JULES’S POVThe news of Benita’s death took me by surprise, but I couldn’t react much in Nesse’s presence because she didn’t know anything about my connection with the Loreson’s family.After I left Nesse, I contemplated on going to Arthur or not.He would be grieving now, having just lost his son and wife in a week, but then again, I didn’t want to get myself roped into their problems, as it seemed as though they were under a target.Initially, it had been said that Vince committed suicide, but clearly, he was murdered, and now, Benita. The scene of the murder making the rounds on the news was a horrific sight. It was almost as worse as the one that had happened in Nesse’s living room, and shiver ran down my spine.I was still in my thought when the words from the newscaster in my television floated into my ears.“The city has been thrown into tragedy following the murder of Mrs. Benita Loreson, a prominent woman in the city. This would have been another regular murder case, but sour

ATHENA’S POVThe moment I made that revealing statement, Belle began to sob.I could barely believe what my eyes were seeing. I had expected blood to flow through the slightly cut area, but it was what was in Titans that was inside of her too.“Belle,” I said, staring at her.This was not something that I expected to find, especially because Belle assured me that she was full human. Even when I found her, I had mistaken her for a full human, and I thought that I wasn’t wrong, but what I was seeing right now wasn’t magic.It was real and Belle had lied to me.She made me bring her here thinking that she was full human and would take some time getting used to. I had even been deeply worried about her adjusting because I knew how that Organization was, and I had even stood up for her and insisted that she was full human in Lord Dante’s presence.How did she manage to fool Lord Dante as well?“Are you not going to say anything?” I asked her when she continued sobbing.How could she have f

HADES’ POVI went looking for the closest friend of the Titan I had paid off to murder Blake and get him out of the way.He had been a nuisance for way too long, and I just didn’t want him to repeat all that with Iron. Unfortunately, Iron wasn’t seeing just what I was doing for him and protecting him from.He had no idea how much of a thorn in the flesh Blake had been. For three years that he had been away, Blake had become a tyrant, but I had accommodated him because I wasn’t the king, and I didn’t want to take laws into my hands, only to return from an important assignment to discover that Iron was having a banquet with him.A fucking banquet!Had they thought that Helheim would overpower me and they were already celebrating in advance of that?I was enraged, and very disappointed at Iron. After everything I had done for him, and this was what he chose to repay me with; choosing someone who openly disrespected him?Blake hadn’t given a damn when Iron wasn’t here. None of the other T

IRON’S POVI sent for Hades and Blake at the same time because I wanted us to talk about how to protect the Organization more. Now that I was back, I didn’t want another war to come upon us, and even if it would, I didn’t want it to be as fatal as the last one.Hades arrived first, but his face was a stony as a rock.“Are you still upset?” I asked Hades.“Don’t I have every right to be?” He asked me in return and I nodded.“You do, Hades, but not everything has to go as you want them to go, and I was also upset that you wanted to go against my authority,” I responded.“Well then, I wouldn’t be the first,” he sneered sarcastically.And I understood his sarcasm, but I decided not to dwell on it. Having thought deeply about it, I came to the conclusion that even if Hades had gone behind me to act in such a way that went against me, he had done something really big and commendable, not just for me but for the entire Organization.He murdered Helheim.“Thank you for taking out Helheim,” I

JULES’S POVThe affair between Arthur Loreson and I had blossomed into something more. At first, I thought it was just the usual sex.That hadn’t seemed like a big deal.But as we continued with the secret affair, Arthur began to get wild. He wanted to try all sorts of sex tricks, and I tried as much as possible to indulge him because he was helping me even though I was tired of it.Our first fight was when he wanted us to be naked and have sex on the penthouse rooftop. It was insane, and I had tried to turn him down, and that had led to a serious fight. I was ready to stay away from him, but Arthur offered something bigger, and I couldn’t decline it.If only I hadn’t been too greedy.And then that fateful day, the worst had happened.“Come in,” Arthur told me through his penthouse camera when I arrived.Even Benita, his wife, didn’t know that Arthur owned that particular penthouse, so it enabled us to have an affair for quite some time without being caught.I went into the penthouse,
