All Chapters of Fires Within Fires: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Two days passed but still, there was no sign of him. Not that I wanted him to show up here. It was in the middle of the night when the voices woke me up. Ayla was sleeping so I got up silently. I removed a little bit of the curtain and looked out of the window. It was not on the front side so I was not able to get a complete view but I could see a little bit if I turned.There were about three to four cars outside of the premises of the house. I quickly stumbled back seeing Carlos. “Is Hades here?” I asked myself.Suddenly there was a small commotion in the house. Maids were talking as if some important task has been given to which they must also bear confidentiality.What is it? If Hades is here as well, I will not go. But if there is something else. There was no sign of him anywhere near the cars.I moved towards the door and opened it a little bit so I could hear what was happening. I had the feeling that it was a hushed-up matter. Footsteps could be heard approaching so I shut of

“Poiá eínai aftí” (Who is she?)“Eínai sýzygos tou Ser Ádi” (She is wife of Sir Hades)“I kóri tou Ántrian?” she said in a surprising tone. (Adrian’s daughter?)I looked at her and searched my memory whether I had seen her before. No, she was not at all familiar. But somehow, she had recognized me. Since she was speaking in Greek I thought I should ask her in the same language.“Pós ton gnorízeis?” I asked shocked. (How do you know him?)It confirmed her suspicion. Then it was gone and she laughed. It was not a laugh of happiness or sadness. It was hysterical.“Kyría Eíste kalá” Aria asked worriedly. She did not respond and at last, wiped the tears that had come out of laughing. (Madam Are you fine)“Eísai skýla pou ton pantréftikes metá apó óla aftá pou pérase” she seethed. (You are a bitch for marrying him after all that he went through)“Párte to deípno mou píso sto domátió mou. Den boró na katalávo to théama enós atómou pou eínai arketá acháristos óste na xechásei tis thysíes pou

We moved next and there was a photo behind a red curtain. I looked back at thanks but he had lost interest in whatever I was doing.Maybe this or. Maybe he knew veru well what by eyes would land on. I have come this far in life. Why should I be scared of anything?I grabbed the red cloth. Life will always be about choices. Always. But this time and from this day onwards, i will not back down for unveiling them.I will get to know each of them.I pulled back the cloth only to remain flabbergasted. People i have known and some unknown. Each of them with a smile as big as the sun shining behind them.How far back it was taken? I cannot tell. My mama and papa stood beside each other. His arm was around her shoulder and the another one around That woman.The woman who had accused me of betraying them.Hades sister. Roxanne. She looked unrecognisable. Youngest between them all. Or not.Uncle Paul was there standing beside Max Decardo and another woman. His bright smile a sun of its own. The

Hade had left me in here alone.To die.Goodbye mama and papa. Goodbye Ayla.The smoke from the fire was making it hard to breath and I couldn’t help byr ciugh inti the gag. It was getting harder to breathe and my eyes were my eyes.It was getting difficult to keep them open.Suddenly a black shadow came into being. I looked past the water that had gathered.Hades had come back.“Íxera óti tha ísoun edó. Símera tha se xefortothó”(I knew you would be here. Today I will get rid of you.)Suddenly guns from all sides came into view. The walls have revealed them and I felt as if they were on every side.The bomb behind my back is going to be off any moment. I looked at is but the stoic emotion that he always held still was there.My insides fluttered at the thought that in a few seconds I will be tear down to pieces.We all waited. I had closed my eyes and shut and lowered my head.The sound did not come. I was whole, complete whole and alive.I was alive. The relief was too much and I sa

A few Hours BeforeIn Roxanne’s RoomHades saw the empty alcohol bottles and the women perched on the bed. He took one of them into his hand and threw it on the floor.Anne stirred and then she sat up rubbing her eyes to see what had caused hindrance in her imaginary world. Who was too much cruel that he had made her open her eyes to the sad reality.For a minute she tried to clear her vision. And when it did she saw Hades.Of course, she thought Hades was the only one except her mother who could barge in like that and then would wake her up in this way.Her mother would have done something more weird……...“Where did you confess?” Hades shouted.She couldn’t decipher what he was talking about so. He seemed furious and anxious and his usually gelled-up hair was tousled as if he had raked his fingers many times through them.“What are you talking about?” Anne said and even her own voice was a little slurred to her. A little only. It seems that she has developed a tolerance for it. She i
