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
WAR GOD Chapter 150
Chapter 150Ivan was shocked when he opened the door to see her. He glanced towards the living room to make sure Vera was not looking.He had to get her out of there as fast as possible.“What are you doing” “No one.” He called back when Vera asked who was at the door.“You need to leave.” He told her. Ares probably sent her to spy on the house, like they did the sect arena.“No, I have to speak to you, and I must.” She said.Ivan could see the determination in her eyes and voice. It would be difficult to get rid of her, and he had to.Something about her was different and he could not tell exactly what it was, he would have gauged her aura, but he was not quite used to using his power around Vera yet.He sighed when Vera asked her to come in, she had as trouble as Ivan knew, but he was unable to tell Vera that just yet.“Please, have a seat,” Vera said, gesturing to one of the couches. “Thank you.” She said with a sweet smile, “You are too kind.” “Oh please, it is nothing,” Vera s
WAR GOD Chapter 151
Chapter 151“You are asking me to run away, to leave my people.” She said in disbelief.“No, Sara, it is not like that,” Ares said, trying to salvage the situation.“On Ares, it is exactly like that,” Sara said angrily.“Not when you interpret it like that, what I meant was go into hiding for a few days before and after the war,” Ares explained.“No, Ares,” Sara said with a stern voice and an even sterner look. “Please, Sara, I almost lost you the last time. I do not want history to repeat itself.” Ares said. “Then do not instigate the war, Ivan will not, I know that for sure,” Sara said.“Why does no one understand me?” Ares said frustrated. His hand found his eyes and he rubbed.“Because you are being selfish, and we cannot understand you because we are not you,” Sara said. “You know I thought my leaving would be a sign, or perhaps a prompt for you to change,” Sara said sadly, her voice breaking.“But it was not, you are not even remorseful.”“It is not what you think.” Ares said
WAR GOD Chapter 152
Chapter 152“Who was she?” Vera asked, gesturing with her chin towards the closed door.“Athena, she is one of the gods,” Ivan said, rubbing her hand gently.“From the other side?” She asked. “Yes, Vera. She is on the other side, with the new gods.” He told her.“I think you should. Take her advice.” Vera said, "Send a peace treaty, that's the way there would be no war.” She said thoughtfully.“We can't Vera, we have pride as a people, what do you think will happen if I do send the peace treaty, and it gets rejected?” He asked. “The people will not have it from me,” Ivan said.“I do not think they will reject it, Ivan, you and your people have lost so much to these same people before,” Vera said.“And I am sure they have too, maybe they are waiting for you to send the peace treaty in first.” She finished.“Fine, I will talk to Hermes about it and see what he thinks,” Ivan said.Hermes jolted when the door jerked open and Sara stormed in with a frown.“Easy, easy tiger,” Hermes said,

Chapter 153Eve had slowly adapted to life in Bali, most of the locals were familiar with and loved her.Gede had been helpful in her journey of finding herself. They had slowly gotten closer and closer.The thought of being here was still etched in her mind, and Gede's presence in her life made her want to stay even more.He had been more inquisitive these past few days, asking about New York, her former job, and her friends, but he never asked about her family.Eve guessed he had figured by now how she hated to talk about it, and when she had mentioned leaving the Big Apple to settle in Bali his eyes had lit up.She was quick to remind him that it was just a thought, she had not made up her mind yet.He was still happy regardless, that she had the thought was enough to gladden him.“So, I was wondering,” Eve began, adjusting on his lap to face him squarely.“Wondering about?” Gede asked, giving her his utmost attention.“Why you have never asked me about my family, or anything relat
