UNDER HADES' RULES CHAPTER 18
It was ten o'clock in the morning and a woman with a glass of red wine, unable to stop smiling over and over again at the memory she had in her mind. Everything had been so fast, not even she herself had realized the whole day had been spent in the same way, thinking about the same person she shouldn't, what no one knew was that she was a damn shameless, a woman who didn't care about anything but her new prey. And that was the case with Leona at that moment, that smile full of vanity, that way she sat, that way she looked at nothingness and at the same time, at everything because it was in that nothingness where her everything was. All that she saw as her sole purpose. Suddenly, she got up from the place that her husband was supposed to be using at that hour, but being the man he was, Leona was the one who best occupied that place. She had a new idea in her mind, that man, she would never forget the impulse, the beat her heart felt every time she saw that man full of power. That w

“Tomorrow a van will pick you up and take you to my mansion, tell me where you want me to meet you and my men will be there waiting for you. Prepare your things and your son's things. Or if you don't want to bring anything, I'll buy everything. I don’t really care.”“No, no, the truth is that it is not necessary. The day I allow you to buy something for me or for my son again, it will be because I will have earned it with my work, okay?”Lucian looked at her as he had rarely looked at a woman. She was a brave woman, a woman capable of anything, a woman who would make it to heaven if she wanted to do it. She liked her and she was the kind of woman he needed to feel capable in front of any power that would fall into his hands.The indications were clear enough to. “But not everything can be perfect, dear April.” April didn’t say anything but the disappointment was obvious. She herself knew that nothing could be perfect in the world and hearing her future boss saying those words, it wa

Laughing with mockery, Leona walked down the stairs as she continued laughing at the words that he had said to her husband. She was such a bitch, she was such a cold-hearted woman who didn’t feel anything, who just worked for her own interest and even her son was part of those businesses she initiated. Finally, when she reached the office, she sat on the leather chair and started smiling at her memories. Those memories that made her happy and made her know that she was capable of everything. If she’d had Lucian in her depths, it was possible to have him not twice, not thrice, countless times, as many times as she wanted. Suddenly, the phone rang. She rolled her eyes and picked up. “Mrs. Acosa speaking. What do you want?” She said. “Mrs. Acosta?” “Yes, what can I do for you?” “I’m officer Luna. I have important news to share with you.” “What are you talking about?”“We found a body in the ravines. Mrs. Acosta, it looks like your friend’s remains had been rescued and we can of

After noticing the way she looked at the place, Lucian finally smiled. That was the last thing he would have expected, at the end of the day if he had managed to impress her with everything he had there. If only he knew the work she was about to do in that place, he would make her feel like she owned it all.“Come in, come in, please,” said Lucian, showing her around.What could one say about this space? No more than a large library, a large space in which all business seemed to be done there, she remembered her life, she remembered the space in which she lived but was never happy and too late she realized it. But now that she had her son by her side, now that she had nothing else in the world, she felt that her son was enough to make her happy.“There is a lot to talk about, I hope you can listen until I finish talking. I promise I will answer all your questions until the end, just until the end,” said the man, taking some documents that he had kept perfectly.That was no more than t

When they were in front of each other, looking into each other’s eyes, Leona couldn’t hide that desire that was seeing through her eyes, but Lucian knew how to react right away and hugged his half-sister. He preferred to avoid that look in his half-sister’s eyes and offered her a hug. He was glad he did it because Leona started crying on his shoulder. “What happened, Leona? What happened?” Leona smiled between tears. “Lucian… Lucian, it was… it was my friend. The police found the remains of my friend. She disappeared from our lives 6 years ago, I thought she’d gone away, and indeed… she has gone away…” Leona said. “I want to prepare her funeral, I want to give her my last farewell. I want to… do the best for her… But I don’t know how… I don’t know how…” “I’m gonna help you, Leona. I’m gonna help you.” Leona smiled again. It seemed that she’d found the best method to get closer to Lucian. She didn’t know how long it would take her, but she was going to have that man right into her

The work Levi thought could be easy ended up being one of the most difficult and it wasn’t exactly for the things that he could have done in order to achieve the final piece of his investigation, no, the result wa completely different and his disappointment increased the moment he found out that all the things that he had done with his team work were no more than an illusion, a mask that the real criminal was wearing to divert their attention. There was no criminal behind those documents he found, there was nothing wrong with the business and of course, there were no illegal movements. Fed up, Levi hit his desk after he took a seat in front of it. Rose, a red-haired woman, as intelligent as Levi, someone who was always beside him came into the room. High-heeled ankle boots, denim pants, a white blouse and two guns on each side of the waist. Rose was such a beautiful woman.“What's wrong with you, Levi?!” She raised her voice. “Please, Rose, I don’t want to talk to anyone now,” he re

When April was ready to go behind her son, Lucian, the same man who thought who couldn’t stop himself, someone who felt as if the desire was burning deep in his being, the man who was tempted to give up on half of his fortune in order to have only one night with the woman who was presented before his eyes as a damn goddess, stopped April from going behind her son. “April?” April turned around and looked at the man, presuming of being the one who had the privilege to look into his amber eyes. “Yes, Mr. Sadharthe?” She pronounced, as if with that title she was letting him know that she would address him whatever she wanted, however she wanted because April was not under his rules. She may also be as black as him, she may also belong to his world, but who said there couldn’t be another black world inside a black world? “I just want to make your son happy too. I just want him to have the childish you can give him by yourself.”April got offended so she crossed her arms over her chest.

THE FOLLOWING DAY A night that was falling like few others, a night that would not be the same, a night in which a thousand and one more things would be defined had arrived, falling on her as if the decision had also done it with the night, in front of the mirror in her room, the most beautiful figure, the same one that she had not seen of herself in so long, perhaps in more than seven years since she stopped dressing like that when she knew that she was pregnant.Everything was in its place and on the first floor of that mansion she could already hear so many voices being exchanged, the sound of glasses hitting each other, snacks, she could already imagine everything that was going on there.In the mirror in front of her she couldn’t see the same April, now there was another version of her, that one who was powerful, that one full of confidence, her elegance, her sensuality once again put in the same body. The black dress only emphasized the beautiful figure of her body, the cleavag

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! If April thought there could be a little bit of happiness for her, she was damn wrong!Madeline arrived at the same hotel where she'd stayed for the last 15 days and, with

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
