JULES’ POV“Is everything ready?” I asked the news anchor for the fourth time in twenty minutes, and she had the nerve to shake her head.“But we will be pretty soon,” she said hurriedly.“You had better be or I am going to take this interview elsewhere,” I warned her.“We will be ready in no time,” she tried to assure me while her crew members hurried to set things up, but I was already getting tired of the delays.Nesse could curl up in bed and switch off her phone, and even stay away from work, but as her mother, I would take up the responsibility and get damage control done, and that was exactly what I was doing.My phone rang, and I sucked my teeth when I saw the caller.He had been buzzing my phone all morning and it was beginning to get me really sick.“What do you want?” I asked, almost barking into the phone.I had to remind myself to keep my voice down just so that the news anchor and her crew members wouldn’t get a hang of my phone conversation.“I am still waiting here,” h

IRON’S POV”Can I have a word?” Hades asked, walking into my chamber.By the sound of his voice, I knew that he was very serious about what he wanted to discuss about. I didn’t have a problem with that anyway, so I nodded.“What is it about?” I asked him.“There has been news,” he said and stopped.I was expected him to go on, but he stopped and looked at me.“What is the news about?” I asked him.“Nesse was almost attacked last night, and the men who had gone in to attack her were brutally murdered. Now, I didn’t see their bodies, but from all I heard today, it wasn’t just another human that had them killed,” he stated.It was my turn to remain quiet and wait for Hades’ question even though I already knew where he was going to with this information.“Were you at Nesse’s home last night?” Hades asked.“Yes, I was,” I answered, because I didn’t see the need to lie to Hades.Here, he was the only one who knew everything, and that was because while I played the role of Nesse’s husband, I

IRON’S POVI thought deeply about what Athena told me, and I couldn’t deny that there was wisdom in her words.She had further analyzed the situation from the angle that Hades and I hadn’t seen it from, and I couldn’t help but agree with most of what she said.Blake had been loyal and faithful since the war; even after Athena said this, I talked to a few other Titans and asked, and they confirmed that indeed, Blake had been fiercely loyal.“He is just upset because after leaving and abandoning us like you never cared, you were able to come back to a throne that has been preserved for you,” Athena had told me. “And trust me, Lord Dante, he is not the only one who is enraged about it; some others are, but Blake is the only one with guts, strong enough to challenge an authority. So, imagine how useful he would be to you if you had him on your team,” Athena had finished.Hours after that, and after consulting some other Titans to get a confirmation of Athena’s statement, I had thought dea

NESSE’S POV Waiting for my personal assistant to call back with the assignment was taking longer than I expected and I was getting really impatient.So far, being in this house had been really frightening for me, so much so that even sounds made me jerk.Just like when I tried to drink something that my chef prepared for me, and when I heard a movement which came from the window, I jerked in shock, and the glass fell from my hand and shattered to the ground instantly.“Oh, shit,” I exclaimed in exasperation.If I continued this way, I might go crazy before the end of the day, and I really couldn’t afford that. Maybe I should have gone to work today; that would have taken my mind off this, but it was almost evening now, and so it was pointless.“Ask my cleaner to come upstairs and clean up this mess,” I rang my chef and instructed her.I hadn’t even come downstairs all day because I worried that if I did, I would see those bodies right there in my living room. All this was happening i

HADES’ POVI used my secret entrance to get into the Organization. It was quite easy to just use the wall that no one had taken time to notice.That way, I could come in without my arrival being known until I made myself known.The moment I appeared into the Organization through my secret wall, I began to smell the aroma of something good.“A banquet,” I said with certainty.I didn’t need to see it before I knew that that was exactly what was going on. Without even getting there, I began to boil.What was he celebrating about?He didn’t know that his secret had been divulged to me, and he also didn’t know that the news of some humans was all over the city, and I knew without a doubt that Iron had been responsible for their death.I passed by the murder sight of Benita Loreson, the mother of Vince, whom I had killed on Iron’s order, and from the way she was killed, it was obvious that it wasn’t a human that murdered her. I recognized her instantly as Vince’s mother, and I wondered why
