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
WAR GOD Chapter 143
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
WAR GOD Chapter 144
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
WAR GOD Chapter 145
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
WAR GOD Chapter 147
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
WAR GOD Chapter 148
Chapter 148Ivan walked over to the seat beside her, he could see the fear in her eyes, the way her throat moved when she swallowed nervously, the way she fidgeted with her fingers on her lap.“Have you ever thought of having kids?” Vera asked when she saw how he was slowly relaxing into the situation.“Not really,” Ivan said, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees and his palms clasped together.“Me neither,” Vera whispered. “I mean, I have always seen and thought that kids are cute.” She continued.“But having one of my own?” She said, the disbelief clear in her tone, “It has never crossed my mind, not since I became an adult at least.” She added with a shrug.“How do you feel?” She asked, turning to look at him.“I don't know, Vera, I feel happy and sad and overwhelmed all at once.” He said, rubbing his palms anxiously. “Me too,” Vera muttered. “I do not know the first thing about fathering or being a father, Vera, what if I mess it up.” He asked rhetorically.“You will no
WAR GOD Chapter 149
Chapter 149Ares sat at the table going over the war plans when Mother Isis walked in. He had not noticed yesterday, but now that he looked a little closely, he could see she did not look alright.Her eyes were sunken, her eyes had lost their beautiful glow and her skin looked paler than usual.“Mother Isis.” He called, walking up to her. Her steps were uneven, and she looked as if she felt a little dizzy, he noticed that too.“Are you alright?” He asked he had never seen her like this, so it was a little alarming.“Ares dear, I am fine,” she said, walking over to the table to take a look at the plans “Preparing already?” She asked surprised, she knew he was proceeding with the arena, but she did not think it would be this early.“Yes,” Ares replied shortly. He saw her eyes fall, and her face looked sad.She did not support this either, just like Athena. “Son, can I have a word with you?” She asked, walking away from the table towards a quiet corner. “Gentlemen, please excuse me, I
