Artemis' POV"So lucky." Honey burst out laughing even though she was struggling. Zelo looks like he was really in pain when Honey held him.It was as if I was frozen in place when I saw that Honey and the Vice President pointed their guns at the two of them at the same time. Zelo was panting when he sat down. I saw how he tried so hard not to pass out. I could clearly see the blood from his body.When I looked at my son, Hades, he tried not to cry. He just bit his lip as the tears continued to fall."What are you doing here, Little Boy? Say your speech to your Mom and Dad before I'll kill you. It will probably be nice to see their reaction when you die in front of them," the Vice President said with a laugh."Fuck you. Fucking let go of my child," I retorted while pointing the gun at the Vice President but my hand was shaking. I don't know who to turn my eyes to. Hades who looks so terrified but tries his best to act strong and Zelo is forced to stand while looking in so much pain. I

Artemis' POVI woke up in a white room. I immediately got nervous before I looked around. I got up and the two who were sitting while talking in whispers were shocked by my sudden movement. Their eyes widened when they saw me."Mommy!" they shouted loudly before attending to me and hugging me tightly. I feel the pain of the wounds now but I don't care about that. What is important is the hug of my kids. They couldn't hold back the sobs, so tears started to fall from my eyes. I couldn't even stop crying. I can't believe I put these young kids on something like that."Sorry, my Athena and my Hades... Mama was not able to protect you... Please forgive Mama..." I cried as they continued to shake their heads."You did your best to protect us, Mama..." they said while still trying to wipe the tears from my eyes. I cried even more when I saw the bruises on every part of their faces."Come here, Babies..." They came closer to me while I kissed every bruise on their face."I hope Mama's kiss

Artemis' POV"Mama... When Daddy's already fine, we are going to Cebu, right?" Hades asked waking up from a dream. He immediately attended to me crying when he woke up. He woke up from a nightmare while I also woke up from a bad dream."I don't feel safe here... I felt like any time, there's someone who will take us again... And we will experience that scary stuff once again..." he said with a trace of fear on his face. I just stroked his hair.I have something I want to do but I want to talk to Zelo first. He has a lot of things to do here. He still has people who need him. He's still the president of the country. Even just now that he is resting, his work is piling up, especially since the vice president is now in jail.His cabinets are not publicizing his condition at the moment but it often seems that they want him to return to work."You are safe now, Baby... You are safe with us..." I whispered while comforting Hades. Sometimes it's their father who does this. They are undergoin

Artemis' POVI looked at her with a confused face."He doesn't really care at all if he gets hurt again. That one is always high blood to me when I do something bad to you, so I like to annoy you even more. What they said is really true, when you're smart, you're a fool in love," she said, still shaking her head."He was so in love with you that I doubt if he'll still be the same when you slip away from him again," she said. Those lines linger on my mind all day. Even when me and Ms. Yu part ways. I was still thinking about it.I fucking felt so bad thinking that Zelo was just acting like something didn't happen between us at all on that day just because he loves me. He loves me so he doesn't care anymore. As if he will forgive all my sins just because he doesn't want me to leave. That he'll settle for less just because he has feelings for me."Are the kids sleeping now?" Zelo asked when he entered the room a few days later. I nodded and gave him space to look at Athena and Hades."Ze

Artemis' POV"But he left a bunch of things for you too, Mama!" Hades said to me with a smile so I gave back his energy before I pinched his cheek at the cuteness of how he talks in Tagalog.“So that's why there's a lot of boxes here again. Your Daddy spoils you two so much," I said, laughing before I carried him up and took him inside."That's just Daddy's love language, Mama... Especially when he misses us," he said, making me smile before agreeing. I feel that the five love languages are his too. He always do all of that."Don't you miss Daddy, Mama?" Hades asked me."I miss him too, Baby..." I said, just smiling at Hades."Then why—" He couldn't continue what he was going to say when I was immediately hugged by Athena's warm body."Mama! You weren't able to see Daddy again," she said so I didn't know if I should laugh or what."It's okay, Baby. We'll just go to Manila to visit him," I said, so Athena immediately relayed that to her brother so he could understand it better."Really
