting offended by the way that bastard had talked to her. Come on! All women were the same, the only difference was in the gap between women who were quick to accept that extra tip and those who played hard to get. On the floor, with tears falling from her eyes, she still had time to think about how weak those tears might her see if that fucking bastard looked at them.

In a hurry, April approached the bar where her friend was serving the drinks. Adele worried at the mere instant she noticed that her friend was approaching in such a way. She didn’t look like the strong girl who was willing to face the whole world in order to get money for her son and make him live in the happiest way she can. “What’s going on, April? Are you okay, darling?” April sighed. She didn’t want to cry, she didn’t want to show her how fragile she was, she just wanted to face the world for her son as she’d always done. But if there was someone whom she couldn’t lie to, that was Adele. “April, what’s going on?” Adele raised her voice a little.April just shook her head. “April, a bastard tried to do something to you?” Adele knew very well that if there was a way to mess up with her, it was by molesting her. April shook her head again. “No, it’s nothing. It’s nothing, Adele.” “Tell me what’s wrong and I swear I’lll kill that bastard who-” “Adele!” A third voice shouted.

As last month, April had gone to her medical appointment but in the same way as the last three times, April had gone alone. Her gynecologist had asked the same question, why isn’t your husband here? And she replied the same, “he’s been working so much. He wants to give the best of the best to our baby.” “But you are one of the richest families in the city.” And with that, the doctor left her speechless. When the doctor understood that he had no right to talk about things he didn’t know, he decided to go to the bottom. Soon, April was gonna give birth to a beautiful baby and she needed to be okay until that moment arrived and, of course, for the rest of her days since her baby was going to need her forever. April agreed and promised the doctor that she was going to be okay for her baby, for herself, and for her husband because if there was something true that was that April loved her husband more than she could love herself. But all of that changed that day when she arrived earlier th

Leona woke up from her nightmare that, of course, felt like a dream since everything started. It is said that what is obtained the hard way is always destined to be taken away the same way. How was it possible that the human being was capable of living in the same emotional and sentimental emptiness in order to have all that he envied in the beginning?Six years had gone by since the last time Leona had seen her friend, the same one who had said a thousand times that she was her friend, the best, the best of all, the best of a group of women who had known each other to the most intimate of secrets.Through Leona’s mind passed those six years that now seemed to be nothing more than years of a past life, a life that she did not want to accept as hers. She finally had it all, she had the last name she envied April so much, she had married her best friend's man and above all, she had managed to conceive the heir to that company, or at least that was what everyone thought.

April was running back and forth while her son just watched her sitting in his chair while he finished his breakfast. If his mother had only arrived earlier, she wouldn't be like this, running from one side to the other. But what little Mateo didn't know was that he was all his mother's illusion, everything she needed to keep her going. The beautiful smile of her son drawn on his face shone brighter than ever, since that little angel was brought into her life as a miracle, she could no longer see beyond that pair of brown eyes where she couldn't help but see the vivid image of that man she once came to love with all her heart. It was unbelievable that all that love she once felt for him would end like that. Of course it was the father of that baby who caused her the worst pain, but that didn’t mean she didn’t love her son any less. In the end, her baby was innocent, that baby of hers never chose to have such a father. That baby of hers had come to life and was grateful for that. Th

All that could be heard after was a scream. Inside, the driver took off his dark glasses as soon as he realized what he had done while Lucian couldn’t even blink. Maybe it hadn’t been the driver’s fault, but in the end, the result was the same, a woman had been hit by a car and none of the people inside were aware of how serious the hit could have been. “What the hell did you do?” Manuel, Lucian’s friend, shouted.“I don't know, sir, I don't know, she just crossed the avenue without watching!” Said the man in complete panic. He didn’t know if he'd killed her. “Get out of the damn car and see what happened!” Manuel ordered. Without further ado, the man got out to see what he had done. Right behind the driver, Manuel got out and then, some seconds later, Lucian did the same. Of course it had been an accident, of course Manuel knew how to reward that misfortune to the person who was in the ground, but the truth was Manuel didn’t know what he could expect from that person.

April continued on her way after what had happened to her. When she knew she was away from the man, she finally was able to stop and take a look at her knee as if the hands of that handsome man had printed on her skin. She couldn’t help but smile. It was true that their first encounter wasn’t the best of the best, he even seemed to be bothered by having found her on the floor. The second time they looked at each other, he defended her, saying that she didn’t do the kind of job the other men he was with were expecting from her, and the last time, he showed himself as a man full of kindness. April’s depths burned when she felt the warm skin on her knee. It was a total experience. Finally, when she felt ready to continue her day and she realized the time she was arriving at her job, April lined up a little more and tried to cover her knee as she entered. Two other co-workers entered with her. “Good morning, April,” said one of the girls there.“Good morning!” She greeted them happily.

On her way to one of the biggest companies in the country, wearing a black sexy dress with high heels, a hat to cover her face from the sun, and sunglasses to not let anyone see that she was already there. Or at least, that was what she expected. At her side traveled her little boy, the naughtiest child in the whole world. He couldn't stop laughing at the videos his mother had put on the tablet so that he could be entertained on his journey to the company. She didn't want to have to deal with him in any way and for her, the best invention of mankind was tablets along with the internet. She hated so much not being able to have a life like other single women. She hated that her life had become like that. A woman who had a life full of fun and now with a child. Every time she was with her son, her head ached. “Mom, are we there yet?” She looked at her son. “Yes. We’re almost there.” “Mom, who is waiting for us?”Leona rolled her eyes without her son seeing it. “A friend.” “Who is th

UNDER HADES' RULES EPILOGUE
ONE YEAR LATER A year was gone in a way so different from what everyone involved knew. So much had happened and to narrate them all was to narrate how life had gone in one year. After Leona was captured by the DEA, several powerful drug trafficking networks also fell. Lucian was taken to the hospital the same way Adel was, there was time to talk about so many things that April still couldn't believe that life had turned out that way. Rose and Levi took the case forward, after Lucian recovered from the beating and the two broken ribs that Leona's men had caused by beating him so badly, he was able to testify along with April, the woman he loved so much. He also accepted his guilt and cooperated with the police in every way he could. Levi and Rose knew what their job was, they also had to proceed with Lucian and April because they too had made many mistakes. Adel also talked about the bad things Leona did. While she was in the hospital as well, outside the police were moving to make he

April started crying in desperation. Her heart had never hurt like that. It was her son who was in the power of that woman. Her son was all she had. “Please, please, Leona, please, don’t you dare to do anything bad to my son. Please, I’m begging you. He’s not guilty! Your problem is with me! Leave him alone!” April begged with a broken voice. Rose and Levi knew the worst was coming, so they rushed to call the police. It was the end. “If you want to see your son alive and say goodbye to your eternal love, come to this address, alone! I swear if you don’t come alone, I’ll kill your fucking bastard!” After saying so, Leona hung up. April yelled, pleaded, but Leona’s voice was no longer heard on the other line. Levi and Rose called the police. They were ready to attack and now they could clearly see that what they had fought for, what they had invested so many hours, so much effort, so many thoughts, was right in front of their eyes. One of the biggest drug trafficking networks was go

When Lucian learned he wasn’t going to any mansion as the three men had said to make him get into the van, it was too late. The darkness of the highway, the mystery of the place and everything as a whole made him realize that they were not going to the house of any mafia boss, but to the outskirts of the city. It was too late. He had no way to run. He couldn’t. His heart started pumping faster. He tried to get off the van, but two men grabbed him immediately, they started fighting with him, they punched him, kicked him, insulted him… But Lucian still fought. Many things ran through her head, but it was always April the protagonist. He didn’t want her to go through more pain. “Leave me alone, you fucking bastards!” Lucian said, trying to punch the men, but he was out of energy that he couldn’t do so much. The pain had dried out his energy. “You won’t go anywhere! Our lady was clear with her instructions. You will regret what you did to her!” One of the men said. Lucian kept fighting,

April was completely heartbroken that her logic didn’t work. No matter how loud her heart kept shouting at her that what Levi was doing with her wasn’t okay, she didn’t have the strength to push him away, she just stayed there, where she was feeling the coldest kiss she’d ever felt. April had no soul, no more love to give, no more hope to keep, no more happiness to hold. Lucian had taken everything with him. Lucian wasn’t any different, he was like any other man ready to stab the heart of a woman who’d just learned to love someone like him. Perhaps, that was the reason why she couldn’t do anything and didn’t want to. If allowing Levi to do that was going to bring her back a little bit of hope, she was willing to be his slave. But what April didn’t know was that she wasn’t the only one who had been betrayed or who was feeling the coldness of absence. In the depths of his coldness and darkness he’d rose; he had no hope, no love to offer, he had nothing aside from chests full of gold c

NEW ZEALANDThrowing the suitcases in the car trunk, Adel forced his sons to get into the car. Neither Mateo nor Lucas understood what was happening there. Suddenly, Lucas’ father changed his mood when he saw a mark on his friend’s back head. Lucas didn’t understand anything. His father was asking questions to Mateo, not many times Lucas had seen him like that, the last time something like that happened was when Adel was still with Leona, Lucas’ mother. They always fought, he always saw them arguing, the servants were there to try to cover up things but Lucas was always more intelligent than anyone to know that his parents didn’t enjoy each other’s company. Maybe that was one of the reasons Lucas never felt sad when Adel told him that Leona and him weren’t going to live together anymore. And now they were in that car, listening to the conversation Adel was having with the airline.Lucas and Mateo looked at each other. “Three tickets to California, United States! I don’t care if the

As Madeline descended to the first floor of the hotel, still with tears in her eyes and her spirits on the floor, her path was blocked by someone's feminine figure. Madeline looked up and realized that the woman looking down at her with a smile of triumph was the same woman who had taken everything from her.“Madeline! Or should I say… April?”April changed her posture and her gaze. She hated Leona, she hated her with all her might. She had caused her the worst pain, but April wasn't the same innocent and naive girl Adel and Leona knew, and Leona was going to be the first one to see it. April didn’t know why but it was always because of Leona that she couldn’t be happy. She didn’t owe anything to anyone, but life treated her as she would. What a small world was that where Leona was the real meaning of her downfall! But Madeline no longer feared her. Years had gone by saving those hard feelings she felt towards her, and now it was time to let her see her fury. She was going to rip o

Bloody tears ran down her cheeks. The same words kept hitting his head. She couldn't believe she was too stupid again to have believed in a man. She even gave herself to a man after she swore she wouldn't do it again. She thought Lucian was different, one of a kind, someone who wouldn't hurt her ever again, someone she thought would arrive to heal her wounds and make her stronger. Madeline, her name was never Madeline, she was just April, the innocent girl whom everyone mocked her all along. She believed every single word Lucian said. There was nothing he said she wouldn't have believed. And now she was there, hating Lucian when she also loved him. What a small world was this where she had to meet Leona's half-brother and fall in love with him. Damn it! She shouldn't have done it! She shouldn't have fallen for him!

NEW ZEALAND Time did not pass in vain, the days, the afternoons, the nights that went by in the same way but leaving behind something more than routine. In the midst of a battle was how April and all that came with her could not help but live. Nothing good had left her being a good woman, a dedicated woman who loved her husband so much, maybe that was what she thought when the deception came, but not too late when she had her baby in her arms she realized that every suffering and tear had been worth it. Then Lucian came along and gave her a new lease on life. And with that life also came the love she never thought she would feel for a man again. Lucian had meant everything for a moment. Even the opportunity he’d given Mateo to grow away from the battlefield his own mother had against his own father. Time didn’t pass in vain and Mateo knew it very well. Three months hadn't gone in vane for anyone. And when Lucian and April agreed that the best thing to do was to put her son in safe

SCOTLAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM ARKANAS CASINO The next morning came as if nothing had happened when the truth was that everything and more had happened. Everything around her felt different, it was like she’d woken up with Lucian’s cologne in her body, it was like his skin still burned against hers, the warmness of that morning brought a special fire with it. Whatever it was, it had to stop. That wasn’t the deal, but who was the first one to give in? She only had one thing in mind, it had to stop, she needed to stop breathing in his cologne, and stop hearing her own sounds that had filled the darkness of that night where she didn’t have control of herself. Stuffed in a red long dress, Madeline continued her way to the casino where she was supposed to see Lucian since she’d asked about him and they had informed her that Lucian had gone to an important meeting and he couldn’t wait for her anymore. It seemed like it wasn’t going to be really difficult to go on with their lives as they u
