"what's your problem?" Vera asked as they walked out of the cafe. She was sick of his attitude."Ivan I am talking to you," she said walking fast behind him to catch up with his pace"Nothing is wrong Vera," Ivan said ashamed to admit his Jealousy at the fact that Vera took Hades' complementary card and even more angry at the fact that he was a new god"something is clearly wrong" you weren't like this earlier when we came," Vera said as they got to the car"I'm sorry Vera," he resorted to apologizing, as he held the car door open for her to enter"That's not what I asked Ivan" Vera repeated firmly this time"What was that attitude about back there?" she persisted"I don't know what that was Vera, I probably'm just worked up," he said gesturing with his hands"I've been overworking lately and I think it's getting to me. I'm really sorry okay" he said genuinely sorry that he let his hate for Hades come this far physically that she was involvedVera stared at him with slitted eyes that

“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

Vera walked into the office, exhausted from the day's event and Ivan's unruly attitude towards the lawyer. Was it jealousy, or just sheer bitterness over the fact that she wants to protect herself and her reputation by getting a lawyer early?But then there was also the possibility that he was going through something else that made him lash out at the attorney like that.Having known him and living under the same roof for three years, she could see that the look in his eyes was not a pleasant one, he was bothered or thinking about something.Not to justify his misbehavior though, he could have been nice if he wanted to, and why did he not want her to get the Hades card?She didn't do well herself by giving him that attitude afterward, but he deserved it, she was exhausted and just needed to rest.She finally got to her office, opening the door with a little more force than she usually would and stepping in, going straight to her desk.Collapsing on her seat, Vera thought about how ex

Ares decided to check on the sect, they hadn't concluded on something in the last meeting before he left angrily, and he hoped they had finally concluded.The wave of anger washed over him as he remembered how Hades had blatantly suggested they use Sara as bait, he would be damned if he allowed such.Scrolling through his phone, he finally saw the contact ID of the one person he could stand talking to currently, the one person who understood him and knew what it was like being in his position.Swiveling in his chair, he waited for her to pick up, his gaze on the screen as it vibrated in his hand.“Hello son,” Mother Isis' calm voice rolled from the other end it had a soothing effect on Ares, like that of a mother lulling her child to sleep.“Mother,” he said, his voice conveying his feelings.“Are you alright, son?” She asked concerned.“I am fine,”“I am not convinced, Ares, but tell me when you are ready to.” Mother Isis said, not convinced by his reply.“I called to ask about the l

Hermès walked back into the bar, sneaking to the back and slipping in through the wall to the arena.Walking through the door and into the hallway, he tracked back to where he had met her a couple of minutes ago.She was nowhere to be found, Hermis looked around the hallway, deciding to check the dome of the closed doors.He was on his third door when he found her sitting at the far end of what could be a study.She was curled up in fetal style, with a glass of whiskey in hand.“Artemis?” He called in a bid to get her attention, she had a faraway look in her eyes and seemed to be deep in her thoughts.“I want to be left alone,” came her weak reply, " close the door behind you.”“Artemis, are you okay?” He asked concerned.“Do I look okay?” She asked back, shooting him a deadly glare.“No, you don't?” Hermit answered, sitting on the side table beside her chair.“What's wrong with Artemis?” He asked again, his heart clenching in his chest at what he knew was the answer.“Nothing Hermis,

Ares leaned into her. He didn't expect her response. He planned to enjoy every bit of it. He felt his head spinning, that was the effect she had on him. He had wanted to kiss her since the first time they met.He took in her scent, a mix of mint and lavender, it made him want her more. Desire filled his eyes, he could almost devour her with it. She lightly bit her lips, something she was fond of doing when she was nervous.He placed his hands softly on the side of her jaw and took her lips.He was gentle. He was soft. He was perfect. Gently, he nudged his tongue between her lips, deepening the kiss. His hands were now on her waist, pulling her closer. He wanted all of her. He pulled away briefly for them to catch their breath. He looked at her, reading her expression for a minute. Taking him by surprise, she located his face and started kissing him. This time he let her take over, hoping a whiff of memory would come to her. She straddled him, continuing the kiss. She wanted him as
