WAR GOD Chapter 20
Ivan walked back to their initial seat. He sat with his hands clasped on the table as his thoughts wandered. This just confirmed his guess, they were greater than them.He knew just which of the new gods killed his spy, there was no way they could've defeated him or come back home alive.He knew it was Hades, Hades had brutally eliminated his spies. All he knew because he had fought with the god of the underworld. In his immortal form, Hades was terrifying, with his black cloak and flame-lit eyes and his three-headed guard dog.Hades had a distinct smell, which Ivan had perceived on the remains of the spies.Artemis put down the phone on the table, staring intently at Ivan, he looked in deep thought, and she hated to break it, but she had to.“Hermès should be here any moment now,” she said as she waved to a waiter to take away the cold coffee and replace it with a fresh one.“Did he find anything?” Ivan asked. “He didn't say anything to me,” Artemis said.She sat impatiently, wonder
WAR GOD Chapter 21
The whole table stared on in silence, some surprised and others not, Athena and Apollo knew how much Ares loved Sara before the war, and they weren't surprised that he still felt the same way now, many years after the war.Hades hissed, averting his eyes from contact with anyone, he knew what he said, and he wasn't sorry he said it. He felt no remorse for triggering Ares' outburst and sat back comfortably with his arms crossed, and his infamous smirk plastered on his lips.The floor was open for suggestions, and he gave his, so why was he angry? Yes, he loved the girl, but that was before the war before the old gods eliminated many of their own, including his father, their leader Prometheus.Every feeling he had for Sara should have died with the war. Moreover, the girl was blind and had no memory of him whatsoever, it would only be utilizing their means by doing what needed to be done. It would harm no one if she was used as bait, Hades thought, rubbing his chin.Mother Isis looked a

“I have no idea, I'm just as clueless as you,” Hermès said, lifting his glass of whiskey back to his lips and wincing at the burning sensation at the back of his throat.He placed the glass back on the table with a thud.“I should get going, I have things to do,” he said, waving the waiter over for his bill.“I should leave too, I have to tell the rest of me the sect of the recent developments,” Artemis said, getting up to leave too.“Alright, see you around,” Hermès said as they parted ways.Ivan drove as fast as he could, to beat traffic. His mind wandered. He was afraid something was wrong, and she would rather not mention it, probably something that had to do with Steve Anderson's death. But he'd taken care of that.“I'm not going to worry until I've spoken to her” he cautioned himself as he pulled up into the driveway of the café.He spotted her car up front and knew she was there already.Vera sat in a booth at the back sipping a cup of coffee with a half-bitten chocolate-covere

Anna had spent just a couple of hours with Sara and already like the girl, it took a little time for Sara to warm up to her though, but she was glad she finally did.The girl was very much introverted and intelligent, Anna had studied her carefully. She was fragile yet had a strong, commanding aura around her.She had the softest voice Anna had ever heard and spoke so calmly that she could put anyone to sleep by just speaking to them. A skilled instrumentalist with the most beautiful singing voice that was second to none.She had a power she hadn’t yet unlocked and Anna knew it would take time, but it would unravel.Anna examined her I knew her and knew she was curable, but it would take time and help from Ares in terms of her regaining her memory. She’d need subtle reminders and feelings to be able to remember anything.And that’s where Ares came in, she’d have to talk to him about it, maybe ask him to spend more time with her. Remake some memories and kindle old flames.Her sight wa

Vera drove away with a wide smile on her lips, she liked how much Ivan cared for her. It was an entirely new feeling to her, to have someone apart from her mother care for her this well, that is minus the press who are always on her case for juicy gossip and something to feed the public with.He had a good sense of business and was very intelligent in management and finances, She thought about hiring him but discarded the thought just as immediately as it came to her.The headline would be horrendous, ‘Millionaire CEO Vera, hires her ex-husband Ivan Johnson as her assistant due to his immense brilliance’ She laughed out loud at the thought of it.The headlines aside, she knew Ivan would never take a job from her, he was the most responsible, respectful human, but he had an ego that was larger than his head and a pride he would never let down.She knew this from the little happenings around the house for the three years they were together.She reached out her hand to turn on the radio,

Mother Isis followed Ares with her gaze as he stomped out, she didn't blame him. Every so often we feel so strong for people that we can't stand any form of slander against them.She had been very much in love once and had made insane sacrifices, so she understood why Ares would rather be in disagreement with the sect than do anything that might hurt or threaten Sara's safety.“Don't! Sit back down” She commanded Athena as she made to stop him “he needs to clear his head”Athena looked at the door before letting out a sigh and sitting back down. She didn't understand why Mother Isis would stop her or why Hades and Osiris thought using Sara as bait was a good idea or suggestion when they both knew how Ares felt about her.Men! She thought, wondering why thinking was hard for them sporadically.“Do you men ever bother using your brain sometimes? Try it, it is helpful.” She said, rolling her eyes at the three of them.“Calm down Athena,” Mother Isis said pleadingly, the last thing she wa

“What do you mean by you know what I did?” Vera asked, amusement laced in her voice.“I know that you killed my son.” He said firmly, pointing an accusing finger at her. “You saw him as a threat and competition and decided to eliminate him” Vera burst into roaring laughter, shaking her head. Her, Vera, saw his late son Steve as a competition, an insane joke.“Mr. Anderson, with all due respect, if you don’t have something tangible to say to me, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to leave,” Vera putting on a stoic face and a stern voice.“I’m not going anywhere until you admit to it, or I’m going to press charges for the murder of my son.” Mr. Anderson said, wagging a fat index finger at her.“I cannot admit to a crime I did not commit Mr. Anderson, so if you will please excuse me, I have work to do.” She said getting to work at the desk.“You’re just trying to prove stubborn, aren’t you, what did Steve ever do to deserve that?” He asked with an emotion in his voice.“Forgive me for what

Ares froze at the question, not because he didn't have an answer to that, but because he didn't know how to explain, Where would he start, how would he make her understand without sounding like some kind of obsessed creep?Sara waited patiently for an answer. She could sense his breathing Change and his pulse pick up pace, she knew instantly that he was anxious. It probably was a touchy subject for him and was sorry to pry, but it involved her, so she needed to know.Ares watched her face, brushing away a stray strand from her face, churning his mind for the best way possible to tell her without completely telling her.He knew she wasn't ready to hear everything, at least not right now, She would most definitely freak out and ask to go home or ask to be taken to her people, the old gods."Why?" Sara asked again.Ares sighed lightly, his grip on her hand tightening a tad bit."Because Sara I...I lost you five years ago," he stuttered. "And I don't plan on ever losing you again," he sai
