Flashback end I hope she can see the promise hidden. Or else I will make her remember it the hard way. I kicked Jace’s leg and he sits up straight.“You know the bástardos left with another problem”“What?” he sobers up a little.I went to my room inside the walk-in closet. Behind my set of white and black shirts was my locker. I had put the box inside it. Only I know the combination. In this house, Walls not have ears but pestering eyes too. So, it’s better to keep it safe.I opened it. A picture of a kid was the first thing that came into my hand. There was an address on it.There are some other things in the box. I will check them some other time.I came back to the terrace and handed the photo to Jace.“He is just a kid.” He says after looking at it.“Yes, a kid. A bastard kid from my father” I spat.He groans. “Now what? You want me to find and kill him? He hesitates and says “You know I do not kill….. ”He is the best person for this job. He knows how to find the people who a
Both of them exchanged glances and then the one in the passenger seat turned and replied “you will get your answers in a while” he paused for a moment and continued “The old man who always takes you is waiting for you”.It means today I will a good chance at knowing about the people who are helping me. There must be a reason behind it. Nothing comes free in this world.This man has been my saving grace. Since that unfortunate night when I could not think of the next step. I had no one to turn to that night. Just two months old Ayla in my hands. I know that the old man is not the head. He had also made this clear too that the one who texts me the next location is.Even if I get to meet his boss tonight or not. I will demand answers. If he is such a well-wisher of mine, why doesn’t he come forward and reveals himself?I could see Ayla’s eyes drooping. She is just a small girl. She doesn’t even have breakfast yet. Al
Seph’s POV:I couldn’t take my eyes off his face. His eyes held so many emotions but anger ruled them all. Did he see all that? It’s so embarrassing. Heat rushed to my cheeks. He came closer. I wanted to give him some kind of an explanation so I opened my mouth. Before I could even utter a word, he took my arm in a strong grip.It hurt. Something had taken over him. He ignored the pain that flashed in my eyes, something that had never happened before. He just dragged me to the car and threw me on the passenger side. The door closed with a loud thump and I flinched. Is he being angry after seeing all that? I know that He was a little overprotective but now his reactions are scaring me.He is my father I know he will never hurt me I chided to my heart. His anger will fade away. Maybe I should try to cool the situation.Just when I was going to speak, He raised his hand “stop! don't say a word Seph. Not right now”His words expressed disgust. But what I had done to deserve this? I conclu
I was stunned that he had used these words for me. For her daughter. A lone tear escaped my eye. The realization of what he had just said struck him hard too. He came for my hands with apologizing gaze but now I was in no condition to listen to his explanation. He had said that I was a whore. I ran upstairs to my room and locked it. I had never imagined that my father would say such a word to me. Ever. If mamá was here with me she would have calmed him. She would have never let her say that to me. My reflection in the mirror caught my attention and my locket glistened in the light coming from the window. I moved closer to it and removed my tears. The locket was given to me by my mother. It had two wings at each side that would open up and inside it was engraved prostátis in ancient Greek. It meant “protector”. I remember that once my mother told me that she got this when she was young and sightseeing at a temple with her friends. She and another one of her friends had helped an old
Anonymous place I woke up with frantic breaths. Why do I keep seeing That woman again in my dreams? The one with dark brown hair. No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to remember any kind of facial expression. Her eyes her mouth nothing is visible. She just stands there. I will never find out who is she. Because I will never get out of here. How long will I stay here? Why was I left here in the first place.? This seems like some of a mental institute. The doctor says I am sick this is why I am here. I don’t know how much time has passed since I was left here. Why was I left here? What did I do wrong? I don’t remember anything about my family. Who are they? Where do they live? How old am I? Stupid brain! Why do not I remember anything? The room I am in is a white one. Everything inside is white. I am laying on the small hospital bed with my hands and feet strapped to it. There are two doors connected to my room. One leads to the bathroom and the other… outside. It must be the e
Five years Back The Night of Engagement SEPH’S POV It is the night of the engagement. I stood in front of the full-length mirror clad in a white dress that had delicately designed pink flowers. It felt like a funeral preparation minus the black dress. I took a hold of my mother’s locket and put it around my neck. I closed my eyes and imagined her looking at me. She must be watching over me. She must be praying for our success tonight. She is my strength. I am at Aunt Erca’s house. Two months back we had welcomed the baby girl and named her Ayla. A halo of light above the moon. Just like her name her face is bright as the moon. In our times of distress, she bought a relief. Just like how even a flicker of light could erase darkness. She gave us hope in this turmoil. We decided to dress up in Aunt Erca’s home. The dress that the monster has bought me, I will wear on his funeral. the funeral of his ego and honor. Bampás and Uncle Nico had refused to deliver me to the devil. They wi
AnonymousHe has already gone after her. He will definitely bring her back now. With now his father dead he has no leash confining him to the house and stop her pursuit. He is a mad man. Whoever will try to stop him will be trampled upon.What sort of attraction does he have to her? Love is too much of an emotion he would give to a woman. One night stands never bothered him. Affection he believes is the waste of time.So, what is it? The feelings he has for the girl?He doesn’t know the whole truth now? Is he loves her body and soul what would happen if they get to know about the strings that bind them?A bird perched up on the window and quickly flew away to go after its prey.That brings me back to the real problem. what should I do now? What should my next move be? I stood in the large window thinking about Hades next move.Finally I raised the glass to my lips tasting the Lemniona gifted from one of my friends belonging to Thessaly. The deep and vivid purple red color drink soothe
Athens, GreeceLARA’S POVI sat at the breakfast table with Claudia and Xander. The breakfast table is kind of empty today. Soussana has already left saying that she will be back for the party. Suspicious woman. She had expressed her distaste for Hades’ actions rather strongly saying that she can’t see him running after just an ordinary girl instead of being here with his family. Thanos has also left saying that he will be back to welcome the new bride.“Flora isn’t here yet. Did you not call her?” I asked the maid standing behind my seat.“Yes, ma’am I did. She said that she will down in a moment”My husband’s death has changed nothing. He was by no means a patient man. Hades is just like him so I can’t feel any difference. But still, it’s better in a way.Hades knows that I raised him. He gives me the respect of her mother. Respect not Love. After his mother’s death, I had no interest in becoming the typical stepmom. His father was already hard on him after Hera’s death. He loved h
