She had always been repulsed by the idea and thought of pregnancy and having a pregnant body.“Show us the bump!” Oliver shrieked.Eve exhaled a long sigh and inhaled to steady herself before she dropped the bomb.“You guys, I have something to tell you,” Eve said getting their attention.“Are you okay? Oliver asked when she heard her tone.“Are you alright?” Carmen asked.“What is wrong?” They all asked in unison.“I am fine, you guys,” Eve said “I am okay”“Okay, so what is wrong?” Carmen asked confused.“I have been lying to you guys, for a long time now.” She started

    Chapter 162Ivan paced the floor as he waited patiently for Hermes, he had made up his mind to sign the treaty.Not because he wanted to, but because it seemed like the most sensible thing to do currently to avoid the war.And that would be if, and only if, the new gods accept it. Hermes was not in full support of it, but he understood why Ivan was doing it.They have also planned to do it on the low, without the knowledge of the other gods, they did not have to know, or they would not let him proceed.“Hey,” Hermes said walking into the office without even knocking.“Hey,” Ivan answered him, walking towards his desk. “I came as soon as I got your message.” He replied, taking a seat.“I signed it, and all I want you to do is take it to Ares and bring his feedback.” Ivan said, "Hopefully it is a positive one.” He added wearily.He was torn between whether this was the right thing to do or not, that he did not know yet, at least not until he got Are's reply.“Do you think this is the r

    Athena sighed as she rolled over in bed, it was one of those days when she would rather not in bed than get up for any reason But she had plans, and with the company being her sole responsibility now since Ares embarked on the journey of finding his child, she needed to be at the office.Rubbing her eyes for a few minutes, Athena finally rolled out, sitting at the edge of the bed and contemplating if all this was really worth it.Or perhaps she could ditch work and everything else for the day, fall back into her bed, and pretend none of it even existed.Scolding herself, she pushed off the bed and headed for the bathroom to get ready.Getting right into it, she did her morning business. Brushing her teeth lazily as she sat on the toilet bowl.Tearing her pajamas off her body when she was done, she trudged into the shower Putting on and letting the cold shower cascade down her back. Exhaling sharply as the cold cut through her skin, giving her goosebumps. It was precisely what she n
