Hades had gotten a call earlier in the day from Tina saying her friend and client needed a defense attorney for a case that involved murder.The friend was guilty and the father of the deceased was about to press charges against her. He hadn't yet done it, but he had advised that they speak and go over things before he did.Hades was an experienced defense attorney, having practiced for a couple of years, he was well-known and renowned and ha made a name for himself.He had done a little background check on his soon-to-be client and found out she was a beautiful young woman who just recently got divorced from a three-year-old marriage.She was quite successful, owning a million-dollar company and a net worth that would make one salivate.Hades knew this was the kind of client he would love to work with and set to work.He had also asked Tina for surface information on the case and had dug round a little on the issue.The prosecutor to be, Mr. Anderson, was a former enemy, and he was f

Sara felt less tense and at ease, but still held on tight as she walked through, hand in hand with her right hand wrapped around his arm.Ares imagined what she might have gone through to be this scared to even walk through an alley with him here.“Thank you” Sara murmured under her breath, “I'm not a fan of alleyways, I don't have very nice experiences in them, so I just avoid them altogether.” She said, trying to explain, so she didn't look too weak.“I don't need you to explain yourself, Sara,” Ares said, placing a cold hand on the hand that held his arm. “I understand” Sara let out a sigh of relief, she was grateful that she was slowly beginning to have people who understood her, like Anna and Ares.They finally left the alley and Sara breathed a sigh of relief, she knew because she didn't feel the walls around her or the stink from the bins and rubbish.Ares felt her try to unwrap her hand from around his arm and placed his over hers to stop her.“Please don't,” he said “Okay”
WAR GOD Chapter 38
Hades felt a strong presence, something immortal he couldn't place his hand on.Ivan had taken up a new mortal body after the war, so it would be physically hard for any of the new gods to physically identify him.Furthermore, he had masked his immortality earlier, so Hades wouldn't recognize him.Ivan, on the other hand, had perceived death and knew instantly that the one person who smelt like the dust of death was none other than Hades, he hadn't even bothered to change his name, bold of him, Ivan had thought.Hades went on with the questions, trying not to seem suspicious of his client, feeling a little uneasy from the hateful stares his client said his ex-husband was throwing him.“Were you at the scene on the day of the murder?” Hades asked.Vera glanced at Ivan before answering.“I was,” she said, pausing for effect, “for a few minutes, then I left because I got a call from the office.”“But you were taken for questioning from the deceased house, how come?” Hades asked further.

Sara felt the urge to ask the one question that had been on her mind ever since she got to know Ares, she hesitated a bit before summoning the courage to ask, promising herself to be okay with whatever the answer was going to be.“Ares,” she called, pausing for his reply “Yes, dearest,” Ares said with a mouthful of ice cream, dragging his eyes away from the tub to look at her with all his attention.“Who are you? What were you to me before the accident” she asked at once, not wanting her thoughts to stop her.Ares sighed, dropping his spoon and taking a napkin on the table to dab at his mouth. He had been expecting this question, but he could not quite say he was ready to answer it yet.But he knew Sara was a curious and inquisitive young woman and would not stop until she got her answers, he a mental note to not say anything about her powers or immortality for now.“It is okay if you don't want to talk about it yet,” Sara said half-heartedly she hoped he would say no and just tell

“Sorry?” Vera unbelievably.“Really?”Ivan asked simultaneously.The surprise in his voice matched that in Vera's“Are you in any way accusing my wife of murder?”Ivan asked, oblivious to the fact that he had just called Vera his wife.Vera's head turned sharply to him at the sound of the word wife, the thought that he still referred to her as his wife even after the divorce gave her a warm feeling in her chest.“your ex-wife you meant,” Hades corrected. He was beginning to not like this Ivan guy and could swear there was something fishy about him."Whatever" Ivan mumbled under his breath“Miss Vera, I am not trying to insinuate or assume that you killed Mr. Steve Anderson,” Hades started in a bid to help her understand his point.“Vera, you see, this is why I don't trust this lawyer thing. Let's just act like Mr. Anderson never even spoke to you today, it was all a threat.” Ivan said, trying to convince her one last time.“Ivan please,” Vera said in a tired voice, “just stop talking an

“what do you think?” Ares asked lightly, “still confused about what flavor you love most?” He asked, raising an eyebrow.“I think I will stick to strawberry,” Sara said, having compared the flavors and concluding that strawberry tasted better.“you just had one spoonful of blueberry, and you have already concluded!” Ares asked in a tone that suggested she had given up too soon.“well, let's just say one spoonful was all I needed to make up my mind.” She said determined.Ares chuckled, looking out the window at the busy street.His mind reeled back to the last time they had spent quality time together, it was a few weeks before the war.His father had prohibited him from seeing her and her sister was adamant about keeping her as far away from her as she couldBut Ares had his way and so did Naira, their keenness to see each other fueled their ability to make a way to meet regardless of factors that stood against themHe remembered the sad smile that adorned her face when they met, he k

"Ares, Ares, Ares!" Sara half yelled "Penny for your thoughts," she said, bringing him back to reality.Ares jolted out of his reverie, looking around to make sure no one saw that. He realized he had been staring at her the whole time, his mind wandered.A strong sense of sadness was brought out of his thoughts, he was particularly enjoying the memory and didn't want it to end yet."What were you thinking about?" Sara asked, anxious to know what had him thinking so much.“You,” he said simply, “us” “Oh okay,” Sara said somewhat as a question.They both paused, each not knowing what to say to the other."We should go for that walk' Ares suggested, taking out his wallet to clear the bills."Yes" Sara agreed almost immediately, she knew it meant he was going to tell her what she wanted to hear.Ares paid the bills on the table, adjusting a corner of the tray on it to hold down the cash."Let's go," he said, standing up to help her.Sara took his hand, willing herself to be left by him,
