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

"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,

“Ares I would rather not be patient” she countered, letting her chin slip out of his grasp“Sara, some things are beyond your understanding right now” with time you definitely will understand”“We should return” Sara suggested, while the delay of not knowing the truth was getting her frustrated, and the warmth of that bed and her guitar were going to ease her mind.“Sara,” Ares started“Ares I would rather not be patient” she countered, letting her chin slip out of his grasp“Sara, some things are beyond your understanding right now” with time you definitely will understand”“We should return” Sara proposed, while the delay of not knowing the truth was getting her frustrated and the warmth of that bed and her guitar were certainly going to ease her mind.“Sara,” Ares started“please Ares, let's just go home” She was surprised she called it home, probably because it felt somewhat like a home to her now a home she'd only been in for about two daysAres knew it was time to go home, he ha

“I found Hades” were the first words that Ivan boomed into the phone, immediately Hermès picked up on the second ring.“What?” Hermès asked to confirm. “I found Hades” Ivan repeated“How, that easy?” “I'll be at the bar in twenty minutes, meet me there,” Ivan said” and bring Artemis with you”“Uhm, I don't know about that,” Hades said, “she has been sour all day”“Yeah, I may have noticed,” Ivan confirmed, worried something was wrong with her. “ She was sounding off, just check on her, will you.”“ I'll try, you know how she can be when she is like that,” Hades said.“Just do what you can,” “I will see you in a bit,” he said before hanging up Ivan maneuvered through the traffic, eyes set on the road as he thought of ways to deal with the Hades issue.What with him being Vera's attorney-to-be and the fact that Mr. Anderson might still proceed with his threats, Ivan had encountered the man a few times in the past three years, and he could easily tell that he was trouble.Marilyn kne

Hades watched the duo walk out of the café, he let out a little mocking snort.One of the many reasons he had not gone into divorce law was to avoid couples like this.The toxic jealous ex-husband is still very much in love with his wife but too irresponsible to take on the responsibility properly there leading to a divorce and yet not wanting to leave the poor woman be.Why was the Ivan guy jealous, he acted like he was paid to sabotage his work and twat his plans, but Hades knew how to handle such people and put them in their places.His thoughts went back to the moment when he tried to get in his head, the force of resistance was so strong he could bet that man was not just any man, he was not just mortal.That would be jumping to a conclusion, Hades cautioned himself. Maybe he hadn't tried enough or probably didn't persist enough, he thought.Sara found her way to the bed, sighing with relief when her hands brushed in the already mad smooth sheet of the bed.She sat on it, throwin
