Hermes’s phone rang for what must have been the tenth time that day and he ignored it once again. There he was, sat in his dark office, a bottle of whiskey on his table and a glass in his hand. He hated drinking but recently with everything that was going on, he found himself drinking more and more. It was very obvious to anybody that paid enough attention that this whole business with Rafael was proving to be much more than he could handle. He was still trying to process everything that had been going on in the past few days.He sat there thinking about where he must have gone wrong with everything and what steps he could have taken to prevent the current predicament which he found himself in. The more he thought about it, the less thoughts that seemed to be coming into his head. Hermes was used to being the one holding all the power and influence but for the first time in a very long time, he seemed to be completely powerless against this foe of his.His organization was being torn

ATHENAThe tears streamed down my face as I made my way to the room. None of what I had just heard seemed to make any sense to me. I didn’t know exactly what to make of any of the things which Rafael and his girl had just told me.Could it really be possible that my dad was all of these things that they were saying? How did I not notice this in the first place? Is it possible that they are lying to me?Question after question kept on popping into my head and I had no idea how to deal with any of it. Rafael’s face when he spoke to me in the study, his voice and his mannerism kept on playing in my head. He looked genuinely hurt by everything that he was saying and it was obvious that he wouldn’t go through such lengths just to make up a story to tell me. It definitely didn’t make sense.This was what his mother was talking about back then when she mentioned he had been kidnapped. I had not thought too dearly about it and his reservations to talk about it had struck me at first but after

RAFAELThe glass of whiskey sat in my hand as I twirled it around, unable to take a sip since I poured it out. There was a lot on my mind and I was trying to figure things out but none of them seemed to be aligning. My thoughts seemed to be all over the place and the more I tried to gather them and think straight, the worse it got. It seemed like I was moving from one problem to another and most of it was not even physical.I had to deal with the fact that Hermes had sent Rachael after me, a move which I found to be a dastardly act. He could have sent anybody else to do the deed but knowing him, he did that just to prove a point. How poetic it would have been for him if the girl who I had tried to save all those years ago and one of the major reasons for my want of revenge was the one who pulled the trigger. Just the mere thought of it sent shivers running down my spine.Getting into Hermes’s head was one thing I was exceptionally good at or rather I had become good at over the years.

ATHENAI saw the look of surprise on his face as I said that I was willing to help. He kept on looking at me like I had said something completely absurd and I couldn’t quite understand it.“I am serious right now.” I said, “I want to help in whatever way that I can.”His eyes were still fixed on me as he observed me like he was looking for something which I did not know what it was. I was wondering what was going through his mind at that moment as he shook his head in what looked like disbelief.“There is nothing that you can do.” He said, as he attempted to walk out of the room again.I ran in front of him and blocked the part to the door. This was a very serious issue and I could not understand why he was this calm about it. I knew exactly what I would have done if it was me that was in this particular situation, I definitely would be all over the place most likely freaking out in anger and panic. But here he stood so calmly just observing everything.From the look he had in his eye

His daughter’s reaction and attitude since all of this had started was pissing him off even more than anything that Rafael could do. Hermes could not believe that his own daughter who he had raised all these years and had cherished like an egg was now on the side of the enemy against him. He couldn’t understand why she would even want to do something like this in the first place. In a lot of ways, she was more like her mom than him. Very soft hearted, kind and extremely gullible. It had been one of the reasons he had liked her mother in the first place and why he could not really be around Athena for too long because even though he didn’t care to admit it, she reminded him of the woman who he had lost all those years ago.He had found out a while back that Athena was not suited for this business which he had ventured into. It was very obvious from the way she talked and related with people. There was no way in hell she was going to be on board with him killing people and conducting ex

RAFAELThere I was in the study with Rachael as we waited for Hernandez and Athena to come in. I had called them because I needed advice on the next step to take and I needed everyone to be present.“I still do not understand why you called her though.” Rachael said, referring to Athena. “Why should she be here in a strategy meeting?”“She offered to help and there might be something that she knows which we do not know.” I replied, “Right now, I need all the help I can get. It is my mother’s life that is on the line here so all suggestions and helpful ideas are welcome.”I could see that she was in no way pleased with that answer but I did not care. It would be strange to anybody and it sure as hell was strange to me, but for some reason, I felt like I could trust Athena with this. When we had spoken in the room back then, she had a look of sincerity in her eyes and I felt like I could trust the words that came out of her mouth. She looked like she actually was willing to help and at

ANDREAI felt all kinds of nervous as I prepared myself to follow Rafael into the meeting with my father. I had not been nervous the last time I went to see him but after knowing everything that I now knew, it was a given why I was this nervous. All of it still seemed like some sort of distant memory, a bad nightmare which I definitely wanted to wake up from as quickly as possible. I had tried to wake uo so many times but it definitely was not working. This was not a nightmare in any way. This was reality, my reality and I had to face it head on.So many thoughts kept on playing in my head as I kept on wondering what my father’s reaction when he saw me would be. His words over the phone were still playing in my head, he really did think I was some naïve brat of his that couldn’t handle herself. Thinking about it now, I wondered if perhaps he was right about that.In a way, I had been the cause of everything. I had been the one who put myself in the situation I currently was in. Whethe

“What the fuck do you mean by she is gone?!” Hermes yelled out, as his car sped along leaving the warehouse. He was completely furious at how things had ended between him and Rafael. Rafael was the one who had the last laugh as he got away with Athena while Hermes had to be led away, completely shielded by his guards to stop whoever was operating the sniper which was aimed at his head from taking a shot which would have definitely proven to be extremely fatal.The fact that one second he was completely in control and the next, it had all slipped right through his fingers continued to mess with his head. He had no idea how that had happened and even now as he sat in the car trying to think about it, he still couldn’t come up with an explanation as to why everything was the way it was.“Fuck all of this.” he yelled out, “You are all a bunch of incompetent fools.”His driver looked at him through the mirror of the car and they both locked eyes but he dared not say anything in objection.

RAFAELThe joy which I felt in my heart was beyond anything that I could bring myself to explain. It filled me up to the brim and I could feel it overflowing as I drove back to the house. A part of me had felt it was not going to work and I would have to hand over Athena to Hermes which would mean that he definitely has won. I had not expected that he would ask for my estate and everything that made me me, but the more I thought about it, the more sense it made.If I was in his shoes I most likely would do the same thing as well. It made sense for him to want to cripple me and take away my resources totally. I had half expected him to try to kill me there and then and maybe he would have tried to do it if I didn’t have the sniper trained on him. He already knew that if any of his men pulled the trigger, the chances of him making it out of there was extremely slim. There was no way he was going to want to die in a warehouse when he could leave to try to fight me another day. I knew Her

ATHENAImmediately I opened my eyes, they were greeted by the warm rays of sunlight that seeped in through the open windows. This was the first time in a very long time that I was having a very good rest and my heart was actually at peace. I knew it shouldn’t be because we were not completely out of the clear, but for some strange reason, I felt completely relaxed about everything.I sat up in bed and looked around, taking in the scene of the room as I thought about what today held. Being cooked up in the room and house all day had proven to be extremely boring but after all the recent activities that had happened, I knew exactly why I had to be in the house. A part of me was still scared that my father would do something completely crazy, for some strange reason, I couldn’t completely shake that feeling.This was the exact same way I had felt before we learnt about the abduction of Rafael’s mother. I didn’t know what to make of it though and so I brushed it to the back of my thoughts
