Fires Within Fires CHAPTER 6
HADES POVThe funeral was a waste of time. Hearing the priest call out forgiveness for him. Telling that heaven awaits him and blah blah.We all know his soul must be already rotting in hell somewhere. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing him getting six feet under. Slowly and slowly. We buried him in our ancestral graveyard. The media was not allowed to pass the premises of the church. But they must have taken photos which with no doubt will be pasted on all the newspapers and news channels.It was evening when I got free at last. I took a ride back and returned to my room.I need to drink. To rejoice. Just when I was thinking of opening the mini-fridge to check which ones were here. I noticed a moment. Someone was on the terrace, sitting on the chairs.I opened the glass door. He was the one I was expecting to see. My childhood friend. How could he miss this moment?Jace turns around and holds the bottles he has brought “Sorry for barging into your room like that but the occasion wa

This time Jace tried to say something. I stopped him with the hand gesture of stop. He reluctantly did. I knew that he wanted to interrupt, it was written on his face. It is his nature. But the fact is We both know how messy it is to get involved with the civilians. they do not know our rules. they do not know how to survive in our circles and so on. They fell prey to the spiders. But even when she hasn’t said a word. Even when I had not gotten a taste of her. She already has my full attention. I want her. She is not like other whores I usually fuck. I want to cage her. I want her for myself only. I want to smell myself on her. I already feel possessive about her. So Jace has to shut up his calculating mouth and let the scene play. Let her fall for me. Let me approach her and take her. She must have surprise written on her face. But suddenly her body tensed. I could sense it from the tightness of the dress at her back. The waiter points towards me telling her that I am the one who

Flashback end I hope she can see the promise hidden. Or else I will make her remember it the hard way. I kicked Jace’s leg and he sits up straight.“You know the bástardos left with another problem”“What?” he sobers up a little.I went to my room inside the walk-in closet. Behind my set of white and black shirts was my locker. I had put the box inside it. Only I know the combination. In this house, Walls not have ears but pestering eyes too. So, it’s better to keep it safe.I opened it. A picture of a kid was the first thing that came into my hand. There was an address on it.There are some other things in the box. I will check them some other time.I came back to the terrace and handed the photo to Jace.“He is just a kid.” He says after looking at it.“Yes, a kid. A bastard kid from my father” I spat.He groans. “Now what? You want me to find and kill him? He hesitates and says “You know I do not kill….. ”He is the best person for this job. He knows how to find the people who a

Both of them exchanged glances and then the one in the passenger seat turned and replied “you will get your answers in a while” he paused for a moment and continued “The old man who always takes you is waiting for you”.It means today I will a good chance at knowing about the people who are helping me. There must be a reason behind it. Nothing comes free in this world.This man has been my saving grace. Since that unfortunate night when I could not think of the next step. I had no one to turn to that night. Just two months old Ayla in my hands. I know that the old man is not the head. He had also made this clear too that the one who texts me the next location is.Even if I get to meet his boss tonight or not. I will demand answers. If he is such a well-wisher of mine, why doesn’t he come forward and reveals himself?I could see Ayla’s eyes drooping. She is just a small girl. She doesn’t even have breakfast yet. Al

Seph’s POV:I couldn’t take my eyes off his face. His eyes held so many emotions but anger ruled them all. Did he see all that? It’s so embarrassing. Heat rushed to my cheeks. He came closer. I wanted to give him some kind of an explanation so I opened my mouth. Before I could even utter a word, he took my arm in a strong grip.It hurt. Something had taken over him. He ignored the pain that flashed in my eyes, something that had never happened before. He just dragged me to the car and threw me on the passenger side. The door closed with a loud thump and I flinched. Is he being angry after seeing all that? I know that He was a little overprotective but now his reactions are scaring me.He is my father I know he will never hurt me I chided to my heart. His anger will fade away. Maybe I should try to cool the situation.Just when I was going to speak, He raised his hand “stop! don't say a word Seph. Not right now”His words expressed disgust. But what I had done to deserve this? I conclu

I was stunned that he had used these words for me. For her daughter. A lone tear escaped my eye. The realization of what he had just said struck him hard too. He came for my hands with apologizing gaze but now I was in no condition to listen to his explanation. He had said that I was a whore. I ran upstairs to my room and locked it. I had never imagined that my father would say such a word to me. Ever. If mamá was here with me she would have calmed him. She would have never let her say that to me. My reflection in the mirror caught my attention and my locket glistened in the light coming from the window. I moved closer to it and removed my tears. The locket was given to me by my mother. It had two wings at each side that would open up and inside it was engraved prostátis in ancient Greek. It meant “protector”. I remember that once my mother told me that she got this when she was young and sightseeing at a temple with her friends. She and another one of her friends had helped an old

Anonymous place I woke up with frantic breaths. Why do I keep seeing That woman again in my dreams? The one with dark brown hair. No matter how much I try, I can’t seem to remember any kind of facial expression. Her eyes her mouth nothing is visible. She just stands there. I will never find out who is she. Because I will never get out of here. How long will I stay here? Why was I left here in the first place.? This seems like some of a mental institute. The doctor says I am sick this is why I am here. I don’t know how much time has passed since I was left here. Why was I left here? What did I do wrong? I don’t remember anything about my family. Who are they? Where do they live? How old am I? Stupid brain! Why do not I remember anything? The room I am in is a white one. Everything inside is white. I am laying on the small hospital bed with my hands and feet strapped to it. There are two doors connected to my room. One leads to the bathroom and the other… outside. It must be the e

Five years Back The Night of Engagement SEPH’S POV It is the night of the engagement. I stood in front of the full-length mirror clad in a white dress that had delicately designed pink flowers. It felt like a funeral preparation minus the black dress. I took a hold of my mother’s locket and put it around my neck. I closed my eyes and imagined her looking at me. She must be watching over me. She must be praying for our success tonight. She is my strength. I am at Aunt Erca’s house. Two months back we had welcomed the baby girl and named her Ayla. A halo of light above the moon. Just like her name her face is bright as the moon. In our times of distress, she bought a relief. Just like how even a flicker of light could erase darkness. She gave us hope in this turmoil. We decided to dress up in Aunt Erca’s home. The dress that the monster has bought me, I will wear on his funeral. the funeral of his ego and honor. Bampás and Uncle Nico had refused to deliver me to the devil. They wi
