Chapter: Natural PowerHADES’ POV“You betrayed me, Hades,” Iron said, his voice raw and dangerous.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” I said, my lips trembling with fear.I tried not to be fearful as I stood in front of Iron, but I couldn’t. Even when I tried to stop myself from showing it so that Iron wouldn’t find out, it didn’t work.I was so shaky that I wish the conversation would end and I would leave.Of course, Iron saw how shaky and trembling I was and his lips contorted in a coy smile.“If you are speaking the truth, why then do you tremble?” He asked me.“I am not trembling,” I denied blatantly even though I knew he could see well enough.Iron decided to abandon that.“You know, Hades, I trusted you with my life,” Iron told me.“And I served you,” I responded tightly.Fuck, why was I shaking profusely?“No, you didn’t, Hades,” Iron said.“I wasn’t expecting that you would believe me. After everything I did for you, Iron, Blake came over and your trust and loyalty shifted within seconds,”

Chapter: Prepare For WarIRON’S POV“What did the Seer say?” Blake asked me.I was preparing to leave the Organization.It was already a little bit dark and most of the Titans were already retiring to their rooms. Now that Belle was no longer in the Organization and they didn’t face the risk of being attacked and killed, there wasn’t much to worry about.I needed to get update from Athena about Nesse.No matter how hard I tried to put Nesse at the back of my mind, I just couldn’t. I needed to ensure that she was safe.I wasn’t going to see her…just Athena.“He said that there is no point in looking for Hades and Belle and the other Titans who fled, Blake,” I opened up to Blake.“What does that even mean?” Blake asked, confused. I had felt the same way too.“You already made a firm vow to the Titans, Lord Dante,” he reminded me.“I didn’t forget about that, Blake,” I answered. “The reason he said not to go looking for them is because they would come to us,” I added.“He said that?” Blake asked.“Yes, he did,”

Chapter: Cruel Daughter, Crueler MotherATHENA’S POVWe arrived at Nesse’s house and Jules was dragged into her house like a poor criminal. The woman might have done wrong by Nesse, but my heart went out to her.I couldn’t believe that anyone would treat their mother the way Nesse was treating hers.“Keep her in the isolated room until further instructions,” Nesse commanded her staff.“This is wrong, Nesse!” Jules called out as they dragged her away mercilessly.“Unfortunately for you, no one can punish me for it,” Nesse said coyly.She was so cold and cruel.After their argument at the hospital, Jules had had no choice but to stay back even though she didn’t want to.Then, when it was evening and nearly dark, the doctor had come in, checked Nesse, and declared her fit to leave. I had thought that she would have handled things nicely, but I was wrong.Even Nesse’s state of being pregnant didn’t make her act with emotions.She had arranged for her bodyguards to have Jules taken into her car with discretion. Fortunately for h

Chapter: HostageNESSE’S POVI could see and feel the shock on my mum’s face, but I didn’t care.“You don’t mean what you just said,” she said in utter shock and disbelief.“You heard me right, mum,” I said with a deliberate sneer.“You can’t lock me up in here!” She lashed out.I smiled ruefully.Again, I couldn’t be more thankful for Athena’s competence and swift reaction. When I saw that my mum was leaving, and I knew just what she was capable of doing the moment she stepped out through that door, I knew that things needed to be handled in my own way.I had signaled to Athena without having to say a word.She had understood and swung into action.I was pained and enraged that she had found out. She was the last person I wanted to ever find out, especially judging by what was going on between us lately, but now that she had, I could only manage the situation in my own way.“I am not locking you up, mum,” I said, deliberately sounding sarcastic when I mentioned the name “mum.”“Then what is this abou

Chapter: What I Know NowJULES’S POVNesse didn’t respond to my question, but I knew what I saw.She was pregnant.Since I asked that question, she hadn’t said a single word. Instead, she had covered her stomach with the sheets, and I knew that the sheets had only fallen below her stomach slightly by mistake, otherwise I wouldn’t have known.I birthed Nesse.I would know if she was pregnant, and from what I saw, she was.The swell was very small, almost unnoticeable it would be for a stranger, but my eyes caught it instantly, and maybe that was because I was Nesse’s mother.“You are pregnant,” I said with confirmation.This wasn’t a question anymore.If Nesse wasn’t, she wouldn’t have been this quiet.She might be the toughest woman in the entire city, but she was my daughter, and I knew her like the back of my palm. No one ever thought that Nesse had a weakness, but I did, and it was surprising that in the time of desperation, I hadn’t used it against her.Oh, she should really be glad.“I am not,” Nesse den

Chapter: Only Be Prepared“I want to meet the Seer again,” I told Blake as I prepared to leave.“If you trust his judgment, Lord Dante,” he responded, making me stop.“You don’t?” I asked.I recalled instantly that Hades had been like that too, and quite honestly, I wasn’t sure I could deal with someone close to me who didn’t believe in the Seer as much as I did.He might not exactly have been giving me useful information lately, but one thing was certain; he had been useful to me when I couldn’t even reveal my identity to anyone or let any of the Titans know that I was alive except Hades.“That’s not what I meant,” Blake said.“What did you mean?” I asked him.“All I am saying is that if you trust his judgment, then you should go to him. We the Titans in this Organization are trusting in you,” he said deeply.That was soothing.At least, he wasn’t acting like Hades.“Alright,” I said.“Do you want me to come with you?” Blake asked and I shook my head.I shook it too quickly that it made Blake feel a certain t

Chapter: PerfectionLaxus stayed glued to Nessy’s side at the hospital, holding her hand tenderly and never letting go. Nessy had been in the hospital for twenty-four hours now, and even though she kept slipping in and out of consciousness as a result of the medication that was administered to her, Laxus remained at her side.Bowman had tried to talk Laxus into going home to get some rest, but Laxus had been adamant.Even the doctor had informed Laxus that there was nothing to be worried about anymore, as Nessy was better; the medication only needed to wear out of her system so that she could regain consciousness fully and be discharged, Laxus still didn’t leave.Staring at Nessy, it dawned on Laxus that he had fallen in love with her.Without knowing and without looking, he had loved Nessy. After the betrayal he experienced from Linnie, Laxus never imagined that he would ever be able to love another woman, but here he was, having his heart pump with love for Nessy.The mere thought of losing Nessy made L

Chapter: True Reconciliation With SelfLuther waited along with Laxus and Bowman at the private hospital lobby while the doctors worked on Nessy.Laxus was clearly restless and agitated, and dangerously quiet.It dawned on Luther that Laxus was madly and deeply in love with Nessy. It reminded him of the feelings he had thought he had for Abby Golden, but since she left, and with the turnout of things, Luther had come to realize that she was simply using him to carry out her vengeance on Laxus simply because he did not reciprocate her love.His heart became warm, and tears gathered in his eyes.Looking at Laxus, he felt slightly envious, but it wasn’t the envy that resulted to hatred.In truth, things had always worked out well for Laxus, and looking at him now, standing right next to his biological father, Luther wished that he had half of what Laxus had. Laxus was visibly and dangerously worried and upset, and as a result, he had been very quiet and tense, making Luther to pray in his heart that Nessy should be alright,

Chapter: Rescue MissionLaxus was almost losing his mind. He had already alerted the cops, and although they were out looking for Nessy, they had to do so cautiously so that they would not upset the kidnappers.Dragon was also out with his men, combing the entire city carefully and searching everywhere for Nessy.“You are going to have a heart attack if you continue like this,” Bowman told Laxus.He had never seen Laxus this troubled, and it confirmed all that Bowman had been saying that Laxus was deeply and madly in love with Nessy. The look he saw in Laxus’s eyes was very familiar; it was the same kind of look that he had about Katryn Kinkaid.“How can you ask me to calm down? What would become of me if anything happens to Nessy?” Laxus said.He was already beating himself up for letting Nessy go to the gigantic mansion with just one driver and bodyguard. He already had that fear the first time that Nessy mentioned her intentions to visit the mansion, but she managed to talk him out of it.How could he hav

Chapter: Losers And WinnersLuther was completely drenched in confusion and sadness, and he covered his face with his hands as he tried to get a hold of himself.He had come into his father’s bedroom to narrate what he overheard between Linnie and Detective George, but what Luther hadn’t expected was the revelation his father was giving him. In the last one hour, Luther had stayed put and listened to Darwin reveal everything to Luther, from the very beginning where he met with Katryn Kinkaid, the betrayal, his sacrifices, and what he had to do to keep Luther in the family name and inheritance.“You mean all that happened?” Luther managed to ask.“And I am telling you now so that you would know that it is time to fight your enemy,” Darwin said bitterly. “The company is your legacy, Luther, but now that it seems like you are about to lose it, you have to also make sure that Laxus’s life is miserable as well,” Darwin instructed.Luther was stunned into speechlessness.He had always wondered why his father never re

Chapter: Father And SonBowman knew the moment he saw the letters even without touching or opening them, and that was because after he heard of Katryn’s death, Mrs. Kinkaid had revealed to him that he had a son with Katryn; a result of their one-night stand, and she also told him that Katryn had tried to write to him, but Darwin seized all the letters.“Five million dollars, and you will get to read all these letters,” Linnie answered. Then she proceeded in bringing out the small box, much to Bowman’s surprise. “And you can have this forever too,” she added.Bowman’s heart grew heavy.What Linnie was asking for was not an amount he could not afford, and he knew that she was a desperate bitch, but he didn’t mind. Anything that would put his mind at rest and help him to complete what he should have done years ago, and also get closer to Katryn one last time, he was willing to do it.“And you will never show your face again?” Bowman asked her.“You have it,” Linnie answered with certainty.Bowman didn’t believe

Chapter: Plan BLinnie and Luther were brought out of the cell they had been thrown into like criminals.“You are free to go,” they were informed.They were both surprised, because they had actually feared that they would remain locked up forever, especially being that the accusation that was leveled against them was huge, and with Laxus’s influence and power, if he decided to press full charges against them, they would never survive it.“On whose authority?” Luther asked.“We are not at liberty to say, but just be grateful to Detective George for pulling some strings,” came the answer from one of the cops.Again, they were shocked. However, Luther lingered to pick up his stuff while Linnie went ahead of him. She found Detective George waiting outside the station and she hurriedly went to him.“You bailed us?” She asked him, almost whispering.Detective George seemed hesitant to speak to her as he was worried about Luther as well.“We shouldn’t be seen talking, and you know this, Mrs. Linnie Kinkaid
