CHAPTER 17
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56After making the decision to start a new life together as a couple and moving out of Perry's childhood home almost three months ago, the couple's lifestyle underwent a dramatic transformation almost immediately. For instance, the two of them don't have to adjust their movements because they are on their own now.
Since the two of them were now living a quiet life together in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, which is one of the most tranquil communities in the state, the atmosphere around Stephenie became more laid back. Their home was located in a convenient location, less than an hour's drive from both the beach and the mountains. During Perry's days off, the two would frequently take a drive to the beach for a stroll, and then they would proceed to explore the historical sites that the small city of arts and innovation has to offer afterward.

Stephenie took a step back, but Perry stopped her. It was as if the way Perry looked at her gave her the impression that she couldn't possibly deviate from her aunt. As soon as Stephenie realized how Perry expected her to act, she went straight to confront her aunt.“How could you say that when you keep telling me that you barely have an idea about my mother? This could only mean one thing: that you know so much about her but you just don’t want to share it with me? What's the deal, Aunt Hilda? You know, I deserve to know the truth about my mother.” Stephenie's eyes were welling up with tears, which she fought hard not to shed. She couldn't cry in front of her aunt again—not now, not ever.“Because...because your mother was a wench like you. Your mother destroyed my brot

"That's something you shouldn't have done, Perry." Stephenie told Perry calmly as she looked at him. Anxiety has completely engulfed her face. She couldn't help but notice the bruises on his fist from when he knocked off the two men earlier."They deserve it," Perry replied, still a little furious. Stephenie could sense through his clenched jaw, how Perry gritted his teeth out of rage."I'm sorry once more, Perry."“Sorry for what?”"A lot of things have made you do things you weren't used to doing since I came into your life.""What exactly do you mean?"

IT WAS THE NEXT DAY when Stephenie was surprised to see Mrs. Morgan inside her room. Perry’s mother requested a nurse to assist Stephenie in a wheelchair so that she may come along with her to see Perry.Mrs. Morgan remained completely silent throughout. She never mentioned anything else about Perry, leaving Stephenie puzzled and worried. And, as much as she wanted to inquire about it, she ultimately preferred to remain silent. Stephenie detected a distinct aura from her, prompting her to abandon her attempt to initiate a conversation about Perry.All of Stephenie's suspicions and thoughts were only confirmed when she saw Perry lying unconscious inside the intensive care unit room, aided by tubes and a life support machine.“No one told me he

~ HADES ALDIONE~“I have thoroughly searched and turned the entirety of Larkspur upside down, but I was unable to find any trace of that woman.” Thanatos made his way into Hades' living quarters and sat down on the cream couch that was adjacent to Hades' working table to ease his aching back.As soon as his eyes were closed, his free hand flew to his temple, and he began massaging it in a circular motion. Because Hades had instructed him to search for Rebecca, he had been deprived of sleep and was therefore exhausted.They have not seen the woman in over two months, and surprisingly, they have not found any leads on her whereabouts after she left the mansion. It has been nearly two months since they last saw her.Hades, who had been staring listlessly out

When Hades and Thanatos finally made it to the front porch of Miguel's friend, it was already half past noon. It was just a modest apartment that was found right next to Apex's primary thoroughfare. The location seemed to be convenient given that it is only a few short blocks away from the city's commercial district.Thanatos rang the doorbell nearly three times before he decided to knock on the door. It appeared that the doorbell was broken. After a moment of short silence, he tried to make a few more knocks before a young boy opened the door to the apartment.“Charlie, why did you open the door!” A woman called out to the young boy. She ran hastily toward the door and was about to shut it when Thanatos put his foot in front of her to prevent her from doing so.

The supposed to be less than an hour drive from Apex to Larkspur became less than thirty as told by Thanatos. They ran into traffic, but Thanatos was quick enough to switch to a different route, which shortened their journey significantly compared to what it normally would have been.Upon their arrival, Hades and Thanatos were immediately obstructed by Jaycee, who was very anxious about how to begin reporting the scenario to her boss. Jaycee was telling Hades about the current situation that was taking place inside of his office.However, before Jaycee could even begin to utter a single word, Hades' mother, Reis, emerged from the office with such a level of rage that it was visible in her eyes. She aimed them at Hades, and the expression on his mother's face gave him the impression that he was about to be set ablaze to

“You!” Hades couldn’t put up the exact words immediately until he was able to come back to his senses. He continued by asking, “Who are you, exactly?” Hades was beyond dismayed to see a different woman and not Rebecca; in fact, he became furious at the sight of the other woman.He returned to his office quickly, all nervousness coursing through his body, only to arrive with this nonsense. His expectations were dashed once more when he discovered that the woman was not Rebecca as he had assumed.Even the woman seemed a little taken aback when she saw Hades. Before she could even get the words “This isn't right.” out of her mouth, she had to cover her mouth with her hands because she couldn't believe what was going on.&l

THE FOLLOWING DAY, Thanatos greeted Hades first thing in the morning, having brought with him the news that he had been able to successfully schedule an appointment with Poseidon.“Why do you look so uncertain?” Hades told Thanatos while riding their way.“It sounded a bit strange. Poseidon is so easy to reach now compared to before. ” Thanatos gave his response. The choices he made with his words made it clear that he was harboring some uncertainty in his mind, which he was unable to conceal.“Shouldn't we just make the most of the opportunity that's been presented to us, seeing as how it seems to have given us leverage?”“You make such a big deal out of being

In the dimly lit study of Rheis, the three brothers, Hades, Zeus, and Poseidon, stood shoulder to shoulder, their imposing presence reduced to that of mere boys. The three gentlemen stood shoulder to shoulder, their anxious gazes fixed upon their mother, anticipating her forthcoming reprimand.The memory of when this peculiar occurrence last transpired eluded them entirely. In the vast expanse of their separate lives, the three brothers had gradually become estranged from the familiar rhythms that once bound them together in their youth.Hardly any of them could recall every single moment of it, their memories scattered amidst the chaos of their bustling lives. Yet, as they assembled in this very instant, a peculiar thing occurred—a surge of recollection, akin to a whirlpool of memories, swiftly inundated their minds.The memory, though not entirely unpleasant, now seemed to cast a shadow over the brothers' present moment, evoking nothing more than a sense of discomfort. They exchange

After the chaos that took place in their dining room, Hades suddenly felt the need to leave his two brothers behind. From the very beginning, he had the impression that having dinner with them would not be a very good idea. If his mother hadn't asked him to, he probably wouldn't have made any effort at all to invite both Zeus and Poseidon back to their home.Hades had previously anticipated that something similar would most likely take place sooner or later, and it appears that he wasn't wrong about that prediction. Their entire evening was ruined by a single disturbance, and now even their mother is very upset with all of the behavior that they have displayed.The fact that he had to answer for his brother's mistakes, despite the fact that he was in no way responsible for anything that had taken place, was by far the most upsetting aspect of the situation. This is one of the reasons why Hades stopped associating with Zeus and Poseidon altogether. Hades refused to do so because of thi

“One of you three is the biological father of this child,” Rheis said, pointing out the woman’s womb.Before Rheis could even continue what she was about to say, she was eventually stopped when Zeus disentangled himself from Thanatos' grip as he approached the woman and exclaimed, "You! You have no right to even set foot inside this home! How dare you!”However, rather than responding to him, the woman preferred to hide behind Rheis and show that she was terrified.When Zeus found out that the woman was now using his own mother as a shield between herself and him, his fury level skyrocketed. “Don’t you dare use my mother in your selfish and evil scheme, Beatrice.”

Poseidon gave Thanatos one final eerie look before finally withdrawing from the room and making his way into the dining hall. Thanatos had a smirk on his face. Thanatos, for his part, couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief when they finally parted ways and their encounter didn't escalate into some form of physical conflict. Since then, he had been making an effort to keep that from happening, particularly while he was in the house of the Olympia family, because he knew he would feel extremely embarrassed to face Rheis Olympia if she found out that he had struck one of her most cherished children.AT THE DINING HALL, they were all eventually seated at the long table. In his role as patriarch of the family, Hades took a seat in the upper left-hand corner of the room, and Rheis took a seat on his right. Thanatos opted to take a seat on Hades' left side, while Poseidon and Zeus chose to take sea

And at that point, Hades recalled that he had actually promised to give Zeus his villa in the Maldives in exchange for his attendance at the dinner that they were having tonight. He just grinned sarcastically at the thought of having to bargain too much in order to have someone join them for dinner. He was just at ease because it was his brother after all, so he left it at that."Of course, make sure that everything is prepared for when Zeus arrives. I am certain that it will be the very first thing that he will inquire about." Hades chimed in with a response.Thanatos nodded, but couldn't help but wonder whether he should ask. "Hades, I have to admit that I was just a little bit curious about this. Why did you give up that property in the Maldives when you were aware that—"Thanatos was in

A day after Hades took a brief getaway from his office to meet up with his two brothers, he and Thanatos boarded their flight back to North Carolina to prepare for dinner with Rheis.As one might have anticipated, Hades took the necessary precautions to ensure that the dinner would go off without a hitch. During the time that preparations were being made for the dinner that only took place once in a blue moon, the dining room of the mansion had been given a fresh coat of glitz and glamour.Rheis would frequently dine by herself at the lengthy rectangular table in the dining room, which had seating for approximately twenty individuals. It sounded and appeared to be way too lonely, but that such a scene had been the case ever since Zeus and Poseidon lived outside of the mansion and settled for their own places outside of the state.

Hades had found the ideal position for himself on the reclining black futon, which he almost considered to be a sex bed.“Mother wants to see all of us for dinner this coming Friday.” Hades finally said it.Without uttering a single word, Zeus simply turned his head in Hades' direction while maintaining a blank expression on his face. He was still unsure as to whether or not Hades was playing a joke on him, but the subsequent few seconds of silence convinced him that Hades was indeed being serious about what he had just said.As Zeus responded, "Brother, I'm afraid I might not be able to join on Friday night," he could hardly muster up a smile.“How come?” Hades abruptly asked.

Hades' thoughts were preoccupied by the simple fact that he would not have another opportunity to see Rebecca, as well as the idea that he came dangerously close to losing his composure with the flight attendant earlier, Hades was disgusted by his unexpected behavior some time ago.“Shall I get you some coffee?” As soon as they arrived at the mansion where Zeus was staying, Thanatos eagerly made his offer.Zeus’s house has an unobstructed view of Lake Union, the Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound, and the historic St. Mark's Cathedral, and it is prominently located on one of the most beautiful tree-lined streets within the Harvard-Belmont Historic Landmark District.A potent creative collaboration has been transformed into the interior spaces of Zeus' home, giving it a sophisticated and c

“Did you just say you saw Rebecca?”When Thanatos found out about it from Hades, he was completely taken aback. He speculated that Hades had been so distraught by the failure of his search that he had started hallucinating about Rebecca, even when she was in the most remote location from which he could possibly see her.Thanatos was completely mistaken in assuming that Rebecca was somewhere in the Miami, Florida area. He recalled how Rebecca appeared, as well as the fact that Rebecca was not the type of person who could lazily travel around in a city where every minute would cost her a significant amount of money.However, just based on Hades' appearance in front of Thanatos, Thanatos couldn't help but feel a little concerned about Hades’ well-being. Since the day Rebecca disappeared
