Chapter: Only For The MoneyJULES’S POVGetting Arthur to plead for us to return back to the city at night was a task I never saw myself doing, but it eventually worked.“I don’t want any favors from him,” Arthur had countered proudly.“You don’t have a choice right now,” I told him.“We have already been handed tickets to leave,” he had reminded me. “And arrive in the city in broad daylight so that everyone would see our shame?” I had asked Arthur with irritation. “You might have lost your shame, but I haven’t. I am not going to let Benita’s friends make mockery of me,” I had added sternly.“I don’t think you should be thinking about them right now,” Arthur had said. “If we don’t take this free opportunity, we will be stranded in a foreign country,” he had added in a warning tone.“And I would rather be stranded here than go back and be the ridicule of all,” I had responded.“Then you will be staying back alone!” Arthur had declared.“Fine!” I had responded, and he knew that I meant every single word I had jus

Chapter: Stubborn Woman IRON’S POVThis wasn’t how I intended to have the conversation with Nesse, but on the other hand, I didn’t have any proper words prepared in my head.I even doubted that there was any proper way to present what I wanted to say to her.Also, it was ironical that the last time I was in this very room, Nesse hadn’t known. She had slept through my short visit, but this time around, she woke up even before my feet could enter the room. I noticed that she looked slightly different.Maybe I wouldn’t have noticed that if Athena hadn’t told me about the pregnancy, but now that I knew, she just looked different, but then again, I could be wrong because Nesse might have terminated the pregnancy.She was still in shock from my last statement.Nesse wasn’t a woman who could easily get thrown off balance. She was always prepared for anything and everything, including the ones she never thought was going to happen, so this must really be very deep for her. I also understood her shock anyway.This wa

Chapter: A Man In My BedroomNESSE’S POVAfter having my bath, I stood in front of my mirror naked, and I stared at my stomach.“I don’t want you,” I said deeply.I was alone in my room, so the words came out of my mouth, and I meant every single one of it. I didn’t want the baby, and as I stared at my stomach, I could feel resentment bubbling inside of me.The pregnancy was just two weeks and a few days, but I could already see it marring my stomach.What would I say when the swell began to show? How would I be able to keep it away from the eyes of everyone? For someone who was running away from scandal, this was worse than anything that could have ever happened to me.“You are going to ruin things for me,” I said again. “If only you would just leave me alone,” I added.I couldn’t even touch my stomach because I didn’t want to have any form of connection with whatever is growing inside of me. Even when I was bathing, I could barely wash my stomach, and it wasn’t because the doctor said that the pregnancy was a d

Chapter: Another RegretIRON’S POVImpatiently, I waited for night to come upon us. I also waited for Athena to return.I had been walking around the Organization, trying hard enough to find the missing Titan, but there were no traces of him anywhere, which even left me worried and confused.Where could he have gone?If he had gone out of this Organization, there was no way I wouldn’t have known about it. I definitely would have known. So, if he didn’t go out, where then was he?I tried to not think that he might have been killed already, but with what had been happening, that seemed like the only thing that kept coming to my mind.When Athena eventually arrived, she came right to me as expected.Even though I was worried sick about the missing Titan, and I had been busy trying to find him and also find out who or what was responsible for this, somehow, my head also made room to think about Nesse and the pregnancy.Athena hadn’t given me a proper response on her termination status, and that made me even more

Chapter: Stick To The Instruction!HADES’ POVIron assembled all the Titans together, and it was all because of the Titan who had gone missing.He was the same Titan whom I had given an assignment to find the assassin for me, and now, he was missing. Something kept telling me that he wasn’t just missing.He had been killed.“I specifically asked every one of you to walk in groups,” Iron started.His voice was laced with anger and bitterness, and I couldn’t blame him. Iron was trying his best to protect everyone, and that was because not protecting them would affect his reign as king.“Didn’t I?” Iron asked.“You did, Lord Dante,” they all responded.Just then, Blake walked out and joined the rest of us.He was healing quite well. As a matter of fact, if we hadn’t gone to that battle together, I wouldn’t have known the extent with which he was injured, and that even made me very surprised. He didn’t look anything close to the attack he received.I also noticed that upon Blake’s arrival, Iron didn’t spare him a glance.Be

Chapter: Her ResponsesATHENA’S POV“Got it, Nesse,” I responded.There wasn’t any other response I could have given, but I couldn’t help but wonder if she had succeeded in taking out the pregnancy while I was away.Unfortunately, I couldn’t ask her that.“Good,” Nesse said. “Now, let’s go and get this out of the way,” she added.She turned to the mirror and stared at her reflection again.I stared at her and thought about her personality again. She wasn’t dependent on anyone, especially a man, and that was one of the reasons she probably didn’t want a child.Also, I could understand the public ridicule and scandal of an unmarried woman being with child.But then again, since Nesse was strong, wealthy, and very independent, I couldn’t also help but wonder how she and Lord Dante had come to be husband and wife. I still hadn’t confirmed anything because I couldn’t trust Hades’ words completely.However, there was also no other logical reason as to why Lord Dante would concern himself about Nesse so deeply that

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
