Chapter 114Artemis stormed angrily into her car, the guts of him. To think he could not have the decency or respect to wait until she was gone to invite his human.And she looked gorgeous even without much of an effort, she was gorgeous.Artemis sighed, her grip on the steering tightened, and she stared blankly at the windshield, lost in thought.Yes, she had promised Hermes to stay away and forget about Ivan and anything that had to do with him.But she could not help it, she smiled when an idea appeared in her mind. It would be quite difficult, but she knew she could do it if she was determined enough.Glancing one last time at the building, she zoomed off, not bothering to look back again.She went over the idea in her head again, it was not going to be easy to kidnap Vera, she seemed extremely smart.And Ivan went everywhere with her now, or at least knew where she was Every time.Artemis, nodded as she silently mapped out her plans in her head, it had to be discreet and quiet, s
Anna watched Sara eat, she had been a little brooding since they talked, and she finally told her the truth.It's not every day someone tells you the truth about your past, and you realize you have been living a lie, you have been living a life that was not exactly yours.Anna knew that as Sara felt, anyone would feel the same way, to be honest, and Anna knew what she did was the right thing to do.She had watched Ares keep the truth from her for her safety and his selfish reasons.He loved her, but with each passing day, Anna had slowly begun to see his reasons as selfish instead of reasonable.If they were meant to be they would always be no matter what, but Sara had to know her people, her own.Ares would probably have her head for this, but she would much rather he does than let Sara continue living in the dark.She had promised to see to it that Sara found out the truth, until the very end.Anna had not told Sara yet, but she had found the golden-haired man from the mall.She kne
Hermes got ready to leave, tidying his desk making final adjustments summarizing his work, and preparing to sneak out.He had not told Ivan yet, but he had found out about Sara's whereabouts, or rather Anna had found him and told him.He planned to surprise him with her presence after their meeting and of course when she felt ready enough to see him.Just as he got ready to go, his phone beeped with a notification. His face lit when he saw Anna's name but fell almost immediately when he read the content of the message.Sighing, he sat. He backed down, contemplating continuing his work or just waiting for them to text when they were done with whatever was holding them up.Anna had found him first after his attempt to talk to someone he knew which did not go as planned, he had recognized her almost immediately when she walked up to him and asked for a few minutes to talk.Hermes remembered being so happy that he did not have to do much, the opportunity had fallen right into his lap.The
Eve woke up to her doorbell ringing, she was not expecting anyone and most definitely did not remember ordering anything for the morning.Groaning, she stretched her sore limbs as she struggled out of the bed and walked to the living room.The living room was a tiny yet cozy space, she had done some rearrangements when she arrived, making it to her taste and comfort.It was just big enough to fit a three—sitter comforter couch, a television, and a few decorations.It did not take her up to a minute to cross the little space to the door.“I'm coming.” She yelled as the doorbell rang again.Impatient much, she thought, and who rings someone's door at eight-thirty in the morning?“Good morning Miss.” She heard as she opened the door to a delivery man with a large bouquet of flowers.“Good morning,” Eve answered, squinting her eyes at him. “Are you sure you have the right house?” She asked.“Yes miss, are you Miss Eve?” The man asked, glancing at his notepad. “Yes,” Eve answered.“These
Catherine rang the doorbell and waited patiently for Marilyn to come to the door. Marilyn came to the door and opened it, staring at Catherine in surprise.Catherine could understand why they had not seen each other I a few weeks, they had not even spoken, which was new to them. They were usually joined at the hips.“Marilyn,” Catherine called first, as she stared at her best friend.“Catherine,” Marilyn said weakly.She looked very pale, frail, and sick, and Catherine's eyes widened in horror. Pushing the door open, Catherine stepped into the house.The place looked trashed like it had not been cleaned for weeks.“What happened Marilyn?” Catherine asked. Concern and confusion laced in her voice.“Anderson has been missing.” Marilyn said with tears brimming the corners of her eyes. “, Well, I don't know if he is Missing, or he just ran away, but he has been nowhere to be found for the past few weeks” she finished “What?” Catherine asked, unable to believe her ears. “Yes, Catherine,”
Eve had mixed feelings about riding in 'his dad's' truck. She doubted she would be comfortable in it, and Gede could tell from the look on her face.“I'll get the door for you.” He said, helping her to it.“I don't know where to show you first, Bali is so beautiful, one could never explore all of its beauties in one day,” Gede said as they drove on.“Is that a subtle way of telling me you want to take me on another date sometime?” Eve asked with a laugh.“Is it that obvious?” Gede asked in return, looking at Eve with feigned surprise.A few minutes later, Gede drove past the town's big mill, pointing at things and explaining in detail, giving Eve an intricate history of each thing she pointed out, and answering her questions effortlessly.Slowly, Eve forgot about the car, focusing mainly on Gede and getting to know the history of this beautiful place.Gede noticed her body language change slowly, she seemed more at ease and open, unlike when they had first left, she was tensed and rat
Ivan looked focused as he finished the rest of the work for the day, it was already a few minutes past five, and he did not want Vera all alone in the house when it was dark.Putting some files away, Ivan picked up his jacket and key and headed for the door.The parking lot was almost empty, as the majority of his staff had already retired for the day.He stopped in his tracks as he felt eyes on him, turning to look around, he found no one in sight.Taking a brief look at the back seat of his car, he opened it, stepping inside, and calming himself down.Now he understood what Vera meant when she said she felt like she was being watched or followed.Someone was up to something, and he was going to get to the bottom of it all, he thought as he zoomed off.The evening traffic was hectic as people struggled to get back home, the hustle, and bustle of the surrounding streets made him feel less aware of the eyes that were following him.On second thoughts, Ivan stopped at a pizza place for
Ares walked back out to join them, something was oddly fishy about their attitude, and he knew his instincts never lied to him.Which was why he had insisted on going with them, Sara looked a little too happy for this to just be a little girl’s day out.Considering her recent moods and behavior, it was almost impossible.“Okay, ladies, I got it. Shall we?” He asked, gesturing towards the door.Both women exchanged knowing looks before turning to the door and walking out.Ares tried to read Anna's aura but could not, she had built a strong protective wall around her, and it was impossible for him to read her.Sara, on the other hand, had a clear aura, he could not read anything from it, and it was frustrating as he did not know whether she did that purposely or it was just how she was.The walk to the car was quiet, as neither of the women uttered a word, and I just followed behind.“So, what exactly were you girls planning today?” Ares asked, just to be certain he was not just jumping
