WAR GOD Chapter 140
Chapter 140 Vera sat still thinking about all Aunt Marilyn had just said, it was unfortunate that she had toiled all those years with Mr. Anderson, and now everything was gone. She had nothing to show for it, she had lost her son, then her husband, and now the company. “I am so sorry you have to go through this, Aunt Marilyn,” Vera said, sympathizing with the older woman. “Thank you, Vera,” Marilyn said, sniffing. She had to be stung, she thought to herself. “I have something to tell you guys too,” Vera said. “Are you okay?” “Yes, dear, are you okay?” Catherine and Marilyn asked simultaneously. “Yes, I am fine now.” She said, looking at them intensely. She contemplated telling them, of course, they would freak out and her mother would scold her and Ivan for not involving the police like they had promised to. “I was kidnapped, a few days ago,” Vera said letting the cat out of the bag. “When?were?how?” Catherine asked in a panic. “Chill, ma, I am fine now.” Vera said reassu
WAR GOD Chapter 141
“Ares!” Athena called furiously, stopping him in his tracks.To her, the meeting today was not only chaotic but Are's actions and words had made her question if he was still the same Ares she had always known It seemed all of a sudden he was so concerned about getting love and validation from these people that he had forgotten how to do the right thing.She had patiently waited for everyone to leave before she approached him on the topic.What he was trying to do was not fair, and his reasons for doing it were despicable.“Athena” Ares answered slowly turning to face her. “Look, I have made my decision, and it is final, I am not going back on my words.” He knew exactly what she wanted to say, she was going to go on about his decision and he would be damned if let he get in his way.“And you think promising them something like that or going ahead with it is fair?” Athena asked.“It might not be, but it would help. I gain their trust and love again, Athena, and that is precisely what

Vera waved goodbye to her mother and aunt Marilyn and entered her car speeding off. As she drove home, she realized how much she needed that, she thought as she sped on.Her mother was slowly beginning to be her safe space, aside from Ivan that is.They had been a little distant since Sara came, not that the girl had anything to do with it, but Ivan had been more busy and committed ever sinceAnd Sara had begun training as he had been more invested and involved.Vera winced when she felt her stomach churn and bile rose to her mouth, she tasted the acidic chime rolled down her window and spat out She had been feeling sick for the past two days, and it seemed to be getting worse with time.Rolling her window back up, she sighed as she felt relief and better.The house looked empty as she drove in, the windows were all closed and the lights were out He probably was not home, yet, she thought as she stepped out and into the house.She freaked a little when she found the door unlocked bu

Chapter 143“We need to do something!” Athena said, looking Mother Isis straight in the face.She had run here as soon as Ares had left, mother Isis was the other person aside from her who thought the idea of a war was ridiculous.Yet, she had refused to speak up or involved in anything that looked like an altercation with Ares. According to her, she already knew he was stubborn, and it seemed his mind was made up, and she refused to waste her time “There is nothing we can do, Athena.” She said weakly. “Understand this.” She added, giving her a pointed look.“Mother, we can't let this happen, we can't let him go on with this,” Athena said, taking her seat opposite her.“You can always, leave.” Mother Isis said instead, making Athena squint at her in disbelief.“Why would I leave?” She asked. “Because you are not okay with the idea of a war, and Ares'mind is made up. There is not much that can be done.” Mother Isis said, going back to her knitting.“Do you even care for the sect, do

Chapter 144Ivan rubbed her back slowly as she puked into the toilet a little more.“Are you okay?” He asked when she fell quiet, her little pants scared him a little and when she nodded a yes, he scoped her up in his arms and took her to the bed.“I am okay, Ivan, you look like you just found out I'm dying or something,” Vera said, laughing lightly.“Vera, baby, you are sick, and it is freaking me out,” Ivan said, throwing the covers over her.“I am fine,” Vera whined when he cuddled up to her.“No, you are not.” Ivan said, "That is why I need to cuddle you up, now shut up and let me love you.” Vera laughed at his antics, as she snuggled deeper into him, sniffing his scent as she smiled into his neck, taking in all the warmth he brought.“We will check you in at the hospital first thing tomorrow morning,” Ivan said, a note of finality in his voice. “But you have work,” Vera whined. “Yes, I know you do, but you come to work if you are sick now can you?” Ivan asked.“Not Really.” Ca

Chapter 145“Are you alright?” Hades asked again, he seemed unconvinced by Are's answer.“Yes, I think so,” Ares said, looking out the window.“Are you sure?” Hades asked him, turning to look at him properly.“Yes, Hades, I am perfect,” Ares said, a hint of irritation in his voice.“No, not about that,” Hades said, clearing his throat. “About going on with the war, that is what I am talking about.” “Yes,” Ares answered simply.“You do not seem very sure to me,” Hades said, shrugging.“Look, alright. I said, I am sure, we are doing this and all I need from you is to get these people ready and not question me.” Ares said. “I know you Ares, I have known you for decades and not once, not one day have you ever spoken with a quivering voice,” Hades said, glancing at him, a suspecting look on his face. “What exactly are you driving out” Ares asked, giving him a skeptical look.“I heard your voice quiver and the looks you exchanged with Athena.” Hades said.“It was nothing,” Ares said defe
WAR GOD Chapter 146
Chapter 146Ivan felt his hands tremble, and he gripped the steering wheel even tighter, his heart hammered in his chest and he could feel little beads of sweat form on his forehead.This was something unexpected, he had not even had the thought of it, let alone imagined it.He glanced at Vera and saw her eyes were still glued on whatever she was looking at out the window.She did not seem like she was ready to talk about it, he felt his stomach churn a little and gulped, keeping the contents in check.Trying to gather his wits and wrap his head around the situation, he admonished himself, he needed to be strong for her especially.Would she keep it? It was the question that kept repeating In his head, he had never had the conversation with her, so he had no idea what her take on pregnancy and kids was.She looked like she would not mind having a kid or two, but at the same time, Vera had always and will always be career-driven.So he doubted she would give that up to have kids just y

Chapter 147 Athena woke up with a raging migraine, wincing as she sat up, she massaged her temples gently with her fingers. She had had too much whiskey the night before after dinner and, of my course e she knew there were repercussions for her actions, and now she had to deal with this. Getting up to begin her day, she slipped an Advil into her mouth, forcing it down her throat to ease with the pain. Walking to the bathroom, Athena stared at her reflection, cringing at the sight of her disheveled hair and a stray drool on her cheek. “I look like an alien,” she muttered, patting her hair down to take the mess. “Ugh.” she groaned when it did not help. Going through her morning routine lazily, Athena was finally done. Giving herself a once over, she smoothed down her dress and smiled at her reflection. “Much better.” She said doing a half twirl. “Perfect.” She had settled for a sleeveless beige top and brown skirt that looked stunning. Matching it with a black pair of the Dior
