NESSE’S POVI got dressed for the day’s work earlier than usual.The information my bodyguard gave troubled me the entire night, and I couldn’t sleep a wink.Tonia said Iron lived in a place called the Organization, and now, I was informed that Athena also went to that Organization.I wasn’t sure about Athena living there because my bodyguard only said that she went there instead of the slum, and he only waited for about an hour or two before returning, so it was quite possible that she came out of the Organization much later and went to the slum.But the fact that she also went to the Organization where Iron lived meant one thing only; they both knew each other.However, the confusion still remained what their relationship was. Quite frankly, I didn’t care about whoever Iron decided to continue a relationship with after our contract marriage ended because there was nothing binding him to me anymore, but what troubled me was the fact that Athena was working for me.And I recalled how

NESSE’S POV“Whatever you need me to do, Nesse, as long as it is within my profession,” the doctor agreed.He didn’t have another choice anyway. Besides, there was a reason he ate off my money every single week.“But that’s not all,” I said.“What more?” He asked.“I don’t want her to know that she is being tested,” I said. “Is that something you can do?” I asked hopefully.“Of course, Nesse,” he answered, and I sighed with deep relief. “Blood is not the only means to get people tested, especially if you are looking for something like a DNA and the likes. Urine, hairs, and even parts of their skin and their fingerprints can be used,” he explained. “That is music to my ears,” I responded.“However, in this case, seeing that you are looking for something that might not be human,” he said, glancing at my stomach.I swallowed hard and I became uncomfortable.I was reminded instantly that I wasn’t carrying what other people was carrying, which was why I couldn’t get rid of it, and if I t

ATHENA’S POVAfter the doctor left, I went into the kitchen and took care of the empty coffee that Nesse didn’t even take.“Do you need another cup?” I had asked her after she mistakenly spilled the first one and before the doctor left.“No, I don’t,” she had answered.I decided to rinse the cup and keep it just where I saw it before she would demand for another cup of coffee, even though I knew that it wouldn’t be long before she would want more.Since Nesse became pregnant, she had been drinking an insane amount of coffee, but the good part was that the doctor already assured me that it was healthy for the baby.The truth was that there was little or nothing she could do to harm the baby, even though I knew that she would have done so long before now if she could. It only went to show that Lord Dante’s seed was truly strong.That shouldn’t come as a surprise; Lord Dante was a war god, and even though his reign might be shaky since he came back to the Organization, he was still one o

ATHENA’S POVI lurked around Nesse’s house, but soon, I got really bored.“What am I to do with myself?” I asked myself. If we were at the company, there would have been a lot of things to keep me busy, and if I was in there with Nesse, I wouldn’t have been feeling this way because there was always something to be done.“Why don’t you take a walk outside for a bit?” A voice in my head suggested. “You can take a walk and still keep an eye on Nesse. You wouldn’t have to go far so that you can see just who goes in through the gate, and who comes out, and besides, it will just be for a few minutes,” the voice added.At first, I didn’t want to take the advice because I could never tell what would happen, and I didn’t want to take chances, but after deeper thought, I realized that it was probably the best.I had to, otherwise, I might either go crazy with boredom or fall asleep, and neither sounded like what I wanted to indulge in.“Are you leaving?” Nesse’s security, the one who was mindi

IRON’S POVBlake was right, even though he did it in the most disrespectful ways, and I told myself that if I wanted to fix things, I would need to speak to the Titans.After Blake left, I realized that he wasn’t bluffing.“They might either rebel against you or flee when you are not looking, and when the Organization becomes empty, you will have no one to rule over,” Blake had said before he bowed curtly and left.With that, I decided to call all the Titans together and address things.For the first time in the history of the Organization, Titans had fled out of fear, and that alone, was a dent on my reign.If they rebelled or fled again, it would be worse, and I couldn’t let the Titans scatter abroad as a result of my leadership.“You are accustomed to one approach, Iron, but you also know that things are no longer the way they used to be, and a lot has changed. Learn to move with the wave of things. That way, you will be able to control things inside the Organization,” a firm voice
