Zelo's POVI'm not really sure when it all started. I'm not sure when I fell in love with Umbrielle. I just knew that she already become my safe place in just a short period of time."Artemis... That's my real name," she said one night when we were having a drink at her apartment. I don't know how we ended up drinking. We just got brought things in the grocery store and she took a lot of beer. So now, it's the two of us trying to play games while drinking."You have a pretty name..." I said softly while staring into her eyes."I know right." She even laughed a little before rolling the bottle. She looks shy when she’s being complimented. I couldn't stop laughing softly there. She immediately frowned."One truth again," I said. Maybe I'm too thirsty to know her that every time the bottle points to her, I'll ask her to tell one truth about her."Hmm, I'm not as good as you think I am," she said, avoiding my eyes and reaching for her glass."People are not always good though," I said so
…" I can't even control my voice. I can only feel my voice shaking. I can see him looking at me before the tears form in his eyes."Isn't she pretty?" I asked, smiling at him. I saw him slowly nod before looking away."But she left. She left us… I… I hate her…” He was barely able to say that."She has her reason, Baby... And I have fault too... I brought you abroad," I said but he didn't speak there."She wasn't even there when I needed her... Why would she come back as if nothing happened now?" he asked, biting his lip even harder."Baby... Believe me, she wants to. She probably wants to be with you too..." I said, smiling at him. He just cried quietly asking me to give him space. I gave him one. Sometimes, I felt like I wasn't doing my best to be a father to him too. I was always so busy with work that I sometimes didn't bond with him that much.At first, I let him cry his heart out but when he kept locking himself in the room several times, I couldn't stop going to him. I can't jus
Zelo's POV"Fuck it!" I curse while holding the steering wheel tightly.I don't fully understand why the odds are always against me. When I'm finally living my best life with my family, fate will make a move to do something harsh.I almost got into the twins' room but they immediately moved the children and even included Artemis. I don't know what I'll do if I lose any of them. I won't be able to forgive myself.It's my fault for being fucking weak. Why can't I fight those people easily? I should have taken those people to jail long ago.I was driving the car too fast. I can't even calm myself anymore knowing that if I ever come there late, there's a chance that I won't be able to see any of them anymore.It broke my heart to see the two children screaming to help their mother. I could feel the tears forming when I saw the wounds from their bodies. How can people be this monstrous. They don't have any hearts at all."Get the kids to the safe place. Prioritize the kids and Artemis. Mov
Artemis' POV"Fuck," I mumbled to myself as I felt the pain of the gun in my arm. The pain from the bullet that hit me also stings my spine.I was still holding my gun as I held the young kid in my right hand."Shhh, I'm sorry, Baby... Mama will come back... I promise that Mama will take you back..." I said to my son before I kissed his forehead.I will make sure that I'll come back to my son when the time comes but for now? I need to give him to his father first. I need his father's protection because right now, the Tigers, the assassination company I belonged to a year ago, are after me.I was a traitor. They'll kill me when they see me. Not just me. My children too."Mama loves you very much, I will go back to you no matter what happens... I love you, Baby..." At the same time I put him down in the basket I was carrying, Hades cried. I also rang the doorbell before I hid. I need to see him getting inside safely. I just closed my eyes when I saw his father hold him in his arms. His
Artemis' POV"There was an attack at the airport with President Leonard Zelo Cañete inside the plane. The plane landed after he came from America at seven o'clock in the morning. He is said to be with his family when the attack happened." I immediately got close to the television so Seb looked at me. My attention was already glued in front of me. "Why?" Seb curiously looks at me.“He's with my son, Seb!” I said, still looking at the blurred boy who passed by from the plane."Huh? How did you know? They didn't even show his face," she said to me but when she saw that I was serious, she stopped teasing."What do you plan to do now? Will you finally take him back?” she asked me. She didn't need to ask because that was the plan but fuck Zelo, I don't know if he knew that I was spying or what but when I was about to take our child 4 years ago, he brought Hades to America.I tried to go to America with the help of Seb, the Mayor of Cebu now, but I did not succeed. They have a lot of guards
Artemis' POV“Uh-oh… you finally noticed, huh? It took you so long than I expected you to. As if we didn't spend so many nights together, huh?" I asked with a smile while looking in the mirror.He smirked too before raising his eyebrows."Of course, how would I forget a woman I fuck several times but fuck my life in just one move? And even gave me a kid?” The smirk was still there from his lips but the hatred was clearly visible in his eyes. I know that he won't really hesitate to let that bullet meet my skin, so I didn't hesitate to take his gun and try to kick him.I guess I'll be proceeding to my Plan B, huh? Well, all of the plans have the same goal. Stay alive and find my son.I did a kick but he immediately blocked it. He wasn't that genius Zelo now, it was a wrong move that I taught him how to protect himself because in less than a second I could feel his hand on my neck."You know what? Always remember that you can't undo the doer," I laughed and said and removed his hand from
Artemis POVI woke up in a medieval period-like room. All of the furniture looks so expensive. I can't help but curse when I felt the pain all over my body.My hand is also tied. The tie was a bit stupid because I can quickly take it off. I was wearing a white dress while the wound on my body was clearly visible.I'm not sure if I'm still at the Palais because the design of this room seems different.I winced when I felt how much my arm hurt. I even cringed when I saw that there was a tracker on my foot. I just closed my eyes there. Now, I'm sure I'm still in Zelo's place.I looked at the door to see a guard. I'm sure he was one of the PSG because he was wearing a badge and that's the President Security Group's uniform."You are awake. The president wants you to eat properly before he meets you tonight," he said before he promptly placed the food next to the bed. I couldn't stop grinning there before I approached it. I gave him a high kick before I uppercut him. He was at my feet in j
Artemis' POV"What are you talking about?" I looked at him with a frown before my eyes gradually sharpened. I can't even find where he hid him for years and now he's going to accuse me of trying to kidnap our child? Well, I planned to but it never happened because he always knew when I was near!"Are you still going to lie? That's your plan on why you applied here, right?" he asked coldly while still raising his eyebrows at me. He acted like he was interrogating me."Yes, that's right. I'm here because I want to take my son but I didn't know what you are saying!" I said angrily. He just kept looking at me as if he was judging my whole being."What happened to my son?" I asked trying to get closer to him."Never mind if you are not the one who tried to kidnap him," he said and tried to turn his back on me but I quickly got close to him and held his wrist."I'm fucking asking you what happened to my son? Is my son in danger?” I asked while I felt my chest pounding.“He's my son, not you
