Chapter: Perfection
Laxus 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 Self
Luther 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 Mission
Laxus 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 Winners
Luther 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 Son
Bowman 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 B
Linnie 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

Chapter: An Almost Betrayal
IRON’S POVI saw how enraged Hades was, and what he had been about to do, and so I simply said what needed to be said. I would have said it anyway.Blake’s eyes flashed with curiosity.“Is this a joke?” Hades asked me, forgoing whatever he was going to say that would have led to a greater disaster.I knew that he would be upset finding Blake in my chamber. Hades had been aggravated since the very moment I refused to kill Blake, and all attempt to make him come to acceptance had proven abortive recently, and I was sick and tired of trying, especially when there were more important things to handle.And I had expected that Hades, with his age and experience, would understand and act accordingly, but so far, he had gradually begun to turn into a thorn in my flesh that I couldn’t take out.“No, it is not a joke,” I responded firmly.At least, for now, what Hades had been about to do had been subdued.“We are waging war against them, and I need us to come together to talk about it before

Chapter: Provoked To Spill
HADES’ POV“Hades, Lord Dante requires your presence in his chamber,” one of the Titans came to me and told me.To my astonishment, he came alone.“You now walk around alone?” I asked him. He smiled and said, “Yes, Hades. Blake’s teachings have been helpful, and I am now very equipped to fight back,” he responded with boldness.They had no idea how dangerous whatever was hovering around the Organization was.According to his words, it was a being from another realm that had been let into the Organization. Unfortunately, he couldn’t say more than that because he couldn’t foresee things. The only person that would have been able to reveal everything was the Seer, but I couldn’t go to him.And I certainly couldn’t ask Iron to go to him either.Not after what happened the last time.“So, you think you are fit to fight off any sort of attack?” I asked him, trying to sound as casual as I could.“A hundred percent sure, Hades,” he responded with eagerness.I wanted to say a few things, but

Chapter: Skeletons And Secrets
JULES’S POVArthur walked into my room and saw me seated dejectedly on the bed.“You have been hiding away,” Arthur said as he walked closer to me.“Haven’t you been reading the news?” I asked, snapping at him.“Yes, but should you also be hiding from me? We are in this together,” Arthur said.I curled up my lips in disagreement.“Do you think I am not affected by this?” Arthur asked. “I am being criticized and bullied just as you are,” he added.He sat close to me on the bed, but as soon as I had the urge to get some distance between us, I shifted from him.If Arthur was offended by it, he didn’t say.“That godforsaken daughter of yours is really biting more than she can chew,” Arthur continued. “I knew your dead ex-husband to be a son of a bitch, but I didn’t think that his daughter would be worse,” he added.“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,” I snorted.“In Nesse’s case, she became the full apple tree,” he said bitterly.I wasn’t even concerned or bothered about the fact t

Chapter: It Is Time
IRON’S POVI decided to watch Blake train the Titans. He had been doing so for a while now, and I hadn’t had the chance to watch him, and so I did. While he trained them, I watched, and I couldn’t deny how impressed I was.Some of Blake’s fighting skills were new, and I knew that they would be helpful. Also, I was relieved that he wasn’t hiding anything from them. Blake set his mind and heart to it, and as sweat poured out of him, he gave everything to the training, and I was certain that if they continued this way, they would be able to fend off the attack.I watched them until they were done with the training, and by the time they were done, they were all exhausted, and needed to catch some air.“Lord Dante,” Blake said as he walked to me.He didn’t even sound or look tired.The strength in Blake was something that I was yet to comprehend.Hades was enraged and jealous that I gave the assignment to Blake, but there was nothing he could have done to make me change my mind.

Chapter: See You In Hell
NESSE’S POVAs early as I woke up, I called all my security guards into my living room.“Aside from my doctor, did someone else come into this house?” I asked them.They stared at each other, as though they didn’t understand the simple question I asked, and that was enough to make me upset.“Was my ex-husband here last night?” I asked in clearer terms.And then they began to stare at me as though I was saying something absurd. “Can someone freaking give me an answer?!” I fired at them.“No, Miss Nesse,” the head security answered. “Since the day he walked out of here, he hasn’t returned here,” he added.“You all haven’t been doing your jobs, huh?” I asked them angrily.“We have, ma’am. I can assure you that this mansion is properly secured,” he answered, speaking for the rest of them as well.“And yet, three men’s battered bodies were lying right here in my living room, and none of you could account for it,” I sneered at them.They looked away guiltily.“That was a one-time incident,

Chapter: Death Escape
HADES’ POVAs much as I would have wanted to, I just couldn’t tell anyone that I was attacked by whatever was attacking and killing the Titans.Not even to Iron.Right there in the Organization, and I had felt it, but before I could turn, it had disappeared.“Ouch,” I groaned as the pain from the back of my ear where it had scratched me seeped into me.I hadn’t experienced this sort of excruciating pain in a really long time, and a certain type of fear enveloped me. This attack only went to show that I wasn’t exempted.All this time, I had thought that I couldn’t be reached, and that I couldn’t be attacked, but it just dawned on me that I was wrong. I stayed in my room, trying to nurse the pain all by myself, but it kept getting worse, and by the time I felt it again, I was alarmed.It had been a small scratch, but the pain had been worse than anything anyone could ever think of, and I knew that staying here wouldn’t help.“I am just going to die like one of those Titans, and it will
