Knee-deep Nosy
ATHENA’S POVI was eavesdropping on Nesse and the phone call she was having with her doctor before they barged in. Before I could get a hang of what was going on, they had already opened the door and forced their way into Nesse’s office. My worries were Nesse firing me after they leave for letting them come into her office unannounced; the anger in her eyes had been very raw and deep, and also, them saying something to her about finding me outside her door than at my desk.Although I was almost leaving when they arrived because it was obvious that she was done with the phone conversation.While I listened to her conversation with the doctor, I worried about being caught because she already informed me that a woman named Tonia would be coming soon.However, I had had a deep feeling that she would speak to someone on the phone, and I wasn’t wrong. I listened to her conversation with the doctor from the beginning to the ending, and I had my answer now.She hadn’t gotten rid of the pregn
Never Going To Change
NESSE’S POV“I am expecting a woman named Tonia any moment from now. When she gets here, don’t hesitate to let her into my office,” I told Athena.“Yes, Nesse,” Athena responded dutifully before I went into my office.Athena swore that she wasn’t snitching on me or spying on me for anyone. She profusely stated that she hadn’t mentioned the pregnancy to another soul, and something in me had believed her. However, that didn’t mean that I didn’t keep my eyes on her.I wasn’t someone anyone could easily mess with.When I got into my office, the doctor’s call came in.“Doctor,” I said after taking the call, my eyes already rolling because I knew the purpose of his call.“You haven’t been to the hospital for checkup, and we talked about this, Nesse,” he said, as though he was scolding a child.“Maybe I am waiting for the fucking pregnancy to get itself terminated,” I said without feeling remorseful.It was almost three weeks now, and the more it grew in my stomach, the more I wanted to get
Equal Share
JULES’S POVArthur’s friend, or acquaintance, Brandon, whom he claimed owed him a favor arrived an hour later and discreetly took us away from Nesse’s house.His car windows were tinted, so it was quite easy for us to leave Nesse’s house and get to one of his unoccupied properties without being seen.When he drove into the compound, he got out from the car, expecting Arthur and I to do the same. Arthur wanted to, but I grabbed his hand and stopped him.“What is it?” Arthur asked tiredly.“The security guard at the gate, whom we just passed, knows you and I. If he sees us, he is going to spread the news,” I answered.“So you are suggesting that we remain in Brandon’s car?” Arthur asked me exasperatedly.He could barely believe his ears, but I didn’t let go of him.I would have been glad to let Arthur allow his carelessness to get him seen, but if that happened, I would be dragged into it.The entire city knew that we were not just married, but we travelled out of the country for a hone
The Table Of Guilt Has Turned
IRON’S POVThe Seer’s words made me stunned to speechlessness. If there was one thing the Seer wasn’t known for, it was lies.When I turned to look at Hades, he seemed confused and horrified because he also heard the words of the Seer.“Are you sure about what you just said?” I asked the Seer even though he had never lied to me before.He scoffed and said, “That is quite a disrespectful question.”His voice was slurring and he was beginning to drag his words, which was a sign that he would sleep off any moment from now.“But Hades here assured me that he killed Helheim,” I said.As much as the Seer only told the truth, I also trusted Hades completely. He had been the one helping me get my enemies while I hid myself in Nesse’s house. He was the one who still held my biggest secret, and so far, he hadn’t revealed them to anyone. He was the one whom, out of his fierce loyalty made him keep the throne until my return even when he could very well keep it to himself and take over.Hades an
The Visit
HADES’ POVIron wasn’t joking about what he said; he was dead serious.“We are leaving soon,” he told me.“Um, should the both of us leave the Organization at the same time?” I asked, intentionally sounding worried. “I mean, judging by everything that is going on,” I hastily added.“There is no better time than now, Hades,” Iron responded firmly. “The more I delay, the worse things get,” he added.“I can stay back and keep watch for you, Iron,” I offered.Iron still hadn’t told me why he was going to see the Seer, and what he was going to see him for, but something in me just didn’t like the sound of it. I felt that I might not like it, and I wanted to avert it. Besides, I didn’t want to have anything to do with the Seer.Maybe Iron should have continued keeping it a secret from me.“Are you backing out?” Iron asked me, his gaze piercing into my eyes.“Absolutely not,” I responded quickly.“I have been playing too safe, Hades, and it is costing me way too much. It is time to play it r
Find A Way Out
JULES’S POVAfter the confrontation with Nesse last night, which left me fuming with bitterness and hatred, Arthur and I had passed the night in one of her empty rooms at the back of her big mansion.She didn’t know this, and before none of her domestic servants knew that we had had an altercation, they didn’t stop us from sleeping over.However, I had a tiny worry that by morning, she would hear about it and ask us to leave, but she didn’t, and I didn’t stop worrying until I heard her convoy driving out.“A whole me, Nesse, sleeping like a pig in her lowliest room when her servants even enjoy better,” I muttered out loud.The bitterness and anger in my heart were evident in the sound of my voice.“I told you,” Arthur said.I sucked my teeth and rolled my eyes.He was making me infuriated as well, and it was even a good thing that he hadn’t dared to initiate any form of sexual interaction last night. How could he when we slept on the damn floor?!My entire body ached, and that even ma
