The Safety I Need
NESSE’S POVI decided to stay back at home today because I couldn’t shake off what happened this morning. It was so horrifying that I couldn’t get it out of my system.I did try to take some coffee after the cops had cleared out the bodies and left, but I emptied everything into the toilet right after I finished drinking it.My whole system had been demoralized.None of my bodyguards or even security guards could have done something like that, and they did affirm that they hadn’t even seen them come in. That was negligence on their part, which I would have to deal with when I got over all of this, but not right now.All I wanted was to get this out of the way.It was as though I was experiencing nightmare during the day. I was even afraid to close my eyes because each time I did, I would see their charred bodies. Whoever killed them was cruel and a demon, and he certainly didn’t reside in my home. So, how they he get in after them? What exactly happened?These were questions that ca
A Mother’s Duty
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
Something From The Past
JULES’S POVHe opened the door and I walked in, and in that moment, I recalled just how it happened some years ago.It was exactly like this I had stepped into his penthouse and we had done the most despicable act.The first time I had met Arthur and his wife, Benita, was at an event some years back. They had been the host, and Benita had been shining radiantly. Then, I had gotten an invitation to their elite party by sheer luck, and I wanted by all means to belong to Benita’s clique of friends.There was nothing else I had craved more.Nesse’s dad, my ex-husband, had just died and left the company in Nesse’s care as her inheritance, but he had left it in a terrible state, and everyone thought that the company was going to fold up, including me. The only person that had faith in that company was Nesse. So, with that worry, I knew that the only way to stay relevant in the country was to attach myself with elite people.“Hi, Benita, such a lovely party,” I had walked up to her and greet
Keep Him Alive
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
Severe Shock
HADES’ POVI waited somewhere desolated for him to give me the signal. It would come really soon, and I waited patiently.When the signal eventually came, I was prepared.“Do you still want to do this?” He asked me.“You know I don’t go back on my words,” I told him firmly. “Is he here?” I asked, almost impatiently.“I really wished that you wouldn’t do this,” he said, shaking his head.“Is he here or have you just brought me out here to waste my time?” I asked him firmly.He should have known that with me, there was no going back.“He is here,” he answered. “But you have to kill him, because if you don’t, he is going to haunt me for the rest of my life for betraying him,” he added.“Leave it to me,” I assured him.He looked at me deeply with longing eyes, and I knew what he would say even before he opened his mouth to say them.“Hades, I really wished that things were different, and this isn’t the path that you have chosen to tow,” he said deeply.“You keep talking about this and not
Even In Weakness
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
The Assignment
IRON’S POVMaybe I wouldn’t have believed what Blake said, but another Titan admitted that truly, Hades had instructed the dead Titan to kill Blake.I became enraged at Hades.How could he have done that after clearly telling him that I would handle things my own way? Hades knew that one thing I hated was my authority being challenged, and yet, he went ahead to do this? What if Blake hadn’t been strong enough to save himself and he had succeeded in killing him?Just what if?I was so enraged that I just wanted to step out. Usually, I wouldn’t go out when it wasn’t dark, but I wanted to just get out of these walls and roam around for a while. I knew a place I could go that wouldn’t put me in the public eyes. “What should we do with him, Lord Dante?” One of the Titans in charge of torturing Blake asked me when I was about to leave.I wanted to ask them to continue torturing him since I couldn’t come to a conclusion on Athena’s advice, but I stopped and turned to him.“Blake said someth
Horrible News
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
Hidden Animosity
IRON’S POVBy the time I returned to the Organization, Blake had already been taken out of prison. He had been well catered to.“Welcome back, Lord Dante,” Athena was the first to welcome me back with a respectful bow like she always did.“Thank you, Athena,” I responded. “At least, now you can see that I listened to you and got Blake free,” I added.Athena shook her head slowly and smiled.“Nothing would have changed if you hadn’t changed your mind, Lord Dante,” Athena said. “As a king, you have every right to whatever decision you choose to make, but I am certain that you know this already,” she added.Athena was sounding really light, as though she was happy, and when I looked at her, I could tell that she really was. She hadn’t been sounding like this before I got Blake released.“Are you in love with Blake?” I asked Athena.“I am not, Lord Dante,” she answered without flinching or blushing, and that was enough to tell that she wasn’t.I had known Athena long enough to know if she
Word Against Word
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
