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

Catherine was the perfect definition of 'being classy even in old age'. She slung her bag on her shoulder, and took one last spin, reviewing herself in the mirror before stepping away from it.

"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.

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.
