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

Chapter: Enemies And FriendsHADES’ POVGivan and Norman followed me back to the Structure obediently and meekly.After watching in horror the swift and cruel death of the third Titan, they knew that there wasn’t any way out. Even though they had both initially agreed to come with me, after that incident, the fear had been instilled in them, and they knew that if they as much as posed any slight resistance, they would end up like the dead Titan.We also left his body right there to rot.Syron was waiting at the gate when we arrived.“These are Titans, aren’t they?” He dragged me to the side and asked.“Yes, they are,” I responded.“Why have you brought the Titans to our cave?” He asked worriedly. “You know that we are like oil and water; we don’t mix,” he reminded me.“But I stayed in their camp for years, Syron,” I responded.“That is different,” he said.“How so?” I asked, cocking one of my brows.“You were there on a mission,” Syron answered.“And so are they,” I said, referring to Givan and Norman.“But look

Chapter: Barged InNESSE’S POVAs much as I wanted to tell Athena to leave, or even call the cops on her, for the very first time, I had to surrender, but I didn’t do it in a way that made it seem like I was surrendering.“The only reason you are getting away with this is because of this damn condition I am in,” I had told her.Again, until I found whoever was responsible for that attack, I might need an extra hand, and more than that, I didn’t want to keep collapsing in public.I dozed off against my wish. I guessed the exhaustion had gotten hold of me and I wasn’t able to control it, and when I woke up, Athena was still right there.“Don’t you take a break?” I asked her with a sneer. “I don’t want anyone hovering around me,” I added tightly.“Which is why I am giving you a little distance,” Athena responded.I opened my mouth to ask her to leave my ward, or maybe even send her on a pointless errand, just to get her away from me, but I changed my mind, and for good reason.“How bad is the scandal?” I

Chapter: Without A ChoiceHADESGivan remained scared and confused.He glanced at the other two sleeping Titans, but those ones were so dead into sleep that they didn’t even stir.I shook my head at them.“How…how…how did you find us?” He managed to ask, stuttering.“You forget who I am easily, Givan,” I said.Givan was the leader of the gang; I knew this when I eavesdropped on them twice in the Organization plotting to rebel.It was a good thing that he was the one awake because it would make whatever I wanted to achieve easier.“I am sorry, Hades,” he apologized profusely.“After plotting to rebel for a while, it’s hard to believe, or rather disappointing, that this is what becomes of all of you,” I said.His eyes widened in shock. He probably didn’t realize that I knew what they had been planning.“How did you find out?” He managed to ask again.I chuckled deeply.“You weren’t discreet enough,” I responded.Then he tried to look over my shoulders, more worried and afraid that someone was with me, most likel

Chapter: Strong Sense Of DirectionHADES’ POVI checked every part of me thoroughly and I found out that I was completely healed. Not that I was surprised anyway because he was one of the best any of the realms had ever found.As a matter of fact, he was the only healer anyone had ever known, only that I was smart enough to keep him refined tot his realm only. If others knew of his potency, they would have tried to bribe him into leaving to join them, or if that didn’t work, because he was too loyal to bite, they would have tried to force him.And when that didn’t work, they would have tried to kill him.One thing I learned early in life that most realm leaders didn’t was secrecy; even Iron didn’t have it.If I was in his shoes, I would never have given in and divulged all the things he revealed to me.“Going somewhere?” Syron asked me.I didn’t even realize that he was there.I turned and saw him staring at me with reverence, and then he bowed with obeisance. I couldn’t deny that I had missed this dearly.For years, I

Chapter: The RemedyJULES’S POV“Nesse has collapsed again,” I said out loud.I knew that Arthur had already seen the news as well, but somehow, I just felt the need to say it out loud.The news was devastating, but it was also worrying.I might be embittered with Nesse for what she had been doing to me, but that didn’t mean that I wanted her to be hurt.I was still her mother, and no matter what, I would continue to have that compassion for her. If only she would just give in and let me have my own share of the wealth. If only she would just stop being as obstinate as her dead father.“She is in the hospital as we speak,” I said. “The cops were right there when it happened, and she might be badly hurt,” I added.“Unfortunately, the incompetent cops have no idea what went wrong with her,” Arthur said with a snarl. “They just accompanied her there and left as soon as her bloody doctor said he couldn’t divulge anything to them,” he added bitterly.It dawned on me that he was talking from a place of a desir

Chapter: What I Need More NowNESSE’S POV“You are awake.”The doctor’s voice was the first thing I heard when I opened my eyes, and the moment I did, I recalled how I got here, and that knowledge came with also knowing that it must have led to a scandal.The press had been looking for something to feed on for a while. Collapsing once was news, but a second time and outside of the comfort of my mansion was a call for concern, and that only stemmed from the desperation to drag me through the mud.Without hesitation, I made to jerk up from the bed, but something held me back; my hands had been fixed to something that was attached to the bed, making it impossible for me to get away. Whatever they used was soft and comforting, but it was also tight.“What is this?” I asked, turning to the doctor.“I knew that this would be your first move when you wake up,” he answered.But his response only made me more upset.“So the next thing to do is get me chained up?” I asked him angrily.“You are not in chains, Nesse, and I am
